Contextual priors do not modulate action prediction in children with autism
(Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019)
Bayesian accounts of autism suggest that this disorder may be rooted in an
impaired ability to estimate the probability of future events, possibly owing
to reduced priors. Here, we tested this hypothesis within the action ...
Tracking the time course of letter visual-similarity effects during word recognition: A masked priming ERP investigation
(Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2019)
Visual similarity effects during the early stages of word processing have been consistently found for letter-like digits and symbols. However, despite its relevance for models of word recognition, evidence for letter ...
I’m Doing Better on My Own: Social Inhibition in Vocabulary Learning in Adults
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2019)
Vocabulary learning is better achieved by children facing a teacher than when presented to the same teacher through video (so-called “video deficit” effect), which has significant implications for toddlers’ education. Since ...
Task switching and bilingualism in young and older adults: A behavioral and electrophysiological investigation
(Neuropsychologia, 2019)
The current study investigated behavioral and electrophysiological (event-related potential; ERP) differences associated with task switching in a sample of young and older monolingual and bilingual adults. ERPs associated ...
Augmented Modality Exclusivity Norms for Concrete and Abstract Italian Property Words
(Journal of Cognition, 2019)
How perceptual information is encoded into language and conceptual knowledge is a debated topic in cognitive (neuro)science. We present modality norms for 643 Italian adjectives, which referred to one of the five perceptual ...
Tapping to a beat in synchrony predicts brain print sensitivity in pre-readers
(Brain and Language, 2019)
This longitudinal study was aimed at testing the relation between rhythm sensitivity and behavioural and neural orthographic sensitivity in pre-reading stages. Basque-speaking children performed several behavioural and EEG ...
Anticipating information structure: An event-related potentials study of focus assignment via the it-cleft
(Neuropsychologia, 2019)
The present study uses event-related potentials to investigate the role of prediction in the processing of information structure, a domain of language that belongs to the level of the discourse. Twenty-three native speakers ...
A deconvolution algorithm for multi-echo functional MRI: Multi-echo Sparse Paradigm Free Mapping
(NeuroImage, 2019)
This work introduces a novel algorithm for deconvolution of the BOLD signal in multi-echo fMRI data: Multi-echo Sparse Paradigm Free Mapping (ME-SPFM). Assuming a linear dependence of the BOLD percent signal change on the ...
Brain-behavior relationships in incidental learning of non-native phonetic categories
(Brain and Language, 2019)
Research has implicated the left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG) in mapping acoustic-phonetic input to sound category representations, both in native speech perception and non-native phonetic category learning. At issue is ...
What Determines Visual Statistical Learning Performance? Insights From Information Theory
(Cognitive Science. A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019)
In order to extract the regularities underlying a continuous sensory input, the individual elements constituting the stream have to be encoded and their transitional probabilities (TPs) should be learned. This suggests ...
