Polina Timofeeva, Ileana Quiñones, Shuang Geng, Angela de Bruin, Manuel Carreiras , et al. · 2023

Bilinguals with a high proficiency in their first (L1) and second language (L2) often show comparable reaction times when switching from their L1 to L2 and vice-versa (“symmetrical switch costs”). However, the neurophysiological signatures…

Increased top-down semantic processing in natural speech linked to better reading in dyslexia Open

Anastasia Klimovich‐Gray, Giovanni M. Di Liberto, Lucía Amoruso, Ander Barrena, Eneko Agirre , et al. · 2023

Early research proposed that individuals with developmental dyslexia use contextual information to facilitate lexical access and compensate for phonological deficits. Yet at present there is no corroborating neuro-cognitive evidence. We ex…

“Left and right prefrontal routes to action comprehension” Open

Lucía Amoruso, Alessandra Finisguerra, Cosimo Urgesi · 2023
