Language modality shapes the dynamics of word and sign recognition
(Cognition, 2019)Spoken words and signs both consist of structured sub-lexical units. While phonemes unfold in time in the case of the spoken signal, visual sub-lexical units such as location and handshape are produced simultaneously in ... -
Language proficiency does not modulate executive control in older bilinguals
(Aging, Neuropsychology, and Cognition, 2019)We examined if language proficiency modulates performance in tasks that measure executive control in older Telugu-English bilinguals (n = 50, mean age = 57.15 years). We administered numerical Stroop task, Attention Network ... -
Language Proficiency Entails Tuning Cortical Activity to Second Language Speech
(Cerebral Cortex, 2021)Cortical tracking of linguistic structures in speech, such as phrases (<3 Hz, delta band) and syllables (3–8 Hz, theta band), is known to be crucial for speech comprehension. However, it has not been established whether ... -
Language specificity in cortical tracking of speech rhythm at the mora, syllable, and foot levels
(NATURE, 2022)Recent research shows that adults’ neural oscillations track the rhythm of the speech signal. However, the extent to which this tracking is driven by the acoustics of the signal, or by language-specific processing remains ... -
Language Switching Across Modalities: Evidence From Bimodal Bilinguals.
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, & Cognition, 2017)This study investigated whether language control during language production in bilinguals generalizes across modalities, and to what extent the language control system is shaped by competition for the same articulators. ... -
Lateralization in the dichotic listening of tones is influenced by the content of speech
(Neuropsychologia, 2020)Cognitive functions, for example speech processing, are distributed asymmetrically in the two hemispheres that mostly have homologous anatomical structures. Dichotic listening is a well-established paradigm to investigate ... -
Learning and Recognition of a Non-conscious Sequence of Events in Human Primary Visual Cortex
Rosenthal, Clive R.; Andrews, Samantha K.; Antoniades, Chrystalina A.; Kennard, Christopher; Soto, David
(Current Biology, 2016)
Human primary visual cortex (V1) has long been associated with learning simple low-level visual discriminations [1] and is classically considered outside of neural systems that support high-level cognitive behavior in ... -
Learning of goal-relevant and -irrelevant complex visual sequences in human V1
Rosenthal, Clive R.; Mallik, Indira; Caballero Gaudes, César; Sereno, Martin I.; Soto, David (NeuroImage, 2018)
Learning and memory are supported by a network involving the medial temporal lobe and linked neocortical regions. Emerging evidence indicates that primary visual cortex (i.e., V1) may contribute to recognition memory, but ... -
Learning to Read Bilingually Modulates the Manifestations of Dyslexia in Adults
(Scientific Studies of Reading, 2018)According to the Grain Size Accommodation hypothesis (Lallier & Carreiras, 2017), learning to read in two languages differing in orthographic consistency leads to a cross-linguistic modulation of reading and spelling ... -
“Left and right prefrontal routes to action comprehension”
(Cortex, 2023)Successful action comprehension requires the integration of motor information and semantic cues about objects in context. Previous evidence suggests that while motor features are dorsally encoded in the fronto-parietal ... -
Left Superior Temporal Gyrus Is Coupled to Attended Speech in a Cocktail-Party Auditory Scene
(The Journal of Neuroscience, 2016)Using a continuous listening task, we evaluated the coupling between the listener’s cortical activity and the temporal envelopes of different sounds in a multitalker auditory scene using magnetoencephalography and ... -
LexFindR: A fast, simple, and extensible R package for finding similar words in a lexicon
(SPRINGER, 2022)Language scientists often need to generate lists of related words, such as potential competitors. Theymay do this for purposes of experimental control (e.g., selecting items matched on lexical neighborhood but varying in ... -
Lexical access versus lexical decision processes for auditory, visual, and audiovisual items: Insights from behavioral and neural measures
(Neuropsychologia, 2020)In two experiments, we investigated the relationship between lexical access processes, and processes that are specifically related to making lexical decisions. In Experiment 1, participants performed a standard lexical ... -
Lexical and Prosodic Pitch Modifications in Cantonese Infant-directed Speech
(Journal of Child Language, 2021)The functions of acoustic-phonetic modifications in infant-directed speech (IDS) remain a question: do they specifically serve to facilitate language learning via enhanced phonemic contrasts (the hyperarticulation ... -
Lexical and sublexical effects on visual word recognition in Greek: comparing human behavior to the dual route cascaded modell
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2017)We evaluated the dual route cascaded (DRC) model of visual word recognition using Greek behavioural data on word and nonword naming and lexical decision, focusing on the effects of syllable and bigram frequency. DRC was ... -
Lexical Feedback in the Time-Invariant String Kernel (TISK) Model of Spoken Word Recognition
(UBIQUITY PRESS, 2024)The Time-Invariant String Kernel (TISK) model of spoken word recognition (Hannagan, Magnuson & Grainger, 2013; You & Magnuson, 2018) is an interactive activation model with many similarities to TRACE (McClelland & Elman, ... -
Lexical Information Guides Retuning of Neural Patterns in Perceptual Learning for Speech
(Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2020)A listener's interpretation of a given speech sound can vary probabilistically from moment to moment. Previous experience (i.e., the contexts in which one has encountered an ambiguous sound) can further influence the ... -
Lexical organization of language-ambiguous and language-specific words in bilinguals
(The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2016)Previous research has shown the importance of sublexical orthographic cues in determining the language of a given word when the two languages of a bilingual reader share the same script. In this study, we explored the ... -
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 ... -
Lexico-semantic access and audiovisual integration in the aging brain: Insights from mixed-effects regression analyses of event-related potentials
(ELSEVIER, 2022)We investigated how aging modulates lexico-semantic processes in the visual (seeing written items), auditory (hearing spoken items) and audiovisual (seeing written items while hearing congruent spoken items) modalities. ...
