Acoustic-level and language-specific processing of native and non-native phonological sequence onsets in the low gamma and theta-frequency bands
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Scientific Reports"
DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-03611-2
Abstract: Acoustic structures associated with native-language phonological sequences are enhanced within auditory pathways for perception, although the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. To elucidate processes that facilitate perception, time–frequency (T–F) analyses of EEGs obtained from… read more here.

Cross-linguistic comparison of color word learning in German and Japanese children shows universal and language-specific processes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Scientific Reports"
DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-23286-3
Abstract: This study examines how German- and Japanese-speaking children acquire the meanings of color words, focusing on two theoretically distinct processes: centroid mapping and boundary delineation. While previous cross-linguistic studies have typically addressed these aspects in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/cdev.13880
Abstract: This study investigated the influence of first language (L1) phonology on second language (L2) early reading skills in Sylheti-English bilinguals (N = 58; 48% girls; British Bangladeshi) and their monolingual-English peers (N = 43; 45% girls; 96% White British,… read more here.

When Gestures Do or Do Not Follow Language-Specific Patterns of Motion Expression in Speech: Evidence from Chinese, English and Turkish
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Cognitive science"
DOI: 10.1111/cogs.13261
Abstract: Speakers of different languages (e.g., English vs. Turkish) show a binary split in how they package and order components of a motion event in speech and co-speech gesture but not in silent gesture. In this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3002968
Abstract: Studies of perception have long shown that the brain adds information to its sensory analysis of the physical environment. A touchstone example for humans is language use: to comprehend a physical signal like speech, the… read more here.

The Phonological Mapping Negativity (PMN) as a language-specific component: Exploring responses to linguistic vs musical mismatch
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "PLOS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0315537
Abstract: The Phonological Mismatch Negativity (PMN) is an ERP component said to index the processing of phonological information, and is known to increase in amplitude when phonological expectations are violated. For example, in a context that… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2021.515237
Abstract: Learning to move from auditory signals to phonemic categories is a crucial component of first, second, and multilingual language acquisition. In L1 and simultaneous multilingual acquisition, learners build up phonological knowledge to structure their perception… read more here.

Frequency of use and sonority sequencing in first- and second-language consonant cluster perception: facilitation is language-specific
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Frontiers in Psychology"
DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2025.1483046
Abstract: Introduction Expectations derived from knowledge about the likelihood of different phoneme sequences are an effective cognitive mechanism to make the listening process more efficient. In addition to language-specific distributions, universal principles of well-formedness may play… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/sym17081349
Abstract: Olfactory information, crucial for human perception, is often underrepresented compared to visual and textual data. This work explores methods for understanding smell descriptions within a multimodal context, where scent information is conveyed indirectly through text… read more here.
