Delayed development of phonological constancy in toddlers at family risk for dyslexia
(Infant Behavior and Development, 2019)
Phonological constancy refers to infants’ ability to disregard variations in the phonetic realisation of speech sounds that do not indicate lexical
contrast, e.g., when listening to accented speech. In typically-developing ...
Integrating Bilingualism, Verbal Fluency, and Executive Functioning across the Lifespan
(Journal of Cognition and Development, 2019)
Bilingual experience has an impact on an individual’s linguistic processing
and general cognitive abilities. The relation between these
linguistic and non-linguistic domains, in turn, is mediated by individual
linguistic ...
Infant‐directed speech to infants at risk for dyslexia: A novel cross‐dyad design
(Wiley, 2020)
When mothers speak to infants at risk for developmental dyslexia, they do not hyperarticulate vowels in their infant‐directed speech (IDS). Here, we used an innovative cross‐dyad design to investigate whether the absence ...
The Role of Paired Associate Learning in Acquiring Letter-Sound Correspondences: A Longitudinal Study of Children at Family Risk for Dyslexia
(Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021)
Visual-verbal-paired associate learning (PAL) is strongly related to reading acquisition, possibly indexing a distinct cross-modal mechanism for learning letter-sound associations. We measured linguistic abilities (nonword ...
Imageability ratings across languages
(Behavior Research Methods, 2018)
Imageability is a psycholinguistic variable that indicates
how well a word gives rise to a mental image or sensory
experience. Imageability ratings are used extensively in
psycholinguistic, neuropsychological, and ...
Cross-linguistic adaptations of The Comprehensive Aphasia Test: Challenges and solutions
(Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2017)
Comparative research on aphasia and aphasia rehabilitation is challenged by the lack of comparable assessment tools across different languages. In English, a large array of tools is available, while in most other languages, ...
Toddler-directed and adult-directed gesture frequency in monolingual and bilingual caregivers
(SAGE, 2023)
Aims and objectives: This study was designed to assess whether bilingual caregivers,
compared with monolingual caregivers, modify their nonverbal gestures to match the increased
communicative and/or cognitive-linguistic ...
Multivariate word properties in fluency tasks reveal markers of Alzheimer’s dementia
(Wiley, 2024)
INTRODUCTION
Verbal fluency tasks are common in Alzheimer's disease (AD) assessments. Yet, standard valid response counts fail to reveal disease-specific semantic memory patterns. Here, we leveraged automated word-property ...
Simulating the situated-self drives hippocampo-cortical engagement during inner narration of events
(OXFORD, 2022)
We often use inner narration when thinking about past and future events. The present paradigm explicitly addresses the influence of the language used in inner narration on the hippocampus-dependent event construction ...
Brain Signatures of Embodied Semantics and Language: A Consensus Paper
(UBIQUITY PRESS, 2023)
According to embodied theories (including embodied, embedded, extended, enacted, situated, and grounded approaches to cognition), language representation is intrinsically linked to our interactions with the world around ...
