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 […]
Associative Learning Accounts for Recursive-Structure Generation in Crows
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 […]
Simple Questions on Simple Associations: Regularity Extraction in Non-Human Primates
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) […]
Cortico-Cerebellar Monitoring of Speech Sequence Production
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 […]
Clinical Efficiency and Acceptability of EMDR and MOSAIC Therapy for PTSD
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 […]
Editorial: Neural Bases of Reading Acquisition and Reading Disability
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 […]
Hearing as Adaptive Cascaded Envelope Interpolation
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 […]
How Do Adults with Dyslexia Recognize Spoken Words? Evidence from Behavioral and EEG Data
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 […]
Dimensionality and ramping: Signatures of sentence integration in the dynamics of brains and deep language models
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 […]
Using Video Calls to Study Children’s Conversational Development: The Case of Backchannel Signaling
Kübra Bodur, Mitja Nikolaus, Laurent Prévot, and Abdellah Fourtassi. 2023. Frontiers in Computer Science 5: 1088752 — @HAL Understanding children’s conversational skills is crucial for understanding their social, cognitive, and linguistic development, with important applications in health and education. To develop theories based on quantitative studies of conversational development, we need (i) data recorded in naturalistic […]
