The specificity of the neural response to speech at birth
(http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1111/%28ISSN%291467-7687, 2018)
In this work we ask whether at birth, the human brain responds uniquely to speech, or
if similar activation also occurs to a non-speech
surrogate ‘language’. We compare
neural activation in newborn infants to the language ...
Learning to Read Bilingually Modulates the Manifestations of Dyslexia in Adults
(Scientific Studies of Reading, 2018)
According to the Grain Size Accommodation hypothesis (Lallier & Carreiras, 2017), learning to read in two languages differing in orthographic consistency leads to a cross-linguistic modulation of reading and spelling ...
Phonological and orthographic coding in deaf skilled readers
(Cognition, 2017)
Written language is very important in daily life. However, most deaf people do not achieve good reading levels compared to their hearing peers. Previous research has mainly focused on their difficulties when reading in a ...
Neural correlates of phonological, orthographic and semantic reading processing in dyslexia
(NeuroImage: Clinical, 2018)
Developmental dyslexia is one of the most prevalent learning disabilities, thought to be associated with dysfunction in the neural systems underlying typical reading acquisition. Neuroimaging research has shown that readers ...
Genetic association study of dyslexia and ADHD candidate genes in a Spanish cohort: Implications of comorbid samples
(PLOS ONE, 2018)
Dyslexia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are two complex neuro-behaviorally disorders that co-occur more often than expected, so that reading disability has been linked to inattention symptoms. We ...
SPALEX: A Spanish Lexical Decision Database From a Massive Online Data Collection
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2018)
Decoding the Meaning of Unconsciously Processed Words Using fMRI-based MVPA
(NeuroImage, 2019)
Does the human brain elicit patterns of activity associated with the meaning of words in the absence of conscious awareness? Do such non-conscious semantic representations generalize across languages? This study aimed to ...
The impact of bilingualism on executive functions and working memory in young adults
(PLOS ONE, 2019)
A bilingual advantage in a form of a better performance of bilinguals in tasks tapping into executive function abilities has been reported repeatedly in the literature. However, recent research defends that this advantage ...
Is there electrophysiological evidence for a bilingual advantage in neural processes related to executive functions?
(Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 2020)
Over the last two decades, a large number of studies have concluded that bilingualism enhances executive
functions. However, other studies have reported no significant results. In addition, it is not clear how bilingualism
might ...
Attentional Fluctuations, Cognitive Flexibility, and Bilingualism in Kindergarteners
(Behavioral Sciences, 2019)
The idea of a bilingual advantage in aspects of cognitive control—including cognitive
flexibility, inhibition, working memory, and attention—is disputed. Using a sample of kindergarten children, the present study investigated ...
