Are go/no-go tasks preferable to two-choice tasks in response time experiments with older adults?
(Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 2016)Recent research has shown that, in response time (RT) tasks, the go/no-go response procedure produces faster (and less noisy) RTs and fewer errors than the two-choice response procedure in children, although these ... -
Do handwritten words magnify lexical effects in visual word recognition?
(The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2016)An examination of how the word recognition system is able to process handwritten words is fundamental to formulate a comprehensive model of visual word recognition. Previous research has revealed that the magnitude of ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Simultaneous Bayesian correction of slab boundary artifacts and bias field for high resolution ex vivo MRI
(IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI), 2016)Multi-slab MRI overcomes some of the hardware limitations of today's clinical scanners (e.g., memory size), enabling the acquisition of ultra-high resolution ex vivo MRI of the whole human brain with high SNR efficiency. ... -
How and When Does the Second Language Influence the Production of Native Speech Sounds: A Literature Review
(Language Learning, 2016)In bilinguals and second language learners, the native (L1) and nonnative (L2) languages coexist and interact. The L1 influences L2 production via forward transfer, as is seen with foreign accents. However, language ... -
The Role of Morphological Markedness in the Processing of Number and Gender Agreement in Spanish: An Event-Related Potential Investigation
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)Current morphological theory assumes that feature values, such as masculine and feminine or singular and plural, are asymmetrically represented. That is, one member of the opposition (e.g. feminine for gender, plural for ... -
Some people are ‘‘More Lexical” than others
(Cognition, 2016)People can understand speech under poor conditions, even when successive pieces of the waveform are flipped in time. Using a new method to measure perception of such stimuli, we show that words with sounds based on rapid ... -
Disparate semantic ambiguity effects from semantic processing dynamics rather than qualitative task differences
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)A core challenge in the semantic ambiguity literature is understanding why the number and relatedness among a word’s interpretations are associated with different effects in different tasks. An influential account (Hino ... -
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 ... -
Does bilingualism shape inhibitory control in the elderly?
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2016)Bilingualism has been argued to benefit executive functioning. However, recent research suggests that this advantage may stem from uncontrolled factors or incorrectly matched samples. In this study we test the effects of ... -
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 ... -
Insights from bimodal bilingualism: Reply to commentaries
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2016)The commentaries on our Keynote article “Psycholinguistic, cognitive, and neural implications of bimodal bilingualism” were enthusiastic about what can be learned by studying bilinguals who acquire two languages that are ... -
Is conscious awareness needed for all working memory processes?
(Neuroscience of Consciousness, 2016)Stein and colleagues argue there is no yet conclusive evidence for nonconscious working memory (WM) and that is critical to probeWMwhile ensuring null sensitivity to memory cues. While this stringent approach reduces the ... -
Holiday or vacation? The processing of variation in vocabulary across dialects
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)Native speakers with different linguistic backgrounds differ in their usage of language, and particularly in their vocabulary. For instance, British natives would use the word "holiday" when American natives would prefer ... -
Is there a common oscillatory brain mechanism for producing and predicting language?
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)Recent proposals have suggested that language prediction is supported by the neurophysiological mechanisms involved in language production. Both prediction and production in language imply information processing percolating ... -
World knowledge integration during second language comprehension
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)In order to study the difficulties experienced during sentence comprehension in a foreign language (L2), we investigated semantic and world knowledge information retrieval in L2 comprehenders. Event-related potentials ... -
Cross-linguistic interactions influence reading development in bilinguals: a comparison between early balanced French-Basque and Spanish-Basque bilingual children
(Developmental Science, 2016)This study investigates whether orthographic consistency and transparency of languages have an impact on the development of reading strategies and reading sub-skills (i.e. phonemic awareness and visual attention span) in ... -
On the overlap between bilingual language control and domain-general executive control
(Acta Psychologica, 2016)We explored the overlap between bilingual language control (bLC) and domain-general executive control (EC) by focusing on inhibitory control processes. We tested 62 bilinguals in linguistic and non-linguistic switching tasks ... -
Bayesian longitudinal segmentation of hippocampal substructures in brain MRI using subject-specific atlases
(NeuroImage, 2016)The hippocampal formation is a complex, heterogeneous structure that consists of a number of distinct, interacting subregions. Atrophy of these subregions is implied in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, most ...
