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 ...
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 ...
