Development of the lexical-semantic organization in the infant brain: electrophysiological evidence

Salle des voûtes, St Charles 3 place Victor Hugo, Marseille, France

Dr. Pia Rämä Until recently, there has been little evidence regarding how and when infants begin to integrate words into an inter-connected lexical-semantic system.
