Neurocognitive and neurolinguistics theories make explicit statements relating specialized
cognitive and linguistic processes to specific brain loci. These linking hypotheses are in …

Abstract The exploits of Martina Navratilova and Roger Federer represent the pinnacle of
motor learning. However, when considering the range and complexity of the processes that …

Like its predecessor, the revised Speech Learning Model (SLM-r) focuses on the learning of
L2 vowels and consonants (or “sounds,” for short) across the life-span. To define the context …

Cognitive Neuroscience of Language provides an up-to-date, wide-ranging, and
pedagogically practical survey of the most important developments in this exciting field. It …

Spoken language exists because of a remarkable neural process. Inside a speaker's brain,
an intended message gives rise to neural signals activating the muscles of the vocal tract …

Does “the motor system” play “a role” in speech perception? If so, where, how, and when?
We conducted a systematic review that addresses these questions using both qualitative …

There is accumulating evidence from behavioral, neurophysiological, and neuroimaging
studies that the acquisition of motor skills involves both perceptual and motor learning …

The present study uses probabilistic models of corpus data in a novel way, to measure and
compare the syntactic predictive capacities of speakers of different varieties of the same …

The idea that humans learn and maintain accurate speech by carefully monitoring auditory
feedback is widely held. But this view neglects the fact that auditory feedback is highly …

Motor learning changes the activity of cortical motor and subcortical areas of the brain, but
does learning affect sensory systems as well? We examined in humans the effects of motor …
