On the overlap between bilingual language control and domain-general executive control
(Acta Psychologica, 2016)
We explored the overlap between bilingual language control (bLC) and domain-general executive control (EC)
by focusing on inhibitory control processes. We tested 62 bilinguals in linguistic and non-linguistic switching
tasks ...
Bayesian longitudinal segmentation of hippocampal substructures in brain MRI using subject-specific atlases
(NeuroImage, 2016)
The hippocampal formation is a complex, heterogeneous structure that consists of a number of distinct,
interacting subregions. Atrophy of these subregions is implied in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases,
most ...
The Role of Morphological Markedness in the Processing of Number and Gender Agreement in Spanish: An Event-Related Potential Investigation
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)
Current morphological theory assumes that feature values, such as masculine and feminine or singular and plural, are asymmetrically represented. That is, one member of the opposition (e.g. feminine for gender, plural for ...
Some people are ‘‘More Lexical” than others
(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 ...
Commentary on "Sentential influences on acoustic-phonetic processing: a Granger causality analysis of multimodal imaging data"
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)
Disparate semantic ambiguity effects from semantic processing dynamics rather than qualitative task differences
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)
A core challenge in the semantic ambiguity literature is understanding why the number and
relatedness among a word’s interpretations are associated with different effects in different
tasks. An influential account (Hino ...
Developmental changes associated with cross-language similarity in bilingual children
(Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 2016)
The main goal of the present study was to investigate how the degree of orthographic
overlap between translation equivalents influences bilingual word recognition
processes at different stages of reading development. ...
Sensorimotor activation related to speaker vs. listener role during natural conversation
(Neuroscience Letters, 2016)
Although the main function of speech is communication, the brain bases of speaking and listening are typically
studied in single subjects, leaving unsettled how brain function supports interactive vocal exchange.
Here ...
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 ...
Does Location Uncertainty in Letter Position Coding Emerge Because of Literacy Training?
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016)
In the quest to unveil the nature of the orthographic code, a useful strategy is to examine the
transposed-letter effect (e.g., JUGDE is more confusable with its base word, JUDGE, than the
replacement-letter nonword ...
