Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract Parallel tracking of distant relations between speech elements, so‐called nonadjacent dependencies (NADs), is crucial in language development but computationally demanding and acquired only in late preschool years. As processing of single NADs is facilitated when dependent elements are perceptually similar, we investigated how phonetic ...

Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract Semantic fluency, the ability to retrieve words within a category, relies on lexical knowledge, semantic memory and executive control mechanisms. A richer, interconnected semantic memory and optimal executive control, as seen in creative individuals, enhance fluency through broad associative searches and quicker access to remote concepts ...

Language comprehension and the rhythm of perception
Mind &Language, EarlyView.It is widely agreed that language understanding has a distinctive phenomenology, as illustrated by phenomenal contrast cases. Yet it remains unclear how to account for the perceptual phenomenology of language experience. I advance a rhythmic account, which explains this phenomenology in terms of changes in the rhythm of sensory capacities in both ...

Multiword sequences do not predict speaking proficiency in dialogue: A pair‐level analysis
The Modern Language Journal, EarlyView.Abstract This study revisited the commonly held view that the use of multiword sequences (MWSs) is a reliable predictor of L2 speaking proficiency in monologue, by extending the investigation from monologic to dialogic speaking contexts. We accessed dialogic performance data from 127 test‐takers of the Test of English for Educational Purposes assessed ...

Softening the Border: A Capacities Approach to the Perception–Cognition Distinction
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Approaches to the perception–cognition distinction tend toward two extremes. Many embrace a hard border, treating perception and cognition as mutually exclusive, non‐overlapping categories. By contrast, eliminativism denies that any principled, theoretically useful distinction exists between perception and cognition.

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract As people age, there is a natural decline in cognitive functioning and brain structure. However, the relationship between brain function and cognition in older adults is neither straightforward nor uniform. Instead, it is complex, influenced by multiple factors, and can vary considerably from one person to another.
