Enhancing reading performance through action video games: the role of visual attention span
(Scientific Reports, 2017)Recent studies reported that Action Video Game-AVG training improves not only certain attentional components, but also reading fluency in children with dyslexia. We aimed to investigate the shared attentional components ... -
Evaluating the Reliability of Human Brain White Matter Tractometry
(Minor White, 2021)The validity of research results depends on the reliability of analysis methods. In recent years, there have been concerns about the validity of research that uses diffusion-weighted MRI (dMRI) to understand human brain ... -
Evaluation of multi-echo ICA denoising for task based fMRI studies: Block designs, rapid event-related designs, and cardiac-gated fMRI
(NeuroImage, 2016)Multi-echo fMRI, particularly the multi-echo independent component analysis (ME-ICA) algorithm, has previously proven useful for increasing the sensitivity and reducing false positives for functional MRI (fMRI) based resting ... -
Event-related potentials in the study of L2 sentence processing: A scoping review of the decade 2010-2020
(Taylor & Francis, 2023)Event-related potentials (ERPs) have become widespread in second language acquisition (SLA) research and a growing body of literature has been produced in recent years. We surveyed 61 SLA papers that use ERPs to study L2 ... -
Event-Related Potentials Reveal Altered Executive Control Activity in Healthy Elderly With Subjective Memory Complaints
(Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018)Several studies reported that healthy elderly with subjective memory complaints (SMC) evolve to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) more frequently than elderly without subjective memory decline. In the present study, we investigated ... -
Everyday language input and production in 1001 children from 6 continents
(PNAS, 2023)Language is a universal human ability, acquired readily by young children, who otherwise struggle with many basics of survival. And yet, language ability is variable across individuals. Naturalistic and experimental ... -
Evidence and implications of abnormal predictive coding in dementia
(Brain, 2021)The diversity of cognitive deficits and neuropathological processes associated with dementias has encouraged divergence in pathophysiological explanations of disease. Here, we review an alternative framework that emphasizes ... -
Evidence for a bimodal bilingual disadvantage in letter fluency
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2017)Many bimodal bilinguals are immersed in a spoken language-dominant environment from an early age and, unlike unimodal bilinguals, do not necessarily divide their language use between languages. Nonetheless, early ASL–English ... -
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 ... -
¿Existen diferencias entre los formantes de [ə] y [ɯ] en el mapudungun hablado por niños bilingües del Alto Bío-Bío?
(Onomázein, 2021)Los primeros estudios sobre la sexta vocal del mapudungun, de corte articulatorio, la han asociado con dos alófonos: uno central [ə] y otro posterior [ɯ]. Sin embargo, las aproximaciones acústicas no reportan un alófono ... -
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’ ... -
Exploring effects of social information on talker-independent accent adaptation
(ASA, 2023)The present study examined whether race information about speakers can promote rapid and generalizable perceptual adaptation to second-language accent. First-language English listeners were presented with Cantonese-accented ... -
Exploring the temporal dynamics of speech production with EEG and group ICA
(Scientific Reports, 2020)Speech production is a complex skill whose neural implementation relies on a large number of different regions in the brain. How neural activity in these different regions varies as a function of time during the production ... -
Fast and sequence-adaptive whole-brain segmentation using parametric Bayesian modeling
(NeuroImage, 2016)Quantitative analysis of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the brain requires accurate automated segmentation of anatomical structures. A desirable feature for such segmentation methods is to be robust against ... -
Feasibility and reproducibility of electroencephalography-based corticokinematic coherence
(Journal of Neurophysiology, 2020)Corticokinematic coherence (CKC) is the phase coupling between limb kinematics and cortical neurophysiological signals, reflecting cortical processing of proprioceptive afference, and it is reproducible when estimated with ... -
Feature generalization in Dutch–German bilingual and monolingual children’s speech production
(SAGE, 2022)Dutch and German employ voicing contrasts, but Dutch lacks the ‘voiced’ dorsal plosive /ɡ/. We exploited this accidental phonological gap, measuring the presence of prevoicing and voice onset time durations during speech ... -
Feature-Based Attention Samples Stimuli Rhythmically
(Current Biology, 2019)Attention supports the allocation of resources to relevant locations and objects in a scene. Under most conditions, several stimuli compete for neural representation. Attention biases neural representation toward the ... -
Feature-Based Attentional Weighting and Re-weighting in the Absence of Visual Awareness
(Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021)Visual attention evolved as an adaptive mechanism allowing us to cope with a rapidly changing environment. It enables the facilitated processing of relevant information, often automatically and governed by implicit motives. ... -
Features matter: the role of number and gender features during the online processing of subject- and object- relative clauses in Italian
(Taylor & Francis, 2023-12-28)In this study, we investigated whether different morphosyntactic features, i.e. number and gender, play a role during the adult online comprehension of subject relative clauses (SRC) and object relative clauses (ORC), in ... -
Finding identity in the midst of ambiguity: case and number disambiguation in Basque
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2020)Restrictive contextual information has been found to bias syntactic disambiguation, when only one alternative leads to a meaningful interpretation. The current study tests whether disambiguation can be influenced by ...
