Krason A, Middleton E, Ambrogi M, Thothathiri M
J Speech Lang Hear Res . 2024 Oct; 67(11):4411-4430. PMID: 39378278
Purpose: This study investigated conflict adaptation in aphasia, specifically whether upregulating cognitive control improves sentence comprehension. Method: Four individuals with mild aphasia completed four eye tracking sessions with interleaved auditory...

Mirman D, Krason A, Thothathiri M, Middleton E
Cogsci . 2024 Aug; 46:2951-2956. PMID: 39131511
Speech production in aphasia is often described as "effortful", though the consequences of consistent, high degrees of cognitive effort have not been explored. Using recent work on mental effort as...

Thothathiri M, Basnakova J, Lewis A, Briand J
Cereb Cortex . 2024 Feb; 34(2). PMID: 38314589
Sentence comprehension is highly practiced and largely automatic, but this belies the complexity of the underlying processes. We used functional neuroimaging to investigate garden-path sentences that cause difficulty during comprehension,...

Thothathiri M, Levshina N
Cogn Linguist . 2023 Nov; 34(3-4):479-502. PMID: 38014391
While much earlier work has indicated that prior verb bias from lifelong language experience influences language processing, recent findings highlight the fact that verb biases induced during lab-based exposure sessions...

Thothathiri M, Kirkwood J, Patra A, Krason A, Middleton E
Cortex . 2023 Nov; 169:309-325. PMID: 37981441
Agrammatic or asyntactic comprehension is a common language impairment in aphasia. We considered three possible hypotheses about the underlying cause of this deficit, namely problems in syntactic processing, over-reliance on...

Sharer K, Thothathiri M
Neurobiol Lang (Camb) . 2023 May; 1(4):492-522. PMID: 37215586
Language users encounter different sentence structures from different people in different contexts. Although syntactic variability and adults' ability to adapt to it are both widely acknowledged, the relevant mechanisms and...

Patra A, Kirkwood J, Middleton E, Thothathiri M
R Soc Open Sci . 2023 Apr; 10(4):211969. PMID: 37090962
Prior research suggests that cognitive control can assist the comprehension of sentences that create conflict between interpretations, at least under some circumstances. However, the mixed pattern of results suggests that...

Thothathiri M
Front Psychol . 2021 Apr; 12:647076. PMID: 33841283
Whether sentences are formulated primarily using lexically based or non-lexically based information has been much debated. In this perspective article, I review evidence for rational flexibility in the sentence production...

Thothathiri M, Braiuca M
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn . 2020 Jan; 47(1):113-128. PMID: 31999158
Previous studies using artificial languages suggest that sentence production can be guided by verb-specific as well as verb-general statistics present in the language input. Here we investigated whether the statistical...

Thothathiri M
Brain Lang . 2018 Jun; 183:47-53. PMID: 29913355
I explored how individual cognitive differences combine with prior statistical experience to determine choice of sentence structure during speech. Participants were exposed to English language input with controlled statistical properties...
