Processing argument structure complexity in Basque-Spanish bilinguals
(Taylor & Francis, 2023)
Previous research on argument structure (AS) has shown that verb processing costs scale with the number of arguments and as a result of non-canonical thematic mapping. The Basque language has unique AS: Basque unergatives ...
Event-related potentials in the study of L2 sentence processing: A scoping review of the decade 2010-2020
(Taylor & Francis, 2023)
Event-related potentials (ERPs) have become widespread in second language acquisition (SLA) research and a growing body of literature has been produced in recent years. We surveyed 61 SLA papers that use ERPs to study L2 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Morphological decomposition in Chinese compound word recognition: Electrophysiological evidence
(ELSEVIER, 2023)
The present study examined the effect of both morphological complexity and semantic transparency in Chinese compound word recognition. Using a visual lexical decision task, our electrophysiological results showed that ...
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 ...
How do Hong Kong bilingual children with Chinese dyslexia perceive dyslexia and academic learning? An interview study of metaphor analysis
(SPRINGER, ONLINE 202)
While extensive quantitative research has shed light on the cognitive mechanisms
of dyslexia, few mixed-methods studies have been conducted to examine the perceptions
of and attitudes towards learning in children with ...
