World knowledge and novel information integration during L2 speech comprehension
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2017)
In this study we explore whether world knowledge (WK) processing differs between individuals listening to their native (L1)
or their non-native (L2) language. We recorded event-related brain potentials in L1 and L2 speakers ...
Hierarchical levels of representation in language prediction: The influence of first language acquisition in highly proficient bilinguals
(Cognition, 2017)
Language comprehension is largely supported by predictive mechanisms that account for the ease and
speed with which communication unfolds. Both native and proficient non-native speakers can efficiently
handle contextual ...
Word and object recognition during reading acquisition: MEGevidence
(Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2017)
Studies on adults suggest that reading-induced brain changes might not be limited to linguistic processes. It is still unclear whether these results can be generalized to reading development. The present study shows to ...
Cross-modal noise compensation in audiovisual words
(Scientific Reports, 2017)
Perceiving linguistic input is vital for human functioning, but the process is complicated by the fact that the incoming signal is often degraded. However, humans can compensate for unimodal noise by relying on simultaneous ...
