Capturing Cross-linguistic Differences in Macro-rhythm: The Case of Italian and English
(Language and Speech, 2020)
We tested the hypothesis that languages can be classified by their degree of tonal rhythm (Jun, 2014). The tonal rhythms of English and Italian were quantified using the following parameters: (a) regularity of tonal ...
Making It Harder to “See” Meaning: The More You See Something, the More Its Conceptual Representation Is Susceptible to Visual Interference
(Psychological Science, 2020)
Does the perceptual system for looking at the world overlap with the conceptual system for thinking about it? We
conducted two experiments (N = 403) to investigate this question. Experiment 1 showed that when people ...
Fluidity in the perception of auditory speech: Cross-modal recalibration of voice gender and vowel identity by a talking face
(Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2020)
Humans quickly adapt to variations in the speech signal. Adaptation may surface as recalibration, a learning effect driven by error-minimisation between a visual face and an ambiguous auditory speech signal, or as selective ...
Auditory Selective Adaptation Moment by Moment, at Multiple Timescales
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2021)
Over the course of a lifetime, adults develop perceptual categories for the vowels and consonants in
their native language, based on the distribution of those sounds in their environment. However, in any
given listening ...
The role of metacognition in recognition of the content of statistical learning
(Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2021)
Despite theoretical debate on the extent to which statistical learning is incidental or modulated by explicit instructions and
conscious awareness of the content of statistical learning, no study has ever investigated the ...
Decoding motor expertise from fine-tuned oscillatory network organization
(WILEY, 2022)
Can motor expertise be robustly predicted by the organization of frequency-specific oscillatory brain networks? To answer this question, we recorded high-density electroencephalography (EEG) in expert Tango dancers and ...
Enhanced disengagement of auditory attention and phonological skills in action video gamers
(Elsevier, 2022)
Video games play a major role in the everyday life of children, teenagers, and adults. Several studies show that
action video games (AVGs) improve visual attentional efficiency. AVGs also appear to improve reading speed ...
Right-hemisphere coherence to speech at prereading stages predicts reading performance one year later
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
Neural entrainment to the low-frequency modulations of speech might contribute
significantly to reading acquisition. Still, no previous study has actually attempted to
establish a longitudinal link between them. The ...
Combining Gamma With Alpha and Beta Power Modulation for Enhanced Cortical Mapping in Patients With Focal Epilepsy
(Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2020)
About one third of patients with epilepsy have seizures refractory to the medical treatment. Electrical stimulation mapping (ESM) is the gold standard for the identification of “eloquent” areas prior to resection of ...
Differences in word learning in children: Bilingualism or linguistic experience?
(Applied Psycholinguistics, 2021)
The current study examines how monolingual children and bilingual children with languages
that are orthotactically similar and dissimilar learn novel words depending on their
characteristics. We contrasted word learning ...
