The human connectome project for disordered emotional states: Protocol and rationale for a research domain criteria study of brain connectivity in young adult anxiety and depression
(NeuroImage, 2020)Through the Human Connectome Project (HCP) our understanding of the functional connectome of the healthy brain has been dramatically accelerated. Given the pressing public health need, we must increase our understanding ... -
Capturing Cross-linguistic Differences in Macro-rhythm: The Case of Italian and English
(Language and Speech, 2020)We tested the hypothesis that languages can be classified by their degree of tonal rhythm (Jun, 2014). The tonal rhythms of English and Italian were quantified using the following parameters: (a) regularity of tonal ... -
Making It Harder to “See” Meaning: The More You See Something, the More Its Conceptual Representation Is Susceptible to Visual Interference
(Psychological Science, 2020)Does the perceptual system for looking at the world overlap with the conceptual system for thinking about it? We conducted two experiments (N = 403) to investigate this question. Experiment 1 showed that when people ... -
Fluidity in the perception of auditory speech: Cross-modal recalibration of voice gender and vowel identity by a talking face
(Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2020)Humans quickly adapt to variations in the speech signal. Adaptation may surface as recalibration, a learning effect driven by error-minimisation between a visual face and an ambiguous auditory speech signal, or as selective ... -
Combining Gamma With Alpha and Beta Power Modulation for Enhanced Cortical Mapping in Patients With Focal Epilepsy
(Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2020)About one third of patients with epilepsy have seizures refractory to the medical treatment. Electrical stimulation mapping (ESM) is the gold standard for the identification of “eloquent” areas prior to resection of ... -
Neglectful maternal caregiving involves altered brain volume in empathy-related areas
(Development and Psychopathology, 2020)The maternal brain undergoes adaptations to sensitive caregiving that are critical for infant well-being.We investigated structural alterations associated with neglectful caregiving and their effects on mother–child ... -
The late positive potential (LPP): A neural marker of internalizing problems in early childhood
(International Journal of Psychophysiology, 2020)Background: One potentially relevant neurophysiological marker of internalizing problems (anxiety/depressive symptoms) is the late positive potential (LPP), as it is related to processing of emotional stimuli. For the ... -
Changes in the Sensitivity to Language-Specific Orthographic Patterns With Age
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2020)How do bilingual readers of languages that have similar scripts identify a language switch? Recent behavioral and electroencephalographic results suggest that they rely on orthotactic cues to recognize the language of ... -
Integrating statistical learning into cognitive science
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2020)Over the last two decades statistical learning (SL) has evolved into a key explanatory mechanism underlying the incidental learning of regularities across different domains of cognition, such as language, visual and ... -
Lexical Information Guides Retuning of Neural Patterns in Perceptual Learning for Speech
(Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2020)A listener's interpretation of a given speech sound can vary probabilistically from moment to moment. Previous experience (i.e., the contexts in which one has encountered an ambiguous sound) can further influence the ... -
Speaker matters: Natural inter-speaker variation affects 4-month-olds’ perception of audio-visual speech
(First Language, 2020)In the language development literature, studies often make inferences about infants’ speech perception abilities based on their responses to a single speaker. However, there can be significant natural variability across ... -
The effects of language and emotionality of stimuli on vocabulary learning
(PLOS ONE, 2020)Learning new content and vocabulary in a foreign language can be particularly difficult. Yet, there are educational programs that require people to study in a language they are not native speakers of. For this reason, ... -
The neurocognitive underpinnings of the Simon effect: An integrative review of current research
(Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2020)For as long as half a century the Simon task – in which participants respond to a nonspatial stimulus feature while ignoring its position – has represented a very popular tool to study a variety of cognitive functions, ... -
The effects of contextual diversity on incidental vocabulary learning in the native and a foreign language
(Scientific Reports, 2020)Vocabulary learning occurs throughout the lifespan, often implicitly. For foreign language learners, this is particularly challenging as they must acquire a large number of new words with little exposure. In the present ... -
The effect of orthography on the recognition of pronunciation variants
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020)In conversational speech, it is very common for words’ segments to be reduced or deleted. However, previous research has consistently shown that during spoken word recognition, listeners prefer words’ canonical pronunciation ... -
Examining Bilingual Language Switching Across the Lifespan in Cued and Voluntary Switching Contexts
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2020)How bilinguals control their languages and switch between them may change across the life span. Furthermore, bilingual language control may depend on the demands imposed by the context. Across 2 experiments, we examined ... -
Is Small Still Beautiful for the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire? Novel Findings Using Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling
(ASSESSMENT, 2020)During the present decade a large body of research has employed confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to evaluate the factor structure of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) across multiple languages and ... -
“Words and emotions in sentence context”: a commentary on Hinojosa, Moreno and Ferré (2019)
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2020)... -
Sensorimotor Mapping With MEG: An Update on the Current State of Clinical Research and Practice With Considerations for Clinical Practice Guidelines
(Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2020)In this article, we present the clinical indications and advances in the use of magnetoencephalography to map the primary sensorimotor (SM1) cortex in neurosurgical patients noninvasively. We emphasize the advantages ... -
Finding identity in the midst of ambiguity: case and number disambiguation in Basque
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2020)Restrictive contextual information has been found to bias syntactic disambiguation, when only one alternative leads to a meaningful interpretation. The current study tests whether disambiguation can be influenced by ...
