The Scientific Study of Consciousness Cannot and Should Not Be Morally Neutral
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Soto, David
; ; (SAGE, 2023)
A target question for the scientific study of consciousness is how dimensions of consciousness, such as the ability to feel pain and pleasure or reflect on one’s own experience, vary in different states and animal species. ... -
The Spanish General Knowledge Norms
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)This study introduces the Spanish adaptation of the General Knowledge Norms first created by Nelson and Narens (1980) and updated by Tauber et al. (2013). Following a procedure akin to that used in preceding studies and ... -
The specificity of the neural response to speech at birth
(http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/%28ISSN%291467-7687, 2018)In this work we ask whether at birth, the human brain responds uniquely to speech, or if similar activation also occurs to a non-speech surrogate ‘language’. We compare neural activation in newborn infants to the language ... -
The time course of processing handwritten words: An ERP investigation
(Neuropsychologia, 2021)Behavioral studies have shown that the legibility of handwritten script hinders visual word recognition. Furthermore, when compared with printed words, lexical effects (e.g., word-frequency effect) are magnified for less ... -
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 ... -
Theta oscillations mediate preactivation of highly expected word initial phonemes
(Scientific Reports, 2018)Prediction has been proposed to be a fundamental neurocognitive mechanism. However, its role in language comprehension is currently under debate. In this magnetoencephalography study we aimed to find evidence of word-form ... -
Theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling in auditory cortex is modulated by language proficiency
(WILEY, 2023)The coordination between the theta phase (3–7 Hz) and gamma power (25–35 Hz) oscillations (namely theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling, PAC) in the auditory cortex has been proposed as an essential neural mechanism ... -
Third-language learning affects bilinguals’ production in both their native languages: A longitudinal study of dynamic changes in L1, L2 and L3 vowel production
(Journal of Phonetics, 2019)This study examined the impact of a study abroad (SA) English program on English and native vowel production. Basque-Spanish bilingual adolescents were assessed on their vowel production in English, Basque and Spanish ... -
Time-Resolved Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Analysis: Current Status, Challenges, and New Directions
(Brain Connectivity, 2017)Time-resolved analysis of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data allows researchers to extract more information about brain function than traditional functional connectivity analysis, yet a ... -
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 ... -
Top-down beta oscillatory signaling conveys behavioral context in early visual cortex.
(Scientific Reports, 2018)Top-down modulation of sensory processing is a critical neural mechanism subserving numerous important cognitive roles, one of which may be to inform lower-order sensory systems of the current ‘task at hand’ by conveying ... -
Towards a theory of individual differences in statistical learning
(Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society: Biological Sciences, 2017)In recent years, statistical learning (SL) research has seen a growing interest in tracking individual performance in SL tasks, mainly as a predictor of linguistic abilities. We review studies from this line of research ... -
Tracing the interplay between syntactic and lexical features: fMRI evidence from agreement comprehension
(NeuroImage, 2018)The current fMRI study was designed to investigate whether the processing of different gender-related cues embedded in nouns affects the computation of agreement dependencies and, if so, where this possible interaction ... -
Tracking second language immersion across time: Evidence from a bi-directional longitudinal cross-linguistic fMRI study
(Elsevier, 2021)Parallel cohorts of Hebrew speakers learning English in the U.S., and American-English speakers learning Hebrew in Israel were tracked over the course of two years of immersion in their L2. We utilised a functional MRI ... -
Tracking the time course of letter visual-similarity effects during word recognition: A masked priming ERP investigation
(Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2019)Visual similarity effects during the early stages of word processing have been consistently found for letter-like digits and symbols. However, despite its relevance for models of word recognition, evidence for letter ... -
Trauma-Related Distress During the COVID-19 Pandemic In 59 Countries
(SAGE, 2022)The COVID-19 pandemic has upended life like few other events in modern history, with differential impacts on varying population groups. This study examined trauma-related distress among 6,882 adults ages 18 to 94 years old ... -
Typing expertise in a large student population
(SPRINGER, 2022)Typing has become a pervasive mode of language production worldwide, with keyboards fully integrated in a large part of many daily activities. The bulk of the literature on typing expertise concerns highly trained professional ... -
Typological Differences Influence the Bilingual Advantage in Metacognitive Processing
(APA American Psychological Association, 2022)Previous studies showed a bilingual advantage in metacognitive processing (tracking one’s own cognitive performance) in linguistic tasks. However, bilinguals do not constitute a homogeneous population, and it was unclear ... -
Using Kinect to classify Parkinson’s disease stages related to severity of gait impairment
Dranca, Lacramioara; Lopez de Abetxuko Ruiz de Mendarozketa, Alfredo Goñi; Illarramendi Echave, María Aránzazu; Navalpotro Gomez, Irene; Delgado Alvarado, Manuel (2018)
Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease associated with motor problems such as gait impairment. Different systems based on 3D cameras, accelerometers or gyroscopes have been used in related works ... -
Using serial dependence to predict confidence across observers and cognitive domains
; ; Soto, David (SPRINGER, 2023)
Our perceptual system appears hardwired to exploit regularities of input features across space and time in seemingly stable environments. This can lead to serial dependence effects whereby recent perceptual representations ...
