Second-language word recognition in noise: Interdependent neuromodulatory effects of semantic context and crosslinguistic interactions driven by word form similarity
(NeuroImage, 2021)
Spoken language comprehension is a fundamental component of our cognitive skills. We are quite proficient at deciphering words from the auditory input despite the fact that the speech we hear is often masked by noise such ...
Examining Bilingual Language Switching Across the Lifespan in Cued and Voluntary Switching Contexts
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2020)
How bilinguals control their languages and switch between them may change across the life span.
Furthermore, bilingual language control may depend on the demands imposed by the context. Across 2
experiments, we examined ...
The Relationship Between Phonemic Category Boundary Changes and Perceptual Adjustments to Natural Accents
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020)
People often experience difficulties when they first hear a novel accent. Prior research has shown that
relatively fast natural accent accommodation can occur. However, there has been little investigation of
the underlying ...
Reconciling the Contradictory Effects of Production on Word Learning: Production May Help at First, but It Hurts Later
(APA American Psychological Association, 2022)
Does saying a novel word help to recognize it later? Previous research on the effect of production on
this aspect of word learning is inconclusive, as both facilitatory and detrimental effects of production
are reported. ...
Psycholinguists should resist the allure of linguistic units as perceptual units
(Journal of Memory and Language, 2020)
The current study has empirical, methodological, and theoretical components. It draws heavily on two recent papers: Bowers et al. (2016) (JML, 87, 71–83) used results from selective adaptation experiments to argue that ...
Semantic priming effects can be modulated by crosslinguistic interactions during second-language auditory word recognition
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2020)
The current study investigates how second language auditory word recognition, in early and highly proficient Spanish–Basque (L1-L2) bilinguals, is influenced by crosslinguistic phonological-lexical interactions and semantic ...
Intermodality differences in statistical learning: phylogenetic and ontogenetic influences
(WILEY, 2022)
In Basque–Spanish bilinguals, statistical learning (SL) in the visual modality was more efficient on nonlinguistic
than linguistic input; in the auditory modality, we found the reverse pattern of results.We hypothesize ...
Phonemic contrasts under construction? Evidence from Basque
(Infancy, 2020)
Attunement theories of speech perception development suggest
that native-language exposure is one of the main factors
shaping infants' phonemic discrimination capacity within
the second half of their first year. Here, ...
Selective Adaptation in Speech: Measuring the Effects of Visual and Lexical Contexts
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2021)
Speech selective adaptation is a phenomenon in which repeated presentation of a speech stimulus alters
subsequent phonetic categorization. Prior work has reported that lexical, but not multisensory, context
influences ...
Lexico-semantic access and audiovisual integration in the aging brain: Insights from mixed-effects regression analyses of event-related potentials
(ELSEVIER, 2022)
We investigated how aging modulates lexico-semantic processes in the visual (seeing written items), auditory
(hearing spoken items) and audiovisual (seeing written items while hearing congruent spoken items) modalities. ...
