Cross-linguistic differences in the use of durational cues for the segmentation of a novel language
(Memory & Cognition, 2017)
It is widely accepted that duration can be exploited as phonological phrase final lengthening in the segmentation of a novel language, i.e., in extracting discrete constituents from continuous speech. The use of final ...
The ERP signature of the contextual diversity effect in visual word recognition
(Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2017)
Behavioral experiments have revealed that words appearing in many different contexts are responded to faster than words that appear in few contexts. Although this contextual diversity (CD) effect has been found to be ...
The Development of Spontaneous Sound-Shape Matching in Monolingual and Bilingual Infants During the First Year
(Developmental Psychology, 2017)
Recently it has been proposed that sensitivity to nonarbitrary relationships between speech sounds and objects potentially bootstraps lexical acquisition. However, it is currently unclear whether preverbal infants (e.g., ...
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 ...
Vacuum state of the Dirac field in de Sitter space and entanglement entropy
(Springer, 2017-03-13)
We compute the entanglement entropy of a free massive Dirac field between two causally disconnected open charts in de Sitter space. We first derive the Bunch-Davies vacuum mode functions of the Dirac field. We find there ...
The relation between working memory and language comprehension in signers and speakers
(Acta Psychologica, 2017)
This study investigated the relation between linguistic and spatial working memory (WM) resources and
language comprehension for signed compared to spoken language. Sign languages are both linguistic and visualspatial,
and ...
World knowledge and novel information integration during L2 speech comprehension
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2017)
In this study we explore whether world knowledge (WK) processing differs between individuals listening to their native (L1)
or their non-native (L2) language. We recorded event-related brain potentials in L1 and L2 speakers ...
Evidence for a bimodal bilingual disadvantage in letter fluency
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2017)
Many bimodal bilinguals are immersed in a spoken language-dominant environment from an early age and, unlike unimodal
bilinguals, do not necessarily divide their language use between languages. Nonetheless, early ASL–English ...
Creating stable Floquet–Weyl semimetals by laser-driving of 3D Dirac materials
(Nature Publishing, 2017-01-17)
Tuning and stabilizing topological states, such as Weyl semimetals, Dirac semimetals or topological insulators, is emerging as one of the major topics in materials science. Periodic driving of many-body systems offers a ...
Provisions for claims outstanding, incurred but not reported, with generalized linear models: prediction error formulated according to calendar year
(Instituto de Economía Aplicada a la Empresa (Universidad del País Vasco UPV/EHU), 2017-06-13)
[EN] In the current context of Solvency II, insurance companies are required to implement demanding business risk management systems. An important aspect of this risk management is the problem of technical provisions in ...
