Karinne Sauval

Karinne Sauval is a Researcher at Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) affiliated with the Faculty of Psychological Sciences and Education. She is actively involved in the Language, Learning, and Cognitive Development (LCLD) lab under the CRCN research center.

Her research focuses on the mechanisms of visual word recognition during reading acquisition and in skilled reading. She investigates the implicit learning of orthographic regularities, examining how readers capture these patterns and how they impact visual word recognition.

• Combines behavioral (response time, accuracy) and neurophysiological (ERPs) measures
• Applies paradigms like priming, masked priming, and learning
• Studies bilingualism and interplay between orthographic and phonological representations

Her work intersects with broader themes of literacy, phonology, statistical learning, and cognitive development. Publications reflect a trajectory analyzing:

• 2022: Orthographic regularities in diverse contexts
• 2018: Phonemic features in lexical access
• 2017-2014: Phonological coding, priming effects, and bilingual reading
