Language Proficiency Entails Tuning Cortical Activity to Second Language Speech
(Cerebral Cortex, 2021)
Cortical tracking of linguistic structures in speech, such as phrases (<3 Hz, delta band) and syllables (3–8 Hz, theta band), is
known to be crucial for speech comprehension. However, it has not been established whether ...
Early dissociation of numbers and letters in the human brain
(Cortex, 2020)
Numbers and letters are culturally created symbols which are learned through repeated
training. This experience leads to a functional specialization of the perceptual system of
our brain. Recent evidence suggests a neural ...
Cross-linguistic transfer in bilingual reading is item specific
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2021)
The grain size of orthographic representations prompted by a consistent orthography (like
Spanish or Basque) increases if reading is simultaneously learned in another language with
an inconsistent orthography (like ...
Neurocognitive mechanisms supporting the generalization of concepts across languages
(Neuropsychologia, 2021)
The neurocognitive mechanisms that support the generalization of semantic representations across different
languages remain to be determined. Current psycholinguistic models propose that semantic representations are
likely ...
Impaired neural response to speech edges in dyslexia
(ScienceDirect, 2021)
Speech comprehension has been proposed to critically rely on oscillatory cortical tracking, that is, phase alignment of neural oscillations to the slow temporal modulations (envelope) of speech. Speech-brain entrainment ...
Reading without phonology: ERP evidence from skilled deaf readers of Spanish
(Scientific Reports, 2021)
Reading typically involves phonological mediation, especially for transparent orthographies with
a regular letter to sound correspondence. In this study we ask whether phonological coding is a
necessary part of the reading ...
The Deployment of Young Readers´ Visual Attention across Orthographic Strings: The Influence of Stems and Suffixes
(Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021)
The goal of the paper was to investigate whether morphological units –
stems and suffixes – influence orthographic processing by modulating
visual attention demands to the task. Orthographic processing was measured
with ...
How do Spanish speakers read words? Insights from a crowdsourced lexical decision megastudy
(Behavior Research Methods, 2020)
Vocabulary size seems to be affected by multiple factors, including those that belong to the properties of the words themselves
and those that relate to the characteristics of the individuals assessing the words. In this ...
Matrices of the frequency and similarity of Arabic letters and allographs
(Behavior Research Methods, 2020)
Indicators of letter frequency and similarity have long been available for Indo-European languages. They have not only been
pivotal in controlling the design of experimental psycholinguistic studies seeking to determine ...
Cross-linguistic semantic preview benefit in Basque-Spanish bilingual readers: Evidence from fixation-related potentials
(Brain and Language, 2021)
During reading, we can process and integrate information from words allocated in the parafoveal region.
However, whether we extract and process the meaning of parafoveal words is still under debate. Here, we obtained
F ...
