Abstract:What factors determine the importance placed on different sources of evidence during speech and music perception? Attention-to-dimension theories suggest that, through prolonged exposure to their first language (L1), listeners become biased to attend to acoustic dimensions especially informative in that language. Given that selective attention can modulate cortical tracking of sound, attention-to-dimension accounts would predict that tone language speakers would show greater cortical tracking of pitch in L2 sp… Show more
