Development of EEG alpha and theta oscillations in the maintenance stage of working memory
(ELSEVIER, 2024)Several studies have shown developmental changes in EEG oscillations during working memory tasks. Although the load-modulated theta and alpha activities in adults are well-documented, the findings are inconsistent if ... -
Development of neural oscillatory activity in response to speech in children from 4 to 6 years old
(Developmental Science, 2020)Recent neurophysiological theories propose that the cerebral hemispheres collaborate to resolve the complex temporal nature of speech, such that left-hemisphere (or bilateral) gamma-band oscillatory activity would ... -
Development of the visual white matter pathways mediates development of electrophysiological responses in visual cortex
(Human Brain Mapping, 2021)The latency of neural responses in the visual cortex changes systematically across the lifespan. Here, we test the hypothesis that development of visual white matter pathways mediates maturational changes in the latency ... -
Developmental changes associated with cross-language similarity in bilingual children
(Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 2016)The main goal of the present study was to investigate how the degree of orthographic overlap between translation equivalents influences bilingual word recognition processes at different stages of reading development. ... -
Developmental changes in individual alpha frequency: Recording EEG data during public engagement events
(MIT PRESS, 2023)Statistical power in cognitive neuroimaging experiments is often very low. Low sample size can reduce the likelihood of detecting real effects (false negatives) and increase the risk of detecting non-existing effects by ... -
Developmental Differences across Middle Childhood in Memory and Suggestibility for Negative and Positive Events
(Behavioral Sciences and the Law, 2016)In the present study, we investigated age differences in children's eyewitness memory and suggestibility for negative and positive events that children often experience during middle childhood. We first examined 216 ratings ... -
Déjà-lu: When Orthographic Representations are Generated in the Absence of Orthography
(UBIQUITY PRESS, 2023)When acquiring novel spoken words, English-speaking children generate preliminary orthographic representations even before seeing the words’ spellings (Wegener et al., 2018). Interestingly, these orthographic skeletons are ... -
Differences in word learning in children: Bilingualism or linguistic experience?
(Applied Psycholinguistics, 2021)The current study examines how monolingual children and bilingual children with languages that are orthotactically similar and dissimilar learn novel words depending on their characteristics. We contrasted word learning ... -
Different electrophysiological signatures of similarity-induced and Stroop-like interference in language production
(MIT PRESS, 2023)Contextual similarity between targets and competitors, whether semantic or phonological, often leads to behavioral interference in language production. It has been assumed that resolving such interference relies on control ... -
Differential brain-to-brain entrainment while speaking and listening in native and foreign languages
(cortex, 2019)The study explores interbrain neural coupling when interlocutors engage in a conversation whether it be in their native or nonnative language. To this end, electroencephalographic hyperscanning was used to study brain-to-brain ... -
Directional asymmetries reveal a universal bias in adult vowel perception
(The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017)Research on cross-language vowel perception in both infants and adults has shown that for many vowel contrasts, discrimination is easier when the same pair of vowels is presented in one direction compared to the reverse ... -
Discourse Expectations Are Sensitive to the Question Under Discussion: Evidence From ERPs
(Discourse Processes, 2020)Questions under Discussion (QUDs) have been suggested to influence the integration of individual utterances into a discourse-level representation. Previous work has shown that processing ungrammatical ellipses is facilitated ... -
Discovery of 42 genome-wide significant loci associated with dyslexia
(SPRINGER NATURE, 2022)Reading and writing are crucial life skills but roughly one in ten children are affected by dyslexia, which can persist into adulthood. Family studies of dyslexia suggest heritability up to 70%, yet few convincing genetic ... -
Disentangling meaning in the brain: Left temporal involvement in agreement processing
(Cortex, 2017)Sentence comprehension is successfully accomplished by means of a form-to-meaning mapping procedure that relies on the extraction of morphosyntactic information from the input and its mapping to higher-level semantic–discourse ... -
Disparate semantic ambiguity effects from semantic processing dynamics rather than qualitative task differences
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)A core challenge in the semantic ambiguity literature is understanding why the number and relatedness among a word’s interpretations are associated with different effects in different tasks. An influential account (Hino ... -
Disrupted salience network dynamics in Parkinson's disease patients with impulse control disorders
(Parkinsonism and Related Disorders, 2020)Background: Dynamic functional network analysis may add relevant information about the temporal nature of the neurocognitive alterations in PD patients with impulse control disorders (PD-ICD). Our aim was to investigate changes ... -
Dissociable rhythmic mechanisms enhance memory forconscious and nonconscious perceptual contents
(PNAS, 2022)Understanding the neural mechanisms of conscious and unconscious experience is amajor goal of fundamental and translational neuroscience. Here, we target the earlyvisual cortex with a protocol of noninvasive, high-resolution ... -
Distinctive Frontal and Occipitotemporal Surface Features in Neglectful Parenting
(Brain sciences, 2021)Although the brain signatures of adaptive human parenting are well documented, the cortical features associated with maladaptive caregiving are underexplored. We investigated whether cortical thickness and surface area ... -
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 ... -
Do Diacritical Marks Play a Role at the Early Stages of Word Recognition in Arabic?
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)A crucial question in the domain of visual word recognition is whether letter similarity plays a role in the early stages of visual word processing. Here we focused on Arabic because in this language there are various ...
