Breaking Down the Bilingual Cost in Speech Production
(Cognitive Science, 2016)
Bilinguals have been shown to perform worse than monolinguals in a variety of verbal tasks. This
study investigated this bilingual verbal cost in a large-scale picture-naming study conducted in Spanish.
We explored how ...
Foreign-accented speech modulates linguistic anticipatory processes
(Neuropsychologia, 2016)
Listeners are able to anticipate upcoming words during sentence comprehension, and, as a result, they also pre-activate semantically related words. In the present study, we aim at exploring whether these anticipatory ...
The effects of motivational reward on the pathological attentional blink following right hemisphere stroke
(Neuropsychologia, 2016)
Recent work has shown that attentional deficits following stroke can be modulated by motivational stimulation, particularly anticipated monetary reward. Here we examined the effects of anticipated reward on the pathological ...
Semantic parafoveal-on-foveal effects and preview benefits in reading: Evidence from Fixation Related Potentials
(Brain and Language, 2016)
During reading parafoveal information can affect the processing of the word currently fixated (parafovea-on-fovea effect) and words perceived parafoveally can facilitate their subsequent processing when they are fixated ...
Listeners beware: Speech production may be bad for learning speech sounds
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2016)
Spoken language requires individuals to both perceive and produce speech. Because both
processes access lexical and sublexical representations, it is commonly assumed that perception
and production involve cooperative ...
Are go/no-go tasks preferable to two-choice tasks in response time experiments with older adults?
(Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 2016)
Recent research has shown that, in response time (RT) tasks, the go/no-go response
procedure produces faster (and less noisy) RTs and fewer errors than the two-choice
response procedure in children, although these ...
Quantifying lip-read-induced suppression and facilitation of the auditory N1 and P2 reveals peak enhancements and delays
(Psychophysiology, 2016)
Lip-read speech suppresses and speeds up the auditory N1 and P2 peaks, but these effects are not always observed or reported. Here, the robustness of lip-read-induced N1/P2 suppression and facilitation in phonetically ...
Is VIRTU4L Larger Than VIR7UAL? Automatic Processing of Number Quantity and Lexical Representations in Leet Words
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016)
Recent research has shown that leet words (i.e., words in which some of the letters are replaced by visually similar digits; e.g., VIRTU4L) can be processed as their base words without much cost. However, it remains unclear ...
The role of letter features in visual-word recognition: Evidence from a delayed segment technique
(Acta Psychologica, 2016)
Do all visual features in aword's constituent letters have the same importance during lexical access? Herewe examined
whether some components of a word's letters (midsegments, junctions, terminals) are more important
than ...
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 ...
