Neural substrates of subphonemic variation and lexical competition in spoken word recognition
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2019)
In spoken word recognition, subphonemic variation influences lexical activation, with sounds near a category boundary increasing phonetic competition as well as lexical competition. The current study investigated the ...
Flexible and adaptive processes in speech perception
(The Speech Processing Lexicon, 2017)
The perception of speech can be flexible, influenced by multiple sources of information, and plastic, tuned over time to cumulative experience. This chapter provides examples of cognitive neuroscience research, presented ...
Brain-behavior relationships in incidental learning of non-native phonetic categories
(Brain and Language, 2019)
Research has implicated the left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG) in mapping acoustic-phonetic input to sound category representations, both in native speech perception and non-native phonetic category learning. At issue is ...
Written sentence context effects on acoustic-phonetic perception: fMRI reveals cross-modal semantic-perceptual interactions
(Brain and Language, 2019)
This study examines cross-modality effects of a semantically-biased written sentence context on the perception of an acoustically-ambiguous word target identifying neural areas sensitive to interactions between sentential ...
Second-language word recognition in noise: Interdependent neuromodulatory effects of semantic context and crosslinguistic interactions driven by word form similarity
(NeuroImage, 2021)
Spoken language comprehension is a fundamental component of our cognitive skills. We are quite proficient at deciphering words from the auditory input despite the fact that the speech we hear is often masked by noise such ...
Comprehension of Morse Code Predicted by Item Recall From Short-Term Memory
(Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021)
Purpose: Morse code as a form of communication became
widely used for telegraphy, radio and maritime communication,
and military operations, and remains popular with ham radio
operators. Some skilled users of Morse code ...
Semantic priming effects can be modulated by crosslinguistic interactions during second-language auditory word recognition
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2020)
The current study investigates how second language auditory word recognition, in early and highly proficient Spanish–Basque (L1-L2) bilinguals, is influenced by crosslinguistic phonological-lexical interactions and semantic ...
Phonatory and articulatory representations of speech production in cortical and subcortical fMRI responses
(Scientific Reports, 2020)
Speaking involves coordination of multiple neuromotor systems, including respiration, phonation and articulation. Developing non-invasive imaging methods to study how the brain controls these systems is critical for ...
Noise Modulates Crosslinguistic Effects on Second-Language Auditory Word Recognition
(ASHA, 2023)
Purpose: This study investigates whether crosslinguistic effects on auditory word
recognition are modulated by the quality of the auditory signal (clear and noisy).
Method: In an online experiment, a group of Spanish–English ...
Compensatory cross‑modal effects of sentence context on visual word recognition in adults
(Reading and Writing, 2021)
Reading involves mapping combinations of a learned visual code (letters) onto
meaning. Previous studies have shown that when visual word recognition is challenged
by visual degradation, one way to mitigate these negative ...
