Top-down modulation of ventral occipito-temporal responses during visual word recognition
2011
NeuroImage
Participants performed two different types of lexical decision tasks that focused on either visual or nonvisual properties of the word or word-like stimuli. ...
Such interactive processing at the neural level is in agreement with cognitive and computational models of reading but challenges some of the assumptions made by current neuro-anatomical models of reading ...

The Link Between a Set of Tangram-Based Tasks and Chinese and English Reading and Related Skills Among Chinese Kindergarteners
2019
AERA Open
We developed five games and tested them on a sample of 102 Chinese kindergarteners. The participants were aged 4 to 5 years and were learning English as a second language. ...
Further regression analysis confirmed that the tangram hand-copying game predicted unique variances for visual-orthographic skills and word identification abilities in Chinese and English. ...

Combining Non-Pathological Data of Different Language Varieties to Improve DNN-HMM Performance on Pathological Speech
2016
Interspeech 2016
In this paper, we investigate the impact of combining speech data from different varieties of the Dutch language for training deep neural network (DNN)-based acoustic models. ...
Research on automatic speech recognition (ASR) of pathological speech is particularly hindered by scarce in-domain data resources. ...

Interpreting experience enhances the use of lexical stress and syllabic structure to predict L2 word endings
2021
Applied Psycholinguistics
To determine whether the same findings extend to words with non-morphological endings, we investigate whether Spanish monolinguals and advanced learners of Spanish with and without interpreting experience ...
Participants completed an eye-tracking study where they listened to a sentence while seeing two words and selected the word they heard. ...
Five non-interpreter learners were removed from the initial sample of 31 non-learner participants to ensure L2 proficiency comparability with interpreter participants. ...

Neurophysiological indices of the effect of cognates on vowel perception in late Spanish-English bilinguals
2018
Journal of Phonetics
A special thanks goes to Yan Yu, who although we started together has a knowledge base far greater than I will ever attain! ...
Phonetic categories from the L2 will, at least initially, be mapped onto phonetic categories from the L1 (Flege, 1995) . ...
Vowels are often responsible for carrying a significant load of word meaning, and difficulty discriminating vowels at the word level may result in misunderstanding of the message and a high level of frustration ...
