Speaker Accent Modulates the Effects of Orthographic and Phonological Similarity on Auditory Processing by Learners of English
(Frontiers, 2022)
The cognate effect refers to translation equivalents with similar form between
languages—i.e., cognates, such as “band” (English) and “banda” (Spanish)—being
processed faster than words with dissimilar forms—such as, ...
Frequency-based foveal load modulates semantic parafoveal-on-foveal effects
(Elsevier, 2022)
During reading, we can process words allocated to the parafoveal visual region. Our ability to
extract parafoveal information is determined by the availability of attentional resources, and by
how these are distributed ...
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 ...
Reproducible protocol to obtain and measure first-order relay human thalamic white-matter tracts
(ELSEVIER, 2022)
The “primary ”or “first-order relay ”nuclei of the thalamus feed the cerebral cortex with information about on- going activity in the environment or the subcortical motor systems. Because of the small size of these nuclei ...
Compensatory cross‑modal effects of sentence context on visual word recognition in adults
(Reading and Writing, 2021)
Reading involves mapping combinations of a learned visual code (letters) onto
meaning. Previous studies have shown that when visual word recognition is challenged
by visual degradation, one way to mitigate these negative ...
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 ...
Neural Processing Underlying Executive Functions in Bilinguals: “Heads I Win, Tails You Lose”
(Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021)
Many studies have claimed bilingualism strengthens the neural mechanisms that underpin
executive functions and enhances cognition in the elderly (Bialystok, 2017). Nevertheless, the field
of bilingualism research has ...
Lag-Optimized Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent Cerebrovascular Reactivity Estimates Derived From Breathing Task Data Have a Stronger Relationship With Baseline Cerebral Blood Flow
(Frontiers, 2022)
Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), an important indicator of cerebrovascular health,
is commonly studied with the Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent functional MRI
(BOLD-fMRI) response to a vasoactive stimulus. Theoretical ...
Task-relevant representations and cognitive control demands modulate functional connectivity from ventral occipito-temporal cortex during object recognition tasks
(OXFORD, 2022)
The left ventral occipito-temporal cortex (vOTC) supports extraction and processing of visual features. However, it has remained unclear whether left vOTC-based functional connectivity (FC) differs according to task-relevant ...
Maintenance cost in the processing of subject-verb dependencies
(APA American Psychological Association, 2022)
Although research in sentence comprehension has suggested that processing long-distance dependencies
involves maintenance between the elements that form the dependency, studies on maintenance of
long-distance subject–verb ...
