Statistical learning and L2 literacy acquisition: Towards a neurobiological theory of assimilating novel writing systems (L2STAT)

Date du début: 1 juil. 2016, Date de fin: 30 juin 2021,

The overarching goal of L2STAT is to understand L2 literacy acquisition by bringing together, for the first time, recent advances in the neurobiology of statistical learning (SL), a detailed statistical characterization of the world’s writing systems, and neurally-plausible general principles of learning, representation, and processing. L2STAT aims to provide a new theoretical framework that consi ...

The time-course of visual, orthographic, phonological and semantic information during written word processing in skilled deaf readers: evidence from eye movements and ERPs (TIME COURSE)

Date du début: 1 mai 2017, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2019,

Learning to read is a great challenge for deaf children due to their limited access to the sounds andlimited knowledge of the language they learn to read. Deaf adults’illiteracy levels aremuch higher than that of their hearing peers, but some deaf individuals can and do become skilled readers, though in a qualitatively different way than typically observed in hearing readers. New evidence shows th ...

From speech and print to meaning: an integrated account of word recognition in young and older adults. (VIAWORD)

Date du début: 1 juin 2016, Date de fin: 31 mai 2018,

Language is a uniquely human and complex cognitive process that is vital for our successful everyday interactions in the world. I propose to investigate neurophysiological mechanisms associated with orthographic, phonological and semantic processes of word recognition and how they are modulated by print (visual) and spoken (auditory) inputs (phase 1), and by healthy aging (phase 2). In phase 3, I ...

When language meets memory: the role of language exposure in semantic- episodic memory interaction in bilinguals (BilMemBrain)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2015, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2017,

Understanding the implications of the level a language use in how we remember our past is a challenging and relevant goal in our growing bilingual world. Research evidence on memory and bilingualism converges in the idea that the level of language use changes the ability to access semantic representations. At the same time, individuals´ capacity to access semantic representations facilitates to pr ...

Language activation and control in the unimodal and bimodal bilingual lexicon (BiBiCrossLang)

Date du début: 1 juil. 2015, Date de fin: 30 juin 2017,

Bilinguals activate words from both languages when listening, reading or speaking in one language, and engage non-linguistic cognitive control abilities to resolve cross-linguistic competition. Most studies of cross-language activation have focused on activation between languages through overlapping phonological representations. However, cross-language activation also occurs in deaf or hearing bil ...

Multimodal, high-resolution modeling of the thalamus for neuroimaging studies: application to dyslexia (THALAMODEL)

Date du début: 1 juin 2015, Date de fin: 31 mai 2017,

The thalamus is a brain structure that is responsible for important functions (e.g., sensory systems, sleep, the motor system, spoken language) which are distributed over its 12 nuclei . While recent advances in MRI technology have made it possible to image the thalamic nuclei in vivo, the lack of specific computational tools to analyze the images forces most research studies to either treat the t ...

Bi-literacy: Learning to read in L1 and in L2 (BILITERACY)

Date du début: 1 mai 2012, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2017,

"Learning to read is probably one of the most exciting discoveries in our life. Using a longitudinal approach, the research proposed examines how the human brain responds to two major challenges: (a) the instantiation a complex cognitive function for which there is no genetic blueprint (learning to read in a first language, L1), and (b) the accommodation to new statistical regularities when learni ...

Predicting Sequential Learning from Oscillatory Activity in Human MEG-Data (PSLOAHMD)

Date du début: 1 mars 2014, Date de fin: 29 févr. 2016,

Sequence learning has been centrally involved in the acquisition of many different forms of behavior including language, visual object recognition and motor learning. The neurobiological and cognitive mechanisms associated with the knowledge of sequences, however, remain only partially understood. Findings from experimental psychology and computational models indicate that statistical learning rul ...

Brain dynamics and patterns of activity signature of inner speech during recall and conceptual emergence in bilinguals (NINAME)

Date du début: 1 mars 2014, Date de fin: 29 févr. 2016,

Frege, in 1882, puts forward a philosophical account of language as symbols permitting the emergence of conceptual knowledge from individual memories. Since then, the influence of language on the episodic memory system and on the emergence of conceptual knowledge stays an undisclosed thesis. Life experiences are transformed into episodic memory via the hippocampus, the hippocampus in interplay wit ...

Cross-linguistic and Cross-population Verb Processing (CCVP)

Date du début: 17 nov. 2012, Date de fin: 16 nov. 2015,

Verb processing is broadly described as being problematic in agrammatic aphasia, a medical consequence of left frontal hemisphere damage. Errors in verb processing are also observed in children with Specific Language Impairment, a developmental language learning disability. The aim of the present study, entitled “Cross-linguistic and Cross-population Verb Processing” is to collect and compare verb ...

In-depth investigation of the non-stationary dynamics of resting-state brain activity and its impact on behaviour and cognition (R&B BRAIN)

Date du début: 1 juin 2013, Date de fin: 31 mai 2015,

The brain is never at rest. Whether performing a task or mind wandering, the human brain exhibits a rich mixture of transient, evoked activity and ongoing spontaneous fluctuations, reflecting the non-stationary and dynamic nature of neuronal activity. This activity connects functionally specialized but widely distributed cortical regions in order to support complex cognitive functions. The non-sta ...

How words and semantic are stored in the brain? (WORD-SEM STORE)

Date du début: 3 févr. 2013, Date de fin: 2 févr. 2015,

"Reading consists in establishing a correspondence between the physical form of the printed word and a semantic interpretation stored in the permanent memory. This project will investigate in greater detail how this orthographic form information, called lexical representation, is mapped onto word concepts, called semantic representations. In other words, how these two qualitatively different codes ...

Brain and Behavior of Math Cognition in bilinguals. Implications for dyscalculia (BIMATH)

Date du début: 1 juil. 2011, Date de fin: 30 juin 2013,

"The extent to which mathematical representations and processing depend on language is a question of active debate. Some authors defend a key role of language in some mathematical operations, others posit a complete independence between these two domains. Bilingualism can help to elucidate this question due to the variety of number codes that a bilingual manages. Recently we have provided evidence ...

Bilingualism Impact on Reading Development (BIRD)

Date du début: 1 juil. 2011, Date de fin: 30 juin 2013,

"With the European Union, a growing group of children learns how to read in two languages at the same time. Interestingly, the Basque language is used in Spanish and French regions of Europe and many children must learn to read in Basque in parallel to either an opaque (French) or a shallow (Spanish) orthography. This project investigates the foundations of bilingual reading acquisition, taking in ...

Vocal athletes: Behavioural and brain bases for phonetic aptitude in monolingual and bilingual learners of a foreign language (Vocal Athletes)

Date du début: 1 juin 2011, Date de fin: 31 mai 2013,

Many learners of a foreign language struggle to correctly pronounce newly-learned speech sounds so that they can be understood by native listeners. Yet many others achieve this with apparent ease. What is responsible for these large individual differences in phonetic aptitude? Are better speakers also better listeners? The aim of this proposal is to determine whether there is a link between skills ...
