Metacognition in Second Language Speech Perception and Production
(WILEY, 2023)
In this study, we assessed metacognition in nonnative language speech perception and production. Spanish novice learners of French identified and produced the French vowel contrast /ø/–/œ/ and, on each trial, rated their ...
Brain structure, phenotypic and genetic correlates of reading performance
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2023)
Reading is an evolutionarily recent development that recruits and tunes brain circuitry connecting primary- and language-processing regions. We investigated whether metrics of the brain’s physical structure correlate with ...
Combined Fluorescent-Chromogenic In Situ Hybridization for Identification and Laser Microdissection of Interphase Chromosomes
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
Chromosome territories constitute the most conspicuous feature of nuclear architecture, and they exhibit non-random distribution patterns in the interphase nucleus. We observed that in cell nuclei from humans with Down ...
Bad maps may not always get you lost: Lexically driven perceptual recalibration for substituted phonemes
(SPRINGER, 2023)
The speech perception system adjusts its phoneme categories based on the current speech input and lexical context. This is known as lexically driven perceptual recalibration, and it is often assumed to underlie accommodation ...
Cognitive reserve counteracts typical neural activity changes related to ageing
(ELSEVIER, 2023)
Studies have shown that older adults with high Cognitive Reserve (HCR) exhibit better executive functioning than their low CR (LCR) counterparts. However, the neural processes linked to those differences are unclear. This ...
Opportunities and challenges for microbiomics in ecosystem restoration
(Trends in Ecology and Evolution, 2023-12-01)
Microbiomics is the science of characterizing microbial community structure, function, and dynamics. It has great potential to advance our understanding of plant–soil–microbe processes and interaction networks which can ...
Mapping the landscape of water and society research: Promising combinations of compatible and complementary disciplines
(Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Water, 2024-03-01)
Coupled human-water systems (CHWS) are diverse and have been studied across a wide variety of disciplines. Integrating multiple disciplinary perspectives on CHWS provides a comprehensive and actionable understanding of ...
Functional near infrared spectroscopy detects cortical activation changes concurrent with memory loss in postmenopausal women with Type II Diabetes
(SPRINGER, 2023)
Older adults with Type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM) experience mild cognitive impairment, specifically in the domain of recall/working memory. No consistent causative structural cortical deficits have been identified in persons ...
Verbal production dynamics and plasticity: functional contributions of language and executive control systems
(OXFORD, 2023)
Bilingual language production requires both language knowledge and language control in order to communicate in a target language. Learning or improving a language in adulthood is an increasingly common undertaking, and ...
Reading speed in subtitling for hearing impaired children: an analysis in Spanish television
(University of Roehampton (London), 2016)
[EN] Reading speed is one of the essential parameters to consider when designing subtitles for a hearing impaired audience. Images, subtitles and spoken dialogue are the three sources of information in a subtitled audiovisual ...
