      Breaking Down the Bilingual Cost in Speech Production 

      Sadat, Jasmin; Martin, Clara D.; Magnuson, James S.; Alario, Françoi-Xabier; Costa, Albert (Cognitive Science, 2016)
      Bilinguals have been shown to perform worse than monolinguals in a variety of verbal tasks. This study investigated this bilingual verbal cost in a large-scale picture-naming study conducted in Spanish. We explored how ...

      Cross-language and cross-modal activation in hearing bimodal bilinguals 

      Villameriel, Saúl; Dias, Patricia; Costello, Brendan; Carreiras, Manuel (Journal of Memory and Language, 2016)
      This study investigates cross-language and cross-modal activation in bimodal bilinguals. Two groups of hearing bimodal bilinguals, natives (Experiment 1) and late learners (Experiment 2), for whom spoken Spanish is their ...

      Does bilingualism shape inhibitory control in the elderly? 

      Antón Ustaritz, Eneko; Fernández García, Yuriem; Carreiras, Manuel; Duñabeitia, Jon Andoni (Journal of Memory and Language, 2016)
      Bilingualism has been argued to benefit executive functioning. However, recent research suggests that this advantage may stem from uncontrolled factors or incorrectly matched samples. In this study we test the effects of ...

      Emergent Bilingualism and Working Memory Development in School Aged Children 

      Hansen, Laura Birke; Macizo, Pedro; Duñabeitia, Jon Andoni; Saldaña, David; Carreiras, Manuel; Fuentes, Luis J.; Bajo, Maria Teresa (Language Learning, 2016)
      The present research explores working memory (WM) development in monolingual as well as emergent bilingual children immersed in an L2 at school. Evidence from recent years suggests that bilingualism may boost domain-general ...

      How and When Does the Second Language Influence the Production of Native Speech Sounds: A Literature Review 

      Kartushina, Natalia; Frauenfelder, Ulrich H.; Golestani, Narly (Language Learning, 2016)
      In bilinguals and second language learners, the native (L1) and nonnative (L2) languages coexist and interact. The L1 influences L2 production via forward transfer, as is seen with foreign accents. However, language ...

      Insights from bimodal bilingualism: Reply to commentaries 

      Emmorey, Karen; Giezen, Marcel R.; Gollan, Tamar H. (Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2016)
      The commentaries on our Keynote article “Psycholinguistic, cognitive, and neural implications of bimodal bilingualism” were enthusiastic about what can be learned by studying bilinguals who acquire two languages that are ...

      Language dominance shapes non-linguistic rhythmic grouping in bilinguals 

      Molnar, Monika; Carreiras, Manuel; Gervain, Judit (Cognition, 2016)
      To what degree non-linguistic auditory rhythm perception is governed by universal biases (e.g., Iambic- Trochaic Law; Hayes, 1995) or shaped by native language experience is debated. It has been proposed that rhythmic ...

      Lexical representations are malleable for about one second: Evidence for the non-automaticity of perceptual recalibration 

      Samuel, Arthur G. (Cognitive Psychology, 2016)
      In listening to speech, people have been shown to apply several types of adjustment to their phonemic categories that take into account variations in the prevailing linguistic environment. These adjustments include ...

      Listeners beware: Speech production may be bad for learning speech sounds 

      Baese-Berk, Melissa M.; Samuel, Arthur G. (Journal of Memory and Language, 2016)
      Spoken language requires individuals to both perceive and produce speech. Because both processes access lexical and sublexical representations, it is commonly assumed that perception and production involve cooperative ...

      Mutual influences between native and non-native vowels in production: Evidence from short-term visual articulatory feedback training 

      Kartushina, Natalia; Hervais-Adelman, Alexis; Frauenfelder, Ulrich Hans; Golestan, Narly (Journal of Phonetics, 2016)
      We studied mutual influences between native and non-native vowel production during learning, i.e., before and after short-term visual articulatory feedback training with non-native sounds. Monolingual French speakers were ...

      Semantic parafoveal-on-foveal effects and preview benefits in reading: Evidence from Fixation Related Potentials 

      López-Peréz, P.J.; Dampuré, J.; Hernández-Cabrera, J.A.; Barber, H.A. (Brain and Language, 2016)
      During reading parafoveal information can affect the processing of the word currently fixated (parafovea-on-fovea effect) and words perceived parafoveally can facilitate their subsequent processing when they are fixated ...

      Some people are ‘‘More Lexical” than others 

      Ishida, Mako; Samuel, Arthur G.; Arai, Takayuki (Cognition, 2016)
      People can understand speech under poor conditions, even when successive pieces of the waveform are flipped in time. Using a new method to measure perception of such stimuli, we show that words with sounds based on rapid ...

      Stereotypes override grammar: Social knowledge in sentence comprehension 

      Molinaro, Nicola; Su, Jui-Ju; Carreiras, Manuel (Brain & Language, 2016)
      Many studies have provided evidence for the automaticity and immediacy with which stereotypical knowledge affects our behavior. However, less is known about how such social knowledge interacts with linguistic cues during ...

      Testing Bilingual Educational Methods: A Plea to End the Language-Mixing Taboo 

      Antón Ustaritz, Eneko; Thierry, Guillaume; Goborov, Alexander; Anasagasti Aguirre, Jon ORCID; Duñabeitia, Jon Andoni (Language Learning, 2016)
      Language mixing in a given class is often avoided in bilingual education because of the generally held belief that one subject should be taught in only one language and one person should stick to one language in order ...
