Phonological and orthographic coding in deaf skilled readers
(Cognition, 2017)Written language is very important in daily life. However, most deaf people do not achieve good reading levels compared to their hearing peers. Previous research has mainly focused on their difficulties when reading in a ... -
Physiology of Language
(Encyclopedia of Evolutionary Psychological Science, 2016)Comprehending and producing linguistic utterances relies on complex phonological, syntactic, and semantic representations that we incrementally and unconsciously build as the message unfolds in time. Behind these cognitive ... -
Prediction is Production: The missing link between language production and comprehension
(Scientific Reports, 2018)Language comprehension often involves the generation of predictions. It has been hypothesized that such prediction-for-comprehension entails actual language production. Recent studies provided evidence that the production ... -
Prediction of Agreement and Phonetic Overlap Shape Sublexical Identification
(Language and Speech, 2017)The mapping between the physical speech signal and our internal representations is rarely straightforward. When faced with uncertainty, higher-order information is used to parse the signal and because of this, the lexicon ... -
Prediction of central neuropathic pain in spinal cord injury based on EEG classifier
(Clinical Neurophysiology, 2018)Objectives To create a classifier based on electroencephalography (EEG) to identify spinal cord injured (SCI) participants at risk of developing central neuropathic pain (CNP) by comparing them with patients who had ... -
Predictions as a window into learning: Anticipatory fixation offsets carry more information about environmental statistics than reactive stimulus-responses
(Journal of Vision, 2019)A core question underlying neurobiological and computational models of behavior is how individuals learn environmental statistics and use them to make predictions. Most investigations of this issue have relied on reactive ... -
Presurgical electromagnetic functional brain mapping in refractory focal epilepsy
(Zeitschrift für Epileptologie, 2018)Background. Electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) are neurophysiological methods used to investigate noninvasively the spatial, temporal, and spectral dynamics of human brain functions. Objectives. ... -
Processing Sentences With Multiple Negations: Grammatical Structures That Are Perceived as Unacceptable
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2019)This investigation draws from research on negative polarity item (NPI) illusions in order to explore a new and interesting instance of misalignment observed for grammatical sentences containing two negative markers. Previous ... -
Progression from selective to general involvement of hippocampal subfields in schizophrenia
(Molecular Psychiatry, 2017)Volume deficits of the hippocampus in schizophrenia have been consistently reported. However, the hippocampus is anatomically heterogeneous; it remains unclear whether certain portions of the hippocampus are affected more ... -
Prosodic cues in infant-directed speech facilitate young children’s conversational turn predictions
(Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2020)Experienced language users are able to predict when conversational turns approach completion, which allows them to attend to and comprehend their interlocutor’s speech while planning and accurately timing their response. ... -
Psycholinguists should resist the allure of linguistic units as perceptual units
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2020)The current study has empirical, methodological, and theoretical components. It draws heavily on two recent papers: Bowers et al. (2016) (JML, 87, 71–83) used results from selective adaptation experiments to argue that ... -
Putting concepts into context
(Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2016)At first glance, conceptual representations (e.g., our internal notion of the object Blemon^) seem static; we have the impression that there is something that the concept lemon Bmeans^ (a sour, yellow, football-shaped ... -
Quality and denoising in real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging neurofeedback: A methods review
(Human Brain Mapping, 2020)Neurofeedback training using real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rtfMRI-NF) allows subjects voluntary control of localised and distributed brain activity. It has sparked increased interest as a promising ... -

Quantifying lip-read-induced suppression and facilitation of the auditory N1 and P2 reveals peak enhancements and delays
(Psychophysiology, 2016)Lip-read speech suppresses and speeds up the auditory N1 and P2 peaks, but these effects are not always observed or reported. Here, the robustness of lip-read-induced N1/P2 suppression and facilitation in phonetically ... -
Reading comprehension and immersion schooling: evidence from component skills
(Developmental Science, 2017)The present research aims to assess literacy acquisition in children becoming bilingual via second language immersion in school. We adopt a cognitive components approach, assessing text-level reading comprehension, a ... -
Reanalyzing language expectations: Native language knowledge modulates the sensitivity to intervening cues during anticipatory processing
(Psychophysiology, 2018)We investigated how native language experience shapes anticipatory language processing. Two groups of bilinguals (either Spanish or Basque natives) performed a word matching task (WordMT) and a picture matching task ... -
Recalibration of vocal affect by a dynamic face
(Experimental Brain Research, 2018)Perception of vocal affect is influenced by the concurrent sight of an emotional face. We demonstrate that the sight of an emotional face also can induce recalibration of vocal affect. Participants were exposed to videos ... -
Redefining “Learning” in Statistical Learning: What Does an Online Measure Reveal About the Assimilation of Visual Regularities?
(Cognitive Science, 2018)From a theoretical perspective, most discussions of statistical learning (SL) have focused on the possible “statistical” properties that are the object of learning. Much less attention has been given to defining what ... -
Regional Hippocampal Atrophy and Higher Levels of Plasma Amyloid-Beta Are Associated With Subjective Memory Complaints in Nondemented Elderly Subjects
(The Journals of Gerontology: Series A, 2016)Background: Evidence suggests a link between the presence of subjective memory complaints (SMC) and lower volume of the hippocampus, one of the first regions to show neuropathological lesions in Alzheimer’s disease. ...
