White matter microstructure of attentional networks predicts attention and consciousness functional interactions
(Brain Structure and Function, 2018)
Attention is considered as one of the pre-requisites of conscious perception. Phasic alerting and exogenous orienting improve conscious perception of near-threshold information through segregated brain networks. Using a ...
On the bilingualism effect in task switching∗
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2018)
In one task-switching experiment, we compared bilinguals and monolinguals to explore the reliability of the bilingualism effect on the n-2 repetition cost. In a second task-switching experiment, we tested another group of ...
Effects of age on inhibitory control are affected by task-specific features
(Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2018)
Older adults have been argued to have impoverished inhibitory control compared to younger adults. However, these effects of age may depend on processing speed and their manifestation may furthermore depend on the type of ...
Top-down beta oscillatory signaling conveys behavioral context in early visual cortex.
(Scientific Reports, 2018)
Top-down modulation of sensory processing is a critical neural mechanism subserving numerous important cognitive roles, one of which may be to inform lower-order sensory systems of the current ‘task at hand’ by conveying ...
Is Bilingualism Associated With Enhanced Executive Functioning in Adults? A Meta-Analytic Review
(Psychological Bulletin, 2018)
Because of enduring experience of managing two languages, bilinguals have been argued to develop superior executive functioning compared with monolinguals. Despite extensive investigation, there is, however, no consensus ...
The effect of foreign language in fear acquisition
(Scientific Reports, 2018)
Emotions are at the core of human nature. There is evidence that emotional reactivity in foreign languages compared to native languages is reduced. We explore whether this emotional distance could modulate fear conditioning, ...
Exploring Different Types of Inhibition During Bilingual Language Production
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2018)
Multilinguals have to control their languages constantly to produce accurate verbal output. They have to inhibit possible lexical competitors not only from the target language, but also from non-target languages. Bilinguals’ ...
Theta oscillations mediate preactivation of highly expected word initial phonemes
(Scientific Reports, 2018)
Prediction has been proposed to be a fundamental neurocognitive mechanism. However, its role in language comprehension is currently under debate. In this magnetoencephalography study we aimed to find evidence of word-form ...
MultiPic: A standardized set of 750 drawings with norms for six European languages
(Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2018)
Numerous studies in psychology, cognitive neuroscience and psycholinguistics have used pictures of objects as stimulus
materials. Currently, authors engaged in cross-linguistic work or wishing to run parallel studies at ...
