Third-language learning affects bilinguals’ production in both their native languages: A longitudinal study of dynamic changes in L1, L2 and L3 vowel production
(Journal of Phonetics, 2019)This study examined the impact of a study abroad (SA) English program on English and native vowel production. Basque-Spanish bilingual adolescents were assessed on their vowel production in English, Basque and Spanish ... -
Time-Resolved Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Analysis: Current Status, Challenges, and New Directions
(Brain Connectivity, 2017)Time-resolved analysis of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data allows researchers to extract more information about brain function than traditional functional connectivity analysis, yet a ... -
Toddler-directed and adult-directed gesture frequency in monolingual and bilingual caregivers
(SAGE, 2023)Aims and objectives: This study was designed to assess whether bilingual caregivers, compared with monolingual caregivers, modify their nonverbal gestures to match the increased communicative and/or cognitive-linguistic ... -
Top-down beta oscillatory signaling conveys behavioral context in early visual cortex.
(Scientific Reports, 2018)Top-down modulation of sensory processing is a critical neural mechanism subserving numerous important cognitive roles, one of which may be to inform lower-order sensory systems of the current ‘task at hand’ by conveying ... -
Towards a theory of individual differences in statistical learning
(Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society: Biological Sciences, 2017)In recent years, statistical learning (SL) research has seen a growing interest in tracking individual performance in SL tasks, mainly as a predictor of linguistic abilities. We review studies from this line of research ... -
Tracing the interplay between syntactic and lexical features: fMRI evidence from agreement comprehension
(NeuroImage, 2018)The current fMRI study was designed to investigate whether the processing of different gender-related cues embedded in nouns affects the computation of agreement dependencies and, if so, where this possible interaction ... -
Tracking second language immersion across time: Evidence from a bi-directional longitudinal cross-linguistic fMRI study
(Elsevier, 2021)Parallel cohorts of Hebrew speakers learning English in the U.S., and American-English speakers learning Hebrew in Israel were tracked over the course of two years of immersion in their L2. We utilised a functional MRI ... -
Tracking the time course of letter visual-similarity effects during word recognition: A masked priming ERP investigation
(Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2019)Visual similarity effects during the early stages of word processing have been consistently found for letter-like digits and symbols. However, despite its relevance for models of word recognition, evidence for letter ... -
Trauma-Related Distress During the COVID-19 Pandemic In 59 Countries
(SAGE, 2022)The COVID-19 pandemic has upended life like few other events in modern history, with differential impacts on varying population groups. This study examined trauma-related distress among 6,882 adults ages 18 to 94 years old ... -
Typing expertise in a large student population
(SPRINGER, 2022)Typing has become a pervasive mode of language production worldwide, with keyboards fully integrated in a large part of many daily activities. The bulk of the literature on typing expertise concerns highly trained professional ... -
Typological Differences Influence the Bilingual Advantage in Metacognitive Processing
(APA American Psychological Association, 2022)Previous studies showed a bilingual advantage in metacognitive processing (tracking one’s own cognitive performance) in linguistic tasks. However, bilinguals do not constitute a homogeneous population, and it was unclear ... -
Unconscious Manipulation of Conceptual Representations with Decoded Neurofeedback Impacts Search Behavior
(Jneurosci, 2024)The necessity of conscious awareness in human learning has been a long-standing topic in psychology and neuroscience. Previous research on non-conscious associative learning is limited by the low signal-to-noise ratio of ... -
Using Kinect to classify Parkinson’s disease stages related to severity of gait impairment
(2018)Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease associated with motor problems such as gait impairment. Different systems based on 3D cameras, accelerometers or gyroscopes have been used in related works ... -
Using serial dependence to predict confidence across observers and cognitive domains
(SPRINGER, 2023)Our perceptual system appears hardwired to exploit regularities of input features across space and time in seemingly stable environments. This can lead to serial dependence effects whereby recent perceptual representations ... -
Using TMS to evaluate a causal role for right posterior temporal cortex in talker-specific phonetic processing
(ELSEVIER, 2023)Theories suggest that speech perception is informed by listeners’ beliefs of what phonetic variation is typical of a talker. A previous fMRI study found right middle temporal gyrus (RMTG) sensitivity to whether a phonetic ... -
Verbal production dynamics and plasticity: functional contributions of language and executive control systems
(OXFORD, 2023)Bilingual language production requires both language knowledge and language control in order to communicate in a target language. Learning or improving a language in adulthood is an increasingly common undertaking, and ... -
Virtual Reality pitch ranking in children with cochlear implants, hearing aids or normal hearing
(ELSEVIER, 2022)When listening to music, one uses the hearing to identify all musical elements such as pitches, musical intervals, melodies, chords, rhythms, and timbre [1]. To determine the notes in a melody, it is critical to have the ... -
Voice onset time and vowel formant measures in online testing and laboratory-based testing with(out) surgical face masks
(ASA, 2023)Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, conducting experiments online is increasingly common, and face masks are often used in everyday life. It remains unclear whether phonetic detail in speech production is captured adequately ... -
Voices in the mental lexicon: Words carry indexical information that can affect access to their meaning
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2019)The speech signal carries both linguistic and non-linguistic information (e.g., a talker’s voice qualities; referred to as indexical information). There is evidence that indexical information can affect some aspects of ... -
Voluntary Language Switching in the Context of Bilingual Aphasia
(behavioral sciences, 2020)As studies of bilingual language control (BLC) seek to explore the underpinnings of bilinguals’ abilities to juggle two languages, di erent types of language switching tasks have been used to uncover switching and mixing ...
