Contextual constraints on lexico-semantic processing in aging: Evidence from single-word event-related brain potentials [PDF]
The current study reports the effects of accumulating contextual constraints on neural indices of lexico-semantic processing (i.e., effects of word frequency and orthographic neighborhood) as a function of normal aging. Event-related brain potentials were measured from a sample of older adults as they read sentences that were semantically congruent ...

We investigated how aging modulates lexico-semantic processes in the visual (seeing written items), auditory (hearing spoken items) and audiovisual (seeing written items while hearing congruent spoken items) modalities. Participants were young and older adults who performed a delayed lexical decision task (LDT) presented in blocks of visual, auditory ...

Leveraging relatedness-based measures in people with language disorders: A scoping review. [PDF]
Abstract Understanding lexico‐semantic processing is crucial for dissecting the complexities of language and its disorders. Relatedness‐based measures, or those which investigate the degree of relatedness in meaning between either task items or items produced by participants, offer the opportunity to harness novel computational and analytical ...

Evidence Against Syntactic Encapsulation in Large Language Models. [PDF]
Abstract Transformer‐based large language models (LLMs) have recently demonstrated exceptional performance in a variety of linguistic tasks. LLMs primarily combine information across words in a sentence using the attention mechanism, implemented by “attention heads:” these components assign numerical weights linking different words in the input to one ...

The contribution of the amount of linguistic exposure to bilingual language development: Longitudinal evidence from preschool years. [PDF]
Abstract This study examined the influence of linguistic input on the development of productive and receptive skills across three fundamental language domains: lexico‐semantics, syntax, and phonology. Seventy‐one (35 female) Basque‐Spanish bilingual children were assessed at three time points (Fall 2018, Summer 2019, Winter 2021), between 4 and 6 years

Functional Connectivity Fingerprints of Emerging Reading Skill in the First Months of Schooling. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The transition from pre‐reading to early word reading skill in early childhood is a time of profound developmental change. To understand changes in brain networks associated with reading development, this study examined individual differences in functional connectivity for reading at the start of formal literacy instruction.
