Cross-Language Modulation of Visual Attention Span: An Arabic-French-Spanish Comparison in Skilled Adult Readers
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)
In delineating the amount of orthographic information that can be processed in parallel during a single fixation, the visual attention (VA) span acts as a key component of the reading system. Previous studies focused on ...
The proactive bilingual brain: Using interlocutor identity to generate predictions for language processing
(Scientific Reports, 2016)
The present study investigated the proactive nature of the human brain in language perception.
Specifically, we examined whether early proficient bilinguals can use interlocutor identity as a cue
for language prediction, ...
Do Diacritical Marks Play a Role at the Early Stages of Word Recognition in Arabic?
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)
A crucial question in the domain of visual word recognition is whether letter similarity plays a role in the early stages of visual word processing. Here we focused on Arabic because in this language there are various ...
Does bilingualism shape inhibitory control in the elderly?
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2016)
Bilingualism has been argued to benefit executive functioning. However, recent research suggests that this advantage may stem from uncontrolled factors or incorrectly matched samples. In this study we test the effects of ...
Out-of-Synchrony Speech Entrainment in Developmental Dyslexia
(Human Brain Mapping, 2016)
Developmental dyslexia is a reading disorder often characterized by reduced awareness of speech units. Whether the neural source of this phonological disorder in dyslexic readers results from the malfunctioning of the ...
Functional Dynamics of Dorsal and Ventral Reading Networks in Bilinguals
(Cerebral Cortex, 2017)
In today’s world, bilingualism is increasingly common. However, it is still unclear how left-lateralized dorsal and ventral
reading networks are tuned to reading in proficient second-language learners. Here, we investigated ...
Cross-modal noise compensation in audiovisual words
(Scientific Reports, 2017)
Perceiving linguistic input is vital for human functioning, but the process is complicated by the fact that the incoming signal is often degraded. However, humans can compensate for unimodal noise by relying on simultaneous ...
The BEST dataset of language proficiency
(2017-02-02)
The effect of orthographic depth on letter string processing: the case of visual attention span and rapid automatized naming
(Reading and Writing, 2018)
The present study investigated whether orthographic depth can increase the bias towards multi-letter processing in two reading-related skills: visual attention span (VAS) and rapid automatized naming (RAN). VAS (i.e., the ...
Consonantal overlap effects in a perceptual matching task
(Experimental Brain Research, 2016)
This study investigates the processing of letter
position coding by exploring whether or not two explicitly
presented words that share the same consonants, but that
differ in their vowels, exert mutual interference more ...
