What absent switch costs and mixing costs during bilingual language comprehension can tell us about language control.
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2019)In the current study, we set out to investigate language control, which is the process that minimizes cross-language interference, during bilingual language comprehension. According to current theories of bilingual language ... -
What bilateral damage of the superior parietal lobes tells us about visual attention disorders in developmental dyslexia
(Neuropsychologia, 2019)Neuroimaging studies have identified the superior parietal lobules bilaterally as the neural substrates of reduced visual attention (VA) span in developmental dyslexia. It remains however unclear whether the VA span ... -
What Can Glioma Patients Teach Us about Language (Re)Organization in the Bilingual Brain: Evidence from fMRI and MEG
(Cancers, 2021)Recent evidence suggests that the presence of brain tumors (e.g., low-grade gliomas) triggers language reorganization. Neuroplasticity mechanisms called into play can transfer linguistic functions from damaged to healthy ... -
What Determines Visual Statistical Learning Performance? Insights From Information Theory
(Cognitive Science. A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2019)In order to extract the regularities underlying a continuous sensory input, the individual elements constituting the stream have to be encoded and their transitional probabilities (TPs) should be learned. This suggests ... -
What do your eyes reveal about your foreign language? Reading emotional sentences in a native and foreign language
(PLoS ONE, 2017)Foreign languages are often learned in emotionally neutral academic environments which differ greatly from the familiar context where native languages are acquired. This difference in learning contexts has been argued to ... -
What exactly is learned in visual statistical learning? Insights from Bayesian modeling
(Cognition, 2019)It is well documented that humans can extract patterns from continuous input through Statistical Learning (SL) mechanisms. The exact computations underlying this ability, however, remain unclear. One outstanding controversy ... -
What usage can do: The effect of language dominance on simultaneous bilinguals’ morphosyntactic processing
(Linguistics Vanguard, 2016)Even when bilinguals learn both languages from birth and achieve high levels of proficiency, they rarely use their languages to the same degree. Recent findings suggest that individual differences in bilingual profile ... -
When A Nonnative Accent Lets You Spot All the Errors: Examining the Syntactic Interlanguage Benefit
(MIT PRESS, 2022)In our continuously globalizing world, cross-cultural and cross-linguistic communications are far from exceptional. A wealth of research has indicated that the processing of nonnative-accented speech can be challenging for ... -

When is irony influenced by communicative constraints? ERP evidence supporting interactive models
(European Journal of Neuroscience, 2019)Distinct theoretical proposals have described how communicative constraints (contextual biases, speaker identity) impact verbal irony processing. Modular models assume that social and contextual factors have an effect ... -
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 ... -
When the end matters: influence of gender cues during agreement computation in bilinguals
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2017)The present event-related potential (ERP) study was aimed at testing whether form-function mappings can differently affect sentence comprehension in early bilinguals with a range of linguistic profiles. Basque–Spanish ... -
When the “Tabula” is Anything but “Rasa:” What Determines Performance in the Auditory Statistical Learning Task?
(WILEY, 2022)How does prior linguistic knowledge modulate learning in verbal auditory statistical learning (SL) tasks? Here, we address this question by assessing to what extent the frequency of syllabic co-occurrences in the learners’ ... -
When “He” Can Also Be “She”: An ERP Study of Reflexive Pronoun Resolution in Written Mandarin Chinese
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)The gender information in written Chinese third person pronouns is not symmetrically encoded: the character for “he” (yes, with semantic radical yes, meaning human) is used as a default referring to every individual, while ... -
Where do dialectal effects on speech processing come from? Evidence from a cross-dialect investigation
Larraza Arnanz, Saioa
; ; Oñederra Olaizola, Miren Lourdes (The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2017)
Accented speech has been seen as an additional impediment for speech processing; it usually adds linguistic and cognitive load to the listener's task. In the current study we analyse where the processing costs of regional ... -
Whistling shares a common tongue with speech: bioacoustics from real-time MRI of the human vocal tract
(Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019)Most human communication is carried by modulations of the voice. However, a wide range of cultures has developed alternative forms of communication that make use of a whistled sound source. For example, whistling is used ... -
White matter microstructure of attentional networks predicts attention and consciousness functional interactions
(Brain Structure and Function, 2018)Attention is considered as one of the pre-requisites of conscious perception. Phasic alerting and exogenous orienting improve conscious perception of near-threshold information through segregated brain networks. Using a ... -
Who are you talking to? The role of addressee identity in utterance comprehension
(Psychophysiology, 2020)Experimental evidence suggests that speaker and addressee quickly adapt to each other from the earliest moments of sentence processing, and that interlocutor-related information is rapidly integrated with other sources ... -
Whole‑genome sequencing identifies functional noncoding variation in SEMA3C that cosegregates with dyslexia in a multigenerational family
(Human Genetics, 2021)Dyslexia is a common heritable developmental disorder involving impaired reading abilities. Its genetic underpinnings are thought to be complex and heterogeneous, involving common and rare genetic variation. Multigenerational ... -
Why space is not one-dimensional: Location may be categorical and imagistic
(Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2017)In our commentary, we raise concerns with the idea that location should be considered a gestural component of sign languages. We argue that psycholinguistic studies provide evidence for location as a “categorical” element ...
