Phonetic accommodation in non‑native directed speech supports L2 word learning and pronunciation
(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 ...
Impaired neural entrainment to low frequency amplitude modulations in English-speaking children with dyslexia or dyslexia and DLD
(ELSEVIER, 2023)
Neural synchronization to amplitude-modulated noise at three frequencies (2 Hz, 5 Hz, 8 Hz) thought to be important for syllable perception was investigated in English-speaking school-aged children. The theoretically-important ...
Seeing a talking face matters: Infants' segmentation of continuous auditory-visual speech
(WILEY, 2023)
Visual speech cues from a speaker's talking face aid speech
segmentation in adults, but despite the importance of
speech segmentation in language acquisition, little is known
about the possible influence of visual speech ...
Toddler-directed and adult-directed gesture frequency in monolingual and bilingual caregivers
(SAGE, 2023)
Aims and objectives: This study was designed to assess whether bilingual caregivers,
compared with monolingual caregivers, modify their nonverbal gestures to match the increased
communicative and/or cognitive-linguistic ...
Brain Signatures of Embodied Semantics and Language: A Consensus Paper
(UBIQUITY PRESS, 2023)
According to embodied theories (including embodied, embedded, extended, enacted, situated, and grounded approaches to cognition), language representation is intrinsically linked to our interactions with the world around ...
A novel cognitive neurosurgery approach for supramaximal resection of non-dominant precuneal gliomas: A case report
(SPRINGER, 2023)
Despite mounting evidence pointing to the contrary, classical neurosurgery presumes many cerebral regions are non-eloquent,
and therefore, their excision is possible and safe. This is the case of the precuneus and posterior ...
Exploring effects of social information on talker-independent accent adaptation
(ASA, 2023)
The present study examined whether race information about speakers can promote rapid and generalizable perceptual adaptation to second-language accent. First-language English listeners were presented with Cantonese-accented ...
In search of finalizing and validating digital learning tools supporting all in acquiring full literacy
(Frontiers, 2023)
Unlike many believe, accurate and fluent basic reading skill (ie. to decode text) is
not enough for learning knowledge via reading. More than 10 years ago a digital
learning game supporting the first step towards full ...
Performance feedback enhances test-potentiated encoding
(Frontiers, 2023)
Introduction: Long-term memory retention is enhanced after testing compared to restudying (testing effect). Notably, memory retrieval further improves when correct-answer feedback is provided after the retrieval attempt ...
Neurodevelopmental oscillatory basis of speech processing in noise
(ELSEVIER, 2023)
Humans’ extraordinary ability to understand speech in noise relies on multiple processes that develop with age. Using magnetoencephalography (MEG), we characterize the underlying neuromaturational basis by quantifying how ...
