  • Bilinguals use language-control brain areas more than monolinguals to perform non-linguistic switching tasks
    Rodríguez Pujadas, Aina; Sanjuán, Ana; Ventura Campos, Noelia; Román, Patricia; Martin, Clara D.; Barceló-Arroyo, Francisco; Costa, Albert, 1970-; Ávila, César (Public Library of Science, 2013)
    We tested the hypothesis that early bilinguals use language-control brain areas more than monolinguals when performing/nnon-linguistic executive control tasks. We do so by exploring the brain activity of early bilinguals ...
  • Breaking down the bilingual cost in speech production
    Sadat Schaffai, Jasmin, 1982-; Martin, Clara D.; Magnuson, James S.; Alario, F.-Xavier (François -Xavier); Costa, Albert, 1970- (Wiley, 2016)
    Bilinguals have been shown to perform worse than monolinguals in a variety of verbal tasks. This study investigated this bilingual verbal cost in a large‐scale picture‐naming study conducted in Spanish. We explored how ...
  • Can faces prime a language?
    Woumans, Evy; Martin, Clara D.; Vanden Bulcke, Charlotte; Van Assche, Eva; Costa, Albert, 1970-; Hartsuiker, Robert J.; Duyck, Wouter (SAGE Publications, 2015)
    Bilinguals have two languages that are activated in parallel. During speech production, one of these languages must be selected on the basis of some cue. The present study investigated whether the face of an interlocutor ...
  • Does the speaker matter? Online processing of semantic and pragmatic information in L2 speech comprehension
    Foucart, Alice; García, Xavier, 1967-; Ayguasanosa, Meritxell; Thierry, Guillaume; Martin, Clara D.; Costa, Albert, 1970- (Elsevier, 2015)
    The present study investigated how pragmatic information is integrated during L2 sentence comprehension. We put forward that the differences often observed between L1 and L2 sentence processing may reflect differences on ...
  • Foreign-accented speech modulates linguistic anticipatory processes
    Romero Rivas, Carlos, 1986-; Martin, Clara D.; Costa, Albert, 1970- (Elsevier, 2016)
    Listeners are able to anticipate upcoming words during sentence comprehension, and, as a result, they also pre-activate semantically related words. In the present study, we aim at exploring whether these anticipatory ...
  • From literal meaning to veracity in two hundred milliseconds
    Martin, Clara D.; García, Xavier, 1967-; Breton, Audrey; Thierry, Guillaume; Costa, Albert, 1970- (Frontiers Media, 2014)
    Do the integration of semantic information and that of world knowledge occur simultaneously or in sequence during sentence processing? To address this question, we investigated event-related brain potentials elicited by ...
  • Holiday or vacation? The processing of variation in vocabulary across dialects
    Martin, Clara D.; García, Xavier, 1967-; Potter, Douglas; Melinger, Alissa; Costa, Albert, 1970- (Taylor & Francis (Routledge), 2016)
    Native speakers with different linguistic backgrounds differ in their usage of language, and particularly in their vocabulary. For instance, British natives would use the word "holiday" when American natives would prefer ...
  • Integration of moral values during L2 sentence processing
    Foucart, Alice; Moreno Montes, Eva María; Martin, Clara D.; Costa, Albert, 1970- (Elsevier, 2015)
    This study reports an event-related potential (ERP) experiment examining whether valuation (i.e., one's own values) is integrated incrementally and whether it affects L2 speakers' online interpretation of the sentence. We ...
  • Processing changes when listening to foreign-accented speech
    Romero Rivas, Carlos, 1986-; Martin, Clara D.; Costa, Albert, 1970- (Frontiers Media, 2015)
    This study investigates the mechanisms responsible for fast changes in processing foreign-accented speech. Event Related brain Potentials (ERPs) were obtained while native speakers of Spanish listened to native and ...
  • Reconciling phonological neighborhood effects in speech production through single trial analysis
    Sadat Schaffai, Jasmin, 1982-; Martin, Clara D.; Costa, Albert, 1970-; Alario, F.-Xavier (François -Xavier) (Elsevier, 2014)
    A crucial step for understanding how lexical knowledge is represented is to describe the relative similarity of lexical items, and how it influences language processing. Previous studies of the effects of form similarity ...
  • The impact of early bilingualism on controlling a language learned late: an ERP study
    Martin, Clara D.; Strijkers, Kristof; Santesteban, Mikel; Escera, Carles; Hartsuiker, Robert J.; Costa, Albert, 1970- (Frontiers Media, 2013)
    This study asks whether early bilingual speakers who have already developed a language control mechanism to handle two languages control a dominant and a late acquired language in the same way as late bilingual speakers. ...
  • When the tail counts: the advantage of bilingualism through the ex-gaussian distribution analysis
    Calabria, Marco; Hernández Pardo, Mireia; Martin, Clara D.; Costa, Albert, 1970- (Frontiers Media, 2011)
    Several studies have documented the advantage of bilingualism with respect to the development of the executive control (EC) system. Two effects of bilingualism have been described in conflict resolution tasks: (a) bilinguals ...
  • World knowledge and novel information integration during L2 speech comprehension
    Romero Rivas, Carlos, 1986-; Corey, Joanna Darrow, 1986-; García, Xavier, 1967-; Thierry, Guillaume; Martin, Clara D.; Costa, Albert, 1970- (Cambridge University Press, 2017)
    In this study we explore whether world knowledge (WK) processing differs between individuals listening to their native (L1) or their non-native (L2) language. We recorded event-related brain potentials in L1 and L2 speakers ...
  • World knowledge integration during second language comprehension
    Martin, Clara D.; García, Xavier, 1967-; Breton, Audrey; Thierry, Guillaume; Costa, Albert, 1970- (Taylor & Francis (Routledge), 2016)
    In order to study the difficulties experienced during sentence comprehension in a foreign language (L2), we investigated semantic and world knowledge information retrieval in L2 comprehenders. Event-related potentials (ERP) ...
