Passive learning of speech sounds associated with microstructure of fronto-temporo-parietal but not fronto-striatal white matter tracts : possible implications for implicit language learning tasks
Language learning involves implicitly acquiring a sensitivity for novel speech sounds and phonological structure [1]. Implicit learning skill differs between individuals [2] and this individual difference could potentially be reflected in the quality of white matter tracts relevant for speech perception and production [3] or for implicit sequence learning [4]. Implicit learning of speech has been
