The effect of speech rhythm and speaking rate on assessment of pronunciation in a second language
(Applied Psycholinguistics, 2019)
The study explores the effect of deviations from native speech rhythm and rate norms on the assessement of pronunciation mastery of a second language (L2) when the native language of the learner is either rhythmically ...
The Role of Native Language and the Fundamental Design of the Auditory System in Detecting Rhythm Changes
(Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing, 2019)
Purpose: We investigated whether rhythm discrimination
is mainly driven by the native language of the listener or
by the fundamental design of the human auditory system
and universal cognitive mechanisms shared by all ...
Closing eyes during auditory memory retrieval modulates alpha rhythm but does not alter tau rhythm
(NeuroImage, 2019)
The alpha power increase that occurs when the eyes are closed is one of the most well-known effects in human electrophysiology. In particular, previous psychological studies have investigated whether eye closure can boost ...
Limbic-visual attenuation to crying faces underlies neglectful mothering
(Scientific Reports, 2019)
Neglectful mothering is one of the most common forms of childhood maltreatment, involving a severe disregard of the child’s needs, yet little is known about its neural substrate. A child’s needs are usually conveyed by ...
Regularity in speech rhythm as a social coalition signal
(Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2019)
Regular rhythm facilitates audiomotor entrainment and synchronization in motor behavior and vocalizations
between individuals. As rhythm entrainment between interacting agents is correlated with higher levels of ...
Speech rhythm as naturally occurring and culturally transmitted behavioral patterns
(Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2019)
Rhythm is fundamental to every motor activity. Neural and physiological mechanisms that underlie rhythmic cognition, in general, and rhythmic pattern generation, in particular, are evolutionarily ancient. As speech production ...
Effect of deep brain stimulation on vocal motor control mechanisms in Parkinson's disease
(Parkinsonism and Related Disorders, 2019)
motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD); however, its effect on vocal motor function has yielded conflicted
and highly variable results. The present study investigated the effects of STN-DBS on the mechanisms of ...
Are Sensory-Motor Relationships Encoded ad hoc or by Default?: An ERP Study
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2019)
In this event-related potentials study we tested whether sensory-motor relations
between concrete words are encoded by default or only under explicit ad hoc
instructions. In Exp. 1, participants were explicitly asked to ...
Altered neocortical tactile but preserved auditory early change detection responses in Friedreich ataxia
(Clinical Neurophysiology, 2019)
Objective: To study using magnetoencephalography (MEG) the spatio-temporal dynamics of neocortical
responses involved in sensory processing and early change detection in Friedreich ataxia (FRDA).
Methods: Tactile (TERs) ...
Assessing the Role of the Left Dorsal Frontal Cortex in Working Memory Guidance: Attentional or Mnemonic? A Neurostimulation Study
(Neuroscience, 2019)
Perceptual selection can be guided by the contents of working memory (WM). Neuroimaging and neuropsychological data point to a role of a fronto-parietal and fronto-thalamic networks in WM guidance. Here we assessed the ...
