2021 A new look at the question of the bilingual advantage: Dual mechanisms of cognitive control Bi-/Multilingualism and the Declining Brain, Pliatsikas, Christos, Ana Inés Ansaldo and Toms Voits (eds.), pp. 520–550 | Article
Bilingualism has been associated with age-related cognitive advantage. It is important to study cognitive control mechanisms to better understand this phenomenon. We sought to examine proactive and reactive control, as measured by fast and slow responses, respectively. The neural underpinnings… read more
2021 Bilingualism and the declining brain Bi-/Multilingualism and the Declining Brain, Pliatsikas, Christos, Ana Inés Ansaldo and Toms Voits (eds.), pp. 453–458 | Introduction
2017 The bilingual mental lexicon: A dynamic knowledge system Bilingualism: A framework for understanding the mental lexicon, Libben, Maya, Mira Goral and Gary Libben (eds.), pp. 73–102 | Chapter
Several theoretical accounts have been developed to describe the nature of the bilingual mental lexicon. In the last decades, functional magnetic resonance studies have provided some insight into the neural basis of lexical processing in healthy bilinguals and in bilinguals with aphasia. This… read more
2013 Recovery from anomia following Semantic Feature Analysis: Therapy-induced neuroplasticity relies upon a circuit involving motor and language processing areas Neural Correlates of Lexical Processing, pp. 195–215 | Article
Our previous work (Marcotte et al., 2012) reported neurofunctional changes associated with recovery from anomia following Semantic Feature Analysis (SFA) in a group of participants with moderate to severe chronic anomia, providing evidence of therapy-induced neuroplasticity in chronic aphasia. The… read more
