COVID-19 first lockdown as a window into language acquisition: associations between caregiver-child activities and vocabulary gains
(2022)The COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting closure of daycare centers worldwide, led to unprecedented changes in children’s learning environments. This period of increased time at home with caregivers, with limited access ... -
Cross-language activation in bimodal bilinguals: Do mouthings affect the co-activation of speech during sign recognition?
(CAMBRIDGE, 2022)The present study provides insight into cross-language activation in hearing bimodal bilinguals by (1) examining co-activation of spoken words during processing of signs by hearing bimodal bilingual users of Dutch (their ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Cross-linguistic adaptations of The Comprehensive Aphasia Test: Challenges and solutions
(Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2017)Comparative research on aphasia and aphasia rehabilitation is challenged by the lack of comparable assessment tools across different languages. In English, a large array of tools is available, while in most other languages, ... -
Cross-Linguistic Differences in Bilinguals’ Fundamental Frequency Ranges
(Journal of Speech, Language and Hearing Research, 2017)Purpose We investigated cross-linguistic differences in fundamental frequency range (FFR) in Welsh-English bilingual speech. This is the first study that reports gender-specific behavior in switching FFRs across languages ... -
Cross-linguistic differences in the use of durational cues for the segmentation of a novel language
Ordin, Mikhail; Polyanskaya, Leona; Laka Mugarza, Itziar
; Nespor, Marina (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 ... -
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 ... -
Cross-linguistic semantic preview benefit in Basque-Spanish bilingual readers: Evidence from fixation-related potentials
(Brain and Language, 2021)During reading, we can process and integrate information from words allocated in the parafoveal region. However, whether we extract and process the meaning of parafoveal words is still under debate. Here, we obtained F ... -
Cross-linguistic transfer in bilingual reading is item specific
Lallier, Marie; Martin, Clara D.; Acha Morcillo, Joana; (Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2021)
The grain size of orthographic representations prompted by a consistent orthography (like Spanish or Basque) increases if reading is simultaneously learned in another language with an inconsistent orthography (like ... -
Cross-linguistic transfer in bilinguals reading in two alphabetic orthographies: The grain size accommodation hypothesis
(Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2018)Reading acquisition is one of the most complex and demanding learning processes faced by children in their first years of schooling. If reading acquisition is challenging in one language, how is it when reading is acquired ... -
Cross-modal and cross-language activation in bilinguals reveals lexical competition even when words or signs are unheard or unseen
(PNAS, 2022)We exploit the phenomenon of cross-modal, cross-language activation to examine the dynamics of language processing. Previous within-language work showed that seeing a sign coactivates phonologically related signs, just ... -
Cross-modal noise compensation in audiovisual words
(Scientific Reports, 2017)Perceiving linguistic input is vital for human functioning, but the process is complicated by the fact that the incoming signal is often degraded. However, humans can compensate for unimodal noise by relying on simultaneous ... -
Customized Application of tDCS for Clinical Rehabilitation in Alzheimer’s Disease
(frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021)Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive-behavior deficits, which strongly impact daily-life activities (Weintraub et al., 2012). Currently, the limited efficacy of pharmacological ... -
Data-science ready, multisite, human diffusion MRI whitematter- tract statistics
(Scientific Data, 2020)The white matter tracts in the living human brain are critical for healthy function, and the diffusion MRI measured in these tracts is correlated with diverse behavioral measures. The technical skills required to analyze ... -
Deaf readers benefit from lexical feedback during orthographic processing
(Scientific Reports, 2019)It has been proposed that poor reading abilities in deaf readers might be related to weak connections between the orthographic and lexical-semantic levels of processing. Here we used event related potentials (ERPs), known ... -
Decoding and encoding models reveal the role of mental simulation in the brain representation of meaning
Soto, David; Sheikh, Usman Ayub; Mei, Ning; Santana Hermida, Roberto (Royal Society Open Science, 2020)
How the brain representation of conceptual knowledge varies as a function of processing goals, strategies and task-factors remains a key unresolved question in cognitive neuroscience. In the present functional magnetic ... -
Decoding fMRI Events in Sensorimotor Motor Network Using Sparse Paradigm Free Mapping and Activation Likelihood Estimates
(Human Brain Mapping, 2017)Most functional MRI (fMRI) studies map task-driven brain activity using a block or event-related paradigm. Sparse paradigm free mapping (SPFM) can detect the onset and spatial distribution of BOLD events in the brain without ... -
Decoding motor expertise from fine-tuned oscillatory network organization
(WILEY, 2022)Can motor expertise be robustly predicted by the organization of frequency-specific oscillatory brain networks? To answer this question, we recorded high-density electroencephalography (EEG) in expert Tango dancers and ... -
Decoding numeracy and literacy in the human brain: insights from MEG and MVPA
(NATURE, 2023)Numbers and letters are the fundamental building blocks of our everyday social interactions. Previous studies have focused on determining the cortical pathways shaped by numeracy and literacy in the human brain, partially ...
