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 ...
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 ...
Cross-language and cross-modal activation in hearing bimodal bilinguals
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2016)
This study investigates cross-language and cross-modal activation in bimodal bilinguals.
Two groups of hearing bimodal bilinguals, natives (Experiment 1) and late learners
(Experiment 2), for whom spoken Spanish is their ...
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 ...
Online Adaptation to Altered Auditory Feedback Is Predicted by Auditory Acuity and Not by Domain-General Executive Control Resources
(Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018)
When a speaker's auditory feedback is altered, he adapts for the perturbation by altering his own production, which demonstrates the role of auditory feedback in speech motor control. In the present study, we explored the ...
Does visual letter similarity modulate masked form priming in young readers of Arabic?
(Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2018)
We carried out a masked priming lexical decision experiment to study whether visual letter similarity plays a role during the initial phases of word processing in young readers of Arabic (fifth graders). Arabic is ideally ...
Converging evidence for functional and structural segregation within the left ventral occipitotemporal cortex in reading
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS), 2018)
The ventral occipitotemporal cortex (vOTC) is crucial for recognizing visual patterns, and previous evidence suggests that there may be different subregions within the vOTC involved in the rapid identification of word ...
Language modality shapes the dynamics of word and sign recognition
(Cognition, 2019)
Spoken words and signs both consist of structured sub-lexical units. While phonemes unfold in time in the case of
the spoken signal, visual sub-lexical units such as location and handshape are produced simultaneously in ...
Functional plasticity associated with language learning in adults
(NeuroImage, 2019)
Learning a new language in adulthood is increasingly common and among the most difficult tasks attempted by adults. Adult language learners thus offer an excellent window into the nature of learning-dependent plasticity. ...
