Imageability ratings across languages
(Behavior Research Methods, 2018)Imageability is a psycholinguistic variable that indicates how well a word gives rise to a mental image or sensory experience. Imageability ratings are used extensively in psycholinguistic, neuropsychological, and ... -
Comparing the potential of MEG and EEG to uncover brain tracking of speech temporal envelope
(NeuroImage, 2019)During connected speech listening, brain activity tracks speech rhythmicity at delta (∼0.5 Hz) and theta (4–8 Hz) frequencies. Here, we compared the potential of magnetoencephalography (MEG) and high-density electroencephalography ... -
Bilingual Preschoolers ’ Speech is Associated with Non-Native Maternal Language Input
(Language Learning and Development, 2019)Bilingual children are often exposed to non-native speech through their parents. Yet, little is known about the relation between bilingual preschoolers’ speech production and their speech input. The present study investigated ... -
Is the LAN effect in morphosyntactic processing an ERP artifact?
(Brain and Language, 2019)The left anterior negativity (LAN) is an ERP component that has been often associated with morphosyntactic processing, but recent reports have questioned whether the LAN effect, in fact, exists. The present project examined ... -
The role of preview validity in predictability and frequency effects on eye movements in reading
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019)A word’s predictability, as measured by its cloze probability, has a robust influence on the time a reader’s eyes spend on the word, with more predictable words receiving shorter fixations. However, several previous studies ... -
Implementing EEG hyperscanning setups
(MethodsX, 2019)Hyperscanning refers to obtaining simultaneous neural recordings from more than one person (Montage et al., 2002 [1]), that can be used to study interactive situations. In particular, hyperscanning with Electroencephalography ... -
Metacognitive scaffolding boosts cognitive and neural benefits following executive attention training in children
(Developmental Science, 2019)Interventions including social scaffolding and metacognitive strategies have been used in educational settings to promote cognition. In addition, increasing evidence shows that computerized process-based training enhances ... -
Making sense of social interaction: Emotional coherence drives semantic integration as assessed by event-related potentials
(Neuropsychologia, 2019)We compared event-related potentials during sentence reading, using impression formation equations of a model of affective coherence, to investigate the role of affective content processing during meaning making. The model ... -
Talker and Acoustic Variability in Learning to Produce Nonnative Sounds: Evidence from Articulatory Training
(Language Learning, 2019)Compared to low‐variability training, high‐variability training leads to better learning outcomes and supports generalization of learning. However, it is unclear whether the learning advantage is driven by multiple talkers ... -
Neural substrates of subphonemic variation and lexical competition in spoken word recognition
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2019)In spoken word recognition, subphonemic variation influences lexical activation, with sounds near a category boundary increasing phonetic competition as well as lexical competition. The current study investigated the ... -
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 ... -
Differential brain-to-brain entrainment while speaking and listening in native and foreign languages
(cortex, 2019)The study explores interbrain neural coupling when interlocutors engage in a conversation whether it be in their native or nonnative language. To this end, electroencephalographic hyperscanning was used to study brain-to-brain ... -
Processing Sentences With Multiple Negations: Grammatical Structures That Are Perceived as Unacceptable
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2019)This investigation draws from research on negative polarity item (NPI) illusions in order to explore a new and interesting instance of misalignment observed for grammatical sentences containing two negative markers. Previous ... -
Not all errors are the same: ERP sensitivity to error typicality in foreign accented speech perception
(Cortex, 2019)Intercultural communication has become more and more frequent in the recent globalized society.When native listeners try to understand non-native speakers, they have to deal with different types of grammatical errors, ... -
The effect of speech rhythm and speaking rate on assessment of pronunciation in a second language
(Applied Psycholinguistics, 2019)The study explores the effect of deviations from native speech rhythm and rate norms on the assessement of pronunciation mastery of a second language (L2) when the native language of the learner is either rhythmically ... -
The Role of Native Language and the Fundamental Design of the Auditory System in Detecting Rhythm Changes
(Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing, 2019)Purpose: We investigated whether rhythm discrimination is mainly driven by the native language of the listener or by the fundamental design of the human auditory system and universal cognitive mechanisms shared by all ... -
Closing eyes during auditory memory retrieval modulates alpha rhythm but does not alter tau rhythm
(NeuroImage, 2019)The alpha power increase that occurs when the eyes are closed is one of the most well-known effects in human electrophysiology. In particular, previous psychological studies have investigated whether eye closure can boost ... -
Limbic-visual attenuation to crying faces underlies neglectful mothering
(Scientific Reports, 2019)Neglectful mothering is one of the most common forms of childhood maltreatment, involving a severe disregard of the child’s needs, yet little is known about its neural substrate. A child’s needs are usually conveyed by ... -
Regularity in speech rhythm as a social coalition signal
(Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2019)Regular rhythm facilitates audiomotor entrainment and synchronization in motor behavior and vocalizations between individuals. As rhythm entrainment between interacting agents is correlated with higher levels of ... -
Speech rhythm as naturally occurring and culturally transmitted behavioral patterns
(Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2019)Rhythm is fundamental to every motor activity. Neural and physiological mechanisms that underlie rhythmic cognition, in general, and rhythmic pattern generation, in particular, are evolutionarily ancient. As speech production ...
