Lexical and sublexical effects on visual word recognition in Greek: comparing human behavior to the dual route cascaded modell
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2017)We evaluated the dual route cascaded (DRC) model of visual word recognition using Greek behavioural data on word and nonword naming and lexical decision, focusing on the effects of syllable and bigram frequency. DRC was ... -
Lexical Information Guides Retuning of Neural Patterns in Perceptual Learning for Speech
(Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2020)A listener's interpretation of a given speech sound can vary probabilistically from moment to moment. Previous experience (i.e., the contexts in which one has encountered an ambiguous sound) can further influence the ... -
Lexical organization of language-ambiguous and language-specific words in bilinguals
(The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2016)Previous research has shown the importance of sublexical orthographic cues in determining the language of a given word when the two languages of a bilingual reader share the same script. In this study, we explored the ... -
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 ... -
Lexico-semantic access and audiovisual integration in the aging brain: Insights from mixed-effects regression analyses of event-related potentials
(ELSEVIER, 2022)We investigated how aging modulates lexico-semantic processes in the visual (seeing written items), auditory (hearing spoken items) and audiovisual (seeing written items while hearing congruent spoken items) modalities. ... -
Lexiland: A Tablet-based Universal Screener for Reading Difficulties in the School Context
(SAGE, 2022)Massive and timely screening of the student population for early signs of reading difficulties is needed to implement timely effective remediation of these difficulties. However, traditional approaches are costly and hard ... -
Limbic-visual attenuation to crying faces underlies neglectful mothering
(Scientific Reports, 2019)Neglectful mothering is one of the most common forms of childhood maltreatment, involving a severe disregard of the child’s needs, yet little is known about its neural substrate. A child’s needs are usually conveyed by ... -
Linguistic entrenchment: Prior knowledge impacts statistical learning performance
(COGNITION, 2018)Statistical Learning (SL) is typically considered to be a domain-general mechanism by which cognitive systems discover the underlying statistical regularities in the input. Recent findings, however, show clear differences ... -
Lip-Reading Enables the Brain to Synthesize Auditory Features of Unknown Silent Speech
(The Journal of Neuroscience, 2020)Lip-reading is crucial for understanding speech in challenging conditions. But how the brain extracts meaning from, silent, visual speech is still under debate. Lip-reading in silence activates the auditory cortices, but ... -
Listener expectations and the perceptual accommodation of talker variability: A pre-registered replication
(Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2021)Researchers have hypothesized that in order to accommodate variability in how talkers produce their speech sounds, listeners must perform a process of talker normalization. Consistent with this proposal, several studies ... -
Listeners beware: Speech production may be bad for learning speech sounds
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2016)Spoken language requires individuals to both perceive and produce speech. Because both processes access lexical and sublexical representations, it is commonly assumed that perception and production involve cooperative ... -
Listening to Accented Speech in a Second Language: First Language and Age of Acquisition Effects
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016)Bilingual speakers must acquire the phonemic inventory of 2 languages and need to recognize spoken words cross-linguistically; a demanding job potentially made even more difficult due to dialectal variation, an intrinsic ... -
Local Temporal Regularities in Child-Directed Speech in Spanish
(ASHA, 2022)Purpose: The purpose of this study is to characterize the local (utterance-level) temporal regularities of child-directed speech (CDS) that might facilitate phonological development in Spanish, classically termed a ... -
Localization accuracy of a common beamformer for the comparison of two conditions
(NeuroImage, 2021)The linearly constrained minimum variance beamformer is frequently used to reconstruct sources underpinning neuromagnetic recordings. When reconstructions must be compared across conditions, it is considered good prac- ... -
Location of navigation menus in websites: an experimental study with Arabic users
(Universal Access in the Information Society, 2017)While Arabic users represent by far the fastest growing language population on the Internet, research about how the peculiarities of Arabic language may shape users’ web interactions is still scarce. The preferences of ... -
Long-Range a-Synchronization as Control Signal for BCI: A Feasibility Study
(Society for Neuroscience, 2023)Shifts in spatial attention are associated with variations in α band (α, 8–14 Hz) activity, specifically in interhemispheric imbalance. The underlying mechanism is attributed to local α-synchronization, which regulates ... -

Low or High-Level Motor Coding? The Role of Stimulus Complexity
(Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019)Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies have shown that observing an action induces activity in the onlooker's motor system. In light of the muscle specificity and time-locked mirroring nature of the effect, this ... -
LSE-Sign: A lexical database for Spanish Sign Language
(Behavior Research Methods, 2016)The LSE-Sign database is a free online tool for selecting Spanish Sign Language stimulus materials to be used in experiments. It contains 2,400 individual signs taken from a recent standardized LSE dictionary, and a ... -
Maintenance cost in the processing of subject-verb dependencies
(APA American Psychological Association, 2022)Although research in sentence comprehension has suggested that processing long-distance dependencies involves maintenance between the elements that form the dependency, studies on maintenance of long-distance subject–verb ...
