Neural representation of auditory size in the human voice and in sounds from other resonant sources (2007)
Journal Article
von Kriegstein, K., Smith, D. R. R., Patterson, R. D., Ives, D. T., & Griffiths, T. D. (2007). Neural representation of auditory size in the human voice and in sounds from other resonant sources. Current biology : CB, 17(13), 1123-1128. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2007.05.061

The size of a resonant source can be estimated by the acoustic-scale information in the sound [1-3]. Previous studies revealed that posterior superior temporal gyrus (STG) responds to acoustic scale in human speech when it is controlled for spectral-...

The role of iconic gestures in speech disambiguation: ERP evidence (2007)
Journal Article
Holle, H., & Gunter, T. C. (2007). The role of iconic gestures in speech disambiguation: ERP evidence. Journal of cognitive neuroscience, 19(7), 1175-1192. https://doi.org/10.1162/jocn.2007.19.7.1175

The present series of experiments explored the extent to which iconic gestures convey information not found in speech. Electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded as participants watched videos of a person gesturing and speaking simultaneously. The exper...

Did you witness demonic possession? A response time analysis of the relationship between event plausibility and autobiographical beliefs (2007)
Journal Article
Mazzoni, G. (2007). Did you witness demonic possession? A response time analysis of the relationship between event plausibility and autobiographical beliefs. Psychonomic bulletin & review, 14(2), 277-281. https://doi.org/10.3758/BF03194064

This study tested the hypothesis that the search for information pertinent to answering the question "Did event x happen to you?" is preceded by a preliminary plausibility assessment, the outcome of which affects the amount of effort invested in the...

Regional brain activity after prolonged cholinergic enhancement in early Alzheimer's disease (2007)
Journal Article
Shanks, M. F., McGeown, W. J., Forbes-McKay, K. E., Waiter, G. D., Ries, M., & Venneri, A. (2007). Regional brain activity after prolonged cholinergic enhancement in early Alzheimer's disease. Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 25(6), 848-859. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mri.2007.02.005

This functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study examined changes in brain activation after prolonged (20 weeks) and stabilized treatment with the cholinesterase inhibitor galantamine in a small group of patients with very mild Alzheimer's dis...

Optional-shift behaviour in rats: a novel procedure for assessing attentional processes in discrimination learning (2007)
Journal Article
Duffaud, A. M., Killcross, S., & George, D. N. (2007). Optional-shift behaviour in rats: a novel procedure for assessing attentional processes in discrimination learning. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 60(4), 534-542. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470210601154487

A novel, optional-shift procedure was used to assess changes in the attention paid to stimuli that occur over the course of discrimination learning. In Phase 1, rats were trained on a conditional instrumental discrimination using audiovisual stimulus...

How may refined carbohydrates affect satiety and mood? (2007)
Journal Article
Hammersley, R., Reid, M., & Duffy, M. (2007). How may refined carbohydrates affect satiety and mood?. Nutrition Bulletin, 32(SUPPL.1), 61-70. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-3010.2007.00605.x

Effects of refined carbohydrates on satiety and mood remain controversial. After a brief review of findings, some conceptual distinctions underlying mood and satiety are discussed; the physiological processes, cognitive processes and behaviours invol...

Numerical estimation in blind subjects: evidence of the impact of blindness and its following experience (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Castronovo, J. Numerical estimation in blind subjects: evidence of the impact of blindness and its following experience

Vision was for a long time considered as essential in the elaboration of the semantic numerical representation (e.g., Simon, 1999). However, early visual deprivation does not prevent the elaboration of a numerical representation with similar spatial...

Illness by suggestion: Expectancy, modeling, and gender in the production of psychosomatic symptoms (2007)
Journal Article
Lorber, W., Mazzoni, G., & Kirsch, I. (2007). Illness by suggestion: Expectancy, modeling, and gender in the production of psychosomatic symptoms. Annals of Behavioral Medicine, 33(1), 112-116. https://doi.org/10.1207/s15324796abm3301_13

Background: Expectancy and modeling have been cited as factors in mass psychogenic illness (MPI), which reportedly affects more women than men. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to assess the effects of expectancy and modeling in a controlled labo...

Evidence for word length coding during visual word recognition (2007)
Journal Article
Skarratt, P. A., McDonald, S., & Lavidor, M. (2008). Evidence for word length coding during visual word recognition. European Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 20(1), 12-32. https://doi.org/10.1080/09541440601046647

In a masked priming procedure manipulating orthographic neighbourhood size, the priming word activates a number of word candidates of which the target could be one. Whether the target is one of the candidates or not determines how quickly it is recog... Read More about Evidence for word length coding during visual word recognition.
