Journal ArticleDOI

Cross-modal plasticity: where and how?

TL;DR: This work has shown that plastic changes across brain systems and related behaviours vary as a function of the timing and the nature of changes in experience, and this specificity must be understood in the context of differences in the maturation rates and timing of the associated critical periods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Syntactically based sentence processing classes: Evidence from event-related brain potentials

TL;DR: The distinct timing and distribution of these effects provide biological support for theories that distinguish between these types of grammatical rules and constraints and more generally for the proposal that semantic and grammatical processes are distinct subsystems within the language faculty.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maturational constraints on functional specializations for language processing: Erp and behavioral evidence in bilingual speakers

TL;DR: The findings are consistent with the view that maturational changes significantly constrain the development of the neural systems that are relevant for language and, further, that subsystems specialized for processing different aspects of language display different sensitive periods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Auditory and Visual Semantic Priming in Lexical Decision: A Comparison Using Event-related Brain Potentials

TL;DR: The authors compared and contrasted semantic priming in the visual and auditory modalities using event-related brain potentials (ERPs) and behavioural measures (errors and reaction time) and found that the ERP priming effect began earlier, was larger in size, and lasted longer in the auditory modality than in visual modality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved auditory spatial tuning in blind humans

TL;DR: Comparisons of behavioural and electrophysiological indices of spatial tuning within central and peripheral auditory space in congenitally blind and normally sighted but blindfolded adults test the hypothesis that the effects of visual deprivation might be more pronounced for processing peripheral sounds.
