Learning and Recognition of a Non-conscious Sequence of Events in Human Primary Visual Cortex
(Current Biology, 2016)
Human primary visual cortex (V1) has long been
associated with learning simple low-level visual discriminations
[1] and is classically considered outside
of neural systems that support high-level cognitive
behavior in ...
Listeners beware: Speech production may be bad for learning speech sounds
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2016)
Spoken language requires individuals to both perceive and produce speech. Because both
processes access lexical and sublexical representations, it is commonly assumed that perception
and production involve cooperative ...
Testing Bilingual Educational Methods: A Plea to End the Language-Mixing Taboo
(Language Learning, 2016)
Language mixing in a given class is often avoided in bilingual education because
of the generally held belief that one subject should be taught in only one language
and one person should stick to one language in order ...
Relative meaning frequencies for 578 homonyms in two Spanish dialects: A cross-linguistic extension of the English eDom norms
(Behavior Research Methods, 2016)
Relative meaning frequency is a critical factor to
consider in studies of semantic ambiguity. In this work, we
examined how this measure may change across the European
and Rioplatense dialects of Spanish, as well as how ...
Are go/no-go tasks preferable to two-choice tasks in response time experiments with older adults?
(Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 2016)
Recent research has shown that, in response time (RT) tasks, the go/no-go response
procedure produces faster (and less noisy) RTs and fewer errors than the two-choice
response procedure in children, although these ...
Evaluation of multi-echo ICA denoising for task based fMRI studies: Block designs, rapid event-related designs, and cardiac-gated fMRI
(NeuroImage, 2016)
Multi-echo fMRI, particularly the multi-echo independent component analysis (ME-ICA) algorithm, has previously proven useful for increasing the sensitivity and reducing false positives for functional MRI (fMRI) based resting ...
Automated Segmentation of the Human Hippocampus Along Its Longitudinal Axis
(Human Brain Mapping, 2016)
The human hippocampal formation is a crucial brain structure for memory and cognitive function that is closely related to other subcortical and cortical brain regions. Recent neuroimaging studies have revealed differences ...
What usage can do: The effect of language dominance on simultaneous bilinguals’ morphosyntactic processing
(Linguistics Vanguard, 2016)
Even when bilinguals learn both languages from birth and achieve high levels of proficiency, they
rarely use their languages to the same degree. Recent findings suggest that individual differences in bilingual
profile ...
Mutual influences between native and non-native vowels in production: Evidence from short-term visual articulatory feedback training
(Journal of Phonetics, 2016)
We studied mutual influences between native and non-native vowel production during learning, i.e., before and after short-term visual articulatory feedback training with non-native sounds. Monolingual French speakers were ...
Native Language Influence in the Segmentation of a Novel Language
(Language Learning and Development, 2016)
A major problem in second language acquisition (SLA) is the segmentation
of fluent speech in the target language, i.e., detecting the boundaries of
phonological constituents like words and phrases in the speech stream. ...
