Ventura-Campos, Noelia; Ferrando Esteve, Lara; Miró-Padilla, Anna; Ávila, César – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2022
An important line of research related to the resolution of word problems is the study of the cognitive processes involved when subjects translate problems into the language of algebra. One of the most common errors in problem-solving is the reversal error (RE), which occurs when students reverse the relationship between two variables when…

Gerwin, Katelyn L.; Brosseau-Lapré, Françoise; Weber, Christine – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: A growing body of research suggests that a deficit in speech perception abilities contributes to the development of speech sound disorder (SSD). However, little work has been done to characterize the neurophysiological processes indexing speech perception deficits in this population. The primary aim of this study was to compare the neural…

Kim, So Hyun; Buzzell, George; Faja, Susan; Choi, Yeo Bi; Thomas, Hannah R; Brito, Natalie Hiromi; Shuffrey, Lauren C.; Fifer, William P.; Morrison, Frederick D.; Lord, Catherine; Fox, Nathan – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Although electrophysiological (electroencephalography) measures of executive functions (e.g. error monitoring) have been used to predict academic achievement in typically developing children, work investigating a link between error monitoring and academic skills in children with autism spectrum disorder is limited. In this study, we employed…

Maciejewski, Greg; Klepousniotou, Ekaterini – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Semantic ambiguity has been shown to slow comprehension, although it is unclear whether this ambiguity disadvantage is attributable to competition in semantic activation or difficulties in response selection. We tested the two accounts by examining semantic relatedness decisions to homonyms, or words with multiple unrelated meanings (e.g.,…

Fernandez, Thalia; Harmony, Thalia; Mendoza, Omar; Lopez-Alanis, Paula; Marroquin, Jose Luis; Otero, Gloria; Ricardo-Garcell, Josefina – Brain and Cognition, 2012
Learning disabilities (LD) are one of the most frequent problems for elementary school-aged children. In this paper, event-related EEG oscillations to semantically related and unrelated pairs of words were studied in a group of 18 children with LD not otherwise specified (LD-NOS) and in 16 children with normal academic achievement. We propose that…

Vocat, Roland; Pourtois, Gilles; Vuilleumier, Patrik – Neuropsychologia, 2008
The detection of errors is known to be associated with two successive neurophysiological components in EEG, with an early time-course following motor execution: the error-related negativity (ERN/Ne) and late positivity (Pe). The exact cognitive and physiological processes contributing to these two EEG components, as well as their functional…
