How Brain-Related Observations Can Be Used to Support Learners to Acquire Full Literacy? Brain-Related Research as a Support Mechanism to Help Learners to Acquire Full Literacy.
(MDPI, 2023)
Possibly some of the most important skills that one can have are those needed to become fully literate. We all wish our children to reach such a goal. Unfortunately, the focus of attention in reading research has been on ...
Heat exposure following encoding can interfere with subsequent recognition memory
(NATURE, 2023)
Correlational studies suggest that high temperatures may impair online cognitive performance and learning processes. Here, we tested the hypothesis that heat exposure blocks offline memory consolidation. We report two ...
Grey Matter Reshaping of Language-Related Regions Depends on Tumor Lateralization
(MDPI, 2023)
A brain tumor in the left hemisphere can decrease language laterality as assessed through fMRI. However, it remains unclear whether or not this decreased language laterality is associated with a structural reshaping of the ...
Using TMS to evaluate a causal role for right posterior temporal cortex in talker-specific phonetic processing
(ELSEVIER, 2023)
Theories suggest that speech perception is informed by listeners’ beliefs of what phonetic variation is typical of a talker. A previous fMRI study found right middle temporal gyrus (RMTG) sensitivity to whether a phonetic ...
Decoding numeracy and literacy in the human brain: insights from MEG and MVPA
(NATURE, 2023)
Numbers and letters are the fundamental building blocks of our everyday social interactions. Previous studies have focused on determining the cortical pathways shaped by numeracy and literacy in the human brain, partially ...
Increased top-down semantic processing in natural speech linked to better reading in dyslexia
(ELSEVIER, 2023)
Early research proposed that individuals with developmental dyslexia use contextual information to facilitate lexical access and compensate for phonological deficits. Yet at present there is no corroborating neuro-cognitive ...
Déjà-lu: When Orthographic Representations are Generated in the Absence of Orthography
(UBIQUITY PRESS, 2023)
When acquiring novel spoken words, English-speaking children generate preliminary orthographic representations even before seeing the words’ spellings (Wegener et al., 2018). Interestingly, these orthographic skeletons are ...
Noise Modulates Crosslinguistic Effects on Second-Language Auditory Word Recognition
(ASHA, 2023)
Purpose: This study investigates whether crosslinguistic effects on auditory word
recognition are modulated by the quality of the auditory signal (clear and noisy).
Method: In an online experiment, a group of Spanish–English ...
Flexibility and stability of speech sounds: The time course of lexically-driven recalibration
(ELSEVIER, 2023)
Perceptual stability is obviously advantageous, but being able to adjust to the prevailing environment is also adaptive.
Previous research has identified ways in which the categorization of speech sounds shifts as a ...
Comparing end-tidal CO 2 , respiration volume per time (RVT), and average gray matter signal for mapping cerebrovascular reactivity amplitude and delay with breath-hold task BOLD fMRI
(ELSEVIER, 2023)
Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), defined as the cerebral blood flow response to a vasoactive stimulus, is an imag- ing biomarker with demonstrated utility in a range of diseases and in typical development and aging ...
