Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over inferior frontal cortex impairs the suppression (but not expression) of action impulses during action conflict
Nerve stimulation cognitive function response inhibition functional imaging technology

In the recent literature, the effects of noninvasive neurostimulation on cognitive functioning appear to lack consistency and replicability. We propose that such effects may be concealed unless dedica...
Allophones, not phonemes in spoken-word recognition
Spoken-word recognition Phonemes Allophones Pre-lexical representations Selective adaptation
2018/3/5
What are the phonological representations that listeners use to map information about the segmental content of speech onto the mental lexicon during spoken-word recognition? Recent evidence from perce...
Neanderthal language revisited: Not only us
Ancient languages DE degrees levinson human evolution the genetic data
2018/3/5
Here we re-evaluate our 2013 paper on the antiquity of language (Dediu and Levinson, 2013) in the light of a surge of new information on human evolution in the last half million years. Although new ge...
Diversity not quantity in caregiver speech: Using computational modeling to isolate the effects of the quantity and the diversity of the input on vocabulary growth
Input quantity Lexical diversity Vocabulary acquisition
2017/8/30
Children who hear large amounts of diverse speech learn language more quickly than children who do not. However, high correlations between the amount and the diversity of the input in speech samples m...
Humans identify negative (but not positive) arousal in silver fox vocalizations: Implications for the adaptive value of interspecific eavesdropping
eavesdropping emotional arousal emotional valence
2017/8/28
The ability to identify emotional arousal in heterospecific vocalizations may facilitate behaviors that increase survival opportunities. Crucially, this ability may orient inter-species interactions, ...
Language is not isolated from its wider environment: Vocal tract influences on the evolution of speech and language
Biases Language change Linguistic diversity
2017/8/25
Language is not a purely cultural phenomenon somehow isolated from its wider environment, and we may only understand its origins and evolution by seriously considering its embedding in this environmen...
Cognitive load makes speech sound fast, but does not modulate acoustic context effects
Cognitive load Acoustic context Rate normalization
2017/8/25
In natural situations, speech perception often takes place during the concurrent execution of other cognitive tasks, such as listening while viewing a visual scene. The execution of a dual task typica...
Internal conceptual replications do not increase independent replication success
Replication Reproducibility QRP False positives Publication bias
2016/5/3
Recently, many psychological effects have been surprisingly difficult to reproduce. This article asks why, and investigates whether conceptually replicating an effect in the original publication is re...
Is prediction necessary to understand language?Probably not
Cognition language processing learning prediction predictive coding
2016/5/3
Some recent theoretical accounts in the cognitive sciences suggest that prediction is necessary to understand language. Here we evaluate this proposal. We consider arguments that prediction provides a...
Syntax is not unique to human language–the Japanese great tits “speak” in phrases too
Syntax human language Japanese great speak phrases
2016/3/21
Language is one of humans’ most important defining characteristics. It allows us to generate innumerable expressions from a finite number of vocal elements and meanings, and underlies the evolution of...
Age-related differences in multi-modal audience design: Young, but not old speakers, adapt speech and gestures to their addressee’s knowledge
co-speech gesture aging audience design common ground
2015/12/21
Speakers can adapt their speech and co-speech gestures for
addressees. Here, we investigate whether this ability is
modulated by age. Younger and older adults participated in a
comic narration t...
Even at 4 months, a labial is a good enough coronal, but not vice versa
Language acquisition Speech perceptio
2015/12/21
Numerous studies have revealed an asymmetry tied to the perception of coronal place of
articulation: participants accept a labial mispronunciation of a coronal target, but not vice
versa. Whether or...
Since Ross 1967, island constraints have been a major topic in syntactic research; however, the
status of different types of islands and their psychological reality to this day remain subjects of hot...

Failure to Agree is Not a Failure: ϕ-Agreement with Post-Verbal Subjects in Hebrew
agreement intervention Hebrew datives
2015/9/6
Based on the patterns of ϕ-agreement with post-verbal subjects in Hebrew, I argue
against the idea that failure to establish a ϕ-agreement relation between a ϕ-probe and
its putative ...
