Jayden J. Lee – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The functional neuroanatomy of language localization in dyslexia has primarily been studied in the context of reading. However, dyslexia is sometimes referred to as a "language-based learning disability," yet the functional signature of the core language comprehension network in dyslexia is far less understood. This thesis presents a…

Döring, Anna-Lisa; Abdel Rahman, Rasha; Zwitserlood, Pienie; Lorenz, Antje – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
The lexical representation of compound words in speech production is still under debate. While most studies with healthy adult speakers suggest that a single lemma representation is active during compound production, data from neuropsychological studies point toward multiple representations, with activation of the compound's constituent lemmas in…

O'Rourke, Emme; Coderre, Emily L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
While many individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience difficulties with language processing, non-linguistic semantic processing may be intact. We examined neural responses to an implicit semantic priming task by comparing N400 responses--an event-related potential related to semantic processing--in response to semantically related…

Elliott, Claire; Sutherland, Dean; Gerhard, Daniel; Theys, Catherine – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems are important to support communication for individuals with complex communication needs. A recent addition to AAC system options is the brain-computer interface (BCI). This study aimed to compare the clinical application of the P300 speller BCI with two more common AAC systems, the…

Bathelt, Joe; Koolschijn, P Cédric M. P.; Geurts, Hilde M. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Face recognition is a fundamental function that requires holistic processing. Differences in face processing have been consistently identified in autistic children, but it is unknown whether these differences persist across the adult lifespan. Using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging, we measured holistic face processing with a…

Wang, Jing-Yi; Weber, Frederik D.; Zinke, Katharina; Inostroza, Marion; Born, Jan – Child Development, 2018
Abilities to encode and remember events in their spatiotemporal context (episodic memory) rely on brain regions that mature late during childhood and are supported by sleep. We compared the temporal dynamics of episodic memory formation and the role of sleep in this process between 62 children (8-12 years) and 57 adults (18-37 years). Subjects…

Dutta, Manaswita; Murray, Laura L.; Miller, Wendy; Innis, Isaiah; Newman, Sharlene – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Cognition and language difficulties are frequently reported in both children and adults with epilepsy. The majority of the existing research has focused on pediatric epilepsy, documenting impairments in learning, academics, and social-emotional functioning. In comparison, language deficits in younger and older adults with epilepsy have…

Tiffin-Richards, Simon P.; Schroeder, Sascha – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Words are seldom read in isolation. Predicting or anticipating upcoming words in a text, based on the context in which they are read, is an important aspect of efficient language processing. In sentence reading, words with congruent preceding context have been shown to be processed faster than words read in neutral or incongruous contexts. The…

Key, Alexandra P.; D'Ambrose Slaboch, Kathryn – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Investigations into the nature of communication disorders in autistic individuals increasingly evaluate neural responses to speech stimuli. This integrative review aimed to consolidate the available data related to speech and language processing across levels of stimulus complexity (from single speech sounds to sentences) and to relate it…

Rungratsameetaweemana, Nuttida; Squire, Larry R. – Learning & Memory, 2018
The hippocampus has long been recognized as important for the formation of long-term memory. Recent work has suggested that the hippocampus might also be important for certain kinds of spatial operations, as in constructing scenes, shifting perspective, or perceiving the geometry of scenes and their boundaries. We explored this proposal using a…

Olstad, Anne Marte Haug; Fritz, Isabella; Baggio, Giosuè – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Understanding language requires the ability to compose the meanings of words into phrase and sentence meanings. Formal theories in semantics have framed the hypothesis that all instances of meaning composition, irrespective of the syntactic and semantic properties of the expressions involved, boil down to a unique formal operation, that is, the…

Sánchez-Vincitore, Laura V.; Avery, Trey; Froud, Karen – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2018
The present study addresses word recognition automaticity in Spanish-speaking adults who are neoliterate by assessing the event-related potential N170 for word stimuli. Participants engaged in two reading conditions that vary the degree of attention required for linguistic components of reading: (a) an implicit reading task, in which they detected…

Rollins, Leslie; Riggins, Tracy – Developmental Science, 2018
The ability to mentally re-experience past events improves significantly from childhood to young adulthood; however, the mechanisms underlying this ability remain poorly understood, partially because different tasks are used across the lifespan. This study was designed to address this gap by assessing the development of event-related potential…

Mesagno, Christopher; Garvey, Jacob; Tibbert, Stephanie J.; Gröpel, Peter – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2019
When athletes fail to perform at an expected level during an important moment, it is implied the athletes have experienced "choking" (sudden decline in performance) under pressure.". Researchers have reported that persistent left-hemispheric activation patterns occur when an athlete experiences considerable performance…

Cobb, Kensi M.; Stuart, Andrew – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2016
Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds to air- and bone-conducted CE-Chirps in neonates and adults. Method Thirty-two neonates with no physical or neurologic challenges and 20 adults with normal hearing participated. ABRs were acquired with a starting intensity of 30 dB normal hearing level…
