项目摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project will examine the neural basis of language development using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). In a longitudinal design, young children will be given word level and sentence level tasks that tap into phonological, semantic and morpho-syntactic processing. We hypothesize that temporo-parietal cortex becomes more specialized over development for distinct linguistic representations through increasing interaction (i.e. connectivity) with frontal cortex. Specialization should be characterized by increases in differential responses in temporo-parietal cortex to tasks tapping into distinct aspects of linguistic function. This project will test the interactive-specialization
model that makes clear predictions of developmental brain differences [1, 2], but has little direct
neuroimaging evidence to support it [19]. The central tenet of this model is that interaction between brain regions drives the specialization of brain regions for making certain computations. An extension of the interactive-specialization model predicts that children with LI should have lack of specialization in temporo-parietal cortex perhaps due to altered interaction between temporo-parietal and frontal regions. Functional connectivity between brain regions will be measured with Psychophysiological Interaction (PPI) and specialization will be measured with activation differences, but also with Representational Similarity Analysis (RSA). Examination of language development in the transition from preschool to elementary school is important because this transition is marked by mastery of complex morpho-syntactic principles, elaboration and refinement of semantic representations, and by increases in children's ability to process phonemic information. Central to testing our overarching hypothesis is quantifying brain changes in young children, and differences that emerge in language impairment (LI). Previous fMRI studies have generally used cross-sectional designs and have only examined one age group, have examined a wide age range (i.e. from kindergarten through adolescence) and/or have not examined multiple linguistic processes. Moreover, only a handful of neuroimaging studies have examined the brain basis of LI in children. Our project will overcome these shortcomings by using a longitudinal approach to examine the development of multiple linguistic processes in young children. Longitudinal approaches are rarely used in the developmental neuroimaging literature, but are crucial for gaining insights into what mechanisms drive language development. A significant strength of our project is the use of theoretically motivated experimental tasks based on extensive behavioral literature to investigate innovative ideas regarding brain development in young children. The use of sophisticated change models will also allow us to determine whether the longitudinal growth in language impairment represents a quantitative versus qualitative difference and whether neuroimaging measures can be used to uniquely predict those children who are likely to fall further behind in language processing.
描述(由申请人提供):该项目将使用功能磁共振成像(fMRI)检查语言发展的神经基础。在纵向设计中,将为幼儿提供单词级别和句子级别的任务,这些任务涉及语音,语义和形态句法处理。我们假设颞顶皮层通过增加与额叶皮层的相互作用(即连通性)而变得更专业而不是开发的开发。专业化的特征在于颞顶皮层中差异反应的增加,以利用语言功能的不同方面。该项目将测试交互式特殊化
明确预测发育大脑差异的模型[1,2],但几乎没有直接
神经影像证据支持它[19]。该模型的核心原则是,大脑区域之间的相互作用驱动大脑区域进行某些计算的专业化。交互式特殊化模型的扩展预测,LI患者在颞顶皮层中应该缺乏专业化,这可能是由于颞顶区域和额叶区域之间的相互作用的改变。大脑区域之间的功能连通性将通过心理生理相互作用(PPI)来衡量,并且将通过激活差异来测量专业化,但也将通过代表性相似性分析(RSA)来衡量。检查从学龄前到小学的过渡中的语言发展很重要,因为这种过渡的特征是掌握了复杂的形态句法原理,语义表征的阐述和完善,以及儿童处理音素信息的能力的提高。测试我们的总体假设的核心是量化幼儿的大脑变化,以及语言障碍(LI)的差异。以前的功能磁共振成像研究通常使用横截面设计,并且仅检查了一个年龄段,研究了较广泛的年龄范围(即从幼儿园到青春期)和/或没有检查多个语言过程。此外,只有少数神经影像学研究检查了儿童LI的大脑基础。我们的项目将通过使用纵向方法来检查幼儿多种语言过程的发展来克服这些缺点。纵向方法很少用于发育神经影像学文献,但对于获得哪些机制推动语言发展的见解至关重要。我们项目的重要优势是基于广泛的行为文献的理论动机实验任务,以调查有关幼儿大脑发育的创新思想。复杂变化模型的使用还将使我们能够确定语言障碍的纵向增长是否代表了定量差异与定性差异,以及神经影像措施是否可以用于独特地预测那些可能在语言处理中进一步落后的孩子。
