Development of the visual white matter pathways mediates development of electrophysiological responses in visual cortex
(Human Brain Mapping, 2021)
The latency of neural responses in the visual cortex changes systematically across
the lifespan. Here, we test the hypothesis that development of visual white matter
pathways mediates maturational changes in the latency ...
Rapid online assessment of reading ability
(Scientific Reports, 2021)
An accurate model of the factors that contribute to individual differences in reading ability depends
on data collection in large, diverse and representative samples of research participants. However, that
is rarely ...
The presence of a foreign accent introduces lexical integration difficulties during late semantic processing
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2021)
Previous research suggests that native listeners may be more tolerant to syntactic errors when they
are produced in a foreign accent. However, studies investigating this topic within the semantic
domain remain conflicting. ...
How the COVID‐19 pandemic has changed our lives: A study of psychological correlates across 59 countries
(Journal of Clinical Psychology, 2021)
Objective: This study examined the impact of the COVID‐
19 pandemic and subsequent social restrictions or quarantines
on the mental health of the global adult population.
Method: A sample of 6,882 individuals (Mage = ...
Automaticity in the reading circuitry
(Brain and Language, 2021)
Skilled reading requires years of practice associating visual symbols with speech sounds. Over the course of the
learning process, this association becomes effortless and automatic. Here we test whether automatic activation ...
Sleeping when the world locks down: Correlates of sleep health during the COVID-19 pandemic across 59 countries
(Sleep Health, 2021)
COVID-19 escalated into a global pandemic affecting countries around the world. As communities shut down to reduce disease spread, all aspects of life have been altered, including sleep. This study investigated changes in ...
Anatomy and physiology of word‑selective visual cortex: from visual features to lexical processing
(Brain Structure and Function, 2021)
Over the past 2 decades, researchers have tried to uncover how the human brain can extract linguistic information from
a sequence of visual symbols. The description of how the brain’s visual system processes words and ...
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 ...
Reading-Related Brain Changes in Audiovisual Processing: Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal MEG Evidence
(The Journal of Neuroscience, 2021)
The ability to establish associations between visual objects and speech sounds is essential for human reading. Understanding
the neural adjustments required for acquisition of these arbitrary audiovisual associations can ...
The Processing of Spanish Article– Noun Gender Agreement by Monolingual and Bilingual Toddlers
(Language and Speech, 2021)
We assessed monolingual Spanish and bilingual Spanish-Basque toddlers’ sensitivity to gender
agreement in correct vs. incorrect Spanish noun phrases (definite article + noun), using a
spontaneous preference listening ...
