The effects of contextual diversity on incidental vocabulary learning in the native and a foreign language
(Scientific Reports, 2020)
Vocabulary learning occurs throughout the lifespan, often implicitly. For foreign language learners, this is particularly challenging as they must acquire a large number of new words with little exposure. In the present ...
The effect of orthography on the recognition of pronunciation variants
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020)
In conversational speech, it is very common for words’ segments to be reduced or deleted. However,
previous research has consistently shown that during spoken word recognition, listeners prefer words’
canonical pronunciation ...
Second-language word recognition in noise: Interdependent neuromodulatory effects of semantic context and crosslinguistic interactions driven by word form similarity
(NeuroImage, 2021)
Spoken language comprehension is a fundamental component of our cognitive skills. We are quite proficient at deciphering words from the auditory input despite the fact that the speech we hear is often masked by noise such ...
Examining Bilingual Language Switching Across the Lifespan in Cued and Voluntary Switching Contexts
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2020)
How bilinguals control their languages and switch between them may change across the life span.
Furthermore, bilingual language control may depend on the demands imposed by the context. Across 2
experiments, we examined ...
Is Small Still Beautiful for the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire? Novel Findings Using Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling
(ASSESSMENT, 2020)
During the present decade a large body of research has employed confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to evaluate the factor
structure of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) across multiple languages and ...
“Words and emotions in sentence context”: a commentary on Hinojosa, Moreno and Ferré (2019)
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2020)
The role of crosslinguistic differences in second language anticipatory processing: An event-related potentials study
(Neuropsychologia, 2021)
The present study uses event-related potentials to investigate how crosslinguistic (dis)similarities modulate
anticipatory processing in the second language (L2). Participants read predictive stories in English that made ...
Contextual diversity favors the learning of new words in children regardless of their comprehension skills
(ELSEVIER, 2022)
Recent research has shown the benefits of high contextual diversity,
defined as the number of different contexts in which a word
appears, when incidentally learning new words. These benefits
have been found both in ...
Robust Lexically Mediated Compensation for Coarticulation: Christmash Time Is Here Again
(Cognitive Science, 2021)
A long-standing question in cognitive science is how high-level knowledge is integrated with sensory
input. For example, listeners can leverage lexical knowledge to interpret an ambiguous speech
sound, but do such effects ...
The presence of a foreign accent introduces lexical integration difficulties during late semantic processing
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2021)
Previous research suggests that native listeners may be more tolerant to syntactic errors when they
are produced in a foreign accent. However, studies investigating this topic within the semantic
domain remain conflicting. ...
