World knowledge integration during second language comprehension
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)
In order to study the difficulties experienced during sentence comprehension in a foreign language
(L2), we investigated semantic and world knowledge information retrieval in L2 comprehenders.
Event-related potentials ...
Developmental Differences across Middle Childhood in Memory and Suggestibility for Negative and Positive Events
(Behavioral Sciences and the Law, 2016)
In the present study, we investigated age differences in children's eyewitness memory and suggestibility for negative and positive events that children often experience during middle childhood. We first examined 216 ratings ...
Holiday or vacation? The processing of variation in vocabulary across dialects
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)
Native speakers with different linguistic backgrounds differ in their usage of language, and
particularly in their vocabulary. For instance, British natives would use the word "holiday" when
American natives would prefer ...
On the overlap between bilingual language control and domain-general executive control
(Acta Psychologica, 2016)
We explored the overlap between bilingual language control (bLC) and domain-general executive control (EC)
by focusing on inhibitory control processes. We tested 62 bilinguals in linguistic and non-linguistic switching
tasks ...
Bayesian longitudinal segmentation of hippocampal substructures in brain MRI using subject-specific atlases
(NeuroImage, 2016)
The hippocampal formation is a complex, heterogeneous structure that consists of a number of distinct,
interacting subregions. Atrophy of these subregions is implied in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases,
most ...
The Role of Morphological Markedness in the Processing of Number and Gender Agreement in Spanish: An Event-Related Potential Investigation
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)
Current morphological theory assumes that feature values, such as masculine and feminine or singular and plural, are asymmetrically represented. That is, one member of the opposition (e.g. feminine for gender, plural for ...
Some people are ‘‘More Lexical” than others
(Cognition, 2016)
People can understand speech under poor conditions, even when successive pieces of the waveform are
flipped in time. Using a new method to measure perception of such stimuli, we show that words with
sounds based on rapid ...
Commentary on "Sentential influences on acoustic-phonetic processing: a Granger causality analysis of multimodal imaging data"
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)
Disparate semantic ambiguity effects from semantic processing dynamics rather than qualitative task differences
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)
A core challenge in the semantic ambiguity literature is understanding why the number and
relatedness among a word’s interpretations are associated with different effects in different
tasks. An influential account (Hino ...
Developmental changes associated with cross-language similarity in bilingual children
(Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 2016)
The main goal of the present study was to investigate how the degree of orthographic
overlap between translation equivalents influences bilingual word recognition
processes at different stages of reading development. ...
