When “He” Can Also Be “She”: An ERP Study of Reflexive Pronoun Resolution in Written Mandarin Chinese
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)
The gender information in written Chinese third person pronouns is not symmetrically encoded: the character for “he” (yes, with semantic radical yes, meaning human) is used as a default referring to every individual, while ...
Converging Evidence for Differential Specialization and Plasticity of Language Systems
(The Journal of Neuroscience, 2020)
Functional specialization and plasticity are fundamental organizing principles of the brain. Since the mid-1800s, certain cognitive
functions have been known to be lateralized, but the provenance and flexibility of ...
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 ...
Oscillatory and Structural Signatures of Language Plasticity in Brain Tumor Patients: a Longitudinal Study
(Wiley, 2021-04-15)
Recent evidence suggests that damage to the language network triggers its functional reorganization. Yet, the spectro-temporal fingerprints of this plastic rearrangement and its relation to anatomical changes is less well ...
Selective Adaptation in Speech: Measuring the Effects of Visual and Lexical Contexts
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2021)
Speech selective adaptation is a phenomenon in which repeated presentation of a speech stimulus alters
subsequent phonetic categorization. Prior work has reported that lexical, but not multisensory, context
influences ...
Lexico-semantic access and audiovisual integration in the aging brain: Insights from mixed-effects regression analyses of event-related potentials
(ELSEVIER, 2022)
We investigated how aging modulates lexico-semantic processes in the visual (seeing written items), auditory
(hearing spoken items) and audiovisual (seeing written items while hearing congruent spoken items) modalities. ...
Decoding and encoding models reveal the role of mental simulation in the brain representation of meaning
(Royal Society Open Science, 2020)
How the brain representation of conceptual knowledge varies
as a function of processing goals, strategies and task-factors
remains a key unresolved question in cognitive neuroscience.
In the present functional magnetic ...
The Bilingual Lexicon, Back and Forth: Electrophysiological Signatures of Translation Asymmetry
(ELSEVIER, 2022)
Mainstream theories of first and second language (L1, L2) processing in bilinguals are crucially
informed by word translation research. A core finding is the translation asymmetry effect, typified by slower performance
in ...
The role of visual feedback in detecting and correcting typing errors: A signal detection approach
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2021)
This study examined the role of external information in monitoring language production. In a typing-to-dictation
task, participants were deprived of all or part of visual feedback. Data were analyzed using signal ...
Adult Chinese Spanish L2ers’ acquisition of phi-agreement and temporal concord: The role of morphosyntactic features and adverb/subject-verb distance
(Frontiers, 2022)
While phi-agreement and concord are suggested to differ in nature during the first language (L1) acquisition, the acquisition of adverb-verb TC and SV person/number agreement by Chinese Spanish second language (L2) learners ...
