Effect of deep brain stimulation on vocal motor control mechanisms in Parkinson's disease
(Parkinsonism and Related Disorders, 2019)
motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD); however, its effect on vocal motor function has yielded conflicted
and highly variable results. The present study investigated the effects of STN-DBS on the mechanisms of ...
Voices in the mental lexicon: Words carry indexical information that can affect access to their meaning
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2019)
The speech signal carries both linguistic and non-linguistic information (e.g., a talker’s voice qualities; referred to as indexical information). There is evidence that indexical information can affect some aspects of ...
Any leftovers from a discarded prediction? Evidence from eye-movements during sentence comprehension
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2019)
We investigated how listeners use gender-marked adjectives to adjust lexical predictions during
sentence comprehension. Participants listened to sentence fragments in Spanish (e.g. “The witch
flew to the village on her…”) ...
Lip-Reading Enables the Brain to Synthesize Auditory Features of Unknown Silent Speech
(The Journal of Neuroscience, 2020)
Lip-reading is crucial for understanding speech in challenging conditions. But how the brain extracts meaning from, silent, visual speech
is still under debate. Lip-reading in silence activates the auditory cortices, but ...
Lexical and sublexical effects on visual word recognition in Greek: comparing human behavior to the dual route cascaded modell
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2017)
We evaluated the dual route cascaded (DRC) model of visual word recognition using Greek behavioural data on word and nonword naming and lexical decision, focusing on the effects of syllable and bigram frequency. DRC was ...
Reconciling the Contradictory Effects of Production on Word Learning: Production May Help at First, but It Hurts Later
(APA American Psychological Association, 2022)
Does saying a novel word help to recognize it later? Previous research on the effect of production on
this aspect of word learning is inconclusive, as both facilitatory and detrimental effects of production
are reported. ...
On the Locus of L2 Lexical Fuzziness: Insights From L1 Spoken Word Recognition and Novel Word Learning
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2021)
The examination of how words are learned can offer valuable insights into the
nature of lexical representations. For example, a common assessment of novel word
learning is based on its ability to interfere with other ...

Gradient Activation of Speech Categories Facilitates Listeners’ Recovery From Lexical Garden Paths, But Not Perception of Speech-in-Noise
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2021)
Listeners activate speech-sound categories in a gradient way, and this information is maintained and affects
activation of items at higher levels of processing (McMurray et al., 2002; Toscano et al., 2010). Recent ...
Dynamic EEG analysis during language comprehension reveals interactive cascades between perceptual processing and sentential expectations
(Brain and Language, 2020)
Understanding spoken language requires analysis of the rapidly unfolding speech signal at multiple levels: acoustic, phonological, and semantic. However, there is not yet a comprehensive picture of how these levels relate. ...
