In a broad sense, this dataset explores morphological and phonological processing in English monolinguals and two bilingual populations, Chinese-English and Spanish-English, using a battery of standardized and self-developed behavioral measures, as well as fNIRS neuroimaging.

Morphological and phonological processing in English monolingual, Chinese-English bilingual, and Spanish-English bilingual children: An fNIRS neuroimaging dataset.

The dataset includes 51 children (age range = 6-12 years) who listened to the first chapter of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland during fNIRS neuroimaging. We also provide the text of the story with several word-by-word predictors motivated by research in Theory of Mind development and language. These annotated, naturalistic datasets can be used to replicate prior work and test new hypotheses about everyday social cognition and natural language comprehension in the developing brain.
