Developmental differences in L1 and L2 text comprehension: An ERP study Open
Text comprehension relies on high-level cognitive processes. These processes might be challenging for young readers, especially when comprehension takes place in a non-native language, an issue that remains unexplored. Twenty-four children…

Exploring the effect of language-switching practice over prospective memory in bilinguals Open
Prospective memory (PM) relies on switching processes to change from the ongoing activity to the future intention. Similarly, bilinguals in dual-language contexts are frequently required to switch between languages. In this study, we exper…

How do older adults correct memory errors? The effects of practice and metacognitive strategies Open
Older adults often exhibit a higher susceptibility to false memories compared to younger adults, partly due to age-related declines in executive functions. Mullet and Marsh (2016) demonstrated that false memory errors in younger adults, el…

How do older adults correct memory errors? The effects of practice and metacognitive strategies Open
Older adults often show increased susceptibility to false memories when compared to younger adults, in part because of the age-related decline in executive functions. In a study on younger adults, Mullet and Marsh (2016) used sentences wit…

Judgments of learning in bilinguals: Does studying in a L2 hinder learning monitoring? Open
Nowadays, use of a second language (L2) has taken a central role in daily activities. There are numerous contexts in which people have to process information, acquire new knowledge, or make decisions via a second language. For example, in …

Social network structure shapes the formation of true and false memories at collective level Open
Societal structures and theoretical models of memory organization share network-like features, suggesting potential mutual insights into how information spreads and shapes collective memories. Here, we used experimental manipulations of th…

Prospective memory in bilinguals: Recalling future intentions in first and second language contexts Open
Recalling future intentions (i.e., prospective memory, PM) plays an essential role in everyday life, but sometimes, if the person is involved in a demanding ongoing task, PM is unsuccessful. This is especially relevant for bilinguals who, …
View article: ERP and Behavioural Correlates of Prospective Memory in Bilinguals during L1 and L2 Processing
ERP and Behavioural Correlates of Prospective Memory in Bilinguals during L1 and L2 Processing Open
Language influences how we process information from multiple domains. Thus, working in first (L1) or second language (L2) can modulate bilinguals’ performance on basic activities, such as visual search, decision-making, or reading. However…

Electrophysiological correlates of dispositional mindfulness: A quantitative and complexity <span>EEG</span> study Open
While growing evidence supports that dispositional mindfulness relates to psychological health and cognitive enhancement, to date there have been only a few attempts to characterize its neural underpinnings. In the present study, we aimed …

Individual differences in semantic priming and inhibitory control predict performance in the Remote Associates Test (RAT) Open
Creative thinking is a complex cognitive ability that requires the combination and integration of information in the memory to produce original ideas. Previous creativity research has suggested that semantic memory, attentional focus or in…

Second language acquisition of grammatical rules: The effects of learning condition, rule difficulty, and executive function Open
Learning a new language is an important goal that many individuals find difficult to achieve, particularly during adulthood. Several factors have related this variability to different extrinsic (learning condition, difficulty of the materi…

Idiomaticity as a tool to explore automaticity and control in bilinguals and translators Open
We explored the impact of translation expertise and untrained bilingualism on the automaticity in retrieving translations of idiomatic units across languages.We predicted a differential access to idiomatic representations due to different …

Transfer effects from language processing to visual attention dynamics: The impact of orthographic transparency Open
The consistency between letters and sounds varies across languages. These differences have been proposed to be associated with different reading mechanisms (lexical vs. phonological), processing grain sizes (coarse vs. fine) and attentiona…

Cognitive and contextual factors modulating grammar learning at older ages Open
Second language learning has been shown more difficult for older than younger adults, however, the research trying to identify the sources of difficulty and possible modulating factors is scarce. Extrinsic (learning condition and complexit…
