Prediction is Production: The missing link between language production and comprehension
(Scientific Reports, 2018)
Language comprehension often involves the generation of predictions. It has been hypothesized that such prediction-for-comprehension entails actual language production. Recent studies provided evidence that the production ...
White matter microstructure of attentional networks predicts attention and consciousness functional interactions
(Brain Structure and Function, 2018)
Attention is considered as one of the pre-requisites of conscious perception. Phasic alerting and exogenous orienting improve conscious perception of near-threshold information through segregated brain networks. Using a ...
Regional Hippocampal Atrophy and Higher Levels of Plasma Amyloid-Beta Are Associated With Subjective Memory Complaints in Nondemented Elderly Subjects
(The Journals of Gerontology: Series A, 2016)
Background:
Evidence suggests a link between the presence of subjective memory complaints (SMC) and lower volume of the hippocampus, one of the first regions to show neuropathological lesions in Alzheimer’s disease. ...
Afasiaren azterketa hizkuntza ezberdinetan neurozientzia kognitiboaren ikuspegitik (Aphasia research in different languages from the perspective of cognitive neuroscience)
(EKAIA Euskal Herriko Unibertsitateko Zientzi eta Teknologi Aldizkaria, 2017)
The goal of this paper is to define aphasia and aphasiology from the perspective
of cognitive neuroscience. In addition, it emphasizes the need to study aphasia
in different languages for a better understanding of brain ...
How ageing changes the mnemonic bias of visual behaviour
(Visual Cognition, 2017)
Ageing is associated with deficits in cognitive control, including attention and working memory
processes. However, how ageing influences the interactions between these cognitive systems is
not well understood. The present ...
On the bilingualism effect in task switching∗
(Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2018)
In one task-switching experiment, we compared bilinguals and monolinguals to explore the reliability of the bilingualism effect on the n-2 repetition cost. In a second task-switching experiment, we tested another group of ...
Effects of age on inhibitory control are affected by task-specific features
(Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2018)
Older adults have been argued to have impoverished inhibitory control compared to younger adults. However, these effects of age may depend on processing speed and their manifestation may furthermore depend on the type of ...
Top-down beta oscillatory signaling conveys behavioral context in early visual cortex.
(Scientific Reports, 2018)
Top-down modulation of sensory processing is a critical neural mechanism subserving numerous important cognitive roles, one of which may be to inform lower-order sensory systems of the current ‘task at hand’ by conveying ...
Inhibitory Control for Emotional and Neutral Scenes in Competition: An Eye-Tracking Study in Bipolar Disorder
(Biological Psychology, 2017)
This study examined the inhibitory control of attention to social scenes in manic, depressive, and euthymic episodes of bipolar disorder (BD). Two scenes were simultaneously presented (happy/threatening/neutral [target] ...
Is Bilingualism Associated With Enhanced Executive Functioning in Adults? A Meta-Analytic Review
(Psychological Bulletin, 2018)
Because of enduring experience of managing two languages, bilinguals have been argued to develop superior executive functioning compared with monolinguals. Despite extensive investigation, there is, however, no consensus ...
