In Search of Variables Explaining Individual Differences in Second Language Learning and Processing: A Commentary on “The Neurocognitive Underpinnings of Second Language Processing: Knowledge Gains From the Past and Future Outlook”
(WILEY, 2023)In her review article “The Neurocognitive Underpinnings of Second LanguageProcessing: Knowledge Gains from the Past and Future Outlook,” Distin-guished Professor Janet van Hell presented a rigorous review of the mostprominent ... -
Inaccurate cortical tracking of speech in adults with impaired speech perception in noise
(Brain Communications, 2021)Impaired speech perception in noise despite normal peripheral auditory function is a common problem in young adults. Despite a growing body of research, the pathophysiology of this impairment remains unknown. This ... -
Incidental changes in orthographic processing in the native language as a function of learning a new language late in life
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2021)Acquiring a second alphabetic language also entails learning a new set of orthographic rules and specific patterns of grapheme combinations (namely, the orthotactics). The present longitudinal study aims to investigate ... -
Increased top-down semantic processing in natural speech linked to better reading in dyslexia
(ELSEVIER, 2023)Early research proposed that individuals with developmental dyslexia use contextual information to facilitate lexical access and compensate for phonological deficits. Yet at present there is no corroborating neuro-cognitive ... -
Infants use phonetic detail in speech perception and word learning when detail is easy to perceive
(Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2020)Infants successfully discriminate speech sound contrasts that belong to their native language’s phonemic inventory in auditory-only paradigms, but they encounter difficulties in distinguishing the same contrasts in the ... -
Infants’ Lexical Processing: Independent Contributions of Attentional and Clarity Cues
(Taylor & Francis, 2024)There is a long-standing debate in the literature about the benefits thatacoustic components of Infant Directed Speech (IDS) might have for infants’language acquisition. One of the highly contested features is vowel ... -
Infants’ Sensitivity to Lexical Tone and Word Stress in Their First Year: A Thai and English Cross- Language Study
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)Non-tone language infants’ native language recognition is based first on supra-segmental then segmental cues, but this trajectory is unknown for tone-language infants. This study investigated non-tone (English) and ... -
Infant‐directed speech to infants at risk for dyslexia: A novel cross‐dyad design
(Wiley, 2020)When mothers speak to infants at risk for developmental dyslexia, they do not hyperarticulate vowels in their infant‐directed speech (IDS). Here, we used an innovative cross‐dyad design to investigate whether the absence ... -
Information‑seeking across auditory scenes by an echolocating dolphin
(SPRINGER, 2022)Dolphins gain information through echolocation, a publicly accessible sensory system in which dolphins produce clicks and process returning echoes, thereby both investigating and contributing to auditory scenes. How their ... -
Informative neural representations of unseen contents during higher-order processing in human brains and deep artificial networks
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2022)A framework to pinpoint the scope of unconscious processing is critical to improve models of visual consciousness. Previous research observed brain signatures of unconscious processing in visual cortex, but these were not ... -
Inhibitory and facilitatory effects of phonological and orthographic similarity on L2 word recognition across modalities in bilinguals
(Scientific Reports, 2021)Language perception studies on bilinguals often show that words that share form and meaning across languages (cognates) are easier to process than words that share only meaning. This facilitatory phenomenon is known as the ... -
Inhibitory Control for Emotional and Neutral Scenes in Competition: An Eye-Tracking Study in Bipolar Disorder
(Biological Psychology, 2017)This study examined the inhibitory control of attention to social scenes in manic, depressive, and euthymic episodes of bipolar disorder (BD). Two scenes were simultaneously presented (happy/threatening/neutral [target] ... -
Input quality and speech perception development in bilingual infants' first year of life
(WILEY, 2022)Individual differences in infants’ native phonological development have been linked to the quantity and quality of infant-directed speech (IDS). The effects of parental and infant bilingualism on this relation in 131 ... -
Insights from bimodal bilingualism: Reply to commentaries
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2016)The commentaries on our Keynote article “Psycholinguistic, cognitive, and neural implications of bimodal bilingualism” were enthusiastic about what can be learned by studying bilinguals who acquire two languages that are ... -
Insights into the genetic architecture of cerebellar lobules derived from the UK Biobank
(NATURE, 2024)In this work we endeavor to further understand the genetic architecture of the cerebellum by examining the genetic underpinnings of the different cerebellar lob(ul)es, identifying their genetic relation to cortical and ... -
Integrating Bilingualism, Verbal Fluency, and Executive Functioning across the Lifespan
(Journal of Cognition and Development, 2019)Bilingual experience has an impact on an individual’s linguistic processing and general cognitive abilities. The relation between these linguistic and non-linguistic domains, in turn, is mediated by individual linguistic ... -
Integrating statistical learning into cognitive science
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2020)Over the last two decades statistical learning (SL) has evolved into a key explanatory mechanism underlying the incidental learning of regularities across different domains of cognition, such as language, visual and ... -
Interactions between functional networks in Parkinson's disease mild cognitive impairment
(NATURE, 2023)The study of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is critical to understand the underlying processes of cognitive decline in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Functional connectivity (FC) disruptions in PD-MCI patients have been observed ... -
Interactions between native and non-native vowels in French-Danish contact: production training study
(Romance-Germanic Bilingual Phonology. Equinox eBooks Publishing, United Kingdom., 2017)Speakers who acquire a foreign language (L2) in adulthood (and even earlier), often experience major difficulties in producing non-native speech sounds, a phenomenon commonly known as having a foreign accent. These ... -
Interactions between phasic alerting and consciousness in the fronto-striatal network
(Scientific Reports, 2016)Only a small fraction of all the information reaching our senses can be the object of conscious report or voluntary action. Although some models propose that different attentional states (top-down amplification and ...
