What exactly is learned in visual statistical learning? Insights from Bayesian modeling
(Cognition, 2019)It is well documented that humans can extract patterns from continuous input through Statistical Learning (SL) mechanisms. The exact computations underlying this ability, however, remain unclear. One outstanding controversy ... -
What happened during the climate change negotiations in Copenhagen 2009?
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2009-06-05)This policy briefing summarizes the results of the last United Nations Climate Change summit (COP 15) held in Copenhagen (Denmark) between 7-18 December. The postures taken by the main countries during the summit, the main ... -
What is the Price of Conservation? A Review of the Status Quo and Recommendations for Improving Cost Reporting
(BioScience, 2022)Wildlife conservation is severely limited by funding. Therefore, to maximize biodiversity outcomes, assessing financial costs of interventions is as important as assessing effectiveness. We reviewed the reporting of costs ... -
What makes an awfully good oxymoron?
(ELSEVIER, 2024)Oxymorons combine two opposite terms in a paradoxical manner. They are closely intertwined with antonymy, since the union of antonymous items creates the paradoxical effect of the oxymoron and generates a new meaning. ... -
What usage can do: The effect of language dominance on simultaneous bilinguals’ morphosyntactic processing
(Linguistics Vanguard, 2016)Even when bilinguals learn both languages from birth and achieve high levels of proficiency, they rarely use their languages to the same degree. Recent findings suggest that individual differences in bilingual profile ... -
When A Nonnative Accent Lets You Spot All the Errors: Examining the Syntactic Interlanguage Benefit
(MIT PRESS, 2022)In our continuously globalizing world, cross-cultural and cross-linguistic communications are far from exceptional. A wealth of research has indicated that the processing of nonnative-accented speech can be challenging for ... -

When is irony influenced by communicative constraints? ERP evidence supporting interactive models
(European Journal of Neuroscience, 2019)Distinct theoretical proposals have described how communicative constraints (contextual biases, speaker identity) impact verbal irony processing. Modular models assume that social and contextual factors have an effect ... -
When linguistic dogma rejects a neuroscientific hypothesis
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2023)Kazanina and Tavano argue that delta- band oscillations cannot be involved in multi-word or multi-morpheme chunking during language comprehension because the timing of syntactic structure is too variable (Kazanina, N. & ... -
When more is more. L2 agreement improves when listeners can rely on both noun and verbal features
(Šnek Publishing, 2022)English verbal agreement has been shown to be a particularly challenging domain in both first and second language acquisition. In this study, we tested the comprehension of sentences with masked and unmasked agreement ... -
When the end matters: influence of gender cues during agreement computation in bilinguals
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2017)The present event-related potential (ERP) study was aimed at testing whether form-function mappings can differently affect sentence comprehension in early bilinguals with a range of linguistic profiles. Basque–Spanish ... -
When the “Tabula” is Anything but “Rasa:” What Determines Performance in the Auditory Statistical Learning Task?
(WILEY, 2022)How does prior linguistic knowledge modulate learning in verbal auditory statistical learning (SL) tasks? Here, we address this question by assessing to what extent the frequency of syllabic co-occurrences in the learners’ ... -
When two movements collide: Learning from labour and environmental struggles for future Just Transitions
(Futures, 2022)The term ‘Just Transition’ (JT) emerged from the 1970s North American labour movement to become a campaign for a planned energy transition that includes justice and fairness for workers. There is diversity in the JT ... -
When we cannot have it all: Ecosystem services trade-offs in the context of spatial planning
(Elsevier, 2018)Spatial planning has to deal with trade-offs between various stakeholders wishes and needs as part of planning and management of landscapes, natural resources and/or biodiversity. To make ecosystem services (ES) trade-off ... -
When “He” Can Also Be “She”: An ERP Study of Reflexive Pronoun Resolution in Written Mandarin Chinese
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)The gender information in written Chinese third person pronouns is not symmetrically encoded: the character for “he” (yes, with semantic radical yes, meaning human) is used as a default referring to every individual, while ... -
Where do dialectal effects on speech processing come from? Evidence from a cross-dialect investigation
(The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2017)Accented speech has been seen as an additional impediment for speech processing; it usually adds linguistic and cognitive load to the listener's task. In the current study we analyse where the processing costs of regional ... -
Where is the EU headed given its current climate policy? A stakeholder-driven model inter-comparison
(Science of the Total Environment, 2021-11-01)Recent calls to do climate policy research with, rather than for, stakeholders have been answered in non-modelling science. Notwithstanding progress in modelling literature, however, very little of the scenario space traces ... -
Which policy option can be more cost-effective in promoting the use of energy efficient appliances in Europe? A comparison of energy taxes, subsidies, tax credits and bans.
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2009-07-05)BC3 Basque Centre for climate change – Klima aldaketa ikergai. The BC3 is a Research Centre based in the Basque Country, which aims at contributing to long term research on the causes and consequences of Climate Change. -
Whistling shares a common tongue with speech: bioacoustics from real-time MRI of the human vocal tract
(Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019)Most human communication is carried by modulations of the voice. However, a wide range of cultures has developed alternative forms of communication that make use of a whistled sound source. For example, whistling is used ... -
White matter microstructure of attentional networks predicts attention and consciousness functional interactions
(Brain Structure and Function, 2018)Attention is considered as one of the pre-requisites of conscious perception. Phasic alerting and exogenous orienting improve conscious perception of near-threshold information through segregated brain networks. Using a ...
