Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience

Published in: Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, Volume 13, Issue 2, 192-202 Abstract “Aberrant rule- and reward-based processes underpin abnormalities of socio-emotional behaviour in major dementias.

Musical competence and phoneme perception in a foreign language

Psychonomic Bulletin & Review

Published in: Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, Volume 24, Issue 6, December 2017, 1929-1934 Abstract “We investigated whether musical competence was associated with the perception of foreign-language phonemes. The sample comprised adult native-speakers of English who varied in music training. The measures included tests of general cognitive abilities, melody and rhythm perception, and the perception of consonantal
