      Does consonant–vowel skeletal structure play a role early in lexical processing? Evidence from masked priming 

      Perea, Manuel; Marcet, Ana; Acha Morcillo, Joana ORCID (Applied Psycholinguistics, 2018)
      Is the specific consonant–vowel (CV) letter combination of a word a basic source of information for lexical access in the early stages of processing? We designed two masked priming lexical decision experiments to respond ...

      Does incidental sequence learning allow us to better manage upcoming conflicting events? 

      Jiménez, Luis; Abrahamse, Elger L.; Méndez, Cástor; Braem, Senne (Psychological Research, 2020)
      Recent proposals emphasize the role of learning in empirical markers of conflict adaptation. Some of these proposals are rooted in the assumption that contingency learning works not only on stimulus–response events but ...

      Does letter rotation slow down orthographic processing in word recognition? 

      Perea, Manuel; Marcet, Ana; Fernández-López, María (Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2018)
      Leading neural models of visual word recognition assume that letter rotation slows down the conversion of the visual input to a stable orthographic representation (e.g., local detectors combination model; Dehaene, Cohen, ...

      Does Location Uncertainty in Letter Position Coding Emerge Because of Literacy Training? 

      Perea, Manuel; Jiménez, María; Gómez, Pablo (Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016)
      In the quest to unveil the nature of the orthographic code, a useful strategy is to examine the transposed-letter effect (e.g., JUGDE is more confusable with its base word, JUDGE, than the replacement-letter nonword ...

      Does narrator variability facilitate incidental word learning in the classroom? 

      Tapia, José Luis; Rocabado, Francisco; Vergara-Martínez, Marta; Perea, Manuel (SPRINGER, 2022)
      Recent studies have revealed that presenting novel words across various contexts (i.e., contextual diversity) helps to consolidate the meaning of these words both in adults and children. This effect has been typically ...

      Does orthographic processing emerge rapidly after learning a new script? 

      Fernández-López, María; Marcet, Ana; Perea, Manuel (British Journal of Psychology, 2021)
      Orthographic processing is characterized by location-invariant and location-specific processing (Grainger, 2018): (1) strings of letters are more vulnerable to transposition effects than the strings of symbols in same-different ...

      Does seeing an Asian face make speech sound more accented? 

      Zheng, Yi; Samuel, Arthur G. (Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2017)
      Prior studies have reported that seeing an Asian face makes American English sound more accented. The current study investigates whether this effect is perceptual, or if it instead occurs at a later decision stage. We ...

      Does signal reduction imply predictive coding in models of spoken word recognition? 

      Luthra, Sahil; Li, Monica Y. C.; You, Heejo; Brodbeck, Christian; Magnuson, James S. (Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2021)
      Pervasive behavioral and neural evidence for predictive processing has led to claims that language processing depends upon predictive coding. Formally, predictive coding is a computational mechanism where only deviations ...

      Does the Visual Attention Span Play a Role in Reading in Arabic? 

      Lallier, Marie; Abu Mallouh, Reem; Mohammed, Ahmed M.; Khalifa, Batoul; Perea, Manuel; Carreiras, Manuel (Scientific Studies of Reading, 2018)
      It is unclear whether the association between the visual attention (VA) span and reading differs across languages. Here we studied this relationship in Arabic, where the use of specific reading strategies depends on the ...

      Does the visual attention span play a role in the morphological processing of orthographic stimuli? 

      Antzaka, Alexia; Acha Morcillo, Joana ORCID; Carreiras, Manuel; Lallier, Marie (Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2019)
      We investigated whether the link between visual attention (VA) span and reading is modulated by the presence of morphemes. Second and fourth grade children, with Basque as their first language, named morphologically complex ...

      Does visual letter similarity modulate masked form priming in young readers of Arabic? 

      Perea, Manuel; Abu Mallouh, Reem; Mohammed, Ahmed; Khalifa, Batoul; Carreiras, Manuel (Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2018)
      We carried out a masked priming lexical decision experiment to study whether visual letter similarity plays a role during the initial phases of word processing in young readers of Arabic (fifth graders). Arabic is ideally ...

      Domain-general and domain-specific computations in single word processing 

      Klimovich-Gray, Anastasia; Bozic, Mirjana (NeuroImage, 2019)
      Language comprehension relies on a multitude of domain-general and domain-specific cognitive operations. This study asks whether the domain-specific grammatical computations are obligatorily invoked whenever we ...

      Don’t force it! Gradient speech categorization calls for continuous categorization tasks 

      Apfelbaum, Keith S.; Kutlu, Ethan; McMurray, Bob; Kapnoula, Efthymia C. (ASA, 2022)
      Research on speech categorization and phoneme recognition has relied heavily on tasks in which participants listen to stimuli from a speech continuum and are asked to either classify each stimulus (identification) or ...

      Dorsal anterior cingulate-brainstem ensemble as a reinforcement meta-learner 

      Silvetti, Massimo; Vassena, Eliana; Abrahamse, Elger L.; Verguts, Tom (PLOS Computational Biology, 2018)
      Optimal decision-making is based on integrating information from several dimensions of decisional space (e.g., reward expectation, cost estimation, effort exertion). Despite considerable empirical and theoretical efforts, ...

      Dynamic EEG analysis during language comprehension reveals interactive cascades between perceptual processing and sentential expectations 

      Sarrett, McCall E.; McMurray, Bob; Kapnoula, Efthymia C. (Brain and Language, 2020)
      Understanding spoken language requires analysis of the rapidly unfolding speech signal at multiple levels: acoustic, phonological, and semantic. However, there is not yet a comprehensive picture of how these levels relate. ...

      Early and late indications of item-specific control in a Stroop mouse tracking study 

      Bundt, Carsten; Ruitenberg, Marit F. L.; Abrahamse, Elger L.; Notebaert, Wim (PLoS ONE, 2018)
      Previous studies indicated that cognitive conflict continues to bias actions even after a movement has been initiated. The present paper examined whether cognitive control also biases actions after movement initiation. ...

      Early dissociation of numbers and letters in the human brain 

      Aurtenetxe, Sara; Molinaro, Nicola; Davidson, Doug; Carreiras, Manuel (Cortex, 2020)
      Numbers and letters are culturally created symbols which are learned through repeated training. This experience leads to a functional specialization of the perceptual system of our brain. Recent evidence suggests a neural ...

      Effect of interstimulus interval on cortical proprioceptive responses to passive finger movements 

      Smeds, Eero; Piitulainen, Harri; Bourguignon, Mathieu; Jousm€ak, Veikko; Har, Riitta (European Journal of Neuroscience, 2017)
      Shortening of the interstimulus interval (ISI) generally leads to attenuation of cortical sensory responses. For proprioception, however, this ISI effect is still poorly known. Our aim was to characterize the ISI dependence ...
