Investigating the “bilingual edge”
We revisit Ellen Bialystok's seminal chapter, "Selective Attention in Cognitive Processing: The Bilingual Edge", exploring its impact on over three decades of research. We explore how theoretical and methodological advances have refined our understanding of the cognitive effects of bilingualism including shifts in how bilingualism is operationalized and assessed, the application of neuroimaging techniques, and the adoption of more robust statisti…
Bridging the Gap in Brazilian Literacy
A significant portion of Brazilian students fail to meet basic reading standards. The 2017 National Common Curricular Base (NCCB) marked a pivotal effort by the government to prioritize recognizing phonics in early reading instruction. However, the NCCB lacked clear directives for implementation, resulting in limited adoption in classrooms where teachers were accustomed to constructivist approaches to literacy. To address this shortcoming, we ada…
Evidence of non-selective lexical access to second and third language in unbalanced multilinguals
Bilinguals and multilinguals commonly encounter words in their multiple languages which share some linguistic aspects. Among those are interlingual homographs, or words that have the exact same orthography in two different languages. The current study examined, through a semantic judgment task in English with ERP recording, how multilinguals (speakers of Brazilian Portuguese, English and German) accessed the meanings of interlingual homographs th…
Effect of Interlingual Homographs and Word Frequency on Bilingual Lexical Access
In two experiments, a language decision task, and a multiple-choice English-Portuguese translation task, we examined the effect of interlingual homographs and word frequency on lexical access of Brazilian-Portuguese - English bilinguals. Language choice, accuracy, and response times were registered by the PsyToolkit software, and linear mixed-effects models were used in the analysis of the data. The results of this study align with the non-select…
Elaboração de uma tarefa para avaliar a coativação semântica em multilíngues Português-Inglês-Alemão
Homógrafos interlinguísticos são palavras que possuem ortografia idêntica, mas significados distintos entre duas ou mais línguas. Estes estímulos são frequentemente utilizados para avaliar o processamento léxico-semântico em bilíngues e multilíngues. Entretanto, um desafio das pesquisas sobre este tema consiste na preparação das listas de estímulos, havendo carência de materiais disponíveis para avaliar trilíngues com combinações de línguas espec…
Functionality of the N400 component and its application in studies of figurative language processing
Electrophysiological studies have increased in the field of Neuroscience of Language as they allow for detailed analyses of the temporal course of language processing. In figurative language research, the most employed technique is Event Related Potentials (ERPs). The N400 is the most studied ERP component and is usually described as a marker of difficulty or effort in semantic processing. However, many controversial results about N400 have been …
Acesso Lexical na Leitura
Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar o reconhecimento visual da palavra e o acesso lexical na leitura, descrevendo as etapas desse processo e integrando o conhecimento proveniente de estudos da Psicologia Cognitiva (modelos que explicam o processamento de leitura de palavras) e da Psicolinguística (que avaliam as variáveis linguísticas que afetam o processamento lexical), focalizando os achados obtidos por meio da técnica de rastreamento ocul…
Línguas em conflito
O fenômeno do bilinguismo é a premissa essencial da tradução. Este trabalho apresenta modelos cognitivos contemporâneos que explicam o acesso lexical de bilíngues e multilíngues para o reconhecimento de palavras escritas, a partir de experimentos com homógrafos interlinguais. São abordados os trabalhos sobre conflito entre duas ou mais línguas,e como seus achados convergem para a hipótese de acesso não-seletivo ao léxico, o que elucida o impacto …
Cognitive predictors of limited health literacy in adults with heterogeneous socioeconomic backgrounds
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between health literacy and specific cognitive abilities in hospital users. A neuropsychological battery was administered and the Short Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults was used to classify individuals as having adequate or limited functional health literacy. Of the 322 participants, 102 (31.7%) presented limited health literacy. Even after adjusting for demographics, years of …
Detecting limited health literacy in Brazil
Screening questions have been proposed as practical tools for detecting limited functional health literacy, but have achieved only moderate accuracy in previous studies. We hypothesized that a combination of screening questions and demographic characteristics could better predict a patient's functional health literacy. Three hundred and twenty-two hospital users from São Paulo, Brazil, were interviewed for demographic information and answered que…
Performance of a Brazilian population on the test of functional health literacy in adults
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the scoring obtained by an instrument, which evaluates the ability to read and understand items in the health care setting, according to education and age. METHODS: The short version of the Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults was administered to 312 healthy participants of different ages and years of schooling. The study was conducted between 2006 and 2007, in the city of São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil. The test inc…
Linguagem e cognição na doença de Alzheimer
O quadro clínico da doença de Alzheimer define-se por alterações cognitivas. Entre elas, a linguagem tem sido objeto freqüente de estudos, e embora exista consenso sobre a prevalência de alterações no âmbito semântico e a evolução dos sintomas lingüísticos, ainda não foi possível esclarecer a natureza de determinadas alterações. Estudos recentes têm acrescentado dados ao conhecimento clássico sobre as perdas específicas da linguagem e de outros a…
