Comesaña, Montserrat; Ferré, Pilar; Romero, Joaquín; Guasch, Marc; Soares, Ana P.; García-Chico, Teófilo – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Recent research has shown that cognate word processing is modulated by variables such as degree of orthographic and phonological overlap of cognate words and task requirements in such a way that the typical preferential processing observed in the literature for cognate words relative to non-cognate words can be annulled or even reversed (Comesaña…

Cano, Agnes; Hernandez, Mireia; Ivanova, Iva; Juncadella, Montserrat; Gascon-Bayarri, Jordi; Rene, Ramon; Costa, Albert – Brain and Language, 2010
We report the naming performance of a Spanish patient (AQF) suffering from Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA). AQF's performance revealed a grammatical category-specific deficit, with poorer performance in verb than in noun naming. Furthermore, this dissociation was only present in written naming. Importantly, the patient's dissociation between…

Alario, F.-Xavier; Ayora, Pauline; Costa, Albert; Melinger, Alissa – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2008
Closed-class word selection was investigated by focusing on determiner production. Native speakers from three different languages named pictures of objects using determiner plus noun phrases (e.g., in French "la table" (the [subscript feminine] table), while ignoring distractor determiners printed on the pictures (e.g., "le"…
