Effects of age on inhibitory control are affected by task-specific features
(Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2018)Older adults have been argued to have impoverished inhibitory control compared to younger adults. However, these effects of age may depend on processing speed and their manifestation may furthermore depend on the type of ... -
Effects of maternal depression on maternal responsiveness and infants’ expressive language abilities
(PLOS, 2023)High levels of maternal responsiveness are associated with healthy cognitive and emotional development in infants. However, depression and anxiety can negatively impact individual mothers’ responsiveness levels and ... -
Effects of Mild Cognitive Impairment on the Event-Related Brain Potential Components Elicited in Executive Control Tasks
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2018)We summarize here the findings of several studies in which we analyzed the eventrelated brain potentials (ERPs) elicited in participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and in healthy controls during performance of ... -
Effects of PSA Removal from NCAM on the Critical Period Plasticity Triggered by the Antidepressant Fluoxetine in the Visual Cortex
(Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016)Neuronal plasticity peaks during critical periods of postnatal development and is reduced towards adulthood. Recent data suggests that windows of juvenile-like plasticity can be triggered in the adult brain by antidepressant ... -
Effects of subject-case marking on agreement processing: ERP evidence from Basque
(Cortex, 2018)Previous cross-linguistic research has found that comprehenders are immediately sensitive to various kinds of agreement violations across languages. We focused on Basque, a verb-final ergative language with both subjecteverb ... -
Electrophysiological alterations during action semantic processing in Parkinson’s disease
(SPRINGER, 2024)Assessments of action semantics consistently reveal markers of Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, neurophysiological signatures of the domain remain under-examined in this population, especially under conditions that allow ... -
Electrophysiological evidence for differences between fusion and combination illusions in audiovisual speech perception
(European Journal of Neuroscience, 2017)Incongruent audiovisual speech stimuli can lead to perceptual illusions such as fusions or combinations. Here, we investigated the underlying audiovisual integration process by measuring ERPs. We observed that visual ... -
Electrophysiological signature of the interplay between habits and inhibition in response to smoking-related cues in individuals with a smoking habit: An event-related potential study
(WILEY, 2023)The rigid, stimulus-bound nature of drug seeking that characterizes substance use disorder (SUD) has been related to a dysregulation of motivational and early attentional reflexive and inhibitory reflective systems. However, ... -
Electrophysiology of statistical learning: Exploring the online learning process and offline learning product
(European Journal of Neuroscience, 2020)A continuous stream of syllables is segmented into discrete constituents based on the transitional probabilities (TPs) between adjacent syllables by means of statistical learning. However, we still do not know whether ... -
Emergent Bilingualism and Working Memory Development in School Aged Children
(Language Learning, 2016)The present research explores working memory (WM) development in monolingual as well as emergent bilingual children immersed in an L2 at school. Evidence from recent years suggests that bilingualism may boost domain-general ... -
Emotional Diglossia in Multilingual Classroom Environments: A Proposal
(Psychology and Cognitive Sciences Open Journal, 2017)Are we aware of the multiple cognitive consequences of being immersed in multilingual learning contexts? In this opinion article, some recent findings from the field of cognitive neuroscience and education has been ... -
Encoding and inhibition of arbitrary episodic context with abstract concepts
(SPRINGER, 2022)Context is critical for conceptual processing, but the mechanism underpinning its encoding and reinstantiation during abstract concept processing is unclear. Context may be especially important for abstract concepts—we ... -
Enhanced disengagement of auditory attention and phonological skills in action video gamers
(Elsevier, 2022)Video games play a major role in the everyday life of children, teenagers, and adults. Several studies show that action video games (AVGs) improve visual attentional efficiency. AVGs also appear to improve reading speed ... -
Enhanced top-down sensorimotor processing in somatic anxiety
(SPRINGER, 2022)Functional neuroimaging research on anxiety has traditionally focused on brain networks associated with the psychological aspects of anxiety. Here, instead, we target the somatic aspects of anxiety. Motivated by the growing ... -
Enhancing reading performance through action video games: the role of visual attention span
(Scientific Reports, 2017)Recent studies reported that Action Video Game-AVG training improves not only certain attentional components, but also reading fluency in children with dyslexia. We aimed to investigate the shared attentional components ... -
Evaluating the Reliability of Human Brain White Matter Tractometry
(Minor White, 2021)The validity of research results depends on the reliability of analysis methods. In recent years, there have been concerns about the validity of research that uses diffusion-weighted MRI (dMRI) to understand human brain ... -
Evaluation of multi-echo ICA denoising for task based fMRI studies: Block designs, rapid event-related designs, and cardiac-gated fMRI
(NeuroImage, 2016)Multi-echo fMRI, particularly the multi-echo independent component analysis (ME-ICA) algorithm, has previously proven useful for increasing the sensitivity and reducing false positives for functional MRI (fMRI) based resting ... -
Event-related potentials in the study of L2 sentence processing: A scoping review of the decade 2010-2020
(Taylor & Francis, 2023)Event-related potentials (ERPs) have become widespread in second language acquisition (SLA) research and a growing body of literature has been produced in recent years. We surveyed 61 SLA papers that use ERPs to study L2 ... -
Event-Related Potentials Reveal Altered Executive Control Activity in Healthy Elderly With Subjective Memory Complaints
(Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018)Several studies reported that healthy elderly with subjective memory complaints (SMC) evolve to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) more frequently than elderly without subjective memory decline. In the present study, we investigated ... -
Everyday language input and production in 1001 children from 6 continents
(PNAS, 2023)Language is a universal human ability, acquired readily by young children, who otherwise struggle with many basics of survival. And yet, language ability is variable across individuals. Naturalistic and experimental ...
