Cognitive and neural mechanisms of voluntary versus forced language switching in Chinese–English bilinguals: an fMRI study
(OXFORD, 2024)
The ecological validity of bilingual code-switching has garnered increasing attention in recent years. Contrary to traditional studies that have focused on forced language switching, emerging theories posit that voluntary ...
Do more effective schools succeed in reducing the gender gap in linguistic communicative competence in a bilingual context?
(Sage, 2023-10-01)
The study aims to determine whether schools in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country (ACBC) succeed in reducing gender differences in language achievement (in Spanish and Basque) in accordance with their effectiveness ...
The Impact of Character Complexity on Chinese Literacy:A Generalized Additive Modeling Approach
(Taylor & Francis, 2024)
Purpose: We examined the effect of character complexity on early Chineseliteracy (word reading and writing). We also investigated whether cognitiveskills (phonological awareness, morphological awareness, and rapid automa-tized ...
Atypical low-frequency cortical encoding of speech identifies children with developmental dyslexia
(Frontiers, 2024)
Slow cortical oscillations play a crucial role in processing the speech amplitude envelope, which is perceived atypically by children with developmental dyslexia. Here we use electroencephalography (EEG) recorded during ...
Electrophysiological alterations during action semantic processing in Parkinson’s disease
(SPRINGER, 2024)
Assessments of action semantics consistently reveal markers of Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, neurophysiological signatures of the domain remain under-examined in this population, especially under conditions that allow ...
Development of EEG alpha and theta oscillations in the maintenance stage of working memory
(ELSEVIER, 2024)
Several studies have shown developmental changes in EEG oscillations during working memory tasks. Although the load-modulated theta and alpha activities in adults are well-documented, the findings are inconsistent if ...
The contribution of carsharing to low carbon mobility: Complementarity and substitution with other modes
(Research in Transportation Economics, 2021)
This paper analyses both the attributes of carsharing transport modes (station-based and free-floating) and their relationship with other transport modes. Users' and stakeholders’ perspectives are synthesized from in-depth ...
Biodiversity and the challenge of pluralism
(Nature Sustainability, 2021)
The lack of progress in reversing the declining global trend in biodiversity is partly due to a mismatch between how living nature is conceived and valued by the conservation movement on the one hand, and by many different ...
Simplistic understandings of farmer motivations could undermine the environmental potential of the common agricultural policy
(LAND USE POLICY, 2021)
The European Union Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has failed to achieve its aim of preserving European farmland biodiversity, despite massive investment in subsidies to incentivise environmentally-beneficial farming ...
Biophysical and economic assessment of four ecosystem services for natural capital accounting in Italy
(Ecosystem Services, 2020)
We present methods and results of country-based natural capital assessments for four ecosystem services (ES) in Italy. The spatial mapping and the assessment have been carried out in both physical and monetary terms for ...
