Asymmetric Switch Costs in Numeral Naming and Number Word Reading: Implications for Models of Bilingual Language Production
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)
One approach used to gain insight into the processes underlying bilingual language comprehension and production examines the costs that arise from switching languages. For unbalanced bilinguals, asymmetric switch costs are ...
Effects of PSA Removal from NCAM on the Critical Period Plasticity Triggered by the Antidepressant Fluoxetine in the Visual Cortex
(Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016)
Neuronal plasticity peaks during critical periods of postnatal development and is reduced
towards adulthood. Recent data suggests that windows of juvenile-like plasticity can
be triggered in the adult brain by antidepressant ...
Altered cross-frequency coupling in resting-state MEG after mild traumatic brain injury
(International Journal of Psychophysiology, 2016)
Cross-frequency coupling (CFC) is thought to represent a basic mechanism of functional integration of neural networks across distant brain regions. In this study, we analyzed CFC profiles from resting state Magnetoencephalographic ...
Towards a theory of individual differences in statistical learning
(Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society: Biological Sciences, 2017)
In recent years, statistical learning (SL) research has seen a growing interest in tracking individual performance in SL tasks, mainly as a predictor of linguistic abilities. We review studies from this line of research ...
An Event Related Field Study of Rapid Grammatical Plasticity in Adult Second-Language Learners
(Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017)
The present study used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to investigate how Spanish adult learners of Basque respond to morphosyntactic violations after a short period of training on a small fragment of Basque grammar. Participants ...
Word and object recognition during reading acquisition: MEGevidence
(Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2017)
Studies on adults suggest that reading-induced brain changes might not be limited to linguistic processes. It is still unclear whether these results can be generalized to reading development. The present study shows to ...
Measuring individual differences in statistical learning: Current pitfalls and possible solutions
(Behavior Research Methods, 2017)
Most research in statistical learning (SL) has focused
on the mean success rates of participants in detecting
statistical contingencies at a group level. In recent years, however,
researchers have shown increased interest ...
Putting concepts into context
(Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2016)
At first glance, conceptual representations (e.g., our
internal notion of the object Blemon^) seem static; we have the
impression that there is something that the concept lemon
Bmeans^ (a sour, yellow, football-shaped ...
The Emotional Impact of Being Myself: Emotions and Foreign-Language Processing
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016)
Native languages are acquired in emotionally rich contexts, whereas foreign languages are typically
acquired in emotionally neutral academic environments. As a consequence of this difference, it has been
suggested that ...
What do your eyes reveal about your foreign language? Reading emotional sentences in a native and foreign language
(PLoS ONE, 2017)
Foreign languages are often learned in emotionally neutral academic environments which differ greatly from the familiar context where native languages are acquired. This difference in learning contexts has been argued to ...
