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 […]

Frequency Selectivity of Persistent Cortical Oscillatory Responses to Auditory Rhythmic Stimulation

Jacques Pesnot Lerousseau, Agnès Trébuchon, Benjamin Morillon, & Daniele Schön https://www.jneurosci.org/content/41/38/7991 Cortical oscillations have been proposed to play a functional role in speech and music perception, attentional selection, and working memory, via the mechanism of neural entrainment. One of the properties of neural entrainment that is often taken for granted is that its modulatory effect […]
