- Neurodevelopmental correlates of implicit-explicit learning mechanisms in children with specific language impairmentPublication . Soares, Ana Paula; Gutiérrez-Domínguez, Francisco-Javier; Vasconcelos, Margarida; Oliveira, Helena M.; Tomé, David; Lousada, Marisa; Jiménez, LuisThis project has the grant POCI-01-0145-FEDER-028212, started in June of 2019 ending in May of 2022, with researchers from ESS | P. PORTO, University of Minho and University of Aveiro. Aims to analyze the neurocognitive correlates of implicit-explicit learning mechanisms in preschool specific-learning impairment (SLI) children and to track their developmental trajectories until they enter primary school. Studies aiming to explore the nature and dynamics of procedural memory-declarative memory functioning in SLI using brain techniques and following the same children on time are inexistent. This project aims to address these issues by combining an artificial grammar paradigm with ERPs in a longitudinal design, which will contribute not only to clarify the role of procedural memory deficits-declarative memory compensation on SLI, but also to the development of effective intervention programs for children who are at risk of dyslexia

- Unveiling alcohol bias and impaired inhibitory control in young binge drinkers: insights from the alcohol hayling taskPublication . Carbia, Carina; Antunes, Natália Almeida; Vasconcelos, Margarida; Caneda, Eduardo LópezCraving and alcohol-related bias play a central role in addiction development. Previous research suggests that individuals with alcohol misuse exhibit heightened alcohol bias and deficits in inhibitory control, contributing to increased craving and sustained consumption. However, this relationship remains poorly understood in young binge drinkers, particularly regarding a specific form of bias known as semantic alcohol bias (heightened automatic accessibility of alcohol-related concepts), which may influence craving and drinking behavior. The present study is aimed at addressing this gap. A total of 81 college students (41 Binge Drinkers and 40 Non/Low Drinkers) completed craving questionnaires and the Alcohol Hayling task, a sentence-completion paradigm designed to measure semantic alcohol bias and inhibitory control. Results revealed that young binge drinkers generated more alcohol-related words in drinkingcontext sentences, committed more errors (i.e., producing alcohol-related words when they should have generated unrelated words), and displayed slower response times when inhibiting alcohol-related responses. A positive correlation was observed between craving and the frequency of alcohol-related words. These findings suggest that young binge drinkers exhibit a semantic accessibility bias towards alcohol-related concepts and difficulties inhibiting alcohol-related content. This study highlights the role of alcohol-related semantic networks in craving states, providing new insights into how alcohol biases may contribute to binge drinking behaviors among youth.
