The effects of motivational reward on the pathological attentional blink following right hemisphere stroke
(Neuropsychologia, 2016)Recent work has shown that attentional deficits following stroke can be modulated by motivational stimulation, particularly anticipated monetary reward. Here we examined the effects of anticipated reward on the pathological ... -
The effects of multi-echo fMRI combination and rapid T 2 ∗ -mapping on offline and real-time BOLD sensitivity
(NeuroImage, 2021)A variety of strategies are used to combine multi-echo functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data, yet recent literature lacks a systematic comparison of the available options. Here we compare six different approaches ... -
The Effects of Orthography on the Pronunciation of Nasal Vowels by L1 Japanese Learners of L3 French: Evidence from a Longitudinal Study of Speech in Interaction
(MDPI, 2024)In recent decades, a vast literature has documented crosslinguistic influences on the acquisition of L2 phonology and in particular the effects of spelling on pronunciation. However, articulating these research findings ... -
The Emotional Impact of Being Myself: Emotions and Foreign-Language Processing
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016)Native languages are acquired in emotionally rich contexts, whereas foreign languages are typically acquired in emotionally neutral academic environments. As a consequence of this difference, it has been suggested that ... -
The ERP signature of the contextual diversity effect in visual word recognition
(Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2017)Behavioral experiments have revealed that words appearing in many different contexts are responded to faster than words that appear in few contexts. Although this contextual diversity (CD) effect has been found to be ... -
The genetic architecture of language functional connectivity
(ELSEVIER, 2022)Language is a unique trait of the human species, of which the genetic architecture remains largely unknown. Through language disorders studies, many candidate genes were identified. However, such complex and multi- factorial ... -
The human connectome project for disordered emotional states: Protocol and rationale for a research domain criteria study of brain connectivity in young adult anxiety and depression
(NeuroImage, 2020)Through the Human Connectome Project (HCP) our understanding of the functional connectome of the healthy brain has been dramatically accelerated. Given the pressing public health need, we must increase our understanding ... -
The impact of bilingualism on executive functions and working memory in young adults
(PLOS ONE, 2019)A bilingual advantage in a form of a better performance of bilinguals in tasks tapping into executive function abilities has been reported repeatedly in the literature. However, recent research defends that this advantage ... -
The Impact of Character Complexity on Chinese Literacy:A Generalized Additive Modeling Approach
(Taylor & Francis, 2024)Purpose: We examined the effect of character complexity on early Chineseliteracy (word reading and writing). We also investigated whether cognitiveskills (phonological awareness, morphological awareness, and rapid automa-tized ... -
The impact of foreign accent on irony interpretation
(PLoS ONE, 2018)In modern multi-cultural societies, conversations between foreign speakers and native listeners have become very common. These exchanges often include the use of figurative language. The present study examines, for the ... -
The impact of orthographic forms on speech production and perception: An artificial vowel-learning study
(ELSEVIER, 2022)This study investigates the effect of orthographic forms on phonetic aspects of isolated speech sound production and perception. Three groups of 25 L1-Spanish speakers were exposed to /y/ and /e/ in a multi-session ... -
The Influence of Emotional and Foreign Language Context in Content Learning
(Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2020)Prior research has found reduced emotionality with foreign language use, especially with single words, but what happens if emotionality is conveyed throughout a longer text? Does emotionality affect how well we remember ... -
The late positive potential (LPP): A neural marker of internalizing problems in early childhood
(International Journal of Psychophysiology, 2020)Background: One potentially relevant neurophysiological marker of internalizing problems (anxiety/depressive symptoms) is the late positive potential (LPP), as it is related to processing of emotional stimuli. For the ... -
The long road of statistical learning research: past, present and future
(Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society: Biological Sciences, 2017)... -
The neuroanatomy of bilingualism: how to turn a hazy view into the full picture
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)The neuroanatomical bases of bilingualism have recently received intensive attention. However, it is still a matter of debate how the brain structure changes due to bilingual experience since current findings are highly ... -
The neurocognitive underpinnings of the Simon effect: An integrative review of current research
(Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2020)For as long as half a century the Simon task – in which participants respond to a nonspatial stimulus feature while ignoring its position – has represented a very popular tool to study a variety of cognitive functions, ... -
The Neurolinguistics of the Second Language Morphological System: The Role of Grammar-Related and Speaker-Related Factors
(Taylor & Francis, 2023)This chapter provides an overview of the neural correlates related to second language morphological processing, by integrating recent empirical evidence coming from event-related potentials, functional magnetic resonance ... -

The presence of a foreign accent introduces lexical integration difficulties during late semantic processing
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2021)Previous research suggests that native listeners may be more tolerant to syntactic errors when they are produced in a foreign accent. However, studies investigating this topic within the semantic domain remain conflicting. ... -
The proactive bilingual brain: Using interlocutor identity to generate predictions for language processing
(Scientific Reports, 2016)The present study investigated the proactive nature of the human brain in language perception. Specifically, we examined whether early proficient bilinguals can use interlocutor identity as a cue for language prediction, ...
