Asymmetric Switch Costs in Numeral Naming and Number Word Reading: Implications for Models of Bilingual Language Production
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)One approach used to gain insight into the processes underlying bilingual language comprehension and production examines the costs that arise from switching languages. For unbalanced bilinguals, asymmetric switch costs are ... -
Cross-Language Modulation of Visual Attention Span: An Arabic-French-Spanish Comparison in Skilled Adult Readers
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)In delineating the amount of orthographic information that can be processed in parallel during a single fixation, the visual attention (VA) span acts as a key component of the reading system. Previous studies focused on ... -
Do Diacritical Marks Play a Role at the Early Stages of Word Recognition in Arabic?
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2016)A crucial question in the domain of visual word recognition is whether letter similarity plays a role in the early stages of visual word processing. Here we focused on Arabic because in this language there are various ... -
Do handwritten words magnify lexical effects in visual word recognition?
(The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2016)An examination of how the word recognition system is able to process handwritten words is fundamental to formulate a comprehensive model of visual word recognition. Previous research has revealed that the magnitude of ... -
Lexical organization of language-ambiguous and language-specific words in bilinguals
(The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2016)Previous research has shown the importance of sublexical orthographic cues in determining the language of a given word when the two languages of a bilingual reader share the same script. In this study, we explored the ... -
LSE-Sign: A lexical database for Spanish Sign Language
(Behavior Research Methods, 2016)The LSE-Sign database is a free online tool for selecting Spanish Sign Language stimulus materials to be used in experiments. It contains 2,400 individual signs taken from a recent standardized LSE dictionary, and a ... -
Not everybody sees the ness in the darkness: individual differences in masked suffix priming
(Frontiers Media, 2016)The present study explores the role of individual differences in polymorphemic word recognition. Participants completed a masked priming lexical decision experiment on suffixed words in which targets could be preceded by ... -
On the nature of consonant/vowel differences in letter position coding: Evidence from developing and adult readers
(British Journal of Psychology, 2016)In skilled adult readers, transposed-letter effects (jugde-JUDGE) are greater for consonant than for vowel transpositions. These differences are often attributed to phonological rather than orthographic processing. To ... -
Relative meaning frequencies for 578 homonyms in two Spanish dialects: A cross-linguistic extension of the English eDom norms
(Behavior Research Methods, 2016)Relative meaning frequency is a critical factor to consider in studies of semantic ambiguity. In this work, we examined how this measure may change across the European and Rioplatense dialects of Spanish, as well as how ... -

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 ... -
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 ...
