Journal Article
Dewhurst, S. A., Conway, M. A., & Brandt, K. R. (2009). Tracking the R-to-K shift: Changes in memory awareness across repeated tests. Applied Cognitive Psychology, 23(6), 849-858. https://doi.org/10.1002/acp.1517

Participants studied lists of rare words and their definitions (e.g. the fleshy area at the base of the thumb = thenar). They were then given recognition tests in which they were shown the definitions and asked to identify the target from a choice of...

Contextual control of biconditional task performance: evidence for cue and response competition in rats (2008)
Journal Article
Haddon, J. . E., George, D. . N., & Killcross, S. (2008). Contextual control of biconditional task performance: evidence for cue and response competition in rats. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 61(9), 1307-1320. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470210701515819

A novel paradigm is presented that was designed to mimic aspects of cue and response competition seen in humans in conflict procedures such as the Stroop task. Rats were trained simultaneously on two biconditional discrimination tasks, one auditory a...

Dissociable neural mechanisms for determining the perceived heaviness of objects and the predicted weight of objects during lifting: An fMRI investigation of the size-weight illusion (2008)
Journal Article
Large, M.-E., Chang, E. C., Chouinard, P. A., & Goodale, M. A. (2009). Dissociable neural mechanisms for determining the perceived heaviness of objects and the predicted weight of objects during lifting: An fMRI investigation of the size-weight illusion. NeuroImage, 44(1), 200-212. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2008.08.023

In size-weight (SW) illusions, people learn to scale their fingertip forces for lifting small and big objects of equal weight even though they fail to learn perceptually that both objects have the same weight. The question then arises as to what the...

The nature of discrimination learning in pigeons (2008)
Journal Article
Pearce, J. M., Esber, G. R., George, D. N., & Haselgrove, M. (2008). The nature of discrimination learning in pigeons. Learning and Behavior, 36(3), 188-199. https://doi.org/10.3758/lb.36.3.188

The results from five experiments are considered in relation to two of Spence's (1937, 1938) proposals concerning discrimination learning. In Experiments 1 and 2, we investigated whether his ideas about the interaction between excitatory and inhibito... Read More about The nature of discrimination learning in pigeons.

Early morning executive functioning during sleep deprivation is compromised by a PERIOD3 polymorphism (2008)
Journal Article
Groeger, J. A., Viola, A. U., Lo, J. C., von Schantz, M., Archer, S. N., & Dijk, D.-J. (2008). Early morning executive functioning during sleep deprivation is compromised by a PERIOD3 polymorphism. SLEEP, 31(8), 1159-1167. https://doi.org/10.5665/sleep/31.8.1159

Study Objectives: To contrast the effects of total sleep deprivation (TSD) on executive and non-executive function in volunteers homozygous for either the short or long variant of a variable number tandem repeat polymorphism in PERIOD3 , which is a...

What makes responses prepotent for young children? Insights from the grass-snow task (2008)
Journal Article
Simpson, A., & Riggs, K. J. (2009). What makes responses prepotent for young children? Insights from the grass-snow task. Infant and Child Development, 18(1), 21-35. https://doi.org/10.1002/icd.576

Understanding how responses become prepotent is essential for understanding when inhibitory control is needed in everyday behaviour. We investigated prepotency in the grass–snow task—in which a child points to a green card when the experimenter says... Read More about What makes responses prepotent for young children? Insights from the grass-snow task.

Dynamic visual noise interferes with storage in visual working memory (2008)
Journal Article
Whittaker, A., Dewhurst, S. A., & Dean, G. M. (2008). Dynamic visual noise interferes with storage in visual working memory. Experimental Psychology, 55(4), 283-289. https://doi.org/10.1027/1618-3169.55.4.283

Several studies have demonstrated that dynamic visual noise (DVN) does not interfere with memory for random matrices. This has led to suggestions that (a) visual working memory is distinct from imagery, and (b) visual working memory is not a gateway...

Portuguese norms for the Waterloo-Stanford Group C (WSGC) scale of hypnotic susceptibility (2008)
Journal Article
Carvalho, C., Kirsch, I., Mazzoni, G., & Leal, I. (2008). Portuguese norms for the Waterloo-Stanford Group C (WSGC) scale of hypnotic susceptibility. International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, 56(3), 295-305. https://doi.org/10.1080/00207140802041850

Portuguese norms for the Waterloo-Stanford Group C (WSGC) scale of hypnotic susceptibility are presented. A Portuguese translation of this scale was given to 625 Portuguese college students. Score distribution, item analysis, and reliability of the W... Read More about Portuguese norms for the Waterloo-Stanford Group C (WSGC) scale of hypnotic susceptibility.

fMRI reveals greater within- than between-hemifield integration in the human lateral occipital cortex (2008)
Journal Article
Large, M.-E., Aldcroft, A., Culham, J., Kuchinad, A., & Vilis, T. (2008). fMRI reveals greater within- than between-hemifield integration in the human lateral occipital cortex. The European journal of neuroscience, 27(12), 3299-3309. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1460-9568.2008.06270.x

Early visual areas within each hemisphere (V1, V2, V3/VP, V4v) contain distinct representations of the upper and lower quadrants of the contralateral hemifield. As receptive field size increases, the retinotopy in higher-tier visual areas becomes pro...

Event related potentials reveal that increasing perceptual load leads to increased responses for target stimuli and decreased responses for irrelevant stimuli (2008)
Journal Article
Rorden, C., Guerrini, C., Swainson, R., Lazzeri, M., & Baylis, G. C. (2008). Event related potentials reveal that increasing perceptual load leads to increased responses for target stimuli and decreased responses for irrelevant stimuli. Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2(MAY), Article 4. https://doi.org/10.3389/neuro.09.004.2008

Lavie (1995) have suggested that perceptual processing is influenced by perceptual load. Specifically, relevant information receives additional processing in high load situations exhausting the available capacity. On the other hand, irrelevant inform...
