As evidence builds that individual differences in musical are significant predictors of children’s speech and language development, many questions remain about the cognitive and biological mechanisms underlying these associations. I will present a series of studies that form a multi-methodological approach to understanding how rhythm sensitivity might lead to individual differences in language acquisition, in children with typical and atypical development. I will then discuss new findings on the genetic basis of rhythm and predictions for shared genetic architecture with language traits.
