Highlights:

    • Hybrid visual fixation was used to compare speech perception in family risk (FR) and no family risk (NFR) infants.
    • FR infants show a subtle delay in the developmental trajectory of speech perception.
    • Bayesian hierarchical modeling enabled analysis of individual discrimination skills.
    • Bayesian hierarchical modeling holds promise for prospective longitudinal studies.
