Agreement and illusion of disagreement: An ERP study on Basque
(Cortex, 2019)
Agreement is a syntactic relation involving a controller (e.g., a noun) and a target with matching inflectional morphology (e.g., a verb). Across languages, electrophysiological studies consistently report that the presence ...
Decoding the Meaning of Unconsciously Processed Words Using fMRI-based MVPA
(NeuroImage, 2019)
Does the human brain elicit patterns of activity associated with the meaning of words in the absence of conscious awareness? Do such non-conscious semantic representations generalize across languages? This study aimed to ...
The impact of bilingualism on executive functions and working memory in young adults
(PLOS ONE, 2019)
A bilingual advantage in a form of a better performance of bilinguals in tasks tapping into executive function abilities has been reported repeatedly in the literature. However, recent research defends that this advantage ...
Attentional Fluctuations, Cognitive Flexibility, and Bilingualism in Kindergarteners
(Behavioral Sciences, 2019)
The idea of a bilingual advantage in aspects of cognitive control—including cognitive
flexibility, inhibition, working memory, and attention—is disputed. Using a sample of kindergarten children, the present study investigated ...
Does the visual attention span play a role in the morphological processing of orthographic stimuli?
(Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2019)
We investigated whether the link between visual attention (VA) span and reading is modulated by the presence of
morphemes. Second and fourth grade children, with Basque as their first language, named morphologically complex ...
Language modality shapes the dynamics of word and sign recognition
(Cognition, 2019)
Spoken words and signs both consist of structured sub-lexical units. While phonemes unfold in time in the case of
the spoken signal, visual sub-lexical units such as location and handshape are produced simultaneously in ...
Functional plasticity associated with language learning in adults
(NeuroImage, 2019)
Learning a new language in adulthood is increasingly common and among the most difficult tasks attempted by adults. Adult language learners thus offer an excellent window into the nature of learning-dependent plasticity. ...
