Functional Dynamics of Dorsal and Ventral Reading Networks in Bilinguals
(Cerebral Cortex, 2017)In today’s world, bilingualism is increasingly common. However, it is still unclear how left-lateralized dorsal and ventral reading networks are tuned to reading in proficient second-language learners. Here, we investigated ... -
Functional Inhibitory Control Dynamics in Impulse Control Disorders in Parkinson’s Disease
(Movement Disorders, 2020)ABSTRACT: Background: Impulse control disorders related to alterations in the mesocorticolimbic dopamine network occur in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Our objective was to investigate the functional neural substrates ... -
Functional plasticity associated with language learning in adults
(NeuroImage, 2019)Learning a new language in adulthood is increasingly common and among the most difficult tasks attempted by adults. Adult language learners thus offer an excellent window into the nature of learning-dependent plasticity. ... -
Generalization From Newly Learned Words Reveals Structural Properties of the Human Reading System
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2017)Connectionist accounts of quasiregular domains, such as spelling–sound correspondences in English, represent exception words (e.g., pint) amid regular words (e.g., mint) via a graded “warping” mechanism. Warping allows ... -
Genetic association study of dyslexia and ADHD candidate genes in a Spanish cohort: Implications of comorbid samples
(PLOS ONE, 2018)Dyslexia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are two complex neuro-behaviorally disorders that co-occur more often than expected, so that reading disability has been linked to inattention symptoms. We ... -
“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 ... -
Heritability and reliability of automatically segmented human hippocampal formation subregions
(NeuroImage, 2016)The human hippocampal formation can be divided into a set of cytoarchitecturally and functionally distinct subregions, involved in different aspects of memory formation. Neuroanatomical disruptions within these subregions ... -
Hierarchical levels of representation in language prediction: The influence of first language acquisition in highly proficient bilinguals
(Cognition, 2017)Language comprehension is largely supported by predictive mechanisms that account for the ease and speed with which communication unfolds. Both native and proficient non-native speakers can efficiently handle contextual ... -
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 ... -
Holiday or vacation? The processing of variation in vocabulary across dialects
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)Native speakers with different linguistic backgrounds differ in their usage of language, and particularly in their vocabulary. For instance, British natives would use the word "holiday" when American natives would prefer ... -
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 ... -
How and When Does the Second Language Influence the Production of Native Speech Sounds: A Literature Review
(Language Learning, 2016)In bilinguals and second language learners, the native (L1) and nonnative (L2) languages coexist and interact. The L1 influences L2 production via forward transfer, as is seen with foreign accents. However, language ... -
How are visual words represented? Insights from EEG-based visual word decoding, feature derivation and image reconstruction
(Human Brain Mapping, 2019)Investigations into the neural basis of reading have shed light on the cortical locus and the functional role of visual-orthographic processing. Yet, the fine-grained structure of neural representations subserving reading ... -
How do bilinguals switch between languages in different interactional contexts? A comparison between voluntary and mandatory language switching
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2020)How bilinguals switch between languages depends on the context. In a voluntary context, bilinguals are free to decide when to switch, whereas in a cued context they are instructed when to switch. While using two languages ... -
How do Spanish speakers read words? Insights from a crowdsourced lexical decision megastudy
(Behavior Research Methods, 2020)Vocabulary size seems to be affected by multiple factors, including those that belong to the properties of the words themselves and those that relate to the characteristics of the individuals assessing the words. In this ... -
How Do We Keep Information ‘Online’?
(Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2017)New magnetoencephalography (MEG) results indicate that a putative marker of conscious processes – namely, the global broadcasting of information across large-scale cortical networks – can also operate during the maintenance ... -
How much do visual cues help listeners in perceiving accented speech?
(Applied Psycholinguistics, 2019)It has been documented that lipreading facilitates the understanding of difficult speech, such as noisy speech and time-compressed speech. However, relatively little work has addressed the role of visual information in ... -
How the human brain introspects about one's own episodes of cognitive control
(cortex, 2018)Metacognition refers to our capacity to reflect upon our experiences, thoughts and actions. Metacognition processes are linked to cognitive control functions that allow keeping our actions on-task. But it is unclear how ... -
Imageability ratings across languages
(Behavior Research Methods, 2018)Imageability is a psycholinguistic variable that indicates how well a word gives rise to a mental image or sensory experience. Imageability ratings are used extensively in psycholinguistic, neuropsychological, and ... -
