Attention gates the processing of stimuli relatively early in visual cortex. Yet, existing data suggest that emotional activate brain regions automatically, largely immune from attentional control. To resolve this puzzle, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to first measure activation responded differentially faces with expressions (fearful and happy) compared neutral faces. We then measured modulation these responses by attention, using a competing task high load. Contrary...
Most people have strong left-brain lateralisation for language, with a minority showing right- or bilateral language representation. On some receptive tasks, however, appears to be reduced absent. This contrasting pattern raises the question of whether and how laterality may fractionate within individuals. Building on our prior work, we postulated (a) that there can dissociations in different components (b) these would more common left-handers. A subsidiary hypothesis was indices will...
Reading continues to be a challenging task for most deaf children. Bimodal bilingual education creates supportive environment that stimulates children’s learning through the use of sign language. However, it is still unclear how exposure language might contribute improving reading ability. Here, we investigate relative contribution several cognitive and linguistic variables development word text fluency in children bimodal programmes. The participants this study were 62 school-aged (8 10...
In this study, we explore native and non-native syntactic processing, paying special attention to the language distance factor. To end, compared how speakers of Basque highly proficient who are Spanish process certain core aspects syntax. Our results suggest that differences in versus processing strongly correlate with distance: native/non-native obtain if a parameter grammar diverges from grammar. Otherwise, will approximate as levels proficiency increase. We focus on three parameters: (i)...
Although there is consensus that the left hemisphere plays a critical role in language processing, some questions remain. Here we examine influence of overt versus covert speech production on lateralization, relationship between lateralization and behavioural measures performance strength across subcomponents language. The present study used functional transcranial Doppler sonography (fTCD) to investigate phonological semantic fluency during both word generation right-handed adults....
Abstract Face coverings have been key in reducing the spread of COVID-19. At same time, they hindered interpersonal communication, particularly for those who rely on speechreading to aid communication. The available research indicated that deaf/hard hearing (HoH) people experienced great difficulty communicating with wearing masks and negative effects wellbeing. Here we extended these findings by exploring which factors predict deaf/HoH people’s communication difficulties, loss information,...
Previous research has shown that, unlike misspelled common words, brand names are sensitive to visual letter similarity effects (e.g., amazom is often recognized as a legitimate name, but not amazot). This pattern poses problems for those models that assume word identification exclusively based on abstract codes. Here, we investigated the role of using another type presented in more homogenous format than words: city names. We found effect Barcetona was word, Barcesona) relatively short...
This paper explores the relationship between constitutional entrenchment of central bank independence and inflation performance. Empirical studies for developing countries have not found a independence, proxied by "de jure" established in law, inflation. We argue that constitution is likely to be better enforced than ordinary statutes owing its higher legal rank. Our empirical analysis finds sample Latin American Caribbean countries, those entrench
Conceptual knowledge is fundamental to human cognition. Yet, the extent which it influenced by language unclear. Studies of semantic processing show that similar neural patterns are evoked same concepts presented in different modalities (e.g., spoken words and pictures or text) [1-3]. This suggests conceptual representations "modality independent." However, an alternative possibility similarity reflects retrieval common representations. Indeed, hearing users, text co-dependent [4, 5],...
Resumen: En los últimos años se ha producido un aumento de la demanda turismo gastronómico (sobre todo enoturismo y oleoturismo) en España.Para atender a dicho crecimiento, cada vez son más las denominaciones origen protegidas que certifican rutas gastronómicas crean.Estas últimas han convertido medio para unir sinergias entre zonas rurales dedicadas agricultura con bajos niveles renta el turismo, cual busca tomar contacto alimentos regionales, generando rentas adicionales dichas...
Abstract It has been proposed that poor reading abilities in deaf readers might be related to weak connections between the orthographic and lexical-semantic levels of processing. Here we used event potentials (ERPs), known for their excellent time resolution, examine whether lexical feedback modulates early Twenty congenitally made decisions target words pseudowords. Each those stimuli could preceded by a briefly presented matched-case or mismatched-case identity prime (e.g., ALTAR-ALTAR vs....
This paper analyzes the lending behavior of foreign‐owned banks during recent global crisis. Using bank‐level panel data for 51 countries, explores role affiliate and parent financial characteristics, host location, as well impact geographic origin reach on foreign banks’ credit growth. Overall, analysis finds robust evidence that curtailed growth relative to other banks, independent region in which they operate. Banks from United States reduced loan less than banks. Neither nor regional...
This article presents an analysis of the relationship between sign structure and iconicity in American Sign Language. Historically, linguists have been pressured to downplay role form-meaning relationships (iconicity) signed languages. However, recent inquiries into traditional phonological parameters signs (handshape, location, movement) development metaphor, event telicity, c-selection invited a reanalysis language structure. We present distribution handshape, movement examine which these...
Behavioral studies have shown that the legibility of handwritten script hinders visual word recognition. Furthermore, when compared with printed words, lexical effects (e.g., word-frequency effect) are magnified for less intelligible (difficult) handwriting (Barnhart and Goldinger, 2010; Perea et al., 2016). This boost has been interpreted in terms greater influence top-down mechanisms during In present experiment, we registered participants' ERPs to uncover processing on early perceptual...
