Does bilingualism shape inhibitory control in the elderly?
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2016)
Bilingualism has been argued to benefit executive functioning. However, recent research suggests that this advantage may stem from uncontrolled factors or incorrectly matched samples. In this study we test the effects of ...
Out-of-Synchrony Speech Entrainment in Developmental Dyslexia
(Human Brain Mapping, 2016)
Developmental dyslexia is a reading disorder often characterized by reduced awareness of speech units. Whether the neural source of this phonological disorder in dyslexic readers results from the malfunctioning of the ...
Functional Dynamics of Dorsal and Ventral Reading Networks in Bilinguals
(Cerebral Cortex, 2017)
In today’s world, bilingualism is increasingly common. However, it is still unclear how left-lateralized dorsal and ventral
reading networks are tuned to reading in proficient second-language learners. Here, we investigated ...
Cross-modal noise compensation in audiovisual words
(Scientific Reports, 2017)
Perceiving linguistic input is vital for human functioning, but the process is complicated by the fact that the incoming signal is often degraded. However, humans can compensate for unimodal noise by relying on simultaneous ...
The BEST dataset of language proficiency
(2017-02-02)
Consonantal overlap effects in a perceptual matching task
(Experimental Brain Research, 2016)
This study investigates the processing of letter
position coding by exploring whether or not two explicitly
presented words that share the same consonants, but that
differ in their vowels, exert mutual interference more ...
Cross-linguistic interactions influence reading development in bilinguals: a comparison between early balanced French-Basque and Spanish-Basque bilingual children
(Developmental Science, 2016)
This study investigates whether orthographic consistency and transparency of languages have an impact on the development of
reading strategies and reading sub-skills (i.e. phonemic awareness and visual attention span) in ...
Language dominance shapes non-linguistic rhythmic grouping in bilinguals
(Cognition, 2016)
To what degree non-linguistic auditory rhythm perception is governed by universal biases (e.g., Iambic-
Trochaic Law; Hayes, 1995) or shaped by native language experience is debated. It has been proposed
that rhythmic ...
Cross-language and cross-modal activation in hearing bimodal bilinguals
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2016)
This study investigates cross-language and cross-modal activation in bimodal bilinguals.
Two groups of hearing bimodal bilinguals, natives (Experiment 1) and late learners
(Experiment 2), for whom spoken Spanish is their ...
Stereotypes override grammar: Social knowledge in sentence comprehension
(Brain & Language, 2016)
Many studies have provided evidence for the automaticity and immediacy with which stereotypical knowledge affects our behavior. However, less is known about how such social knowledge interacts with linguistic cues during ...
