Auriane Boudin, Roxane Bertrand, Magalie Ochs, Philippe Blache, & Stéphane Rauzy Language Resources and Evaluation Conference, 2022 — @HAL The aim of this study is to investigate conversational feedback that contains smiles and laughter. Firstly, we propose a statistical analysis of smiles and laughter used as generic and specific feedback in a corpus of French […]
Two-Year-Olds’ Eye Movements Reflect Confidence in Their Understanding of Words
Isabelle Dautriche, Louise Goupil, Kenny Smith, Hugh Rabagliati Psychological Science, 2022. — @HAL We studied the fundamental issue of whether children evaluate the reliability of their language interpretation, that is, their confidence in understanding words. In two experiments, 2-year-olds (Experiment 1: N = 50; Experiment 2: N = 60) saw two objects and heard one […]
Typing expertise in a large student population
Svetlana Pinet, Christelle Zielinski, F.-Xavier Alario, & Marieke Longcamp Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022, 7 (1), 77 — @HAL Typing has become a pervasive mode of language production worldwide, with keyboards fully integrated in a large part of many daily activities. The bulk of the literature on typing expertise concerns highly trained professional touch-typists, […]
Inter‐individual variability in dorsal stream dynamics during word production
Catherine Liégeois-Chauvel, Anne-Sophie Dubarry, Irene Wang, Patrick Chauvel, Jorge Gonzalez-Martinez, & F.‐Xavier Alario European Journal of Neuroscience, 2022, 56 (7), 5070-5089 — @HAL The current standard model of language production involves a sensorimotor dorsal stream connecting areas in the temporo-parietal junction with those in the inferior frontal gyrus and lateral premotor cortex. These regions have […]
Age effect in expert cognitive flexibility in Guinea baboons (Papio papio)
Julie Gullstrand, Nicolas Claidière, & Joel Fagot Behavioural Brain Research (2022), 434, 114043 — @HAL Cognitive flexibility in non-human primates is traditionally measured with the conceptual set shifting task (CSST). In our laboratory, Guinea baboons (N = 24) were continuously tested with a CSST task during approximately 10 years. Our task involved the presentation of […]
Probability matching is not the default decision making strategy in human and non-human primates
Carmen Saldana, Nicolas Claidière, Joël Fagot, & Kenny Smith Scientific Reports, 2022, 12, 13092 — @HAL Probability matching has long been taken as a prime example of irrational behaviour in human decision making; however, its nature and uniqueness in the animal world is still much debated. In this paper we report a set of four […]
Magnetoencephalography can reveal deep brain network activities linked to memory processes
Víctor López-Madrona, Samuel Medina Villalon, Jean‐michel Badier, Agnès Trébuchon, Velmurugan Jayabal, Fabrice Bartolomei, Romain Carron, Andrei Barborica, Serge Vulliémoz, F.‐Xavier Alario, & Christian Bénar Human Brain Mapping, 43 (15), 4733-4749 — @HAL Recording from deep neural structures such as hippocampus noninvasively and yet with high temporal resolution remains a major challenge for human neuroscience. Although […]
Does auditory deprivation impair statistical learning in the auditory modality?
Jacques Pesnot Lerousseau, Céline Hidalgo, Stéphane Roman, & Daniele Schön Cognition 222, 105009 (2022) — @HAL Early sensory deprivation allows assessing the extent of reorganisation of cognitive functions, well beyond sensory processing. As such, it is a good model to explore the links between sensory experience and cognitive functions. One of these functions, statistical learning […]
The Role of Motor Inhibition During Covert Speech Production
Ladislas Nalborczyk, Ursula Debarnot, Marieke Longcamp, Aymeric Guillot, & F.-Xavier Alario Front. Hum. Neurosci. 16:804832 — @HAL Covert speech is accompanied by a subjective multisensory experience with auditory and kinaesthetic components. An influential hypothesis states that these sensory percepts result from a simulation of the corresponding motor action that relies on the same internal models […]
Challenges and new perspectives of developmental cognitive EEG studies
Estelle Hervé, Giovanni Mento, Béatrice Desnous, & Clément François NeuroImage 260, 119508 (2022) — @HAL Despite shared procedures with adults, electroencephalography (EEG) in early development presents many specificities that need to be considered for good quality data collection. In this paper, we provide an overview of the most representative early cognitive developmental EEG studies focusing […]
