Auditory Selective Adaptation Moment by Moment, at Multiple Timescales
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2021)
Over the course of a lifetime, adults develop perceptual categories for the vowels and consonants in
their native language, based on the distribution of those sounds in their environment. However, in any
given listening ...
The role of metacognition in recognition of the content of statistical learning
(Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2021)
Despite theoretical debate on the extent to which statistical learning is incidental or modulated by explicit instructions and
conscious awareness of the content of statistical learning, no study has ever investigated the ...
Differences in word learning in children: Bilingualism or linguistic experience?
(Applied Psycholinguistics, 2021)
The current study examines how monolingual children and bilingual children with languages
that are orthotactically similar and dissimilar learn novel words depending on their
characteristics. We contrasted word learning ...
Population Receptive Field Shapes in Early Visual Cortex Are Nearly Circular
(The Journal of Neuroscience, 2021)
The visual field region where a stimulus evokes a neural response is called the receptive field (RF). Analytical tools combined
with functional MRI (fMRI) can estimate the RF of the population of neurons within a voxel. ...
Neural entrainment to speech and nonspeech in dyslexia: Conceptual replication and extension of previous investigations
(Cortex, 2021)
Whether phonological deficits in developmental dyslexia are associated with impaired neural sampling of auditory information is still under debate. Previous findings suggested that dyslexic participants showed atypical ...
An evolutionary account of intermodality differences in statistical learning
(Wiley, 2021)
The cognitive mechanisms underlying statistical learning are engaged for the purposes of speech processing and
language acquisition. However, these mechanisms are shared by a wide variety of species that do not possess ...
Temporal uncertainty enhances suppression of neural responses to predictable visual stimuli
(NeuroImage, 2021)
Contextual information triggers predictions about the content ( “what ”) of environmental stimuli to update an in- ternal generative model of the surrounding world. However, visual information dynamically changes across ...
Functional connectivity of the hippocampus and its subfields in resting-state networks
(European Journal of Neuroscience, 2021)
Many neuroimaging studies have shown that the hippocampus participates in a
resting-state
network called the default mode network. However, how the hippocampus
connects to the default mode network, whether the hippocampus ...
Speech-brain phase coupling is enhanced in low contextual semantic predictability conditions
(Neuropsychologia, 2021)
Semantic prediction and cortical entrainment to the acoustic landmarks of the speech envelope are two fundamental
yet qualitatively different mechanisms that facilitate speech comprehension. However, it is not clear ...
Statistical Learning and Language Impairments: Toward More Precise Theoretical Accounts
(Perspectives on Psychological Science, 2021)
Statistical-learning (SL) theory offers an experience-based account of typical and atypical spoken and written language
acquisition. Recent work has provided initial support for this view, tying individual differences in ...
