Do alternating-color words facilitate reading aloud text in Chinese? Evidence with developing and adult readers
(Memory & Cognition, 2017)Prior research has shown that colors induce perceptual grouping and, hence, colors can be used as word dividers during reading (Pinna & Deiana, 2014). This issue is particularly important for those writing systems that do ... -
Neural correlates of correct and failed response inhibition in heavy versus light social drinkers: an fMRI study during a go/no-go task by healthy participants
(Brain Imaging and Behavior, 2017)The ability to suppress responses that are inappropriate, as well as the mechanisms monitoring the accuracy of actions in order to compensate for errors, is central to human behavior. Neural alterations that prevent stopping ... -
Representation and processing of multi-word expressions in the brain
(Brain and Language, 2017)Language comprehension is sensitive to the predictability of the upcoming information. Prediction allows for smooth, expedient and successful communication. While general discourse-based constraints have been investigated ... -
Cross-linguistic differences in the use of durational cues for the segmentation of a novel language
(Memory & Cognition, 2017)It is widely accepted that duration can be exploited as phonological phrase final lengthening in the segmentation of a novel language, i.e., in extracting discrete constituents from continuous speech. The use of final ... -
The ERP signature of the contextual diversity effect in visual word recognition
(Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2017)Behavioral experiments have revealed that words appearing in many different contexts are responded to faster than words that appear in few contexts. Although this contextual diversity (CD) effect has been found to be ... -
The Development of Spontaneous Sound-Shape Matching in Monolingual and Bilingual Infants During the First Year
(Developmental Psychology, 2017)Recently it has been proposed that sensitivity to nonarbitrary relationships between speech sounds and objects potentially bootstraps lexical acquisition. However, it is currently unclear whether preverbal infants (e.g., ... -
Location of navigation menus in websites: an experimental study with Arabic users
(Universal Access in the Information Society, 2017)While Arabic users represent by far the fastest growing language population on the Internet, research about how the peculiarities of Arabic language may shape users’ web interactions is still scarce. The preferences of ... -
Flexible and adaptive processes in speech perception
(The Speech Processing Lexicon, 2017)The perception of speech can be flexible, influenced by multiple sources of information, and plastic, tuned over time to cumulative experience. This chapter provides examples of cognitive neuroscience research, presented ... -
The relation between working memory and language comprehension in signers and speakers
(Acta Psychologica, 2017)This study investigated the relation between linguistic and spatial working memory (WM) resources and language comprehension for signed compared to spoken language. Sign languages are both linguistic and visualspatial, and ... -
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 ... -
Evidence for a bimodal bilingual disadvantage in letter fluency
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2017)Many bimodal bilinguals are immersed in a spoken language-dominant environment from an early age and, unlike unimodal bilinguals, do not necessarily divide their language use between languages. Nonetheless, early ASL–English ... -
Afasiaren azterketa hizkuntza ezberdinetan neurozientzia kognitiboaren ikuspegitik (Aphasia research in different languages from the perspective of cognitive neuroscience)
(EKAIA Euskal Herriko Unibertsitateko Zientzi eta Teknologi Aldizkaria, 2017)The goal of this paper is to define aphasia and aphasiology from the perspective of cognitive neuroscience. In addition, it emphasizes the need to study aphasia in different languages for a better understanding of brain ... -
How ageing changes the mnemonic bias of visual behaviour
(Visual Cognition, 2017)Ageing is associated with deficits in cognitive control, including attention and working memory processes. However, how ageing influences the interactions between these cognitive systems is not well understood. The present ... -
Retrospective Head Motion Estimation in Structural Brain MRI with 3D CNNs
(Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention − MICCAI 2017. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2017)Head motion is one of the most important nuisance variables in neuroimaging, particularly in studies of clinical or special populations, such as children. However, the possibility of estimating motion in structural MRI is ... -
Inhibitory Control for Emotional and Neutral Scenes in Competition: An Eye-Tracking Study in Bipolar Disorder
(Biological Psychology, 2017)This study examined the inhibitory control of attention to social scenes in manic, depressive, and euthymic episodes of bipolar disorder (BD). Two scenes were simultaneously presented (happy/threatening/neutral [target] ... -
Methods for cleaning the BOLD fMRI signal
(NeuroImage, 2017)Blood oxygen-level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD fMRI) has rapidly become a popular technique for the investigation of brain function in healthy individuals, patients as well as in animal studies. ... -
High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging reveals nuclei of the human amygdala: manual segmentation to automatic atlas
(NeuroImage, 2017)The amygdala is composed of multiple nuclei with unique functions and connections in the limbic system and to the rest of the brain. However, standard in vivo neuroimaging tools to automatically delineate the amygdala into ... -
Improved memory for information learnt before alcohol use in social drinkers tested in a naturalistic setting
(Scientific Reports, 2017)Alcohol is known to facilitate memory if given after learning information in the laboratory; we aimed to investigate whether this effect can be found when alcohol is consumed in a naturalistic setting. Eighty-eight social ... -
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 ... -
Interactions between native and non-native vowels in French-Danish contact: production training study
(Romance-Germanic Bilingual Phonology. Equinox eBooks Publishing, United Kingdom., 2017)Speakers who acquire a foreign language (L2) in adulthood (and even earlier), often experience major difficulties in producing non-native speech sounds, a phenomenon commonly known as having a foreign accent. These ...
