Altered cross-frequency coupling in resting-state MEG after mild traumatic brain injury
(International Journal of Psychophysiology, 2016)Cross-frequency coupling (CFC) is thought to represent a basic mechanism of functional integration of neural networks across distant brain regions. In this study, we analyzed CFC profiles from resting state Magnetoencephalographic ... -
Putting concepts into context
(Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2016)At first glance, conceptual representations (e.g., our internal notion of the object Blemon^) seem static; we have the impression that there is something that the concept lemon Bmeans^ (a sour, yellow, football-shaped ... -
The Emotional Impact of Being Myself: Emotions and Foreign-Language Processing
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016)Native languages are acquired in emotionally rich contexts, whereas foreign languages are typically acquired in emotionally neutral academic environments. As a consequence of this difference, it has been suggested that ... -
Do handwritten words magnify lexical effects in visual word recognition?
(The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2016)An examination of how the word recognition system is able to process handwritten words is fundamental to formulate a comprehensive model of visual word recognition. Previous research has revealed that the magnitude of ... -
LSE-Sign: A lexical database for Spanish Sign Language
(Behavior Research Methods, 2016)The LSE-Sign database is a free online tool for selecting Spanish Sign Language stimulus materials to be used in experiments. It contains 2,400 individual signs taken from a recent standardized LSE dictionary, and a ... -
Emergent Bilingualism and Working Memory Development in School Aged Children
(Language Learning, 2016)The present research explores working memory (WM) development in monolingual as well as emergent bilingual children immersed in an L2 at school. Evidence from recent years suggests that bilingualism may boost domain-general ... -
The neuroanatomy of bilingualism: how to turn a hazy view into the full picture
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)The neuroanatomical bases of bilingualism have recently received intensive attention. However, it is still a matter of debate how the brain structure changes due to bilingual experience since current findings are highly ... -
Cross-Language Modulation of Visual Attention Span: An Arabic-French-Spanish Comparison in Skilled Adult Readers
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)In delineating the amount of orthographic information that can be processed in parallel during a single fixation, the visual attention (VA) span acts as a key component of the reading system. Previous studies focused on ... -
The proactive bilingual brain: Using interlocutor identity to generate predictions for language processing
(Scientific Reports, 2016)The present study investigated the proactive nature of the human brain in language perception. Specifically, we examined whether early proficient bilinguals can use interlocutor identity as a cue for language prediction, ... -
Do Diacritical Marks Play a Role at the Early Stages of Word Recognition in Arabic?
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)A crucial question in the domain of visual word recognition is whether letter similarity plays a role in the early stages of visual word processing. Here we focused on Arabic because in this language there are various ... -
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 ... -
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
Lallier, Marie; Acha Morcillo, Joana
; (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 ... -
“Hazy” or “jumbled”? Putting together the pieces of the bilingual puzzle
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)Six commentaries [Bialystok, E. (2015). How hazy views become full pictures. Language, Cognition and Neuroscience. doi:10.1080/23273798.2015.1074255; de Bruin, A., & Della Sala, S. (2015) The importance of language use ... -
When “He” Can Also Be “She”: An ERP Study of Reflexive Pronoun Resolution in Written Mandarin Chinese
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)The gender information in written Chinese third person pronouns is not symmetrically encoded: the character for “he” (yes, with semantic radical yes, meaning human) is used as a default referring to every individual, while ... -
Listening to Accented Speech in a Second Language: First Language and Age of Acquisition Effects
Larraza Arnanz, Saioa; Samuel, Arthur G.; Oñederra Olaizola, Miren Lourdes (Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016)
Bilingual speakers must acquire the phonemic inventory of 2 languages and need to recognize spoken words cross-linguistically; a demanding job potentially made even more difficult due to dialectal variation, an intrinsic ...
