Interactions between native and non-native vowels in French-Danish contact: production training study
(Romance-Germanic Bilingual Phonology. Equinox eBooks Publishing, United Kingdom., 2017)Speakers who acquire a foreign language (L2) in adulthood (and even earlier), often experience major difficulties in producing non-native speech sounds, a phenomenon commonly known as having a foreign accent. These ... -
Interactions between phasic alerting and consciousness in the fronto-striatal network
(Scientific Reports, 2016)Only a small fraction of all the information reaching our senses can be the object of conscious report or voluntary action. Although some models propose that different attentional states (top-down amplification and ... -
Interference between non-native languages during trilingual language production
(ELSEVIER, 2023)Most research on multilingual language control has focused on a bilingual’s first (L1) and second (L2) languages. Studies on third language (L3) acquisition suggest that, despite the L1 being more proficient, L3 ... -
Intermodality differences in statistical learning: phylogenetic and ontogenetic influences
(WILEY, 2022)In Basque–Spanish bilinguals, statistical learning (SL) in the visual modality was more efficient on nonlinguistic than linguistic input; in the auditory modality, we found the reverse pattern of results.We hypothesize ... -
Interpreting Foreign Smiles: Language Context and Type of Scale in the Assessment of Perceived Happiness and Sadness
(Psicológica, 2020)The current study focuses on how different scales with varying demands can affect our subjective assessments. We carried out 2 experiments in which we asked participants to rate how happy or sad morphed images of faces ... -
Interventional programmes to improve cognition during healthy and pathological ageing: Cortical modulations and evidence for brain plasticity
(Ageing Research Reviews, 2018)A growing body of evidence suggests that healthy elderly individuals and patients with Alzheimer’s disease retain an important potential for neuroplasticity. This review summarizes studies investigating the modulation of ... -
Intrasession and Intersession Reproducibility of Artificial Scotoma pRF Mapping Results at Ultra- High Fields
(Society for Neuroscience, 2022)Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) combined with population receptive field (pRF) mapping allows for associating positions on the visual cortex to areas on the visual field. Apart from applications in ... -
Investigating the Extent to which Distributional Semantic Models Capture a Broad Range of Semantic Relations
(WILEY, 2023)Distributional semantic models (DSMs) are a primary method for distilling semantic information from corpora. However, a key question remains: What types of semantic relations among words do DSMs detect? Prior work typically ... -
Investigating vulnerabilities in grammatical processing of bilinguals
(Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism, 2019)Bilinguals show a large gap in their expressive-receptive abilities, in both languages. To date, most studies have examined lexical processing. The current study aimed to assess comprehension and production of verb ... -
Is Bilingualism Associated With Enhanced Executive Functioning in Adults? A Meta-Analytic Review
(Psychological Bulletin, 2018)Because of enduring experience of managing two languages, bilinguals have been argued to develop superior executive functioning compared with monolinguals. Despite extensive investigation, there is, however, no consensus ... -
Is conscious awareness needed for all working memory processes?
(Neuroscience of Consciousness, 2016)Stein and colleagues argue there is no yet conclusive evidence for nonconscious working memory (WM) and that is critical to probeWMwhile ensuring null sensitivity to memory cues. While this stringent approach reduces the ... -
Is repairing speech errors an automatic or a controlled process? Insights from the relationship between error and repair probabilities in English and Spanish
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2019)Speakers can correct their speech errors, but the mechanisms behind repairs are still unclear. Some findings, such as the speed of repairs and speakers’ occasional unawareness of them, point to an automatic repair process. ... -
Is Small Still Beautiful for the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire? Novel Findings Using Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling
(ASSESSMENT, 2020)During the present decade a large body of research has employed confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to evaluate the factor structure of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) across multiple languages and ... -
Is speech recognition automatic? Lexical competition, but not initial lexical access, requires cognitive resources
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2018)Current models of spoken word recognition suggest that multiple lexical candidates are activated in parallel upon hearing an utterance, with these lexical hypotheses competing with each other for recognition. The current ... -
Is the Hebb repetition task a reliable measure of individual differences in sequence learning?
(QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY, 2018)The Hebb repetition task, an operationalization of long-term sequence learning through repetition, is the focus of renewed interest, as it is taken to provide a laboratory analogue for naturalistic vocabulary acquisition. ... -
Is the LAN effect in morphosyntactic processing an ERP artifact?
(Brain and Language, 2019)The left anterior negativity (LAN) is an ERP component that has been often associated with morphosyntactic processing, but recent reports have questioned whether the LAN effect, in fact, exists. The present project examined ... -
Is there a common oscillatory brain mechanism for producing and predicting language?
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)Recent proposals have suggested that language prediction is supported by the neurophysiological mechanisms involved in language production. Both prediction and production in language imply information processing percolating ... -
Is there electrophysiological evidence for a bilingual advantage in neural processes related to executive functions?
(Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 2020)Over the last two decades, a large number of studies have concluded that bilingualism enhances executive functions. However, other studies have reported no significant results. In addition, it is not clear how bilingualism might ... -
Is there such a thing as a ‘good statistical learner’?
(ELSEVIER, 2022)A growing body of research investigates individual differences in the learning of statistical structure, tying them to variability in cognitive (dis)abilities. This approach views statistical learning (SL) as a general ... -
Is VIRTU4L Larger Than VIR7UAL? Automatic Processing of Number Quantity and Lexical Representations in Leet Words
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016)Recent research has shown that leet words (i.e., words in which some of the letters are replaced by visually similar digits; e.g., VIRTU4L) can be processed as their base words without much cost. However, it remains unclear ...
