Abstract
Early parental language input strongly predicts children's language development and academic success. Little is known about relations between early input and the neurobiology of language. Among different measures of input, parents' decontextualized utterances about abstract topics predict children's language outcomes more strongly than parental socioeconomic status and input quantity. Here, using fMRI, we show that preschool parental language input is associated with school-aged children recruiting different neurocognitive systems for language processing.
