How does learning cultural systems like language impact cognition and perception? The last few years have seen increased interest into this topic, yet with little theoretical advance. One fundamental question concerns the ...
The Neural Representation of Concepts in Bilinguals: An Evaluation of Factors Influencing Cross-language Overlap Using fMRI-based Multivariate Pattern Analysis
(2023-07-13)
The neurocognitive mechanisms that support the generalization of semantic representations across different languages remain to be determined. Current psycholinguistic models propose that semantic representations are likely ...
Exploring the effects of accent on cognitive processes: behavioral and electrophysiological insights
(2023-09-27)
Previous research has found that speaker accent can have an impact on a range of offline and online cognitive processes (Baus, Bas, Calabria, & Costa, 2017; McAleer, Todorov, & Belin, 2014; Stevenage, Clarke, & McNeill, ...
Neural dynamics underlying object and action naming across languages: Insights from health and disease
(2023-10-30)
Words representing objects (nouns) and words representing actions (verbs) are essential components of speech across languages. Previous studies have shown that the lexico-semantic processing of object and action knowledge ...
Temporal structure in language production and processing: a crossmodal comparison of spoken and sign language
(2023-03-10)
Este trabajo de doctorado investiga el efecto de la modalidad, acústica y visual, en la estructura te mporal del lenguaje. Comparamos el español europeo hablado y la lengua de signos española( que utilizan respectivamente ...
Argument structure processing in bilinguals and bilingual speakers with aphasia: A cross-linguistic investigation
(2023-12-18)
Previous research has shown that costs associated with verb argument structure processing scale with the number of arguments and/or as a result of non-canonical argument mapping. Increased difficulty associated with these ...
Foreigner directed speech. From speech adaptation to cortical tracking of the speech register directed to non-native listeners.
(2023-10-02)
Foreigner Directed Speech (FDS) is the result of speech accommodation produced by native speakers of a certain language while addressing non-native listeners of that language. By studying FDS, we aimed to explore the ...
