An evolutionary account of intermodality differences in statistical learning
(Wiley, 2021)
The cognitive mechanisms underlying statistical learning are engaged for the purposes of speech processing and
language acquisition. However, these mechanisms are shared by a wide variety of species that do not possess ...
The late positive potential (LPP): A neural marker of internalizing problems in early childhood
(International Journal of Psychophysiology, 2020)
Background: One potentially relevant neurophysiological marker of internalizing problems (anxiety/depressive
symptoms) is the late positive potential (LPP), as it is related to processing of emotional stimuli. For the ...
Temporal uncertainty enhances suppression of neural responses to predictable visual stimuli
(NeuroImage, 2021)
Contextual information triggers predictions about the content ( “what ”) of environmental stimuli to update an in- ternal generative model of the surrounding world. However, visual information dynamically changes across ...
Functional connectivity of the hippocampus and its subfields in resting-state networks
(European Journal of Neuroscience, 2021)
Many neuroimaging studies have shown that the hippocampus participates in a
resting-state
network called the default mode network. However, how the hippocampus
connects to the default mode network, whether the hippocampus ...
Speech-brain phase coupling is enhanced in low contextual semantic predictability conditions
(Neuropsychologia, 2021)
Semantic prediction and cortical entrainment to the acoustic landmarks of the speech envelope are two fundamental
yet qualitatively different mechanisms that facilitate speech comprehension. However, it is not clear ...
Statistical Learning and Language Impairments: Toward More Precise Theoretical Accounts
(Perspectives on Psychological Science, 2021)
Statistical-learning (SL) theory offers an experience-based account of typical and atypical spoken and written language
acquisition. Recent work has provided initial support for this view, tying individual differences in ...
Development of the visual white matter pathways mediates development of electrophysiological responses in visual cortex
(Human Brain Mapping, 2021)
The latency of neural responses in the visual cortex changes systematically across
the lifespan. Here, we test the hypothesis that development of visual white matter
pathways mediates maturational changes in the latency ...
Listener expectations and the perceptual accommodation of talker variability: A pre-registered replication
(Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2021)
Researchers have hypothesized that in order to accommodate variability in how talkers produce their speech sounds, listeners
must perform a process of talker normalization. Consistent with this proposal, several studies ...
Changes in the Sensitivity to Language-Specific Orthographic Patterns With Age
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2020)
How do bilingual readers of languages that have similar scripts identify a language
switch? Recent behavioral and electroencephalographic results suggest that they rely
on orthotactic cues to recognize the language of ...
Integrating statistical learning into cognitive science
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2020)
Over the last two decades statistical learning (SL) has evolved into a key explanatory mechanism underlying the
incidental learning of regularities across different domains of cognition, such as language, visual and ...
