Cross-linguistic interactions influence reading development in bilinguals: a comparison between early balanced French-Basque and Spanish-Basque bilingual children
(Developmental Science, 2016)
This study investigates whether orthographic consistency and transparency of languages have an impact on the development of
reading strategies and reading sub-skills (i.e. phonemic awareness and visual attention span) in ...
Language dominance shapes non-linguistic rhythmic grouping in bilinguals
(Cognition, 2016)
To what degree non-linguistic auditory rhythm perception is governed by universal biases (e.g., Iambic-
Trochaic Law; Hayes, 1995) or shaped by native language experience is debated. It has been proposed
that rhythmic ...
Cross-language and cross-modal activation in hearing bimodal bilinguals
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2016)
This study investigates cross-language and cross-modal activation in bimodal bilinguals.
Two groups of hearing bimodal bilinguals, natives (Experiment 1) and late learners
(Experiment 2), for whom spoken Spanish is their ...
Stereotypes override grammar: Social knowledge in sentence comprehension
(Brain & Language, 2016)
Many studies have provided evidence for the automaticity and immediacy with which stereotypical knowledge affects our behavior. However, less is known about how such social knowledge interacts with linguistic cues during ...
“Hazy” or “jumbled”? Putting together the pieces of the bilingual puzzle
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)
Six commentaries [Bialystok, E. (2015). How hazy views become full pictures. Language, Cognition
and Neuroscience. doi:10.1080/23273798.2015.1074255; de Bruin, A., & Della Sala, S. (2015) The
importance of language use ...
When “He” Can Also Be “She”: An ERP Study of Reflexive Pronoun Resolution in Written Mandarin Chinese
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)
The gender information in written Chinese third person pronouns is not symmetrically encoded: the character for “he” (yes, with semantic radical yes, meaning human) is used as a default referring to every individual, while ...
Listening to Accented Speech in a Second Language: First Language and Age of Acquisition Effects
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016)
Bilingual speakers must acquire the phonemic inventory of 2 languages and need to recognize spoken
words cross-linguistically; a demanding job potentially made even more difficult due to dialectal
variation, an intrinsic ...
Is conscious awareness needed for all working memory processes?
(Neuroscience of Consciousness, 2016)
Stein and colleagues argue there is no yet conclusive evidence for nonconscious working memory (WM) and that is critical
to probeWMwhile ensuring null sensitivity to memory cues. While this stringent approach reduces the ...
Relative meaning frequencies for 578 homonyms in two Spanish dialects: A cross-linguistic extension of the English eDom norms
(Behavior Research Methods, 2016)
Relative meaning frequency is a critical factor to
consider in studies of semantic ambiguity. In this work, we
examined how this measure may change across the European
and Rioplatense dialects of Spanish, as well as how ...
Lexical representations are malleable for about one second: Evidence for the non-automaticity of perceptual recalibration
(Cognitive Psychology, 2016)
In listening to speech, people have been shown to apply several
types of adjustment to their phonemic categories that take into
account variations in the prevailing linguistic environment. These
adjustments include ...
