Online Adaptation to Altered Auditory Feedback Is Predicted by Auditory Acuity and Not by Domain-General Executive Control Resources
(Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018)
When a speaker's auditory feedback is altered, he adapts for the perturbation by altering his own production, which demonstrates the role of auditory feedback in speech motor control. In the present study, we explored the ...
Does visual letter similarity modulate masked form priming in young readers of Arabic?
(Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2018)
We carried out a masked priming lexical decision experiment to study whether visual letter similarity plays a role during the initial phases of word processing in young readers of Arabic (fifth graders). Arabic is ideally ...
Converging evidence for functional and structural segregation within the left ventral occipitotemporal cortex in reading
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS), 2018)
The ventral occipitotemporal cortex (vOTC) is crucial for recognizing visual patterns, and previous evidence suggests that there may be different subregions within the vOTC involved in the rapid identification of word ...
When “He” Can Also Be “She”: An ERP Study of Reflexive Pronoun Resolution in Written Mandarin Chinese
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)
The gender information in written Chinese third person pronouns is not symmetrically encoded: the character for “he” (yes, with semantic radical yes, meaning human) is used as a default referring to every individual, while ...
The role of syllables in sign language production
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-11-13)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the functional role of syllables in sign language and how the different phonological combinations influence sign production. Moreover, the influence of age of acquisition was ...
What Can the Brain Teach Us about Winemaking? An fMRI Study of Alcohol Level Preferences
(Public Library Science, 2015-03-18)
Over the last few decades, wine makers have been producing wines with a higher alcohol content, assuming that they are more appreciated by consumers. To test this hypothesis, we used functional magnetic imaging to compare ...
Discriminating languages in bilingual contexts: the impact of orthographic markedness
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-05-13)
Does language-specific orthography help language detection and lexical access in naturalistic bilingual contexts? This study investigates how L2 orthotactic properties influence bilingual language detection in bilingual ...
