Basque-Spanish bilingual children’s expressive and receptive grammatical abilities
(Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism, 2019)
Expressive-receptive gaps in lexical abilities have been documented for bilingual children, but few studies have investigated whether a similar gap is observed at the grammatical level. The current study assessed grammatical ...
Speech Rhythm Convergence as a Social Coalition Signal
(Evolutionary Psychology, 2019)
Patterns of nonverbal and verbal behavior of interlocutors become more similar as communication progresses. Rhythm
entrainment promotes prosocial behavior and signals social bonding and cooperation. Yet, it is unknown if ...
Any leftovers from a discarded prediction? Evidence from eye-movements during sentence comprehension
(Language, Cognition and Neuroscience, 2019)
We investigated how listeners use gender-marked adjectives to adjust lexical predictions during
sentence comprehension. Participants listened to sentence fragments in Spanish (e.g. “The witch
flew to the village on her…”) ...
What bilateral damage of the superior parietal lobes tells us about visual attention disorders in developmental dyslexia
(Neuropsychologia, 2019)
Neuroimaging studies have identified the superior parietal lobules bilaterally as the neural substrates of reduced
visual attention (VA) span in developmental dyslexia. It remains however unclear whether the VA span ...
What absent switch costs and mixing costs during bilingual language comprehension can tell us about language control.
(Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2019)
In the current study, we set out to investigate language control, which is the process that minimizes cross-language interference, during bilingual language comprehension. According to current theories of bilingual language ...
Attachment and Concord of Temporal Adverbs: Evidence From Eye Movements
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2019)
The present study examined the processing of temporal adverbial phrases such as
“last week,” which must agree in temporal features with the verb they modify. We
investigated readers’ sensitivity to this feature match or ...
Synchrony, metastability, dynamic integration, and competition in the spontaneous functional connectivity of the human brain
(NeuroImage, 2019)
The human brain is functionally organized into large-scale neural networks that are dynamically interconnected. Multiple short-lived states of resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) identified transiently synchronized ...
Contextual priors do not modulate action prediction in children with autism
(Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019)
Bayesian accounts of autism suggest that this disorder may be rooted in an
impaired ability to estimate the probability of future events, possibly owing
to reduced priors. Here, we tested this hypothesis within the action ...
Tracking the time course of letter visual-similarity effects during word recognition: A masked priming ERP investigation
(Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2019)
Visual similarity effects during the early stages of word processing have been consistently found for letter-like digits and symbols. However, despite its relevance for models of word recognition, evidence for letter ...
I’m Doing Better on My Own: Social Inhibition in Vocabulary Learning in Adults
(Frontiers in Psychology, 2019)
Vocabulary learning is better achieved by children facing a teacher than when presented to the same teacher through video (so-called “video deficit” effect), which has significant implications for toddlers’ education. Since ...
