TL;DR: Comparisons of structural brain scans from those who learnt to read as adults (late-literates) with those from a carefully matched set of illiterates demonstrate how the regions identified in late-literate interact during reading, relative to object naming, in early literates.

TL;DR: Investigating inhibitory skills in a large sample of 252 monolingual and bilingual children who were carefully matched on a large number of indices concluded that bilingual children do not exhibit any specific advantage in simple inhibitory tasks as compared tomonolinguals.

TL;DR: Event-related potentials (ERPs) effects lend support to the idea that reanalysis or repair processes after grammatical disagreement detection could involve more steps in the case of gender disagreement, as grammatical gender is a feature of the lexical representation in contrast to number, which is considered a morphological feature that combines with the stem of the word.

TL;DR: EsPal is a Web-accessible repository containing a comprehensive set of properties of Spanish words, based on an extensible set of data sources, beginning with a 300 million token written database and a 460 million token subtitle database.

TL;DR: Effects of orthographic neighborhood in visual word recognition in Spanish were examined in 5 paradigms: progressive demasking, standard lexical decision, Lexical decision with blocking of neighborhood density, naming, and semantic categorization, showing inhibitory effects of neighborhood frequency in the progressive-demasking task, and a robust facilitation effect in naming.
