Etienne Thoret 2023. Nature Reviews Psychology, September  —  @HAL Humans are experts in recognition tasks such as recognizing the emotion shown in a face. A central question in psychology is what sensory information humans use to achieve these feats. For instance, researchers might wonder which part of a face allows recognition of the emotions of […]

Laure Tosatto, Joël Fagot, and Arnaud Rey. 2023. Journal of Comparative Psychology 137 (3): 191–99 — @HAL Chunking is an important cognitive process allowing the compression of information in short-term memory. The aim of this study is to compare the dynamics of chunking during the learning of a visuo-motor sequence in humans (Homo sapiens) and […]

Arnaud Rey, and Joël Fagot. 2023. Learning & Behavior, January.   —  @HAL Recursive sequence generation (i.e., the ability to transfer recursive patterns to novel items) was recently reported in crows (Liao et al., 2022, Science Advances, 8[44], eabq3356). Here, we argue that although the reported data are certainly compatible with the recursion hypothesis, they can […]

Jeremy Yeaton, Laure Tosatto, Joël Fagot, Jonathan Grainger, and Arnaud Rey. 2023. Learning & Behavior, June. —  @HAL Chunking is an important cognitive process allowing the compression of information in short-term memory. The aim of this study is to compare the dynamics of chunking during the learning of a visuo-motor sequence in humans (Homo sapiens) […]

Snežana Todorović, Jean-Luc Anton, Julien Sein, Bruno Nazarian, Valérie Chanoine, Birgit Rauchbauer, Sonja A. Kotz, and Elin Runnqvist. 2023. Neurobiology of Language, August, 1–21. —  @HAL In a functional magnetic resonance imaging study, we examined speech error monitoring in a cortico-cerebellar network for two contrasts: (a) correct trials with high versus low articulatory error probability […]

Deborah Flatot-Blin, Arnaud Rey, Flavie Derynck, Olivier Fossard, and Stephanie Khalfa. 2023. Healthcare 11 (15): 2226 — @HAL Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is one of the therapies recommended by the World Health Organization (2013) to treat posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Although efficient, repeated exposure to the traumatic memory may reduce its acceptability […]

Li Hai Tan, Charles A. Perfetti, Johannes C. Ziegler, and Bruce McCandliss. 2023. Frontiers in Neuroscience 17 (June): 1147156. —  @HAL Reading is an essential skill, necessary not only for success in school, but for maintaining a high quality of life in increasingly literate societies. Changes in technology have altered reading formats and increased the […]

Etienne Thoret, Sølvi Ystad, and Richard Kronland-Martinet. 2023. Communications Biology 6 (1): 671  —  @HAL The human auditory system is designed to capture and encode sounds from our surroundings and conspecifics. However, the precise mechanisms by which it adaptively extracts the most important spectro-temporal information from sounds are still not fully understood. Previous auditory models […]

Ambre Denis-Noël, Pascale Colé, Deirdre Bolger, and Chotiga Pattamadilok 2023. Scientific Studies of Reading, May, 1–21. —  @HAL Purpose: In adults with dyslexia (DYS), the persistent influence of phonological deficits on spoken language processing has mainly been examined in either perceptual tasks or those tapping complex cognitive operations. Much less attention is devoted to spoken […]

Théo Desbordes, Yair Lakretz, Valérie Chanoine, Maxime Oquab, Jean-Michel Badier, Agnès Trébuchon, Romain Carron, Christian-G. Bénar, Stanislas Dehaene, and Jean-Rémi King. 2023. The Journal of Neuroscience, JN-RM-1163-22. —  @HAL A sentence is more than the sum of its words: its meaning depends on how they combine with one another. The brain mechanisms underlying such semantic […]
