Agreement and illusion of disagreement: An ERP study on Basque
(Cortex, 2019)
Agreement is a syntactic relation involving a controller (e.g., a noun) and a target with matching inflectional morphology (e.g., a verb). Across languages, electrophysiological studies consistently report that the presence ...
Neocortical activity tracks the hierarchical linguistic structures of self-produced speech during reading aloud
(NeuroImage, 2020)
How the human brain uses self-generated auditory information during speech production is rather unsettled.
Current theories of language production consider a feedback monitoring system that monitors the auditory
consequences ...
Spatiotemporal dynamics of postoperative functional plasticity in patients with brain tumors in language areas
(Brain and Language, 2020)
Postoperative functional neuroimaging provides a unique opportunity to investigate the neural mechanisms that
facilitate language network reorganization. Previous studies in patients with low grade gliomas (LGGs) in ...
Cross-linguistic transfer in bilinguals reading in two alphabetic orthographies: The grain size accommodation hypothesis
(Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2018)
Reading acquisition is one of the most complex and demanding learning processes faced by children in their first years of schooling. If reading acquisition is challenging in one language, how is it when reading is acquired ...
Does the Visual Attention Span Play a Role in Reading in Arabic?
(Scientific Studies of Reading, 2018)
It is unclear whether the association between the visual attention (VA) span and reading differs across languages. Here we studied this relationship in Arabic, where the use of specific reading strategies depends on the ...
Tracing the interplay between syntactic and lexical features: fMRI evidence from agreement comprehension
(NeuroImage, 2018)
The current fMRI study was designed to investigate whether the processing of different gender-related cues embedded in nouns affects the computation of agreement
dependencies and, if so, where this possible interaction ...
When the end matters: influence of gender cues during agreement computation in bilinguals
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2017)
The present event-related potential (ERP) study was aimed at testing whether form-function
mappings can differently affect sentence comprehension in early bilinguals with a range of
linguistic profiles. Basque–Spanish ...
Reading comprehension and immersion schooling: evidence from component skills
(Developmental Science, 2017)
The present research aims to assess literacy acquisition in children becoming bilingual via second language immersion in school.
We adopt a cognitive components approach, assessing text-level reading comprehension, a ...
The specificity of the neural response to speech at birth
(http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/%28ISSN%291467-7687, 2018)
In this work we ask whether at birth, the human brain responds uniquely to speech, or
if similar activation also occurs to a non-speech
surrogate ‘language’. We compare
neural activation in newborn infants to the language ...
Learning to Read Bilingually Modulates the Manifestations of Dyslexia in Adults
(Scientific Studies of Reading, 2018)
According to the Grain Size Accommodation hypothesis (Lallier & Carreiras, 2017), learning to read in two languages differing in orthographic consistency leads to a cross-linguistic modulation of reading and spelling ...
