When more is more. L2 agreement improves when listeners can rely on both noun and verbal features
(Šnek Publishing, 2022)
English verbal agreement has been shown to be a particularly
challenging domain in both first and second language acquisition. In this
study, we tested the comprehension of sentences with masked and unmasked
agreement ...
Just give it time: Differential effects of disruption and delay on perceptual learning
(SPRINGER, 2022)
Speech perception and production are critical skills when acquiring a new language. However, the nature of the relationship
between these two processes is unclear, particularly for non-native speech sound contrasts. ...
Body into Narrative: Behavioral and Neurophysiological Signatures of Action Text Processing After Ecological Motor Training
(ELSEVIER, 2022)
Embodied cognition research indicates that sensorimotor training can influence action concept processing.
Yet, most studies employ isolated (pseudo)randomized stimuli and require repetitive single-effector
responses, ...
Discovery of 42 genome-wide significant loci associated with dyslexia
(SPRINGER NATURE, 2022)
Reading and writing are crucial life skills but roughly one in ten children are
affected by dyslexia, which can persist into adulthood. Family studies of
dyslexia suggest heritability up to 70%, yet few convincing genetic ...
The tone atlas of perceptual discriminability and perceptual distance: Four tone languages and five language groups
(ELSEVIER, 2022)
Some prior investigations suggest that tone perception is flexible, reasonably independent of native phonology, whereas others suggest it is constrained by native phonology. We address this issue in a systematic and ...
Language specificity in cortical tracking of speech rhythm at the mora, syllable, and foot levels
(NATURE, 2022)
Recent research shows that adults’ neural oscillations track the rhythm of the speech signal. However, the extent to which this tracking is driven by the acoustics of the signal, or by language-specific processing remains ...
The Acoustic Features and Didactic Function of Foreigner-Directed Speech: A Scoping Review
(ASHA, 2022)
Purpose: This scoping review considers the acoustic features of a clear
speech register directed to nonnative listeners known as foreigner-directed
speech (FDS). We identify vowel hyperarticulation and low speech rate ...
Infants’ Sensitivity to Lexical Tone and Word Stress in Their First Year: A Thai and English Cross- Language Study
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
Non-tone language infants’ native language recognition is based first on
supra-segmental then segmental cues, but this trajectory is unknown for
tone-language infants. This study investigated non-tone (English) and ...
Seeing a talking face matters: The relationship between cortical tracking of continuous auditory ‐visual speech and gaze behaviour in infants, children and adults
(ELSEVIER, 2022)
An auditory-visual speech benefit, the benefit that visual speech cues bring to auditory speech perception, is experienced from early on in infancy and continues to be experienced to an increasing degree with age. While ...
A short-form version of the Australian English Communicative Development Inventory
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
Purpose: The Australian English Communicative Development Inventory (OZI) is a 558-item parent report tool for
assessing language development at 12–30 months. Here, we introduce the short form (OZI-SF), a 100-item, ...
