Lexical organization of language-ambiguous and language-specific words in bilinguals
(The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2016)
Previous research has shown the importance of sublexical orthographic cues in determining the language of a given word when the two languages of a bilingual reader share the same script. In this study, we explored the ...
Emotional Diglossia in Multilingual Classroom Environments: A Proposal
(Psychology and Cognitive Sciences Open Journal, 2017)
Are we aware of the multiple cognitive consequences of being immersed in multilingual learning
contexts? In this opinion article, some recent findings from the field of cognitive neuroscience
and education has been ...
The Emotional Impact of Being Myself: Emotions and Foreign-Language Processing
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016)
Native languages are acquired in emotionally rich contexts, whereas foreign languages are typically
acquired in emotionally neutral academic environments. As a consequence of this difference, it has been
suggested that ...
What do your eyes reveal about your foreign language? Reading emotional sentences in a native and foreign language
(PLoS ONE, 2017)
Foreign languages are often learned in emotionally neutral academic environments which differ greatly from the familiar context where native languages are acquired. This difference in learning contexts has been argued to ...
Differences in word learning in children: Bilingualism or linguistic experience?
(Applied Psycholinguistics, 2021)
The current study examines how monolingual children and bilingual children with languages
that are orthotactically similar and dissimilar learn novel words depending on their
characteristics. We contrasted word learning ...
Changes in the Sensitivity to Language-Specific Orthographic Patterns With Age
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2020)
How do bilingual readers of languages that have similar scripts identify a language
switch? Recent behavioral and electroencephalographic results suggest that they rely
on orthotactic cues to recognize the language of ...
The effects of language and emotionality of stimuli on vocabulary learning
(PLOS ONE, 2020)
Learning new content and vocabulary in a foreign language can be particularly difficult. Yet,
there are educational programs that require people to study in a language they are not
native speakers of. For this reason, ...
The effects of contextual diversity on incidental vocabulary learning in the native and a foreign language
(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 ...
Examining Bilingual Language Switching Across the Lifespan in Cued and Voluntary Switching Contexts
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2020)
How bilinguals control their languages and switch between them may change across the life span.
Furthermore, bilingual language control may depend on the demands imposed by the context. Across 2
experiments, we examined ...
Incidental changes in orthographic processing in the native language as a function of learning a new language late in life
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2021)
Acquiring a second alphabetic language also entails learning a new set of orthographic rules and
specific patterns of grapheme combinations (namely, the orthotactics). The present longitudinal
study aims to investigate ...
