Development of Pitch Perception and the Processing of Simultaneous Sounds in Infancy

The article focuses on the development of pitch perception and the processing of simultaneous sounds during infancy. It mentions that based on the electrophysiological (EEG) and event-related potential (ERP) responses, the auditory cortex of very young infants is more or less immature. It adds that the ability to integrate harmonics to a single precept to perceive two auditory objects depend on cortical maturation.
