Aims: A new theory of substance dependence is presented that models dependence as the absence of cognitive constraints on substance use. Methods: (1) Critical review of the predominant paradigm that assumes that substance dependence is a pathological...

Kinematics fingerprints of leader and follower role-taking during cooperative joint actions (2013)
Journal Article
Sacheli, L. M., Tidoni, E., Pavone, E. F., Aglioti, S. M., & Candidi, M. (2013). Kinematics fingerprints of leader and follower role-taking during cooperative joint actions. Experimental Brain Research, 226(4), 473-486. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-013-3459-7

Performing online complementary motor adjustments is quintessential to joint actions since it allows interacting people to coordinate efficiently and achieve a common goal. We sought to determine whether, during dyadic interactions, signaling strateg... Read More about Kinematics fingerprints of leader and follower role-taking during cooperative joint actions.

Bootstrapping the early lexicon: how do children use old knowledge to create new meanings? (2013)
Journal Article
Mather, E. (2013). Bootstrapping the early lexicon: how do children use old knowledge to create new meanings?. Frontiers in Psychology, 4, Article 96. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2013.00096

Compared to other aspects of language development, such as acquiring grammar, we perhaps take for granted the complexity of building a lexicon. More than 50 years ago the philosopher W.V.O. Quine provided a now famous example of what makes word learn... Read More about Bootstrapping the early lexicon: how do children use old knowledge to create new meanings?.

Visual surround suppression in schizophrenia (2013)
Journal Article
Tibber, M. S., Anderson, E. J., Bobin, T., Antonova, E., Seabright, A., Wright, B., Carlin, P., Shergill, S. S., & Dakin, S. C. (2013). Visual surround suppression in schizophrenia. Frontiers in Psychology, 4(FEB), Article 88. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2013.00088

Compared to unaffected observers patients with schizophrenia (SZ) show characteristic differences in visual perception, including a reduced susceptibility to the influence of context on judgments of contrast – a manifestation of weaker surround suppr...

Beyond Face Value: Does Involuntary Emotional Anticipation Shape the Perception of Dynamic Facial Expressions? (2013)
Journal Article
Palumbo, L., & Jellema, T. (2013). Beyond Face Value: Does Involuntary Emotional Anticipation Shape the Perception of Dynamic Facial Expressions?. PLoS ONE, 8(2), Article e56003. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0056003

Emotional facial expressions are immediate indicators of the affective dispositions of others. Recently it has been shown thatearly stages of social perception can already be influenced by (implicit) attributions made by the observer about the agent'...

Taking personality selection bias seriously in animal cognition research: A case study in capuchin monkeys (Sapajus apella) (2013)
Journal Article
Morton, F. B., Lee, P. C., & Buchanan-Smith, H. M. (2013). Taking personality selection bias seriously in animal cognition research: A case study in capuchin monkeys (Sapajus apella). Animal Cognition, 16(4), 677-684. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10071-013-0603-5

In most experimental work on animal cognition, researchers attempt to control for multiple interacting variables by training subjects prior to testing, allowing subjects to participate voluntarily, and providing subjects with food rewards. However, d... Read More about Taking personality selection bias seriously in animal cognition research: A case study in capuchin monkeys (Sapajus apella).

Personality traits in people with synaesthesia: do synaesthetes have an atypical personality profile? (2013)
Journal Article
Banissy, M. J., Holle, H., Cassell, J., Annett, L., Tsakanikos, E., Walsh, V., Spiller, M. J., & Ward, J. (2013).

Personality and individual differences, 54(7), 828-831. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2012.12.018

People with synaesthesia not only have – by definition – unusual experiences (e.g., numbers triggering colour), they also have a different cognitive profile (e.g., in terms of their memory and perceptual abilities) and a bias towards certain interest...

Superior numerical abilities following early visual deprivation (2013)
Journal Article
Castronovo, J., & Delvenne, J. F. (2013). Superior numerical abilities following early visual deprivation. Cortex; a journal devoted to the study of the nervous system and behavior, 49(5), 1435-1440. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2012.12.018

In numerical cognition vision has been assumed to play a predominant role in the elaboration of the numerical representations and skills. However, this view has been recently challenged by the discovery that people with early visual deprivation not o... Read More about Superior numerical abilities following early visual deprivation.

Neural bases for individual differences in the subjective experience of short durations (less than 2 seconds) (2013)
Journal Article
Tipples, J., Brattan, V., & Johnston, P. (2013). Neural bases for individual differences in the subjective experience of short durations (less than 2 seconds). PLoS ONE, 8(1), e54669. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0054669

The current research was designed to establish whether individual differences in timing performance predict neural activation in the areas that subserve the perception of short durations ranging between 400 and 1600 milliseconds. Seventeen participan... Read More about Neural bases for individual differences in the subjective experience of short durations (less than 2 seconds).

The role of inhibitory control in the development of human figure drawing in young children (2013)
Journal Article
Riggs, K. J., Jolley, R. P., & Simpson, A. (2013). The role of inhibitory control in the development of human figure drawing in young children. Journal of experimental child psychology, 114(4), 537-542. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jecp.2012.10.003

We investigated the role of inhibitory control in young children's human figure drawing. We used the Bear-Dragon task as a measure of inhibitory control and used the classification system devised by Cox and Parkin to measure the development of human...
