The impact of bilingualism on executive functions and working memory in young adults
(PLOS ONE, 2019)A bilingual advantage in a form of a better performance of bilinguals in tasks tapping into executive function abilities has been reported repeatedly in the literature. However, recent research defends that this advantage ... -
Attentional Fluctuations, Cognitive Flexibility, and Bilingualism in Kindergarteners
(Behavioral Sciences, 2019)The idea of a bilingual advantage in aspects of cognitive control—including cognitive flexibility, inhibition, working memory, and attention—is disputed. Using a sample of kindergarten children, the present study investigated ... -
Does the visual attention span play a role in the morphological processing of orthographic stimuli?
Antzaka, Alexia; Acha Morcillo, Joana
; ; Lallier, Marie (Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2019)
We investigated whether the link between visual attention (VA) span and reading is modulated by the presence of morphemes. Second and fourth grade children, with Basque as their first language, named morphologically complex ... -
Language modality shapes the dynamics of word and sign recognition
(Cognition, 2019)Spoken words and signs both consist of structured sub-lexical units. While phonemes unfold in time in the case of the spoken signal, visual sub-lexical units such as location and handshape are produced simultaneously in ... -
Functional plasticity associated with language learning in adults
(NeuroImage, 2019)Learning a new language in adulthood is increasingly common and among the most difficult tasks attempted by adults. Adult language learners thus offer an excellent window into the nature of learning-dependent plasticity. ... -
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 ... -
Acceptance of lexical overlap by monolingual and bilingual toddlers
(International Journal of Bilingualism, 2019)Aims and Objectives: Mutual exclusivity refers to children’s assumption that there are oneto-one correspondences between words and their referents. It is proposed to guide the process of fast-mapping when children encounter ... -
Sensitivity to amplitude envelope rise time in infancy and vocabulary development at 3 years: A significant relationship
(Developmental Science, 2019)Here we report, for the first time, a relationship between sensitivity to amplitude envelope rise time in infants and their later vocabulary development. Recent research in auditory neuroscience has revealed that amplitude ... -
Delayed development of phonological constancy in toddlers at family risk for dyslexia
(Infant Behavior and Development, 2019)Phonological constancy refers to infants’ ability to disregard variations in the phonetic realisation of speech sounds that do not indicate lexical contrast, e.g., when listening to accented speech. In typically-developing ... -
Integrating Bilingualism, Verbal Fluency, and Executive Functioning across the Lifespan
(Journal of Cognition and Development, 2019)Bilingual experience has an impact on an individual’s linguistic processing and general cognitive abilities. The relation between these linguistic and non-linguistic domains, in turn, is mediated by individual linguistic ... -
Agito ergo sum: Correlates of spatio-temporal motion characteristics during fMRI
(NeuroImage, 2020)The impact of in-scanner motion on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data has a notorious reputation in the neuroimaging community. State-of-the-art guidelines advise to scrub out excessively corrupted frames ... -
Lip-Reading Enables the Brain to Synthesize Auditory Features of Unknown Silent Speech
(The Journal of Neuroscience, 2020)Lip-reading is crucial for understanding speech in challenging conditions. But how the brain extracts meaning from, silent, visual speech is still under debate. Lip-reading in silence activates the auditory cortices, but ... -
Lexical access versus lexical decision processes for auditory, visual, and audiovisual items: Insights from behavioral and neural measures
(Neuropsychologia, 2020)In two experiments, we investigated the relationship between lexical access processes, and processes that are specifically related to making lexical decisions. In Experiment 1, participants performed a standard lexical ... -
Comparing MEG and high-density EEG for intrinsic functional connectivity mapping
(NeuroImage, 2020)Magnetoencephalography (MEG) has been used in conjunction with resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) based on band-limited power envelope correlation to study the intrinsic human brain network organization into ... -
Metacognitive Processing in Language Learning Tasks Is Affected by Bilingualism
Ordin, Mikhail; Polyanskaya, Leona; Soto, David (Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020)
We assessed the effect of bilingualism on metacognitive processing in the artificial language learning task, in 2 experiments varying in the difficulty to segment the language. Following a study phase in which participants ... -
Electrophysiology of statistical learning: Exploring the online learning process and offline learning product
Ordin, Mikhail; Polyanskaya, Leona; Soto, David; Molinaro, Nicola (European Journal of Neuroscience, 2020)
A continuous stream of syllables is segmented into discrete constituents based on the transitional probabilities (TPs) between adjacent syllables by means of statistical learning. However, we still do not know whether ... -
Who are you talking to? The role of addressee identity in utterance comprehension
(Psychophysiology, 2020)Experimental evidence suggests that speaker and addressee quickly adapt to each other from the earliest moments of sentence processing, and that interlocutor-related information is rapidly integrated with other sources ... -
Frequency-Dependent Intrinsic Electrophysiological Functional Architecture of the Human Verbal Language Network
(Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2020)Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) allowed the spatial characterization of the resting-state verbal language network (vLN). While other resting-state networks (RSNs) were matched with their electrophysiological ... -

Understanding how people rate their confidence is critical for the characterization of a wide range of perceptual, memory, motor and cognitive processes. To enable the continued exploration of these processes, we created ... -
Sleep State Modulates Resting-State Functional Connectivity in Neonates
(Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020)The spontaneous cerebral activity that gives rise to resting-state networks (RSNs) has been extensively studied in infants in recent years. However, the influence of sleep state on the presence of observable RSNs has yet ...
