Classification of Overt and Covert Speech for Near-Infrared Spectroscopy-Based Brain Computer Interface
(Sensors, 2018)
People suffering from neuromuscular disorders such as locked-in syndrome (LIS)
are left in a paralyzed state with preserved awareness and cognition. In this study, it was
hypothesized that changes in local hemodynamic ...
On linguistic properties of verbal number systems: A cross-linguistic study of number transcoding errors observed in a Basque--French bilingual patient with aphasia
(Lingua, 2018)
Theories that plantation creoles were all born as pidgins at West African coast slave castles, including that proposed in McWhorter (2000), have not fared well among creolists, amidst a preference for supposing that creoles ...
Working Memory Deficits After Lesions Involving the Supplementary Motor Area.
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2018)
The Supplementary Motor Area (SMA)—located in the superior and medial aspects of
the superior frontal gyrus—is a preferential site of certain brain tumors and arteriovenous
malformations, which often provoke the so-called ...
Early and late indications of item-specific control in a Stroop mouse tracking study
(PLoS ONE, 2018)
Previous studies indicated that cognitive conflict continues to bias actions even after a movement
has been initiated. The present paper examined whether cognitive control also biases
actions after movement initiation. ...
Spatialization in working memory is related to literacy and reading direction: Culture “literarily” directs our thoughts
(Cognition, 2018)
The ability to maintain arbitrary sequences of items in the mind contributes to major cognitive faculties, such as language, reasoning, and episodic memory. Previous research suggests that serial order working memory is ...
On the effects of regional accents on memory and credibility
(Acta Psychologica, 2018)
The information we obtain from how speakers sound—for example their accent—affects how we interpret the
messages they convey. A clear example is foreign accented speech, where reduced intelligibility and speaker's
social ...
Reanalyzing language expectations: Native language knowledge modulates the sensitivity to intervening cues during anticipatory processing
(Psychophysiology, 2018)
We investigated how native language experience shapes anticipatory language processing. Two groups of bilinguals (either Spanish or Basque natives) performed a word matching task (WordMT) and a picture matching task ...
Motor dexterity and strength depend upon integrity of the attention-control system
(PNAS, 2018)
Attention control (or executive control) is a higher cognitive function involved in response selection and inhibition, through close interactions with the motor system. Here, we tested whether influences of attention control ...
Anatomical and functional changes in the brain after simultaneous interpreting training: A longitudinal study
(Cortex, 2018)
In the recent literature on bilingualism, a lively debate has arisen about the long-term effects of bilingualism on cognition and the brain. These studies yield inconsistent results, in part because they rely on comparisons ...
Prediction is Production: The missing link between language production and comprehension
(Scientific Reports, 2018)
Language comprehension often involves the generation of predictions. It has been hypothesized that such prediction-for-comprehension entails actual language production. Recent studies provided evidence that the production ...
