In a study of the effects of normal and pathological aging on semantic-related brain activity, 29 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 19 controls subjects (10 young and 9 older controls) performed a version of the Pyramids and Palm Trees Test...

Involuntary interpretation of social cues is compromised in autism spectrum disorders (2009)
Journal Article
Jellema, T., Lorteije, J., van Rijn, S., van t' Wout, M., de Haan, E., van Engeland, H., & Kemner, C. (2009). Involuntary interpretation of social cues is compromised in autism spectrum disorders. Autism Research, 2(4), 192-204. https://doi.org/10.1002/aur.83

A new social distance judgment task was used to measure quantitatively the extent to which social cues are immediately and involuntary interpreted by typically developing (TD) individuals and by individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The t... Read More about Involuntary interpretation of social cues is compromised in autism spectrum disorders.

Mental toughness: managerial and age differences (2009)
Journal Article
Marchant, D. C., Polman, R. C. J., Clough, P. J., Jackson, J. G., Levy, A. R., & Nicholls, A. R. (2009). Mental toughness: managerial and age differences. Journal of Managerial Psychology, 24(5), 428-437. https://doi.org/10.1108/02683940910959753

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to investigate whether employees at various levels of managerial positions (e.g. senior, middle, and junior) exhibit different levels of mental toughness. In addition, the study seeks to explore possible effects... Read More about Mental toughness: managerial and age differences.

Deficits in implicit attention to social signals in schizophrenia and high risk groups: Behavioural evidence from a new illusion (2009)
Journal Article
van 't Wout, M., van Rijn, S., Jellema, T., Kahn, R. S., & Aleman, A. (2009). Deficits in implicit attention to social signals in schizophrenia and high risk groups: Behavioural evidence from a new illusion. PLoS ONE, 4(5), e5581. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0005581

Background An increasing body of evidence suggests that the apparent social impairments observed in schizophrenia may arise from deficits in social cognitive processing capacities. The ability to process basic social cues, such as gaze direction and...

Blocking of goal-location learning based on shape (2009)
Journal Article
Alexander, T., Wilson, S. P., & Wilson, P. N. (2009). Blocking of goal-location learning based on shape. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 35(3), 694-708. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0015124

Using desktop, computer-simulated virtual environments (VEs), the authors conducted 5 experiments to investigate blocking of learning about a goal location based on Shape B as a consequence of preliminary training to locate that goal using Shape A. T... Read More about Blocking of goal-location learning based on shape.

Prioritization of looming and receding objects: Equal slopes, different intercepts (2009)
Journal Article
Skarratt, P. A., Cole, G. G., & Gellatly, A. R. (2009). Prioritization of looming and receding objects: Equal slopes, different intercepts. Attention, Perception, and Psychophysics, 71(4), 964-970. https://doi.org/10.3758/app.71.4.964

Franconeri and Simons (2003) reported that simulated looming objects (marked by a size increase) captured attention, whereas simulated receding objects (marked by a size decrease) did not. This finding has been challenged with the demonstration that... Read More about Prioritization of looming and receding objects: Equal slopes, different intercepts.

Straw-men and selective citation are needed to argue that associative-link formation makes no contribution to human learning (2009)
Journal Article
Dwyer, D. M., Le Pelley, M. E., George, D. N., Haselgrove, M., & Honey, R. C. (2009). Straw-men and selective citation are needed to argue that associative-link formation makes no contribution to human learning. Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 32(2), 206. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0140525x09000946

Mitchell et al. contend that there is no need to posit a contribution based on the formation of associative links to human learning. In order to sustain this argument, they have ignored evidence which is difficult to explain with propositional accoun...

Independent effects of colour on object identification and memory (2009)
Journal Article
Lloyd-Jones, T. J., & Nakabayashi, K. (2009). Independent effects of colour on object identification and memory. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 62(2), 310-322. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470210801954827

We examined the effects of colour on object identification and memory using a study-test priming procedure with a coloured-object decision task at test (i.e., deciding whether an object is correctly coloured). Objects were selected to have a single a... Read More about Independent effects of colour on object identification and memory.

Theorising transient mood after ingestion (2009)
Journal Article
Hammersley, R., & Reid, M. (2009). Theorising transient mood after ingestion. Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, 33(3), 213-222. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neubiorev.2008.07.010

Ingesting foods or drugs can alter rated mood. Moods have been theorised as reinforcers that cause ingestion. This assumption may be incompatible with the current two-system models of affect, where 'moods' are less intense yet more protracted than em...

Stress appraisals, emotions, and coping among international adolescent golfers (2009)
Journal Article

The aims of this study were to (a) explore the emotions generated during or as a consequence of stress appraisals, after coping, and after the event outcome, (b) explore whether multiple emotions were generated from the initial stress appraisal throu...
