Long-term effects of synthetic versus analytic phonics teaching on the reading and spelling ability of 10 year old boys and girls (2011)
Journal Article
Johnston, R. S., McGeown, S., & Watson, J. E. (2012). Long-term effects of synthetic versus analytic phonics teaching on the reading and spelling ability of 10 year old boys and girls. Reading and Writing, 25(6), 1365-1384. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11145-011-9323-x

A comparison was made of 10-year-old boys and girls who had learnt to read by analytic or synthetic phonics methods as part of their early literacy programmes. The boys taught by the synthetic phonics method had better word reading than the girls in...

The role of evaluative conditioning in attitude formation (2011)
Journal Article
Walther, E., Weil, R., & Düsing, J. (2011). The role of evaluative conditioning in attitude formation. Current directions in psychological science : a journal of the American Psychological Society, 20(3), 192-196. https://doi.org/10.1177/0963721411408771

In this article, we address how attitudes are acquired. We present evaluative conditioning (EC) as an explanation for attitude formation and attitude change. EC refers to changes in liking due to pairings of affectively meaningful and neutral stimuli... Read More about The role of evaluative conditioning in attitude formation.

What iconic gesture fragments reveal about gesture-speech integration: when synchrony is lost, memory can help. (2011)
Journal Article
Obermeier, C., Gunter, T. C., & Holle, H. (2011). What iconic gesture fragments reveal about gesture-speech integration: when synchrony is lost, memory can help. Journal of cognitive neuroscience, 23(7), 1648-1663. https://doi.org/10.1162/jocn.2010.21498

The present series of experiments explores several issues related to gesture-speech integration and synchrony during sentence processing. To be able to more precisely manipulate gesture-speech synchrony, we used gesture fragments instead of complete...

Biases in the perception and affective valence of neutral facial expressions induced by the immediate perceptual history (2011)
Journal Article
Pecchinenda, A., Palumbo, L., Tan, E. G., & Jellema, T. (2011). Biases in the perception and affective valence of neutral facial expressions induced by the immediate perceptual history. Visual Cognition, 19(5), 616-634. https://doi.org/10.1080/13506285.2011.569775

We report a new perceptual distortion of neutral facial expressions induced by the immediate dynamic perceptual history. In Experiment 1, participants evaluated the facial expression on the last frame of videoclips showing morphs from a happy or angr...

Non-transient luminance changes do not capture attention (2011)
Journal Article
Cole, G. G., Kuhn, G., & Skarratt, P. A. (2011). Non-transient luminance changes do not capture attention. Attention, Perception, and Psychophysics, 73(5), 1407-1421. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13414-011-0118-6

The processing of luminance change is a ubiquitous feature of the human visual system and provides the basis for the rapid orienting of attention to potentially important events (e.g., motion onset, object onset). However, despite its importance for... Read More about Non-transient luminance changes do not capture attention.

Convergent, but not divergent, thinking predicts susceptibility to associative memory illusions (2011)
Journal Article
Dewhurst, S. A., Thorley, C., Hammond, E. R., & Ormerod, T. C. (2011). Convergent, but not divergent, thinking predicts susceptibility to associative memory illusions. Personality and individual differences, 51(1), 73-76. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2011.03.018

The relationship between creativity and susceptibility to associative memory illusions in the Deese/Roediger-McDermott procedure was investigated using a multiple regression analysis. Susceptibility to false recognition was significantly predicted by... Read More about Convergent, but not divergent, thinking predicts susceptibility to associative memory illusions.

Under what conditions do children have difficulty in inhibiting imitation? Evidence for the importance of planning specific responses (2011)
Journal Article
Simpson, A., & Riggs, K. J. (2011). Under what conditions do children have difficulty in inhibiting imitation? Evidence for the importance of planning specific responses. Journal of experimental child psychology, 109(4), 512-524. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jecp.2011.02.015

The response set effect has been observed in a number of developmental tasks that are proposed to required inhibition. This effect has been interpreted as evidence that the specific responses children plan to make in these tasks become prepotent. Her...

Both differences in encoding processes and monitoring at retrieval reduce false alarms when distinctive information is studied (2011)
Journal Article
Hanczakowski, M., & Mazzoni, G. (2011). Both differences in encoding processes and monitoring at retrieval reduce false alarms when distinctive information is studied. Memory, 19(3), 280-289. https://doi.org/10.1080/09658211.2011.558514

A reduction in false alarms to critical lures is observed in the DRM paradigm (Roediger & McDermott, 1995) when distinctive information is presented at encoding. Two mechanisms have been proposed to account for this reduction. According to the monito...

Journal Article
Lorteije, J. A., Jellema, T., Raemaekers, M., Duijnhouwer, J., Barraclough, N. E., Xiao, D., Oram, M. W., Lankheet, M. J., Perrett, D. I., & van Wezel, R. J. (2011).

To investigate form-related activity inmotion-sensitive cortical areas, we recorded cell responses to animate implied motion in macaque middle temporal (MT) and medial superior temporal (MST) cortex and investigated these areas using fMRI in humans....

Bilateral field advantage in visual enumeration (2011)
Journal Article
Delvenne, J.-F., Castronovo, J., Demeyere, N., & Humphreys, G. W. (2011). Bilateral field advantage in visual enumeration. PLoS ONE, 6(3), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0017743

A number of recent studies have demonstrated superior visual processing when the information is distributed across the left and right visual fields than if the information is presented in a single hemifield (the bilateral field advantage). This effec... Read More about Bilateral field advantage in visual enumeration.
