Incidental changes in orthographic processing in the native language as a function of learning a new language late in life
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2021)
Acquiring a second alphabetic language also entails learning a new set of orthographic rules and
specific patterns of grapheme combinations (namely, the orthotactics). The present longitudinal
study aims to investigate ...
Handedness and its genetic influences are associated with structural asymmetries of the cerebral cortex in 31,864 individuals
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021)
Roughly 10% of the human population is left-handed, and this
rate is increased in some brain-related disorders. The neuroanatomical
correlates of hand preference have remained equivocal.
We resampled structural brain ...
On the Locus of L2 Lexical Fuzziness: Insights From L1 Spoken Word Recognition and Novel Word Learning
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2021)
The examination of how words are learned can offer valuable insights into the
nature of lexical representations. For example, a common assessment of novel word
learning is based on its ability to interfere with other ...
The Role of Education in Executive Functions, Behavioral Problems and Functional Performance in People With Schizophrenia
(Neuropsychology, 2021)
This cross-sectional study examined the influence of education on executive functions, behavioral
problems and functional performance in people with chronic schizophrenia. Method: Our sample was composed of
116 subjects ...
Whole‑genome sequencing identifies functional noncoding variation in SEMA3C that cosegregates with dyslexia in a multigenerational family
(Human Genetics, 2021)
Dyslexia is a common heritable developmental disorder involving impaired reading abilities. Its genetic underpinnings are
thought to be complex and heterogeneous, involving common and rare genetic variation. Multigenerational ...
The role of reading experience in atypical cortical tracking of speech and speech-in-noise in dyslexia
(ELSEVIER, 2022)
Dyslexia is a frequent developmental disorder in which reading acquisition is delayed and that is usually associ- ated with difficulties understanding speech in noise. At the neuronal level, children with dyslexia were ...
Inaccurate cortical tracking of speech in adults with impaired speech perception in noise
(Brain Communications, 2021)
Impaired speech perception in noise despite normal peripheral auditory function is a common problem in young adults. Despite a growing
body of research, the pathophysiology of this impairment remains unknown. This ...
Does signal reduction imply predictive coding in models of spoken word recognition?
(Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2021)
Pervasive behavioral and neural evidence for predictive processing has led to claims that language processing depends upon
predictive coding. Formally, predictive coding is a computational mechanism where only deviations ...
Predictors of Word and Text Reading Fluency of Deaf Children in Bilingual Deaf Education Programmes
(MDPI, 2022)
Reading continues to be a challenging task for most deaf children. Bimodal bilingual
education creates a supportive environment that stimulates deaf children’s learning through the use
of sign language. However, it is ...
Who bears the burden of greening electricity?
(Energy Economics, 2022)
Faced with the threat of climate change many countries are promoting renewable energies to decarbonize their energy system. A common policy to foster electricity from renewable energy sources are feed-in tariffs which are ...
