Does language switching behavior rely on general executive functions?
<p>The assumption that everyday language switching trains bilinguals’
executive functions (EF) presupposes that language switching engages
domain-general EF. This study examined associations between three types
of ...
Parafoveal access to word stem during reading: An eye movement study
<p>Previous studies (Hyönä, Yan, & Vainio, 2018; Yan et al., 2014) have
demonstrated that in morphologically rich languages a word's
morphological status is processed parafoveally to be used in modulating
saccadic ...

Top-Down Processing and Nature Connectedness Predict Psychological and Physiological Effects of Nature
Exposure to natural environments has positive psychological effects. These effects have been explained from an evolutionary perspective, emphasizing humans' innate preference for natural stimuli. We tested whether top-down ...
Lexize: A test to quickly assess vocabulary knowledge in Finnish
Proficiency in a language is strongly related to how well and how many words one knows. Vocabulary knowledge correlates with reading comprehension and general communication ability. Due to the increasing amount of research ...
Text reading in English as a second language: Evidence from the Multilingual Eye-Movements Corpus
Research into second language (L2) reading is an exponentially growing field. Yet, it still has a relatively short supply of comparable, ecologically valid data from readers representing a variety of first languages (L1). ...
Event-related potential correlates of learning to produce novel foreign phonemes
<p>Learning to pronounce a foreign phoneme requires an individual to acquire a motor program that enables the reproduction of the new acoustic target sound. This process is largely based on the use of auditory feedback to detect pronunciation errors to adjust vocalization. While early auditory evoked neural activity underlies automatic detection and adaptation to vocalization errors, little is known about the neural correlates of acquiring novel speech targets. To investigate the neural processes that mediate the learning of foreign phoneme pronunciation, we recorded event-related potentials when participants (N 19) pronounced native or foreign phonemes. Behavioral results indicated that the participants’ pronunciation of the foreign phoneme improved during the experiment. Early auditory responses (N1 and P2 waves, approximately 85–290 ms after the sound onset) revealed no differences between foreign and native phonemes. In contrast, the amplitude of the frontocentrally distributed late slow wave (LSW, 320–440 ms) was modulated by the pronunciation of the foreign phonemes, and the effect changed during the experiment, paralleling the improvement in pronunciation. These results suggest that the LSW may reflect higher-order monitoring processes that signal successful pronunciation and help learn novel phonemes.<br></p>...
Modality-specific and modality-general electrophysiological correlates of visual and auditory awareness: Evidence from a bimodal ERP experiment
To date, most studies on the event-related potential (ERP) correlates of conscious perception have examined a single perceptual modality. We compared electrophysiological correlates of visual and auditory awareness in the ...
