DOI: 10.1007/s00426-020-01335-y
Abstract: Content variability was previously suggested to promote stronger learning effects in cognitive training whereas less variability incurred transfer costs (Sabah et al. Psychological Research, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00426-018-1006-7 , 2018 ). Here, we expanded these findings by additionally… read more here.

DOI: 10.1037/neu0000327
Abstract: Semantic richness is a multidimensional construct that can be defined as the amount of semantic information associated with a concept. Objective: To investigate neurophysiological correlates of semantic richness information associated with words and its interaction… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-15928-z
Abstract: Goal-directed behavior requires the representation of a task-set that defines the task-relevance of stimuli and guides stimulus-action mappings. Past experience provides one source of knowledge about likely task demands in the present, with learning enabling… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-42615-x
Abstract: Top-down control processes are essential for guiding attention and working memory towards task-relevant information. Recently, theta oscillations were suggested as critical for these cognitive processes. Infant studies testing a mixture of bottom-up and top-down processes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/10888438.2016.1276184
Abstract: ABSTRACT Reading is affected by both situational requirements and one’s cognitive skills. The current study investigated how individual differences interacted with task requirements to determine reading behavior and outcome. We recorded the eye movements of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/0023830920983368
Abstract: While listening to non-native speech, second language users filter the auditory input through their native language. We examined how bilinguals perceived second language (L2 English) sound sequences that conflicted with native-language (L1 Spanish) constraints across… read more here.

Diving into a pool or volcano? Examining the influence of sentence context and task demands on sentence reading in younger and older adults

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0279555
Abstract: Cognitive ageing is often associated with slower lexical processing, which might influence both language production and comprehension. Words are typically used in context, which can further influence word processing and potential age differences. However, it… read more here.
