Mutual influences between native and non-native vowels in production: Evidence from short-term visual articulatory feedback training
(Journal of Phonetics, 2016)We studied mutual influences between native and non-native vowel production during learning, i.e., before and after short-term visual articulatory feedback training with non-native sounds. Monolingual French speakers were ... -
Native Language Influence in the Segmentation of a Novel Language
(Language Learning and Development, 2016)A major problem in second language acquisition (SLA) is the segmentation of fluent speech in the target language, i.e., detecting the boundaries of phonological constituents like words and phrases in the speech stream. ... -
Neglectful maternal caregiving involves altered brain volume in empathy-related areas
(Development and Psychopathology, 2020)The maternal brain undergoes adaptations to sensitive caregiving that are critical for infant well-being.We investigated structural alterations associated with neglectful caregiving and their effects on mother–child ... -
Neocortical activity tracks the hierarchical linguistic structures of self-produced speech during reading aloud
(NeuroImage, 2020)How the human brain uses self-generated auditory information during speech production is rather unsettled. Current theories of language production consider a feedback monitoring system that monitors the auditory consequences ... -
Neural bases of learning and recognition of statistical regularities
(Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2020)Statistical learning is a set of cognitive mechanisms allowing for extracting regularities from the environment and segmenting continuous sensory input into discrete units. The current study used functional magnetic ... -
Neural basis of social attention: common and distinct mechanisms for social and nonsocial orienting stimuli
(OXFORD, 2023)Social and nonsocial directional stimuli (such as gaze and arrows, respectively) share their ability to trigger attentional processes, although the issue of whether social stimuli generate other additional (and unique) ... -
Neural correlates of correct and failed response inhibition in heavy versus light social drinkers: an fMRI study during a go/no-go task by healthy participants
(Brain Imaging and Behavior, 2017)The ability to suppress responses that are inappropriate, as well as the mechanisms monitoring the accuracy of actions in order to compensate for errors, is central to human behavior. Neural alterations that prevent stopping ... -
Neural correlates of phonological, orthographic and semantic reading processing in dyslexia
(NeuroImage: Clinical, 2018)Developmental dyslexia is one of the most prevalent learning disabilities, thought to be associated with dysfunction in the neural systems underlying typical reading acquisition. Neuroimaging research has shown that readers ... -
Neural dynamics supporting longitudinal plasticity of action naming across languages: MEG evidence from bilingual brain tumor patients
(ELSEVIER, 2023)Previous evidence suggests that distinct ventral and dorsal streams respectively underpin the semantic processing of object and action knowledge. Recently, we found that brain tumor patients with dorsal gliomas in ... -
Neural entrainment to speech and nonspeech in dyslexia: Conceptual replication and extension of previous investigations
(Cortex, 2021)Whether phonological deficits in developmental dyslexia are associated with impaired neural sampling of auditory information is still under debate. Previous findings suggested that dyslexic participants showed atypical ... -
Neural Processing Underlying Executive Functions in Bilinguals: “Heads I Win, Tails You Lose”
(Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021)Many studies have claimed bilingualism strengthens the neural mechanisms that underpin executive functions and enhances cognition in the elderly (Bialystok, 2017). Nevertheless, the field of bilingualism research has ... -
Neural substrates of subphonemic variation and lexical competition in spoken word recognition
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2019)In spoken word recognition, subphonemic variation influences lexical activation, with sounds near a category boundary increasing phonetic competition as well as lexical competition. The current study investigated the ... -
Neurobiological signatures of L2 proficiency: Evidence from a bi-directional cross-linguistic study
(Journal of Neurolinguistics, 2019)Recent evidence has shown that convergence of print and speech processing across a network of primarily left-hemisphere regions of the brain is a predictor of future reading skills in children, and a marker of fluent ... -
Neurocognitive mechanisms supporting the generalization of concepts across languages
(Neuropsychologia, 2021)The neurocognitive mechanisms that support the generalization of semantic representations across different languages remain to be determined. Current psycholinguistic models propose that semantic representations are likely ... -
Neurodevelopmental oscillatory basis of speech processing in noise
(ELSEVIER, 2023)Humans’ extraordinary ability to understand speech in noise relies on multiple processes that develop with age. Using magnetoencephalography (MEG), we characterize the underlying neuromaturational basis by quantifying how ... -
Neurogenetic traits outline vulnerability to cortical disruption in Parkinson’s disease
(Elsevier, 2022)The genetic traits that underlie vulnerability to neuronal damage across specific brain circuits in Parkinson’s disease (PD) remain to be elucidated. In this study, we characterized the brain topological intersection ... -
Neuropsychological evaluation of pragmatics in a patient with acquired brain injury
(Academia Mexicana de Neurologia, 2017)Studies in patients with brain injury have provided to clinical practice a wide range of valuable language assessment tools and rehabilitation strategies. In contrast, the ability to make a proper use of language adapted ... -
No evidence of fast mapping in healthy adults using an implicit memory measure: failures to replicate the lexical competition results of Coutanche and Thompson-Schill (2014)
(Taylor & Francis, 2023)Fast mapping (FM) is a hypothetical, incidental learning process that allows rapid acquisition of new words. Using an implicit reaction time measure in a FM paradigm, Coutanche and Thompson-Schill (Coutanche, M. N., & ... -
No “Self” Advantage for Audiovisual Speech Aftereffects
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2019)Although the default state of the world is that we see and hear other people talking, there is evidence that seeing and hearing ourselves rather than someone else may lead to visual (i.e., lip-read) or auditory “self” ... -
Noise Modulates Crosslinguistic Effects on Second-Language Auditory Word Recognition
(ASHA, 2023)Purpose: This study investigates whether crosslinguistic effects on auditory word recognition are modulated by the quality of the auditory signal (clear and noisy). Method: In an online experiment, a group of Spanish–English ...
