When the “Tabula” is Anything but “Rasa:” What Determines Performance in the Auditory Statistical Learning Task?
(WILEY, 2022)How does prior linguistic knowledge modulate learning in verbal auditory statistical learning (SL) tasks? Here, we address this question by assessing to what extent the frequency of syllabic co-occurrences in the learners’ ... -
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 ... -
Where do dialectal effects on speech processing come from? Evidence from a cross-dialect investigation
Larraza Arnanz, Saioa
; ; Oñederra Olaizola, Miren Lourdes (The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2017)
Accented speech has been seen as an additional impediment for speech processing; it usually adds linguistic and cognitive load to the listener's task. In the current study we analyse where the processing costs of regional ... -
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 ... -
White matter microstructure of attentional networks predicts attention and consciousness functional interactions
(Brain Structure and Function, 2018)Attention is considered as one of the pre-requisites of conscious perception. Phasic alerting and exogenous orienting improve conscious perception of near-threshold information through segregated brain networks. Using a ... -
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 ... -
Whole‑genome sequencing identifies functional noncoding variation in SEMA3C that cosegregates with dyslexia in a multigenerational family
(Human Genetics, 2021)Dyslexia is a common heritable developmental disorder involving impaired reading abilities. Its genetic underpinnings are thought to be complex and heterogeneous, involving common and rare genetic variation. Multigenerational ... -
Why space is not one-dimensional: Location may be categorical and imagistic
(Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2017)In our commentary, we raise concerns with the idea that location should be considered a gestural component of sign languages. We argue that psycholinguistic studies provide evidence for location as a “categorical” element ... -
Widening agreement processing: a matter of time, features and distance
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2018)Existing psycholinguistic models typically describe agreement relations as monolithic phenomena amounting to mechanisms that check mere feature consistency. This eye-tracking study aimed at widening this perspective by ... -
Word and object recognition during reading acquisition: MEGevidence
(Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2017)Studies on adults suggest that reading-induced brain changes might not be limited to linguistic processes. It is still unclear whether these results can be generalized to reading development. The present study shows to ... -
Word frequency and reading demands modulate brain activation in the inferior frontal gyrus
(NATURE, 2023)Processing efficiency differs between high- and low-frequency words, with less frequent words resulting in longer response latencies in several linguistic behavioral tasks. Nevertheless, studies using functional MRI to ... -
“Words and emotions in sentence context”: a commentary on Hinojosa, Moreno and Ferré (2019)
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2020)... -
Working Memory Deficits After Lesions Involving the Supplementary Motor Area.
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2018)The Supplementary Motor Area (SMA)—located in the superior and medial aspects of the superior frontal gyrus—is a preferential site of certain brain tumors and arteriovenous malformations, which often provoke the so-called ... -
World knowledge and novel information integration during L2 speech comprehension
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2017)In this study we explore whether world knowledge (WK) processing differs between individuals listening to their native (L1) or their non-native (L2) language. We recorded event-related brain potentials in L1 and L2 speakers ... -
World knowledge integration during second language comprehension
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)In order to study the difficulties experienced during sentence comprehension in a foreign language (L2), we investigated semantic and world knowledge information retrieval in L2 comprehenders. Event-related potentials ... -
Written sentence context effects on acoustic-phonetic perception: fMRI reveals cross-modal semantic-perceptual interactions
(Brain and Language, 2019)This study examines cross-modality effects of a semantically-biased written sentence context on the perception of an acoustically-ambiguous word target identifying neural areas sensitive to interactions between sentential ... -
Yesterday Is History, Tomorrow Is a Mystery: An Eye-Tracking Investigation of the Processing of Past and Future Time Reference During Sentence Reading
(APA American Psychological Association, 2022)The ability to think about nonpresent time is a crucial aspect of human cognition. Both the past and future imply a temporal displacement of an event outside the “now.” They also intrinsically differ: The past refers to ... -
Zooming in on zooming out: Partial selectivity and dynamic tuning of bilingual language control during reading
(Cognition, 2020)Prominent models of bilingual visual word recognition posit a bottom-up nonselective view of lexical processing with parallel access to lexical candidates of both languages. However, these accounts do not accommodate recent ...
