Are Sensory-Motor Relationships Encoded ad hoc or by Default?: An ERP Study
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2019)
In this event-related potentials study we tested whether sensory-motor relations
between concrete words are encoded by default or only under explicit ad hoc
instructions. In Exp. 1, participants were explicitly asked to ...
Altered neocortical tactile but preserved auditory early change detection responses in Friedreich ataxia
(Clinical Neurophysiology, 2019)
Objective: To study using magnetoencephalography (MEG) the spatio-temporal dynamics of neocortical
responses involved in sensory processing and early change detection in Friedreich ataxia (FRDA).
Methods: Tactile (TERs) ...
Assessing the Role of the Left Dorsal Frontal Cortex in Working Memory Guidance: Attentional or Mnemonic? A Neurostimulation Study
(Neuroscience, 2019)
Perceptual selection can be guided by the contents of working memory (WM). Neuroimaging and neuropsychological data point to a role of a fronto-parietal and fronto-thalamic networks in WM guidance. Here we assessed the ...
Behavioural and electrophysiological modulations induced by transcranial direct current stimulation in healthy elderly and Alzheimer’s disease patients: A pilot study
(Clinical Neurophysiology, 2019)
Objective
To investigate whether anodal and cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can modify cognitive performance and neural activity in healthy elderly and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients.
Metho ...
Deaf readers benefit from lexical feedback during orthographic processing
(Scientific Reports, 2019)
It has been proposed that poor reading abilities in deaf readers might be related to weak connections between the orthographic and lexical-semantic levels of processing. Here we used event related potentials (ERPs), known ...
Self-bias and the emotionality of foreign languages
(Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2019)
Foreign language contexts impose a relative psychological and emotional distance in bilinguals. In our previous studies, we demonstrated that the use of a foreign language changes the strength of the seemingly automatic ...
No “Self” Advantage for Audiovisual Speech Aftereffects
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2019)
Although the default state of the world is that we see and hear other people talking, there is evidence that seeing and hearing ourselves rather than someone else may lead to visual (i.e., lip-read) or auditory “self” ...
Predictions as a window into learning: Anticipatory fixation offsets carry more information about environmental statistics than reactive stimulus-responses
(Journal of Vision, 2019)
A core question underlying neurobiological and computational models of behavior is how individuals learn environmental statistics and use them to make predictions. Most investigations of this issue have relied on reactive ...
Morphological processing in the brain: The good (inflection), the bad (derivation) and the ugly (compounding)
(Cortex, 2019)
There is considerable behavioral evidence that morphologically complex words such as ‘tax-able’ and ‘kiss-es’ are processed and represented combinatorially. In other words, they are decomposed into their constituents ‘tax’ ...
Metaphors We Learn By: Directed motor action improves word learning
(COGNITION, 2019)
Can performing simple motor actions help people learn the meanings of words? Here we show that placing vocabulary flashcards in particular locations after studying them helps students learn the definitions of novel words ...
