Cognitive and neural mechanisms of voluntary versus forced language switching in Chinese–English bilinguals: an fMRI study
(OXFORD, 2024)
The ecological validity of bilingual code-switching has garnered increasing attention in recent years. Contrary to traditional studies that have focused on forced language switching, emerging theories posit that voluntary ...
Think twice: Re-assessing confidence improves visual metacognition
(SPRINGER, 2024)
Metacognition is a fundamental feature of human behavior that has adaptive functional value. Current understanding of the factors that influence metacognition remains incomplete, and we lack protocols to improve metacognition. ...
Contributions of listening effort and intelligibility to cortical tracking of speech in adverse listening conditions
(ELSEVIER, 2024)
Cortical tracking of speech is vital for speech segmentation and is linked to speech intelligibility. However, there is no clear consensus as to whether reduced intelligibility leads to a decrease or an increase in cortical ...
Spoken Word Recognition: A Focus on Plasticity
(Annual Reviews, 2024)
Psycholinguists define spoken word recognition (SWR) as, roughly, the processes intervening between speech perception and sentence processing, whereby a sequence of speech elements is mapped to a phonological wordform. ...
Whole-brain multivariate hemodynamic deconvolution for functional MRI with stability selection
(ELSEVIER, 2024)
Conventionally, analysis of functional MRI (fMRI) data relies on available information about the experimental paradigm to establish hypothesized models of brain activity. However, this information can be inaccurate, ...
Contra assertions, feedback improves word recognition: How feedback and lateral inhibition sharpen signals over noise
(ELSEVIER, 2024)
Whether top-down feedback modulates perception has deep implications for cognitive theories. Debate has been vigorous in the domain of spoken word recognition, where competing computational models and agreement on at least ...
Infants’ Lexical Processing: Independent Contributions of Attentional and Clarity Cues
(Taylor & Francis, 2024)
There is a long-standing debate in the literature about the benefits thatacoustic components of Infant Directed Speech (IDS) might have for infants’language acquisition. One of the highly contested features is vowel ...
Social Priming of Speech Perception: The Role of Individual Differences in Implicit Racial and Ethnic Associations
(APA, 2024)
Prior research has shown that visual information, such as a speaker’s perceived race or ethnicity, prompts listeners to expect a specific sociophonetic pattern (“social priming”). Indeed, a picture of an East Asian face ...
Bilinguals produce language-specific voice onset time in two true-voicing languages
(JOHN BENJAMINS, 2024)
It is well established that early bilinguals who speak languages that differ in the phonetic implementation of the voicing contrast have language-specific voicing systems. This study investigates voicing separation in ...
Early language dissociation in bilingual minds: magnetoencephalography evidence through a machine learning approach
(OXFORD, 2024)
Does neural activity reveal how balanced bilinguals choose languages? Despite using diverse neuroimaging techniques, prior studies haven’t provided a definitive solution to this problem. Nonetheless, studies involving ...
