The effect of orthographic depth on letter string processing: the case of visual attention span and rapid automatized naming
(Reading and Writing, 2018)The present study investigated whether orthographic depth can increase the bias towards multi-letter processing in two reading-related skills: visual attention span (VAS) and rapid automatized naming (RAN). VAS (i.e., the ... -
The effect of orthography on the recognition of pronunciation variants
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020)In conversational speech, it is very common for words’ segments to be reduced or deleted. However, previous research has consistently shown that during spoken word recognition, listeners prefer words’ canonical pronunciation ... -
The effect of regular rhythm on the perception of linguistic and non-linguistic auditory input
(WILEY, 2022)Regular distribution of auditory stimuli over time can facilitate perception and attention. However, such effects have to date only been observed in separate studies using either linguistic or non-linguistic materials. ... -
The effect of speech rhythm and speaking rate on assessment of pronunciation in a second language
(Applied Psycholinguistics, 2019)The study explores the effect of deviations from native speech rhythm and rate norms on the assessement of pronunciation mastery of a second language (L2) when the native language of the learner is either rhythmically ... -
The effects of bilingualism on attentional processes in the first year of life
(Developmental Science, 2021)Bilingualism is a powerful experiential factor, and its effects have been proposed to extend beyond the linguistic domain by boosting the development of executive functioning skills. Crucially, recent findings suggest ... -
The effects of contextual diversity on incidental vocabulary learning in the native and a foreign language
(Scientific Reports, 2020)Vocabulary learning occurs throughout the lifespan, often implicitly. For foreign language learners, this is particularly challenging as they must acquire a large number of new words with little exposure. In the present ... -
The effects of ethnicity, musicianship, and tone language experience on pitch perception
(Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2018)Article information Article has an altmetric score of 3 Free Access Article Information Volume: 71 issue: 12, page(s): 2627-2642 Article first published online: February 16, 2018; Issue published: December 1, ... -
The effects of language and emotionality of stimuli on vocabulary learning
(PLOS ONE, 2020)Learning new content and vocabulary in a foreign language can be particularly difficult. Yet, there are educational programs that require people to study in a language they are not native speakers of. For this reason, ... -
The effects of motivational reward on the pathological attentional blink following right hemisphere stroke
(Neuropsychologia, 2016)Recent work has shown that attentional deficits following stroke can be modulated by motivational stimulation, particularly anticipated monetary reward. Here we examined the effects of anticipated reward on the pathological ... -
The effects of multi-echo fMRI combination and rapid T 2 ∗ -mapping on offline and real-time BOLD sensitivity
(NeuroImage, 2021)A variety of strategies are used to combine multi-echo functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data, yet recent literature lacks a systematic comparison of the available options. Here we compare six different approaches ... -
The Emotional Impact of Being Myself: Emotions and Foreign-Language Processing
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016)Native languages are acquired in emotionally rich contexts, whereas foreign languages are typically acquired in emotionally neutral academic environments. As a consequence of this difference, it has been suggested that ... -
The ERP signature of the contextual diversity effect in visual word recognition
(Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2017)Behavioral experiments have revealed that words appearing in many different contexts are responded to faster than words that appear in few contexts. Although this contextual diversity (CD) effect has been found to be ... -
The genetic architecture of language functional connectivity
(ELSEVIER, 2022)Language is a unique trait of the human species, of which the genetic architecture remains largely unknown. Through language disorders studies, many candidate genes were identified. However, such complex and multi- factorial ... -
The human connectome project for disordered emotional states: Protocol and rationale for a research domain criteria study of brain connectivity in young adult anxiety and depression
(NeuroImage, 2020)Through the Human Connectome Project (HCP) our understanding of the functional connectome of the healthy brain has been dramatically accelerated. Given the pressing public health need, we must increase our understanding ... -
The impact of bilingualism on executive functions and working memory in young adults
(PLOS ONE, 2019)A bilingual advantage in a form of a better performance of bilinguals in tasks tapping into executive function abilities has been reported repeatedly in the literature. However, recent research defends that this advantage ... -
The impact of foreign accent on irony interpretation
(PLoS ONE, 2018)In modern multi-cultural societies, conversations between foreign speakers and native listeners have become very common. These exchanges often include the use of figurative language. The present study examines, for the ... -
The impact of orthographic forms on speech production and perception: An artificial vowel-learning study
(ELSEVIER, 2022)This study investigates the effect of orthographic forms on phonetic aspects of isolated speech sound production and perception. Three groups of 25 L1-Spanish speakers were exposed to /y/ and /e/ in a multi-session ... -
The Influence of Emotional and Foreign Language Context in Content Learning
(Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2020)Prior research has found reduced emotionality with foreign language use, especially with single words, but what happens if emotionality is conveyed throughout a longer text? Does emotionality affect how well we remember ... -
The late positive potential (LPP): A neural marker of internalizing problems in early childhood
(International Journal of Psychophysiology, 2020)Background: One potentially relevant neurophysiological marker of internalizing problems (anxiety/depressive symptoms) is the late positive potential (LPP), as it is related to processing of emotional stimuli. For the ... -
The long road of statistical learning research: past, present and future
(Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society: Biological Sciences, 2017)...
