Measuring individual differences in statistical learning: Current pitfalls and possible solutions
(Behavior Research Methods, 2017)Most research in statistical learning (SL) has focused on the mean success rates of participants in detecting statistical contingencies at a group level. In recent years, however, researchers have shown increased interest ... -
Measuring the cortical tracking of speech with optically-pumped magnetometers
(NeuroImage, 2021)During continuous speech listening, brain activity tracks speech rhythmicity at frequencies matching with the repetition rate of phrases (0.2–1.5 Hz), words (2–4 Hz) and syllables (4–8 Hz). Here, we evaluated the applica- ... -
MEG Insight into the Spectral Dynamics Underlying Steady Isometric Muscle Contraction
(The Journal of Neuroscience, 2017)To gain fundamental knowledge on how the brain controls motor actions, we studied in detail the interplay between MEG signals from the primary sensorimotor (SM1) cortex and the contraction force of 17 healthy adult humans ... -
Mental Representation of Word Family Structure: The Case of German Infinitives, Conversion Nouns and Other Morphologically Related Forms
(Frontiers, 2022)This study investigates how two non-finite forms, infinitives and conversion nouns, are represented in the mind of L1 and L2 speakers and what is their relationship to other members of the corresponding word family. German ... -

Metacognition in Second Language Speech Perception and Production
; Soto, David
; (WILEY, 2023)
In this study, we assessed metacognition in nonnative language speech perception and production. Spanish novice learners of French identified and produced the French vowel contrast /ø/–/œ/ and, on each trial, rated their ... -
Metacognitive Processing in Language Learning Tasks Is Affected by Bilingualism
Ordin, Mikhail; Polyanskaya, Leona; Soto, David (Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020)
We assessed the effect of bilingualism on metacognitive processing in the artificial language learning task, in 2 experiments varying in the difficulty to segment the language. Following a study phase in which participants ... -
Metacognitive scaffolding boosts cognitive and neural benefits following executive attention training in children
(Developmental Science, 2019)Interventions including social scaffolding and metacognitive strategies have been used in educational settings to promote cognition. In addition, increasing evidence shows that computerized process-based training enhances ... -
Metaphors We Learn By: Directed motor action improves word learning
(COGNITION, 2019)Can performing simple motor actions help people learn the meanings of words? Here we show that placing vocabulary flashcards in particular locations after studying them helps students learn the definitions of novel words ... -
Methods for cleaning the BOLD fMRI signal
(NeuroImage, 2017)Blood oxygen-level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD fMRI) has rapidly become a popular technique for the investigation of brain function in healthy individuals, patients as well as in animal studies. ... -
Mind the Orthography: Revisiting the Contribution of Prereading Phonological Awareness to Reading Acquisition
(APA, 2022)Reading acquisition is based on a set of preliteracy skills that lay the foundation for future reading abilities. Phonological awareness—the ability to identify and manipulate the sound units of oral language— has been ... -
Morphological decomposition in Chinese compound word recognition: Electrophysiological evidence
(ELSEVIER, 2023)The present study examined the effect of both morphological complexity and semantic transparency in Chinese compound word recognition. Using a visual lexical decision task, our electrophysiological results showed ... -
Morphological processing in the brain: The good (inflection), the bad (derivation) and the ugly (compounding)
(Cortex, 2019)There is considerable behavioral evidence that morphologically complex words such as ‘tax-able’ and ‘kiss-es’ are processed and represented combinatorially. In other words, they are decomposed into their constituents ‘tax’ ... -
Morphological Variability in Second Language Learners: An Examination of Electrophysiological and Production Data
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017)We examined sources of morphological variability in second language (L2) learners of Spanish whose native language (L1) is English, with a focus on L1-L2 similarity, morphological markedness, and knowledge type (receptive ... -
Motivation and attention following hemispheric stroke
(Progress in Brain Research, 2016)Spatial neglect (SN) is an extremely common disorder of attention; it is most frequently a consequence of stroke, especially to the right cerebral hemisphere. The current view of SN is that it is not a unitary deficit ... -
Motor dexterity and strength depend upon integrity of the attention-control system
Rinne, Paul; Hassan, Mursyida; Fernandes, Cristina; Han, Erika; Hennessy, Emma; Waldman, Adam; Sharma, Pankaj; Soto, David; Leech, Robert; Malhotra, Paresh A.; Bentley, Paul (PNAS, 2018)
Attention control (or executive control) is a higher cognitive function involved in response selection and inhibition, through close interactions with the motor system. Here, we tested whether influences of attention control ... -
Movement Kinematics Dynamically Modulates the Rolandic ~ 20-Hz Rhythm During Goal-Directed Executed and Observed Hand Actions
(Brain Topography, 2018)This study investigates whether movement kinematics modulates similarly the rolandic α and β rhythm amplitude during executed and observed goal-directed hand movements. It also assesses if this modulation relates to the ... -
Multidimensional Signals and Analytic Flexibility: Estimating Degrees of Freedom in Human-Speech Analyses
(SAGE, 2023)Recent empirical studies have highlighted the large degree of analytic flexibility in data analysis that can lead to substantially different conclusions based on the same data set. Thus, researchers have expressed their ... -
MULTIMAP: Multilingual picture naming test for mapping eloquent areas during awake surgeries
(Behavior Research Methods, 2021)Picture naming tasks are currently the gold standard for identifying and preserving language-related areas during awake brain surgery. With multilingual populations increasing worldwide, patients frequently need to be ... -
MultiPic: A standardized set of 750 drawings with norms for six European languages
(Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2018)Numerous studies in psychology, cognitive neuroscience and psycholinguistics have used pictures of objects as stimulus materials. Currently, authors engaged in cross-linguistic work or wishing to run parallel studies at ...
