Age of Acquisition Modulates Alpha Power During Bilingual Speech Comprehension in Noise

Author(s): Grant AM; Kousaie S; Coulter K; Gilbert AC; Baum SR; Gracco V; Titone D; Klein D; Phillips NA;

Research on bilingualism has grown exponentially in recent years. However, the comprehension of speech in noise, given the ubiquity of both bilingualism and noisy environments, has seen only limited focus. Electroencephalogram (EEG) studies in monolinguals show an increase in alpha power when lis ...

Bilingual language experience and the neural underpinnings of working memory

Author(s): Kousaie S; Chen JK; Baum SR; Phillips NA; Titone D; Klein D;

A longstanding question in cognitive neuroscience and in the bilingualism literature is how early language experience influences brain development and cognitive outcomes, and whether these effects are global or specific to language-related processes. The current investigation examined the effect of the timing of language learning on the performance and ne ...

Spoken Word Segmentation in First and Second Language: When ERP and Behavioral Measures Diverge

Author(s): Gilbert AC; Lee JG; Coulter K; Wolpert MA; Kousaie S; Gracco VL; Klein D; Titone D; Phillips NA; Baum SR;

Previous studies of word segmentation in a second language have yielded equivocal results. This is not surprising given the differences in the bilingual experience and proficiency of the participants and the varied experimental designs that have been used. The present study tried to account for a ...

Language learning experience and mastering the challenges of perceiving speech in noise

Author(s): Kousaie S; Baum S; Phillips NA; Gracco V; Titone D; Chen JK; Chai XJ; Klein D;

Given the ubiquity of noisy environments and increasing globalization, the necessity to perceive speech in noise in a non-native language is common and necessary for successful communication. In the current investigation, bilingual individuals who learned their non-native language at different ages underwent magnetic resonance imaging while listening to s ...
