Investigating the Extent to which Distributional Semantic Models Capture a Broad Range of Semantic Relations
(WILEY, 2023)
Distributional semantic models (DSMs) are a primary method for distilling semantic information from corpora. However, a key question remains: What types of semantic relations among words do DSMs detect? Prior work typically ...
Features matter: the role of number and gender features during the online processing of subject- and object- relative clauses in Italian
(Taylor & Francis, 2023)
In this study, we investigated whether different morphosyntactic features, i.e. number and gender, play a role during the adult online comprehension of subject relative clauses (SRC) and object relative clauses (ORC), in ...
Everyday language input and production in 1001 children from 6 continents
(PNAS, 2023)
Language is a universal human ability, acquired readily by young children, who otherwise struggle with many basics of survival. And yet, language ability is variable across individuals. Naturalistic and experimental ...
Metacognition in Second Language Speech Perception and Production
(WILEY, 2023)
In this study, we assessed metacognition in nonnative language speech perception and production. Spanish novice learners of French identified and produced the French vowel contrast /ø/–/œ/ and, on each trial, rated their ...
Brain structure, phenotypic and genetic correlates of reading performance
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2023)
Reading is an evolutionarily recent development that recruits and tunes brain circuitry connecting primary- and language-processing regions. We investigated whether metrics of the brain’s physical structure correlate with ...
Bad maps may not always get you lost: Lexically driven perceptual recalibration for substituted phonemes
(SPRINGER, 2023)
The speech perception system adjusts its phoneme categories based on the current speech input and lexical context. This is known as lexically driven perceptual recalibration, and it is often assumed to underlie accommodation ...
Cognitive reserve counteracts typical neural activity changes related to ageing
(ELSEVIER, 2023)
Studies have shown that older adults with high Cognitive Reserve (HCR) exhibit better executive functioning than their low CR (LCR) counterparts. However, the neural processes linked to those differences are unclear. This ...
Functional near infrared spectroscopy detects cortical activation changes concurrent with memory loss in postmenopausal women with Type II Diabetes
(SPRINGER, 2023)
Older adults with Type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM) experience mild cognitive impairment, specifically in the domain of recall/working memory. No consistent causative structural cortical deficits have been identified in persons ...
Verbal production dynamics and plasticity: functional contributions of language and executive control systems
(OXFORD, 2023)
Bilingual language production requires both language knowledge and language control in order to communicate in a target language. Learning or improving a language in adulthood is an increasingly common undertaking, and ...
Functional underpinnings of feedback-enhanced test-potentiated encoding
(OXFORD, 2023)
The testing effect describes the finding that retrieval practice enhances memory performance compared to restudy practice. Prior evidence demonstrates that this effect can be boosted by providing feedback after retrieval ...
