Sachs, Alyssa Nicole Yuriko; language impairments – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Background: The most common cause of aphasia is a left middle cerebral artery stroke affecting the left perisylvian region of the brain. The perisylvian region is critical for supporting phonological processing, and damage to this region results in difficulty with retrieving and manipulating speech sounds. The impact of weakened phonology has been…

Ishkhanyan, Byurakn; Boye, Kasper; Mogensen, Jesper – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2019
The interaction between working memory and language processing is widely discussed in cognitive research. However, those studies often explore the relationship between language comprehension and working memory (WM). The role of WM is rarely considered in language production, despite some evidence suggesting a relationship between the two cognitive…

Pasquinelli, Rennie; Tessier, Anne Michelle; Karas, Zachary; Hu, Xiaosu; Kovelman, Ioulia – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: The fine-tuning of linguistic prosody in later childhood is poorly understood, and its neurological processing is even less well studied. In particular, it is unknown if grammatical processing of prosody is left- or rightlateralized in childhood versus adulthood and how phonological working memory might modulate such lateralization.…

Reiterer, Susanne M., Ed. – English Language Education, 2018
This book presents original, empirical data from quantitative and qualitative research studies in the field of language learning aptitude, ability, and individual differences. It does so from the perspectives of Second Language Acquisition, psychology, neuroscience and sociolinguistics. All studies included in the book use a similar and uniform…

Jackendoff, Ray – Language, 2011
In addition to providing an account of the empirical facts of language, a theory that aspires to account for language as a biologically based human faculty should seek a graceful integration of linguistic phenomena with what is known about other human cognitive capacities and about the character of brain computation. The present discussion note…

De Diego-Balaguer, Ruth; Rodriguez-Fornells, Antoni – Language Learning, 2010
Studies about bilingualism and second language acquisition (SLA) have a long tradition within linguistic and psycholinguistic research. The contributions from psycholinguistic research are crucial to the improvement of neurolinguistic models. This importance stems from the fact that psycholinguistic research is posing more specific questions than…

Rohrer, Jonathan D.; Crutch, Sebastian J.; Warrington, Elizabeth K.; Warren, Jason D. – Neuropsychologia, 2010
The neuropsychological features of the primary progressive aphasia (PPA) syndromes continue to be defined. Here we describe a detailed neuropsychological case study of a patient with a mutation in the progranulin ("GRN") gene who presented with progressive word-finding difficulty. Key neuropsychological features in this case included gravely…

Rodriguez-Fornells, A.; Balaguer, R. De Deigo; Munte, T. F. – Language Learning, 2006
Little is known in cognitive neuroscience about the brain mechanisms and brain representations involved in bilingual language processing. On the basis of previous studies on switching and bilingualism, it has been proposed that executive functions are engaged in the control and regulation of the languages in use. Here, we review the existing…
