Similarity space theories and the problem of concept acquisition.
(2019-03-29)
Uno de los principales problemas a los que se enfrenta el empirismo es el de explicar cómo se adquieren los elementos más básicos de los conceptos, sin recurrir para ello a elementos innatos preexistentes. El propósito de ...
Bilingual education searching for promising didactic proposals
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014-12-05)
From minimal dependencies to sentence contexts: neural correlates of agreement processing
(2016-04-29)
Language comprehension is incremental, involving the integration of formal and conceptual information from different words, together with the need to resolve conflicting cues when unexpected information occurs. However, ...
Multimodal MRI characterization of visual word recognition: an integrative view
(2017-06-01)
The ventral occipito-temporal (vOT) association cortex contributes significantly to recognize different types of visual patterns. It is widely accepted that a subset of this circuitry, including the visual word form area ...
Bilingualism across the lifespan: Neuroanatomical correlates
(2017-05-08)
Recently, an increasing number of studies addressing the neuroanatomical bases of bilingualism have appeared (Garcia-Penton et al., 2016). However, the results are variable and in sorne cases conflicting,and consequen y ...
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 ...
Neural correlates of bilingual reading: Effects of orthographic depth and age of acquisition of a second language in brain function and structure
(2016-12-05)
El lenguaje forma parte de la esencia del ser humano. Es nuestra herramienta más poderosa para comunicarnos, para compartir nuestro conocimiento, sentimientos y emociones. La comunicación permite tanto nuestro desarrollo ...
Negative Transfer Effects on L2 Word Order Processing
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018-03-14)
Does first language (L1) word order affect the processing of non-canonical but grammatical syntactic structures in second language (L2) comprehension? In the present study, we test whether L1-Spanish speakers of L2-Basque ...
