Improving emotional prosody detection in the attending ear by cathodal tDCS suppression of the competing channel (2011)
Journal Article
Alexander, T., Avirame, K., & Lavidor, M. (2012). Improving emotional prosody detection in the attending ear by cathodal tDCS suppression of the competing channel. Neuroscience letters, 508(1), 52-55. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neulet.2011.12.017

Currently it is assumed that cathodal stimulation (in transcranial direct current stimulation, tDCS) degrades the neural firing rate, and thus it is believed to degrade cognitive performance. Here we challenge this assumption by predicting that under... Read More about Improving emotional prosody detection in the attending ear by cathodal tDCS suppression of the competing channel.

Phonological false memories in children and adults : evidence for a developmental reversal (2011)
Journal Article
Swannell, E. R., & Dewhurst, S. (2012). Phonological false memories in children and adults : evidence for a developmental reversal. Journal of Memory and Language, 66(2), 376-383. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jml.2011.11.003

False memories created by the Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) procedure typically show a developmental reversal whereby levels of false recall increase with age. In contrast, false memories produced by phonological lists have been shown to decrease as...

Do action goals mediate social inhibition of return? (2011)
Journal Article
Cole, G. G., Skarratt, P. A., & Billing, R.-C. (2012). Do action goals mediate social inhibition of return?. Psychological research, 76(6), 736-746. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00426-011-0395-7

Social inhibition of return is the phenomenon whereby an individual is slower to reach to locations to which another individual has recently responded. Although this suggests that an observer represents another person's action, little is known about... Read More about Do action goals mediate social inhibition of return?.

Automatic and ironic behavior are both mediated by changes in the self-concept (2011)
Journal Article
Wyer, N. A., Neilens, H., Perfect, T. J., & Mazzoni, G. (2011). Automatic and ironic behavior are both mediated by changes in the self-concept. Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 47(6), 1300-1303. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jesp.2011.05.008

Recent accounts suggest that prime-to-behavior effects are mediated by changes to the active self-concept. Likewise, recent reports of post-suppression behavioral rebound have attributed changes to behavior to changes in the self-concept. According t...

Refining the understanding of inhibitory processes: how response prepotency is created and overcome (2011)
Journal Article
Simpson, A., Riggs, K., Beck, S. R., Gorniak, S. L., Wu, Y., Abbott, D., & Diamond, A. (2012). Refining the understanding of inhibitory processes: how response prepotency is created and overcome. Developmental Science, 15(1), 62-73. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-7687.2011.01105.x

Understanding (a) how responses become prepotent provides insights into when inhibition is needed in everyday life. Understanding (b) how response prepotency is overcome provides insights for helping children develop strategies for overcoming such te...

Anticipation of action intentions in autism spectrum disorder (2011)
Journal Article
Hudson, M., Burnett, H. G., & Jellema, T. (2012). Anticipation of action intentions in autism spectrum disorder. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 42(8), 1684-1693. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10803-011-1410-y

We investigated whether individuals with a mild form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are influenced by an actor’s gaze direction when anticipating how an observed action will continue in the immediate future. Participants observed a head rotate tow... Read More about Anticipation of action intentions in autism spectrum disorder.

Executive control and the experience of regret (2011)
Journal Article
Burns, P., Riggs, K. J., & Beck, S. R. (2012). Executive control and the experience of regret. Journal of experimental child psychology, 111(3), 501-515. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jecp.2011.10.003

The experience of regret rests on a counterfactual analysis of events. Previous research indicates that regret emerges at around 6 years of age, marginally later than the age at which children begin to answer counterfactual questions correctly. We hy...

Development and validation of a virtual reality simulator: Human factors input to interventional radiology training (2011)
Journal Article
Johnson, S. J., Guediri, S. M., Kilkenny, C., & Clough, P. J. (2011). Development and validation of a virtual reality simulator: Human factors input to interventional radiology training. Human Factors, 53(6), 612-625. https://doi.org/10.1177/0018720811425042

Objective: This study developed and validated a virtual reality (VR) simulator for use by interventional radiologists.Background: Research in the area of skill acquisition reports practice as essential to become a task expert. Studies on simulation s... Read More about Development and validation of a virtual reality simulator: Human factors input to interventional radiology training.

Personalized and not general suggestion produces false autobiographical memories and suggestion-consistent behavior (2011)
Journal Article
Scoboria, A., Mazzoni, G., Jarry, J. L., & Bernstein, D. M. (2012). Personalized and not general suggestion produces false autobiographical memories and suggestion-consistent behavior. Acta Psychologica, 139(1), 225-232. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actpsy.2011.10.008

Suggesting false childhood events produces false autobiographical beliefs, memories and suggestion-consistent behavior. The mechanisms by which suggestion affects behavior are not understood, and whether false beliefs and memories are necessary for s...
