Trauma-Related Distress During the COVID-19 Pandemic In 59 Countries
(SAGE, 2022)The COVID-19 pandemic has upended life like few other events in modern history, with differential impacts on varying population groups. This study examined trauma-related distress among 6,882 adults ages 18 to 94 years old ... -
Typing expertise in a large student population
(SPRINGER, 2022)Typing has become a pervasive mode of language production worldwide, with keyboards fully integrated in a large part of many daily activities. The bulk of the literature on typing expertise concerns highly trained professional ... -
Typological Differences Influence the Bilingual Advantage in Metacognitive Processing
(APA American Psychological Association, 2022)Previous studies showed a bilingual advantage in metacognitive processing (tracking one’s own cognitive performance) in linguistic tasks. However, bilinguals do not constitute a homogeneous population, and it was unclear ... -
Unconscious Manipulation of Conceptual Representations with Decoded Neurofeedback Impacts Search Behavior
(Jneurosci, 2024)The necessity of conscious awareness in human learning has been a long-standing topic in psychology and neuroscience. Previous research on non-conscious associative learning is limited by the low signal-to-noise ratio of ... -
Using Kinect to classify Parkinson’s disease stages related to severity of gait impairment
(2018)Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease associated with motor problems such as gait impairment. Different systems based on 3D cameras, accelerometers or gyroscopes have been used in related works ... -
Using serial dependence to predict confidence across observers and cognitive domains
(SPRINGER, 2023)Our perceptual system appears hardwired to exploit regularities of input features across space and time in seemingly stable environments. This can lead to serial dependence effects whereby recent perceptual representations ... -
Using TMS to evaluate a causal role for right posterior temporal cortex in talker-specific phonetic processing
(ELSEVIER, 2023)Theories suggest that speech perception is informed by listeners’ beliefs of what phonetic variation is typical of a talker. A previous fMRI study found right middle temporal gyrus (RMTG) sensitivity to whether a phonetic ... -
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 ... -
Virtual Reality pitch ranking in children with cochlear implants, hearing aids or normal hearing
(ELSEVIER, 2022)When listening to music, one uses the hearing to identify all musical elements such as pitches, musical intervals, melodies, chords, rhythms, and timbre [1]. To determine the notes in a melody, it is critical to have the ... -
Voice onset time and vowel formant measures in online testing and laboratory-based testing with(out) surgical face masks
(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 ... -
Voices in the mental lexicon: Words carry indexical information that can affect access to their meaning
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2019)The speech signal carries both linguistic and non-linguistic information (e.g., a talker’s voice qualities; referred to as indexical information). There is evidence that indexical information can affect some aspects of ... -
Voluntary Language Switching in the Context of Bilingual Aphasia
(behavioral sciences, 2020)As studies of bilingual language control (BLC) seek to explore the underpinnings of bilinguals’ abilities to juggle two languages, di erent types of language switching tasks have been used to uncover switching and mixing ... -
Voluntary language switching: When and why do bilinguals switch between their languages?
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2018)Bilingual language switching has been studied extensively in cued picture naming paradigms, instructing bilinguals when to switch between languages. However, in daily life, bilinguals often switch freely, without ... -
Wait long and prosper! Delaying production alleviates its detrimental effect on word learning
(Taylor & Francis, 2023)Recent work by Baese-Berk and Samuel (Baese-Berk, M. M., & Samuel, A. G. (2022). Just give it time: Differential effects of disruption and delay on perceptual learning. Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 84(3), 960–980.) ... -
Want to quickly adapt to distorted speech and become a better listener? Read lips, not text
(PLOS, 2022)When listening to distorted speech, does one become a better listener by looking at the face of the speaker or by reading subtitles that are presented along with the speech signal? We examined this question in two experiments ... -
What a thousand children tell us about grammatical complexity and working memory: A cross-sectional analysis on the comprehension of clitics and passives in Italian
(2023)Data from 996 Italian-speaking children were collected and analyzed to assess whether a movement-based notion of grammatical complexity is adequate to capture the developmental trend of clitics and passives in Italian. A ... -
What absent switch costs and mixing costs during bilingual language comprehension can tell us about language control.
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2019)In the current study, we set out to investigate language control, which is the process that minimizes cross-language interference, during bilingual language comprehension. According to current theories of bilingual language ... -
What bilateral damage of the superior parietal lobes tells us about visual attention disorders in developmental dyslexia
(Neuropsychologia, 2019)Neuroimaging studies have identified the superior parietal lobules bilaterally as the neural substrates of reduced visual attention (VA) span in developmental dyslexia. It remains however unclear whether the VA span ... -
What Can Glioma Patients Teach Us about Language (Re)Organization in the Bilingual Brain: Evidence from fMRI and MEG
(Cancers, 2021)Recent evidence suggests that the presence of brain tumors (e.g., low-grade gliomas) triggers language reorganization. Neuroplasticity mechanisms called into play can transfer linguistic functions from damaged to healthy ... -
What Determines Visual Statistical Learning Performance? Insights From Information Theory
(Cognitive Science. A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019)In order to extract the regularities underlying a continuous sensory input, the individual elements constituting the stream have to be encoded and their transitional probabilities (TPs) should be learned. This suggests ...
