Genome-wide analyses of individual differences in quantitatively assessed reading- and language-related skills in up to 34,000 people
(PNAS, 2022)
The use of spoken and written language is a fundamental human capacity. Individual differences
in reading- and language-related skills are influenced by genetic variation, with
twin-based heritability estimates of 30 to ...
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 ...
Open access dataset of task-free hemodynamic activity in 4-monthold infants during sleep using fNIRS
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2022)
Spontaneous, task-free, hemodynamic activity of the brain provides useful information about its functional organization, as it can describe how different brain regions communicate to each other. Neuroimaging studies measuring ...
Highlighting the lack of neuropsychologists and speech therapists in healthcare services towards an accurate (pre‐ and postoperative) cognitive assessment in low‐grade glioma patients
(WILEY, 2022)
Key points
Due to the slow growth of Low‐grade gliomas (LGGs), cognitive impairments can be quite difficult to detect at early stages
There is a lack of staff specialized on the cognitive and emotional assessment of ...
Lexiland: A Tablet-based Universal Screener for Reading Difficulties in the School Context
(SAGE, 2022)
Massive and timely screening of the student population for early signs of reading difficulties is needed to implement timely effective remediation of these difficulties. However, traditional approaches are costly and hard ...
Mind the Orthography: Revisiting the Contribution of Prereading Phonological Awareness to Reading Acquisition
(APA, 2022)
Reading acquisition is based on a set of preliteracy skills that lay the foundation for future reading abilities.
Phonological awareness—the ability to identify and manipulate the sound units of oral language—
has been ...
Oscillatory dynamics underlying noun and verb production in highly proficient bilinguals
(Nature Research, 2022-01)
[EN] Words representing objects (nouns) and words representing actions (verbs) are essential components of speech across languages. While there is evidence regarding the organizational principles governing neural representation ...
Input quality and speech perception development in bilingual infants' first year of life
(WILEY, 2022)
Individual differences in infants’ native phonological development have been
linked to the quantity and quality of infant-directed
speech (IDS). The effects of
parental and infant bilingualism on this relation in 131 ...
