The role of crosslinguistic differences in second language anticipatory processing: An event-related potentials study
(Neuropsychologia, 2021)
The present study uses event-related potentials to investigate how crosslinguistic (dis)similarities modulate
anticipatory processing in the second language (L2). Participants read predictive stories in English that made ...
Contextual diversity favors the learning of new words in children regardless of their comprehension skills
(ELSEVIER, 2022)
Recent research has shown the benefits of high contextual diversity,
defined as the number of different contexts in which a word
appears, when incidentally learning new words. These benefits
have been found both in ...
Current expectations and actual values for the clean spark spread: The case of Spain in the Covid-19 crisis
(JOURNAL OF CLEANER PRODUCTION, 2021)
The Covid-19 crisis has had a major impact on electricity markets, affecting power plant input and output prices. In this paper Spanish electricity and natural gas prices and international carbon prices are used to calculate ...
Greenhouse gas observation network design for Africa
(TELLUS SERIES B-CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL METEOROLOGY, 2020)
An optimal network design was carried out to prioritise the installation or refurbishment of greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring stations around Africa. The network was optimised to reduce the uncertainty in emissions across ...
FlowRegEnvCost: An R Package for Assessing the Environmental Cost of River Flow Regulation
(Springer Nature, 2020)
FlowRegEnvCost is an R package developed for evaluating the environmental costs of river flow regulation. The methods for calculating the costs are separated in three steps: (i) measuring the admissible range of variability ...
Environmental and social consequences of the increase in the demand for superfoods world-wide
(People and Nature, 2020)
1.The search for healthy diets has led to a surge in the demand for functional foods
or ‘superfoods’, which have now become popular among the middle- and high-
income fractions of the society in developed regions of the ...
Robust Lexically Mediated Compensation for Coarticulation: Christmash Time Is Here Again
(Cognitive Science, 2021)
A long-standing question in cognitive science is how high-level knowledge is integrated with sensory
input. For example, listeners can leverage lexical knowledge to interpret an ambiguous speech
sound, but do such effects ...
The presence of a foreign accent introduces lexical integration difficulties during late semantic processing
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2021)
Previous research suggests that native listeners may be more tolerant to syntactic errors when they
are produced in a foreign accent. However, studies investigating this topic within the semantic
domain remain conflicting. ...
Customized Application of tDCS for Clinical Rehabilitation in Alzheimer’s Disease
(frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive-behavior
deficits, which strongly impact daily-life activities (Weintraub et al., 2012). Currently, the
limited efficacy of pharmacological ...
Encoding and inhibition of arbitrary episodic context with abstract concepts
(SPRINGER, 2022)
Context is critical for conceptual processing, but the mechanism underpinning its encoding and reinstantiation during abstract
concept processing is unclear. Context may be especially important for abstract concepts—we ...
