How ageing changes the mnemonic bias of visual behaviour
(Visual Cognition, 2017)Ageing is associated with deficits in cognitive control, including attention and working memory processes. However, how ageing influences the interactions between these cognitive systems is not well understood. The present ... -
How and When Does the Second Language Influence the Production of Native Speech Sounds: A Literature Review
(Language Learning, 2016)In bilinguals and second language learners, the native (L1) and nonnative (L2) languages coexist and interact. The L1 influences L2 production via forward transfer, as is seen with foreign accents. However, language ... -
How are cities planning to respond to climate change? Assessment of local climate plans from 885 cities in the EU-28
(Elsevier, 2018)The Paris Agreement aims to limit global mean temperature rise this century to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. This target has wide-ranging implications for Europe and its cities, which are the source of ... -
How are Italian and Spanish cities tackling climate change? A local comparative study
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-03-26)Cities are widely recognised as being pivotal to fight climate change. They magnify the drivers of climate change, experience the impacts and also concentrate the highest room for action. Although urban areas are broadly ... -
How are visual words represented? Insights from EEG-based visual word decoding, feature derivation and image reconstruction
(Human Brain Mapping, 2019)Investigations into the neural basis of reading have shed light on the cortical locus and the functional role of visual-orthographic processing. Yet, the fine-grained structure of neural representations subserving reading ... -
How Brain-Related Observations Can Be Used to Support Learners to Acquire Full Literacy? Brain-Related Research as a Support Mechanism to Help Learners to Acquire Full Literacy.
(MDPI, 2023)Possibly some of the most important skills that one can have are those needed to become fully literate. We all wish our children to reach such a goal. Unfortunately, the focus of attention in reading research has been on ... -
How can we all help conserve nature?

How do interactive flood simulation models influence decision-making? An observations-based evaluation method
(MDPI, 2019)Interactive flood simulations models are computer models that are usable for practitioners during work sessions, allowing demand-driven flood simulations together with domain experts. It is assumed among developers of such ... -
How do Spanish speakers read words? Insights from a crowdsourced lexical decision megastudy
(Behavior Research Methods, 2020)Vocabulary size seems to be affected by multiple factors, including those that belong to the properties of the words themselves and those that relate to the characteristics of the individuals assessing the words. In this ... -
How Do We Keep Information ‘Online’?
(Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2017)New magnetoencephalography (MEG) results indicate that a putative marker of conscious processes – namely, the global broadcasting of information across large-scale cortical networks – can also operate during the maintenance ... -
How does management affect soil C sequestration and greenhouse gas fluxes in boreal and temperate forests? – A review
(Forest Ecology and Management, 2023)The global forest carbon (C) stock is estimated at 662 Gt of which 45% is in soil organic matter. Thus, comprehensive understanding of the effects of forest management practices on forest soil C stock and greenhouse gas ... -
How much do visual cues help listeners in perceiving accented speech?
(Applied Psycholinguistics, 2019)It has been documented that lipreading facilitates the understanding of difficult speech, such as noisy speech and time-compressed speech. However, relatively little work has addressed the role of visual information in ... -
How regulating and cultural services of ecosystems have changed over time in Italy
