Investigating the encoding-retrieval match in recognition memory : effects of experimental design, specificity, and retention interval (2010)
Journal Article
Dewhurst, S. A., & Knott, L. M. (2010). Investigating the encoding-retrieval match in recognition memory : effects of experimental design, specificity, and retention interval. Memory & cognition, 38(8), 1101-1109. https://doi.org/10.3758/MC.38.8.1101

Five experiments investigated the encoding retrieval match in recognition memory by manipulating read and generate conditions at study and at test. Experiments 1A and 1B confirmed previous findings that reinstating encoding operations at test enhance...

Visual aftereffects for walking actions reveal underlying neural mechanisms for action recognition (2010)
Journal Article
Barraclough, N., & Jellema, T. (2011). Visual aftereffects for walking actions reveal underlying neural mechanisms for action recognition. Psychological science : a journal of the American Psychological Society / APS, 22(1), 87-94. https://doi.org/10.1177/0956797610391910

The results of this study illustrate a new high-level visual aftereffect: Observing actors walking forward, without horizontal translation, makes subsequent actors appear to walk backward, and the opposite effect is obtained after observing backward...

This article begins by examining the possible meanings of ‘sustainability’, and argues that most meanings are prescriptive rather than descriptive in nature: they tend, either overtly or covertly, to recommend the particular end-states that writers d...

Preferences surf on the currents of words: Implicit verb causality influences evaluative conditioning (2010)
Journal Article
Walther, E., Langer, T., Weil, R., & Komischke, M. (2011). Preferences surf on the currents of words: Implicit verb causality influences evaluative conditioning. European Journal of Social Psychology, 41(1), 17-22. https://doi.org/10.1002/ejsp.785

It is a psychological truism that thought shapes language. However, the idea that language constrains cognition is less well understood and has been debated in philosophy, linguistic, and psychology. The goal of the present research was to investigat... Read More about Preferences surf on the currents of words: Implicit verb causality influences evaluative conditioning.

The impact of novel labels on visual processing during infancy (2010)
Journal Article
Mather, E., Schafer, G., & Houston-Price, C. (2011). The impact of novel labels on visual processing during infancy. British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 29(4), 783-805. https://doi.org/10.1348/2044-835X.002008

The impact of novel labels on visual processing was investigated across two experiments with infants aged between 9 and 21 months. Infants viewed pairs of images across a series of preferential looking trials. On each trial, one image was novel, and...

Mutual exclusivity and phonological novelty constrain word learning at 16 months (2010)
Journal Article
Mather, E., & Plunkett, K. (2011). Mutual exclusivity and phonological novelty constrain word learning at 16 months. Journal of child language, 38(5), 933-950. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0305000910000401

Studies report that infants as young as 1 ; 3 to 1 ; 5 will seek out a novel object in response to hearing a novel label (e.g. Halberda, 2003; Markman, Wasow & Hansen, 2003). This behaviour is commonly known as the 'mutual exclusivity' response (Ma... Read More about Mutual exclusivity and phonological novelty constrain word learning at 16 months.

A complementary systems account of word learning in L1 and L2 (2010)
Journal Article
Lindsay, S., & Gaskell, M. G. (2010). A complementary systems account of word learning in L1 and L2. Language Learning, 60(SUPPL. 2), 45-63. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-9922.2010.00600.x

We review a body of behavioral and neuroimaging research relating to the acquisition and integration of novel words. An important outcome from this research is that different aspects of knowledge associated with learning a new word become established...

With or without you: Determinants of postsuppression behavior (2010)
Journal Article
Wyer, N. A., Perfect, T. J., Neilens, H., Mazzoni, G., & Roper, J. (2011). With or without you: Determinants of postsuppression behavior. Social Psychological and Personality Science, 2(3), 272-276. https://doi.org/10.1177/1948550610389081

The present research was designed to investigate the consequences of suppressing social stereotypes on behavior in intrapersonal and interpersonal contexts. In two experiments, the authors manipulated the behavioral context in which postsuppression e... Read More about With or without you: Determinants of postsuppression behavior.

Preserved monitoring and control processes in temporal lobe epilepsy. (2010)
Journal Article
Andrés, P., Mazzoni, G., & Howard, C. E. (2010). Preserved monitoring and control processes in temporal lobe epilepsy. Neuropsychology, 24(6), 775-786. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0020281

The aim of this study was to assess an aspect of metamemory never examined before in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE): the ability to upgrade the accuracy of one's memory predictions after study. Method: Four lists of different levels of di... Read More about Preserved monitoring and control processes in temporal lobe epilepsy..

The effect of causal chain length on counterfactual conditional reasoning (2010)
Journal Article
Beck, S. R., Riggs, K. J., & Gorniak, S. L. (2010). The effect of causal chain length on counterfactual conditional reasoning. British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 28(3), 505-521. https://doi.org/10.1348/026151009X450836

We investigated German and Nichols' finding that 3-year-olds could answer counterfactual conditional questions about short causal chains of events, but not long. In four experiments (N =192), we compared 3- and 4-year-olds' performance on short and l... Read More about The effect of causal chain length on counterfactual conditional reasoning.
