Learning Higher‐Order Transitional Probabilities in Nonhuman Primates

Arnaud Rey, Joël Fagot, Fabien Mathy, Laura Lazartigues, Laure Tosatto, Guillem Bonafos, Jean‐Marc Freyermuth, & Frédéric Lavigne Cognitive Science, 46 (4), 2022, e13121  @HAL The extraction of cooccurrences between two events, A and B, is a central learning mechanism shared by all species capable of associative learning. Formally, the co-occurrence of events A and B […]

Interaction between orthographic and graphomotor constraints in learning to write

Jérémy Danna, Marieke Longcamp, Ladislas Nalborczyk, Jean-Luc Velay, Claire Commengé, & Marianne Jover Learning and Instruction (80), August 2022, 101622  @HAL We investigated the combined effects of orthographic and graphomotor constraints as a function of handwriting proficiency in children. Twenty-four first graders, 20 third graders, and 21 fifth graders wrote single five-letter words in cursive […]

Rhythm perception is shared between audio and haptics

Corentin Bernard, Jocelyn Monnoyer, Michaël Wiertlewski, & Sølvi Ystad Scientific Reports, Nature Publishing Group, 2022, 12. A surface texture is perceived through both the sound and vibrations produced while being explored by our fingers. Because of their common origin, both modalities have a strong influence on each other, particularly at above 60 Hz for which […]

Testing the Effects of GraphoGame Against a Computer-Assisted Math Intervention in Primary School

Julie Lassault, Liliane Sprenger-Charolles, Jean-Patrice Albrand, Edouard Alavoine, Ulla Richardson, Heikki Lyytinen, & Johannes C. Ziegler Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022, pp.1 – 20. @HAL This study was designed to assess the efficiency of a French version of GraphoGame (GG) against an equally engaging math intervention (Fiete Math, FM) in a large school sample of […]

How are visemes and graphemes integrated with speech sounds during spoken word recognition? ERP evidence for supra-additive responses during audiovisual compared to auditory speech processing

Chotiga Pattamadilok & Marc Sato Brain and Language, 225, February 2022, 105058, @HAL Abstract : Articulatory gestures and orthography are connected with speech through a natural and an artificial association, respectively. This EEG study investigated whether the integrations between speech and these two visual inputs rely on the same mechanism, despite their different characteristics. A […]

Avoiding gender ambiguous pronouns in French

Kumiko Fukumura, Céline Pozniak, & F.-Xavier Alario Cognition, 218, January 2022, 104909, @HAL Abstract : Across many languages, pronouns are the most frequently produced referring expressions. We examined whether and how speakers avoid referential ambiguity that arises when the gender of a pronoun is compatible with more than one entity in the context in French. […]

Brain Activity During Antisaccades to Faces in Adolescence

Alia Afyouni, Franziska Geringswald, Bruno Nazarian, & Marie-Hélène Grosbras. Cerebral Cortex Communications, 2(4), 2021, tgab057 Full text @ HAL Abstract : Cognitive control and social perception both change during adolescence, but little is known of the interaction of these 2 processes.We aimed to characterize developmental changes in brain activity related to the influence of a […]

Temporal integration of short-duration pulse trains in cochlear implant listeners: Psychophysical and electrophysiological measurements

Olivier Macherey, Pierre Stahl, Bastien Intartaglia, Sabine Meunier, Stéphane Roman, & Daniele Schön Hearing Research, 403, April 2021, 108176 Full text @ HAL While electrically-evoked auditory brainstem response (eABR) thresholds for low-rate pulse 35 trains correlate well with behavioral thresholds measured at the same rate, the correlation is 36 much weaker with behavioral thresholds measured […]

Can we use the internet to study speech production? Yes we can! Evidence contrasting online versus laboratory naming latencies and errors

Amie Fairs & Kristof Strijkers PLoS ONE 16(10): e0258908 Full text @ HAL The closure of cognitive psychology labs around the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic has prevented in-person testing. This has caused a particular challenge for speech production researchers, as before the pandemic there were no studies demonstrating that reliable overt speech production […]

Extracting seizure onset from surface EEG with Independent Component Analysis: Insights from simultaneous scalp and intracerebral EEG

Andrei Barborica, Ioana Mindruta, Laurent Sheybani, Laurent Spinelli, Irina Oane, Constantin Pistol, Cristian Donos, Victor J López-Madrona, Serge Vulliemoz & Christian-George Bénar Neuroimage-Clinical, Elsevier, 2021, 32, pp.102838 Full text @ HAL Abstract : The success of stereoelectroencephalographic (SEEG) investigations depends crucially on the hypotheses on the putative location of the seizure onset zone. This information […]
