The Processing of Spanish Article– Noun Gender Agreement by Monolingual and Bilingual Toddlers
(Language and Speech, 2021)
We assessed monolingual Spanish and bilingual Spanish-Basque toddlers’ sensitivity to gender
agreement in correct vs. incorrect Spanish noun phrases (definite article + noun), using a
spontaneous preference listening ...
Neural Processing Underlying Executive Functions in Bilinguals: “Heads I Win, Tails You Lose”
(Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021)
Many studies have claimed bilingualism strengthens the neural mechanisms that underpin
executive functions and enhances cognition in the elderly (Bialystok, 2017). Nevertheless, the field
of bilingualism research has ...
Group-level cortical functional connectivity patterns using fNIRS: assessing the effect of bilingualism in young infants
(Neurophotonics, 2021)
Significance: Early monolingual versus bilingual experience induces adaptations in the development
of linguistic and cognitive processes, and it modulates functional activation patterns during
the first months of life. ...
ICA-based denoising strategies in breath-hold induced cerebrovascular reactivity mapping with multi echo BOLD fMRI
(NeuroImage, 2021)
Performing a BOLD functional MRI (fMRI) acquisition during breath-hold (BH) tasks is a non-invasive, robust method to estimate cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR). However, movement and breathing-related artefacts caused by ...
A practical modification to a resting state fMRI protocol for improved characterization of cerebrovascular function
(NeuroImage, 2021)
Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), defined here as the Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent (BOLD) response to a CO 2 pressure change, is a useful metric of cerebrovascular function. Both the amplitude and the timing (hemo- ...
The effects of multi-echo fMRI combination and rapid T 2 ∗ -mapping on offline and real-time BOLD sensitivity
(NeuroImage, 2021)
A variety of strategies are used to combine multi-echo functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data, yet recent literature lacks a systematic comparison of the available options. Here we compare six different approaches ...
Probing Lexical Ambiguity: Word Vectors Encode Number and Relatedness of Senses
(Cognitive Science, 2021)
Lexical ambiguity—the phenomenon of a single word having multiple, distinguishable senses
—is pervasive in language. Both the degree of ambiguity of a word (roughly, its number of
senses) and the relatedness of those ...
Evaluating the Reliability of Human Brain White Matter Tractometry
(Minor White, 2021)
The validity of research results depends on the reliability of analysis methods. In recent years, there have been concerns about the validity of research that uses diffusion-weighted MRI (dMRI) to understand human brain ...
The effects of bilingualism on attentional processes in the first year of life
(Developmental Science, 2021)
Bilingualism is a powerful experiential factor, and its effects have been proposed to
extend beyond the linguistic domain by boosting the development of executive functioning
skills. Crucially, recent findings suggest ...
Lexical and Prosodic Pitch Modifications in Cantonese Infant-directed Speech
(Journal of Child Language, 2021)
The functions of acoustic-phonetic modifications in infant-directed speech (IDS) remain a
question: do they specifically serve to facilitate language learning via enhanced phonemic
contrasts (the hyperarticulation ...
