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 ... -
The time course of processing handwritten words: An ERP investigation
(Neuropsychologia, 2021)Behavioral studies have shown that the legibility of handwritten script hinders visual word recognition. Furthermore, when compared with printed words, lexical effects (e.g., word-frequency effect) are magnified for less ... -
The tone atlas of perceptual discriminability and perceptual distance: Four tone languages and five language groups
(ELSEVIER, 2022)Some prior investigations suggest that tone perception is flexible, reasonably independent of native phonology, whereas others suggest it is constrained by native phonology. We address this issue in a systematic and ... -
Theta oscillations mediate preactivation of highly expected word initial phonemes
(Scientific Reports, 2018)Prediction has been proposed to be a fundamental neurocognitive mechanism. However, its role in language comprehension is currently under debate. In this magnetoencephalography study we aimed to find evidence of word-form ... -
Theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling in auditory cortex is modulated by language proficiency
(WILEY, 2023)The coordination between the theta phase (3–7 Hz) and gamma power (25–35 Hz) oscillations (namely theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling, PAC) in the auditory cortex has been proposed as an essential neural mechanism ... -
Think twice: Re-assessing confidence improves visual metacognition
(SPRINGER, 2024)Metacognition is a fundamental feature of human behavior that has adaptive functional value. Current understanding of the factors that influence metacognition remains incomplete, and we lack protocols to improve metacognition. ... -
Third-language learning affects bilinguals’ production in both their native languages: A longitudinal study of dynamic changes in L1, L2 and L3 vowel production
(Journal of Phonetics, 2019)This study examined the impact of a study abroad (SA) English program on English and native vowel production. Basque-Spanish bilingual adolescents were assessed on their vowel production in English, Basque and Spanish ... -
Time-Resolved Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Analysis: Current Status, Challenges, and New Directions
(Brain Connectivity, 2017)Time-resolved analysis of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data allows researchers to extract more information about brain function than traditional functional connectivity analysis, yet a ... -
Toddler-directed and adult-directed gesture frequency in monolingual and bilingual caregivers
(SAGE, 2023)Aims and objectives: This study was designed to assess whether bilingual caregivers, compared with monolingual caregivers, modify their nonverbal gestures to match the increased communicative and/or cognitive-linguistic ... -
Top-down beta oscillatory signaling conveys behavioral context in early visual cortex.
(Scientific Reports, 2018)Top-down modulation of sensory processing is a critical neural mechanism subserving numerous important cognitive roles, one of which may be to inform lower-order sensory systems of the current ‘task at hand’ by conveying ...
