Meaning-based attentional guidance as a function of foveal and task-related cognitive loads
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2019)
The depth of parafoveal word processing depends on the amount of cognitive resources available. Whether this principle applies to the parafoveal semantic processing of multiple words remains, however, controversial. This ...
Better than native: Tone language experience enhances English lexical stress discrimination in Cantonese-English bilingual listeners
(Cognition, 2019)
While many second language (L2) listeners are known to struggle when discriminating non-native features absent in their first language (L1), no study has reported that L2 listeners perform better than native listeners in ...
Cardiac afferent activity modulates early neural signature of error detection during skilled performance
(NeuroImage, 2019)
Behavioral adaptations during performance rely on predicting and evaluating the consequences of our actions through action monitoring. Previous studies revealed
that proprioceptive and exteroceptive signals contribute to ...
Separate lanes for adding and reading in the white matter highways of the human brain
(Nature Communications, 2019)
Math and reading involve distributed brain networks and have both shared (e.g. encoding of
visual stimuli) and dissociated (e.g. quantity processing) cognitive components. Yet, to date,
the shared vs. dissociated gray ...
Not All Bilinguals Are the Same: A Call for More Detailed Assessments and Descriptions of Bilingual Experiences
(Behavioral Sciences, 2019)
No two bilinguals are the same. Differences in bilingual experiences can affect
language-related processes but have also been proposed to modulate executive functioning. Recently,
there has been an increased interest in ...
Feature-Based Attention Samples Stimuli Rhythmically
(Current Biology, 2019)
Attention supports the allocation of resources to
relevant locations and objects in a scene. Under
most conditions, several stimuli compete for neural
representation. Attention biases neural representation
toward the ...
Cortical Tracking of Speech-in-Noise Develops from Childhood to Adulthood
(The Journal of Neuroscience,, 2019)
In multitalker backgrounds, the auditory cortex of adult humans tracks the attended speech stream rather than the global auditory scene.
Still, it is unknown whether such preferential tracking also occurs in children whose ...
A comparison of homonym meaning frequency estimates derived from movie and television subtitles, free association, and explicit ratings
(Behavior Research Methods, 2019)
Most words are ambiguous, with interpretation dependent on context. Advancing theories of ambiguity resolution is important for any general theory of language processing, and for resolving inconsistencies in observed ...
Voices in the mental lexicon: Words carry indexical information that can affect access to their meaning
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2019)
The speech signal carries both linguistic and non-linguistic information (e.g., a talker’s voice qualities; referred to as indexical information). There is evidence that indexical information can affect some aspects of ...
Phase−amplitude coupling between theta and gamma oscillations adapts to speech rate
(Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2019)
Low- and high-frequency cortical oscillations play an important role in speech processing. Low-frequency neural oscillations in the delta (<4Hz) and theta (4–8 Hz) bands entrain to the prosodic and syllabic rates of speech, ...
