Breaking Down the Bilingual Cost in Speech Production
(Cognitive Science, 2016)
Bilinguals have been shown to perform worse than monolinguals in a variety of verbal tasks. This
study investigated this bilingual verbal cost in a large-scale picture-naming study conducted in Spanish.
We explored how ...
Semantic parafoveal-on-foveal effects and preview benefits in reading: Evidence from Fixation Related Potentials
(Brain and Language, 2016)
During reading parafoveal information can affect the processing of the word currently fixated (parafovea-on-fovea effect) and words perceived parafoveally can facilitate their subsequent processing when they are fixated ...
Listeners beware: Speech production may be bad for learning speech sounds
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2016)
Spoken language requires individuals to both perceive and produce speech. Because both
processes access lexical and sublexical representations, it is commonly assumed that perception
and production involve cooperative ...
Testing Bilingual Educational Methods: A Plea to End the Language-Mixing Taboo
(Language Learning, 2016)
Language mixing in a given class is often avoided in bilingual education because
of the generally held belief that one subject should be taught in only one language
and one person should stick to one language in order ...
Mutual influences between native and non-native vowels in production: Evidence from short-term visual articulatory feedback training
(Journal of Phonetics, 2016)
We studied mutual influences between native and non-native vowel production during learning, i.e., before and after short-term visual articulatory feedback training with non-native sounds. Monolingual French speakers were ...
How and When Does the Second Language Influence the Production of Native Speech Sounds: A Literature Review
(Language Learning, 2016)
In bilinguals and second language learners, the native (L1) and nonnative (L2) languages
coexist and interact. The L1 influences L2 production via forward transfer, as is seen
with foreign accents. However, language ...
Insights from bimodal bilingualism: Reply to commentaries
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2016)
The commentaries on our Keynote article “Psycholinguistic, cognitive, and neural implications of bimodal bilingualism” were enthusiastic about what can be learned by studying bilinguals who acquire two languages that are ...
Some people are ‘‘More Lexical” than others
(Cognition, 2016)
People can understand speech under poor conditions, even when successive pieces of the waveform are
flipped in time. Using a new method to measure perception of such stimuli, we show that words with
sounds based on rapid ...
Emergent Bilingualism and Working Memory Development in School Aged Children
(Language Learning, 2016)
The present research explores working memory (WM) development in monolingual
as well as emergent bilingual children immersed in an L2 at school. Evidence from
recent years suggests that bilingualism may boost domain-general ...
Does bilingualism shape inhibitory control in the elderly?
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2016)
Bilingualism has been argued to benefit executive functioning. However, recent research suggests that this advantage may stem from uncontrolled factors or incorrectly matched samples. In this study we test the effects of ...
