Speaker matters: Natural inter-speaker variation affects 4-month-olds’ perception of audio-visual speech
(First Language, 2020)
In the language development literature, studies often make inferences about infants’ speech perception abilities based on their responses to a single speaker. However, there can be significant natural variability across ...
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 neurocognitive underpinnings of the Simon effect: An integrative review of current research
(Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2020)
For as long as half a century the Simon task – in which participants respond to a nonspatial stimulus feature while ignoring its position – has represented a very popular tool to study a variety of cognitive functions, ...
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 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 ...
Examining Bilingual Language Switching Across the Lifespan in Cued and Voluntary Switching Contexts
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2020)
How bilinguals control their languages and switch between them may change across the life span.
Furthermore, bilingual language control may depend on the demands imposed by the context. Across 2
experiments, we examined ...
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 ...
“Words and emotions in sentence context”: a commentary on Hinojosa, Moreno and Ferré (2019)
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2020)
Sensorimotor Mapping With MEG: An Update on the Current State of Clinical Research and Practice With Considerations for Clinical Practice Guidelines
(Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2020)
In this article, we present the clinical indications and
advances in the use of magnetoencephalography to map the
primary sensorimotor (SM1) cortex in neurosurgical patients
noninvasively. We emphasize the advantages ...
Finding identity in the midst of ambiguity: case and number disambiguation in Basque
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2020)
Restrictive contextual information has been found to bias syntactic disambiguation, when only one
alternative leads to a meaningful interpretation. The current study tests whether disambiguation
can be influenced by ...
