- The missing link between faces and names: evidence from Alzheimer's disease patients
Marco Calabria
Center of Brain and Cognition, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Spain
Brain Cogn 80:250-6. 2012

Mireia Hernandez
University of Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain
Atten Percept Psychophys 72:963-72. 2010

Albert Costa
Department of Psicologia Basica, Universitat de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain
J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn 29:1270-82. 2003
..These contrasting results show that the cause of the gender congruency effect is not at the level where lexical-grammatical information is selected but at the level of selection of freestanding morphemes...
