LSE-Sign: A lexical database for Spanish Sign Language
(Behavior Research Methods, 2016)
The LSE-Sign database is a free online tool for
selecting Spanish Sign Language stimulus materials to be
used in experiments. It contains 2,400 individual signs taken
from a recent standardized LSE dictionary, and a ...
Do handwritten words magnify lexical effects in visual word recognition?
(The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2016)
An examination of how the word recognition system is able to process handwritten words is fundamental to formulate a comprehensive model of visual word recognition. Previous research has revealed that the magnitude of ...
The neuroanatomy of bilingualism: how to turn a hazy view into the full picture
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)
The neuroanatomical bases of bilingualism have recently received intensive attention. However, it is
still a matter of debate how the brain structure changes due to bilingual experience since current
findings are highly ...
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 ...
Cross-linguistic interactions influence reading development in bilinguals: a comparison between early balanced French-Basque and Spanish-Basque bilingual children
(Developmental Science, 2016)
This study investigates whether orthographic consistency and transparency of languages have an impact on the development of
reading strategies and reading sub-skills (i.e. phonemic awareness and visual attention span) in ...
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 ...
Language dominance shapes non-linguistic rhythmic grouping in bilinguals
(Cognition, 2016)
To what degree non-linguistic auditory rhythm perception is governed by universal biases (e.g., Iambic-
Trochaic Law; Hayes, 1995) or shaped by native language experience is debated. It has been proposed
that rhythmic ...
Stereotypes override grammar: Social knowledge in sentence comprehension
(Brain & Language, 2016)
Many studies have provided evidence for the automaticity and immediacy with which stereotypical knowledge affects our behavior. However, less is known about how such social knowledge interacts with linguistic cues during ...
“Hazy” or “jumbled”? Putting together the pieces of the bilingual puzzle
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)
Six commentaries [Bialystok, E. (2015). How hazy views become full pictures. Language, Cognition
and Neuroscience. doi:10.1080/23273798.2015.1074255; de Bruin, A., & Della Sala, S. (2015) The
importance of language use ...
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 ...
