Subject-verb agreement in real time: active feature maintenances as syntactic prediction.
(2020-01-10)
The current dissertation tests whether the long-distance subject-verb establishment is maintained active over the course of the sentence, by maintaining morphosyntactic information such as syntactic category and number ...
Neural Plasticity of Language Systems: evidence from fMRI experiments with adult language learners
(2021-09-07)
Functional specialisation and plasticity are fundamental organising principles of the brain. Language is a uniquely human phenomenon that requires a delicate balance between neural specialisation and plasticity, and language ...
Reading acquisition: from digital screening to neurocognitive bases in a transparent orthography
(2021-09-15)
El aprendizaje de la lectura es un área activa de investigación en la psicología y la neurociencia cognitiva. En las últimas décadas se ha avanzado enormemente en la comprensión de los procesos neurocognitivos subyacentes ...
Human thalamocortical connections and their involvement in language systems.
(2022-09-30)
During evolution the expansion of the neocortex has been linked with the emergence of higher level cognitive functions, such as reasoning, abstract thinking, or language in human beings. Current research on cognitive ...
The role of metacognitive monitoring in regulating learning in early readers
(2021-12-10)
Metacognition refers to the capacity of reflecting upon our own cognitive processes. There is an ongoing discussion in the literature on the role of metacognitive monitoring in learning and academic achievement. However, ...
The Influence of Literacy on Speech. The Orthographic Consistency Effect in Auditory Language Perception and Language Production
(2022-10-06)
The present thesis presents a series of experiments that explore of the Orthographic Consistency Effect (OCE) in auditory language perception and production. The OCE is a psycholinguistic effect that shows a facilitation ...
Assessing the representation of seen and unseen contents in human brains and deep artificial networks
(2022-11-26)
The functional scope of unconscious visual information processing and its implementation in the human brain remains a highly contested issue in cognitive neuroscience. The influential global workspace and higher-order ...
The role of orthography in auditory word learning
(2023-02-20)
The present thesis investigates the role of orthography in auditory word learning. Across three experiments we explore whether adult speakers of Spanish (Experiments 1 and 3) and French (Experiment 2) use their knowledge ...
Magnocellular and parvocellular visual pathways, involvement in reading. Examination of developmental trajectories, visual cortex regions and reading circuitries
(2022-05-23)
The magnocellular and parvocellular systems are major visual recognition pathways, with distinct histological and physiological properties. Despite their critical role, there is limited evidence on the specific contributions ...
