Reading without phonology: ERP evidence from skilled deaf readers of Spanish
(Scientific Reports, 2021)
Reading typically involves phonological mediation, especially for transparent orthographies with
a regular letter to sound correspondence. In this study we ask whether phonological coding is a
necessary part of the reading ...
Language Switching Across Modalities: Evidence From Bimodal Bilinguals.
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, & Cognition, 2017)
This study investigated whether language control during language production in bilinguals generalizes across modalities, and to what extent the language control system is shaped by competition for the same articulators. ...
LSE-Sign: A lexical database for Spanish Sign Language
(Behavior Research Methods, 2016)
The LSE-Sign database is a free online tool for
selecting Spanish Sign Language stimulus materials to be
used in experiments. It contains 2,400 individual signs taken
from a recent standardized LSE dictionary, and a ...
Why space is not one-dimensional: Location may be categorical and imagistic
(Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2017)
In our commentary, we raise concerns with the idea that
location should be considered a gestural component of sign languages.
We argue that psycholinguistic studies provide evidence for location as a
“categorical” element ...
The neuroanatomy of bilingualism: how to turn a hazy view into the full picture
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)
The neuroanatomical bases of bilingualism have recently received intensive attention. However, it is
still a matter of debate how the brain structure changes due to bilingual experience since current
findings are highly ...
Cross-language and cross-modal activation in hearing bimodal bilinguals
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2016)
This study investigates cross-language and cross-modal activation in bimodal bilinguals.
Two groups of hearing bimodal bilinguals, natives (Experiment 1) and late learners
(Experiment 2), for whom spoken Spanish is their ...
“Hazy” or “jumbled”? Putting together the pieces of the bilingual puzzle
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2016)
Six commentaries [Bialystok, E. (2015). How hazy views become full pictures. Language, Cognition
and Neuroscience. doi:10.1080/23273798.2015.1074255; de Bruin, A., & Della Sala, S. (2015) The
importance of language use ...
Language modality shapes the dynamics of word and sign recognition
(Cognition, 2019)
Spoken words and signs both consist of structured sub-lexical units. While phonemes unfold in time in the case of
the spoken signal, visual sub-lexical units such as location and handshape are produced simultaneously in ...
Language modality and temporal structure impact processing: Sign and speech have different windows of integration
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2021)
Language comprehension depends on the ability to temporally process the periodic structure of the language
signal. In this study we investigate temporal processing of Spanish Sign Language (LSE), isolating the ...
Cross-modal and cross-language activation in bilinguals reveals lexical competition even when words or signs are unheard or unseen
(PNAS, 2022)
We exploit the phenomenon of cross-modal, cross-language activation to examine the
dynamics of language processing. Previous within-language work showed that seeing a
sign coactivates phonologically related signs, just ...
