Brain-to-brain entrainment: EEG interbrain synchronization while speaking and listening
(Scientific Reports, 2017)
Electroencephalographic hyperscanning was used to investigate interbrain synchronization patterns in dyads of participants interacting through speech. Results show that brain oscillations are synchronized between listener ...
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 ...
Does bilingualism shape inhibitory control in the elderly?
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2016)
Bilingualism has been argued to benefit executive functioning. However, recent research suggests that this advantage may stem from uncontrolled factors or incorrectly matched samples. In this study we test the effects of ...
Consonantal overlap effects in a perceptual matching task
(Experimental Brain Research, 2016)
This study investigates the processing of letter
position coding by exploring whether or not two explicitly
presented words that share the same consonants, but that
differ in their vowels, exert mutual interference more ...
“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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
Phonological and orthographic coding in deaf skilled readers
(Cognition, 2017)
Written language is very important in daily life. However, most deaf people do not achieve good reading levels compared to their hearing peers. Previous research has mainly focused on their difficulties when reading in a ...
