Metacognition refers to the capacity of reflecting upon our own cognitive processes. There is an ongoing discussion in the literature on the role of metacognitive monitoring in learning and academic achievement. However, ...
The Influence of Literacy on Speech. The Orthographic Consistency Effect in Auditory Language Perception and Language Production
(2022-10-06)
The present thesis presents a series of experiments that explore of the Orthographic Consistency Effect (OCE) in auditory language perception and production. The OCE is a psycholinguistic effect that shows a facilitation ...
Assessing the representation of seen and unseen contents in human brains and deep artificial networks
(2022-11-26)
The functional scope of unconscious visual information processing and its implementation in the human brain remains a highly contested issue in cognitive neuroscience. The influential global workspace and higher-order ...
Implementing translanguaging pedagogies in an English medium instruction course
(Taylor & Francis, 2023)
English medium education at university level is widely used in different contexts and it poses a challenge for students who are not used to studying through the medium of English. This study was carried out in a university ...
The role of orthography in auditory word learning
(2023-02-20)
The present thesis investigates the role of orthography in auditory word learning. Across three experiments we explore whether adult speakers of Spanish (Experiments 1 and 3) and French (Experiment 2) use their knowledge ...
Magnocellular and parvocellular visual pathways, involvement in reading. Examination of developmental trajectories, visual cortex regions and reading circuitries
(2022-05-23)
The magnocellular and parvocellular systems are major visual recognition pathways, with distinct histological and physiological properties. Despite their critical role, there is limited evidence on the specific contributions ...
