Enhancing reading performance through action video games: the role of visual attention span
(Scientific Reports, 2017)
Recent studies reported that Action Video Game-AVG training improves not only certain attentional components, but also reading fluency in children with dyslexia. We aimed to investigate the shared attentional components ...
Why space is not one-dimensional: Location may be categorical and imagistic
(Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2017)
In our commentary, we raise concerns with the idea that
location should be considered a gestural component of sign languages.
We argue that psycholinguistic studies provide evidence for location as a
“categorical” element ...
Emergent Bilingualism and Working Memory Development in School Aged Children
(Language Learning, 2016)
The present research explores working memory (WM) development in monolingual
as well as emergent bilingual children immersed in an L2 at school. Evidence from
recent years suggests that bilingualism may boost domain-general ...
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 ...
Amodal Atypical Neural Oscillatory Activity in Dyslexia: A Cross-Linguistic Perspective
(Clinical Psychological Science, 2017)
It has been proposed that atypical neural oscillations in both the auditory and the visual modalities could explain why
some individuals fail to learn to read and suffer from developmental dyslexia. However, the role of ...
Chronset: An automated tool for detecting speech onset
(Behavior Research Methods, 2017)
The analysis of speech onset times has a
longstanding tradition in experimental psychology as a measure
of how a stimulus influences a spoken response. Yet the
lack of accurate automatic methods to measure such ...
The BEST Dataset of Language Proficiency
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2017)
Effects of subject-case marking on agreement processing: ERP evidence from Basque
(Cortex, 2018)
Previous cross-linguistic research has found that comprehenders are immediately sensitive
to various kinds of agreement violations across languages. We focused on Basque, a
verb-final ergative language with both subjecteverb ...
The consequences of literacy and schooling for parsing strings
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2018)
Word processing initially occurs through letter-by-letter parsing at early stages of reading development. Here we investigated the role of literacy in parsing both linguistic and non-linguistic strings, as well as the ...
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 ...
