Addressee Identity and Morphosyntactic Processing in Basque Allocutive Agreement
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2017)
Information about interlocutor identity is pragmatic in nature and has traditionally been distinguished from explicitly coded linguistic information, including mophosyntax. Study of speaker identity in language processing ...
Does learning a language in the elderly enhance switching ability?
(Journal of Neurolinguistics, 2017)
The bilingual advantage has been subject of research repeatedly over the last decade. Many studies have supported the idea of the existence of a higher functioning in domain general cognitive abilities among bilingual ...
Morphological Variability in Second Language Learners: An Examination of Electrophysiological and Production Data
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017)
We examined sources of morphological variability in second language (L2) learners of Spanish whose native language (L1) is English, with a focus on L1-L2 similarity, morphological markedness, and knowledge type (receptive ...
Hierarchical levels of representation in language prediction: The influence of first language acquisition in highly proficient bilinguals
(Cognition, 2017)
Language comprehension is largely supported by predictive mechanisms that account for the ease and
speed with which communication unfolds. Both native and proficient non-native speakers can efficiently
handle contextual ...
Generalization From Newly Learned Words Reveals Structural Properties of the Human Reading System
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2017)
Connectionist accounts of quasiregular domains, such as spelling–sound correspondences in English,
represent exception words (e.g., pint) amid regular words (e.g., mint) via a graded “warping” mechanism.
Warping allows ...
Emotional Diglossia in Multilingual Classroom Environments: A Proposal
(Psychology and Cognitive Sciences Open Journal, 2017)
Are we aware of the multiple cognitive consequences of being immersed in multilingual learning
contexts? In this opinion article, some recent findings from the field of cognitive neuroscience
and education has been ...
Effect of interstimulus interval on cortical proprioceptive responses to passive finger movements
(European Journal of Neuroscience, 2017)
Shortening of the interstimulus interval (ISI) generally leads to attenuation of cortical sensory responses. For proprioception, however,
this ISI effect is still poorly known. Our aim was to characterize the ISI dependence ...
Balancing the 2 Hemispheres in Simple Calculation: Evidence From Direct Cortical Electrostimulation
(Cerebral Cortex, 2017)
How do the parietal lobes contribute to simple calculation? Clinical and neuroimaging methods, which are based mainly on
correlational evidence, have provided contrasting results so far. Here we used direct cortical ...
Electrophysiological evidence for differences between fusion and combination illusions in audiovisual speech perception
(European Journal of Neuroscience, 2017)
Incongruent audiovisual speech stimuli can lead to perceptual illusions such as fusions or combinations. Here, we investigated
the underlying audiovisual integration process by measuring ERPs. We observed that visual ...
MEG Insight into the Spectral Dynamics Underlying Steady Isometric Muscle Contraction
(The Journal of Neuroscience, 2017)
To gain fundamental knowledge on how the brain controls motor actions, we studied in detail the interplay between MEG signals from the primary sensorimotor (SM1) cortex and the contraction force of 17 healthy adult humans ...
