One-to-One or One Too Many? Linking Sound-to-Letter Mappings to Speech Sound Perception and Production in Early Readers
Jevtović, Mina; Stoehr, Antje; Klimovich-Gray, Anastasia; Antzaka, Alexia; Martin, Clara D. (ASHA, 2022)Purpose: Effects related to literacy acquisition have been observed at different levels of speech processing. This study investigated the link between orthographic knowledge and children’s perception and production of ... -
Online Adaptation to Altered Auditory Feedback Is Predicted by Auditory Acuity and Not by Domain-General Executive Control Resources
Martin, Clara D.; Niziolek, Caroline A.; Duñabeitia, Jon A.; Perez, Alejandro; Hernandez, Doris; Carreiras, Manuel; Houde, John F. (Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018)When a speaker's auditory feedback is altered, he adapts for the perturbation by altering his own production, which demonstrates the role of auditory feedback in speech motor control. In the present study, we explored the ... -
Orthography affects L1 and L2 speech perception but not production in early bilinguals
Stoehr, Antje; Martin, Clara D. (Cambridge, 2022)Orthography plays a crucial role in L2 learning, which generally relies on both oral and written input. We examine whether incongruencies between L1 and L2 grapheme-phoneme correspondences influence bilingual speech ... -
Parafoveal Processing in Bilingual Readers: Semantic Access Within but Not Across Languages
Hoversten, Liv J.; Martin, Clara D. (APA, 2023)Prior research has investigated the quality of information a reader can extract from upcoming parafoveal words. However, very few studies have considered parafoveal processing in bilingual readers, who may differ from ... -
Perro or txakur? Bilingual language choice during production is influenced by personal preferences and external primes
de Bruin, Angela; Martin, Clara D. (ELSEVIER, 2022)Bilinguals living in a bilingual society continuously need to choose one of their languages to communicate a message. Sometimes, the circumstances (e.g., the presence of a monolingual) dictate language choice. When surrounded ... -
Phonetic accommodation in non‑native directed speech supports L2 word learning and pronunciation
Piazza, Giorgio; Kalashnikova, Marina; Martin, Clara D. (NATURE, 2023)This study assessed whether Non-native Directed Speech (NNDS) facilitates second language (L2) learning, specifically L2 word learning and production. Spanish participants (N = 50) learned novel English words, presented ... -
Prediction is Production: The missing link between language production and comprehension
Martin, Clara D.; Branzi, Francesca M.; Bar, Moshe (Scientific Reports, 2018)Language comprehension often involves the generation of predictions. It has been hypothesized that such prediction-for-comprehension entails actual language production. Recent studies provided evidence that the production ... -
Processing of Synonyms and Homographs in Bilingual and Monolingual Speakers
Martin, Clara D.; Pastureau, Romain; Kerr, Emilia; de Bruin, Angela (UBIQUITY PRESS, 2024)Bilinguals have long-lasting experience with cross-language double-mappings (i.e., translation equivalents and interlingual homographs (or false friends)). Considering this, we examined whether bilinguals differ from ... -
Speaker Accent Modulates the Effects of Orthographic and Phonological Similarity on Auditory Processing by Learners of English
Frances, Candice; Navarra-Barindelli, Eugenia; Martin, Clara D. (Frontiers, 2022)The cognate effect refers to translation equivalents with similar form between languages—i.e., cognates, such as “band” (English) and “banda” (Spanish)—being processed faster than words with dissimilar forms—such as, ... -
Talker and Acoustic Variability in Learning to Produce Nonnative Sounds: Evidence from Articulatory Training
Kartushina, Natalia; Martin, Clara D. (Language Learning, 2019)Compared to low‐variability training, high‐variability training leads to better learning outcomes and supports generalization of learning. However, it is unclear whether the learning advantage is driven by multiple talkers ... -
Task-relevant representations and cognitive control demands modulate functional connectivity from ventral occipito-temporal cortex during object recognition tasks
Branzi, FrancescaM.; Martin, Clara D.; Paz-Alonso, Pedro M. (OXFORD, 2022)The left ventral occipito-temporal cortex (vOTC) supports extraction and processing of visual features. However, it has remained unclear whether left vOTC-based functional connectivity (FC) differs according to task-relevant ... -
The Acoustic Features and Didactic Function of Foreigner-Directed Speech: A Scoping Review
Piazza, Giorgio; Martin, Clara D.; Kalashnikova, Marina (ASHA, 2022)Purpose: This scoping review considers the acoustic features of a clear speech register directed to nonnative listeners known as foreigner-directed speech (FDS). We identify vowel hyperarticulation and low speech rate ... -
The effect of orthographic depth on letter string processing: the case of visual attention span and rapid automatized naming
Antzaka, Alexia; Martin, Clara D.; Caffarra, Sendy; Schlöffel, Sophie; Carreiras, Manuel; Lallier, Marie (Reading and Writing, 2018)The present study investigated whether orthographic depth can increase the bias towards multi-letter processing in two reading-related skills: visual attention span (VAS) and rapid automatized naming (RAN). VAS (i.e., the ... -
The effects of contextual diversity on incidental vocabulary learning in the native and a foreign language
Frances, Candice; Martin, Clara D.; Duñabeitia, Jon Andoni (Scientific Reports, 2020)Vocabulary learning occurs throughout the lifespan, often implicitly. For foreign language learners, this is particularly challenging as they must acquire a large number of new words with little exposure. In the present ... -
The impact of foreign accent on irony interpretation
Caffarra, Sendy; Michell, Elissa; Martin, Clara D. (PLoS ONE, 2018)In modern multi-cultural societies, conversations between foreign speakers and native listeners have become very common. These exchanges often include the use of figurative language. The present study examines, for the ... -
The impact of orthographic forms on speech production and perception: An artificial vowel-learning study
Stoehr, Antje; Martin, Clara D. (ELSEVIER, 2022)This study investigates the effect of orthographic forms on phonetic aspects of isolated speech sound production and perception. Three groups of 25 L1-Spanish speakers were exposed to /y/ and /e/ in a multi-session ... -
The presence of a foreign accent introduces lexical integration difficulties during late semantic processing
Gosselin, Leah; Martin, Clara D.; Navarra-Barindelli, Eugenia; Caffarra, Sendy (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. ... -
The proactive bilingual brain: Using interlocutor identity to generate predictions for language processing
Martin, Clara D.; Molnar, Monika; Carreiras, Manuel (Scientific Reports, 2016)The present study investigated the proactive nature of the human brain in language perception. Specifically, we examined whether early proficient bilinguals can use interlocutor identity as a cue for language prediction, ... -
Third-language learning affects bilinguals’ production in both their native languages: A longitudinal study of dynamic changes in L1, L2 and L3 vowel production
Kartushina, Natalia; Martin, Clara D. (Journal of Phonetics, 2019)This study examined the impact of a study abroad (SA) English program on English and native vowel production. Basque-Spanish bilingual adolescents were assessed on their vowel production in English, Basque and Spanish ... -
Voice onset time and vowel formant measures in online testing and laboratory-based testing with(out) surgical face masks
Stoehr, Antje; Souganidis, Christoforos; Thomas, Trisha B.; Jacobsen, Jessi; Martin, Clara D. (ASA, 2023)Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, conducting experiments online is increasingly common, and face masks are often used in everyday life. It remains unclear whether phonetic detail in speech production is captured adequately ...
