Dowens, Margaret Gillon; Vergara, Marta; Barber, Horacio A.; Carreiras, Manuel – Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2010
The goal of the present study was to investigate the electrophysiological correlates of second-language (L2) morphosyntactic processing in highly proficient late learners of an L2 with long exposure to the L2 environment. ERPs were collected from 22 English-Spanish late learners while they read sentences in which morphosyntactic features of the L2…

Carreiras, Manuel; Gillon-Dowens, Margaret; Vergara, Marta; Perea, Manuel – Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2009
To investigate the neural bases of consonant and vowel processing, event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded while participants read words and pseudowords in a lexical decision task. The stimuli were displayed in three different conditions: (i) simultaneous presentation of all letters (baseline condition); (ii) presentation of all letters,…
