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, ... -
The Processing of Spanish Article– Noun Gender Agreement by Monolingual and Bilingual Toddlers
(Language and Speech, 2021)We assessed monolingual Spanish and bilingual Spanish-Basque toddlers’ sensitivity to gender agreement in correct vs. incorrect Spanish noun phrases (definite article + noun), using a spontaneous preference listening ... -
The relation between working memory and language comprehension in signers and speakers
(Acta Psychologica, 2017)This study investigated the relation between linguistic and spatial working memory (WM) resources and language comprehension for signed compared to spoken language. Sign languages are both linguistic and visualspatial, and ... -
The Relationship Between Phonemic Category Boundary Changes and Perceptual Adjustments to Natural Accents
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020)People often experience difficulties when they first hear a novel accent. Prior research has shown that relatively fast natural accent accommodation can occur. However, there has been little investigation of the underlying ... -
The role of crosslinguistic differences in second language anticipatory processing: An event-related potentials study
(Neuropsychologia, 2021)The present study uses event-related potentials to investigate how crosslinguistic (dis)similarities modulate anticipatory processing in the second language (L2). Participants read predictive stories in English that made ... -
The Role of Education in Executive Functions, Behavioral Problems and Functional Performance in People With Schizophrenia
(Neuropsychology, 2021)This cross-sectional study examined the influence of education on executive functions, behavioral problems and functional performance in people with chronic schizophrenia. Method: Our sample was composed of 116 subjects ... -
The role of letter features in visual-word recognition: Evidence from a delayed segment technique
(Acta Psychologica, 2016)Do all visual features in aword's constituent letters have the same importance during lexical access? Herewe examined whether some components of a word's letters (midsegments, junctions, terminals) are more important than ... -
The role of metacognition in monitoring performance and regulating learning in early readers
(SPRINGER, 2022)Metacognition refers to the capacity to reflect upon our own cognitive processes. Its contribution to reading development, when children start building their orthographic lexicon, still remains unknown. Here, we evaluate ... -
The role of metacognition in recognition of the content of statistical learning
(Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2021)Despite theoretical debate on the extent to which statistical learning is incidental or modulated by explicit instructions and conscious awareness of the content of statistical learning, no study has ever investigated the ... -
The Role of Native Language and the Fundamental Design of the Auditory System in Detecting Rhythm Changes
(Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing, 2019)Purpose: We investigated whether rhythm discrimination is mainly driven by the native language of the listener or by the fundamental design of the human auditory system and universal cognitive mechanisms shared by all ... -
The Role of Paired Associate Learning in Acquiring Letter-Sound Correspondences: A Longitudinal Study of Children at Family Risk for Dyslexia
(Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021)Visual-verbal-paired associate learning (PAL) is strongly related to reading acquisition, possibly indexing a distinct cross-modal mechanism for learning letter-sound associations. We measured linguistic abilities (nonword ... -
The role of preview validity in predictability and frequency effects on eye movements in reading
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019)A word’s predictability, as measured by its cloze probability, has a robust influence on the time a reader’s eyes spend on the word, with more predictable words receiving shorter fixations. However, several previous studies ... -
The role of reading experience in atypical cortical tracking of speech and speech-in-noise in dyslexia
(ELSEVIER, 2022)Dyslexia is a frequent developmental disorder in which reading acquisition is delayed and that is usually associ- ated with difficulties understanding speech in noise. At the neuronal level, children with dyslexia were ... -
The Role of Slow Speech Amplitude Envelope for Speech Processing and Reading Development
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2017)This study examined the putative link between the entrainment to the slow rhythmic structure of speech, speech intelligibility and reading by means of a behavioral paradigm. Two groups of 20 children (Grades 2 and 5) ... -
The role of visual feedback in detecting and correcting typing errors: A signal detection approach
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2021)This study examined the role of external information in monitoring language production. In a typing-to-dictation task, participants were deprived of all or part of visual feedback. Data were analyzed using signal ... -
The Scientific Study of Consciousness Cannot and Should Not Be Morally Neutral
(SAGE, 2023)A target question for the scientific study of consciousness is how dimensions of consciousness, such as the ability to feel pain and pleasure or reflect on one’s own experience, vary in different states and animal species. ... -
The Spanish General Knowledge Norms
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)This study introduces the Spanish adaptation of the General Knowledge Norms first created by Nelson and Narens (1980) and updated by Tauber et al. (2013). Following a procedure akin to that used in preceding studies and ... -
The specificity of the neural response to speech at birth
(http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/%28ISSN%291467-7687, 2018)In this work we ask whether at birth, the human brain responds uniquely to speech, or if similar activation also occurs to a non-speech surrogate ‘language’. We compare neural activation in newborn infants to the language ...
