de Klerk, Maartje; de Bree, Elise; Kerkhoff, Annemarie; Wijnen, Frank – Language Learning and Development, 2019
Our aim was to investigate perceptual attunement (PA) in vowel perception of Dutch-learning infants (6-8-10-month-olds) using the hybrid visual fixation paradigm (Houston et al., 2007). Infants were habituated to one phoneme and subsequently tested on items in which a token of the habituated phoneme alternated with either another token of the same…

van den Boer, Madelon; de Jong, Peter F. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2018
Visual attention span (VAS) predicts reading performance over and above phonological skills. Given the growing number of studies that include VAS, it is surprising that indications of the stability of VAS performance and its relation with reading over time have not yet been reported. The current study addressed these important issues. Participants…

Qin, Rui; Maurits, Natasha; Maassen, Ben – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2016
In alphabetic languages, print consistently elicits enhanced, left-lateralized N170 responses in the event-related potential compared to control stimuli. In the current study, we adopted a cross-linguistic design to investigate N170 tuning to logographic Chinese and to "pinyin," an auxiliary phonetic system in Chinese. The results…

A total of 26 second-year kindergartners participated in this study. Participants were divided over two feedback…

Jansma, Bernadette M.; Schiller, Niels O. – Brain and Language, 2004
This study investigated the encoding of syllable boundary information during speech production in Dutch. Based on Levelt's model of phonological encoding, we hypothesized segments and syllable boundaries to be encoded in an incremental way. In a self-monitoring experiment, decisions about the syllable affiliation (first or second syllable) of a…
