Hypnotic suggestibility, cognitive inhibition, and dissociation (2009)
Journal Article
Wright, D. B., Hutton, S., Brown, E., Dienes, Z., Kirsch, I., & Mazzoni, G. (2009). Hypnotic suggestibility, cognitive inhibition, and dissociation. Consciousness and cognition, 18(4), 837-847. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.concog.2009.07.009

We examined two potential correlates of hypnotic suggestibility: dissociation and cognitive inhibition. Dissociation is the foundation of two of the major theories of hypnosis and other theories commonly postulate that hypnotic responding is a result...

Social Problem-Solving and Depressive Symptom Vulnerability: The Importance of Real-Life Problem-Solving Performance (2009)
Journal Article
Anderson, R. J., Goddard, L., & Powell, J. H. (2011). Social Problem-Solving and Depressive Symptom Vulnerability: The Importance of Real-Life Problem-Solving Performance. Cognitive Therapy and Research, 35(1), 48-56. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10608-009-9286-2

Previous research suggests poor social problem-solving may function as a vulnerability factor for depressive symptoms. However, the ecological validity of previous findings is questionable, with recent research using real-life performance based appro...

Managing eating disorder patients in primary care in the UK: A qualitative study (2009)
Journal Article
Reid, M., Williams, S., & Hammersley, R. (2009). Managing eating disorder patients in primary care in the UK: A qualitative study. Eating Disorders, 18(1), 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1080/10640260903439441

It is the general practitioner's (GP's) responsibility to diagnose and manage the care of eating disorder patients but recent surveys suggest that there may be problems. In this qualitative study we have explored the perceptions of 20 GPs. In general... Read More about Managing eating disorder patients in primary care in the UK: A qualitative study.

The role of temporal synchrony as a binding cue for visual persistence in early visual areas: An fMRI study (2009)
Journal Article
Wong, Y. J., Aldcroft, A. J., Large, M., Culham, J. C., & Vilis, T. (2009). The role of temporal synchrony as a binding cue for visual persistence in early visual areas: An fMRI study. Journal of Neurophysiology, 102(6), 3461-3468. https://doi.org/10.1152/jn.00243.2009

We examined the role of temporal synchrony - the simultaneous appearance of visual features - in the perceptual and neural processes underlying object persistence. When a binding cue (such as color or motion) momentarily exposes an object from a back...

Investigating the attentional demands of recognition memory: Manipulating depth of encoding at study and level of attention at test (2009)
Journal Article
Knott, L. M., & Dewhurst, S. A. (2009). Investigating the attentional demands of recognition memory: Manipulating depth of encoding at study and level of attention at test. European Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 21(7), 1045-1071. https://doi.org/10.1080/09541440802539515

Two experiments investigated the effects of divided attention at test after manipulating levels of processing at study. In Experiment 1 items were studied either intact or as anagrams. In Experiment 2 items were studied with either full or divided at...

Relating developments in children's counterfactual thinking and executive functions (2009)
Journal Article
Beck, S. R., Riggs, K. J., & Gorniak, S. L. (2009). Relating developments in children's counterfactual thinking and executive functions. Thinking and Reasoning, 15(4), 337-354. https://doi.org/10.1080/13546780903135904

The performance of 93 children aged 3 and 4 years on a battery of different counterfactual tasks was assessed. Three measures: short causal chains, location change counterfactual conditionals, and false syllogisms—but not a fourth, long causal chains...

Anticipating intentional actions: the effect of eye gaze direction on the judgment of head rotation (2009)
Journal Article
Hudson, M., Liu, C. H., & Jellema, T. (2009). Anticipating intentional actions: the effect of eye gaze direction on the judgment of head rotation. Cognition, 112(3), 423-434. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2009.06.011

Using a representational momentum paradigm, this study investigated the hypothesis that judgments of how far another agent's head has rotated are influenced by the perceived gaze direction of the head. Participants observed a video-clip of a face rot... Read More about Anticipating intentional actions: the effect of eye gaze direction on the judgment of head rotation.

Hypnotic induction decreases anterior default mode activity (2009)
Journal Article
McGeown, W. J., Mazzoni, G., Venneri, A., & Kirsch, I. (2009). Hypnotic induction decreases anterior default mode activity. Consciousness and cognition, 18(4), 848-855. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.concog.2009.09.001

The 'default mode' network refers to cortical areas that are active in the absence of goal-directed activity. In previous studies, decreased activity in the 'default mode' has always been associated with increased activation in task-relevant areas. W...

Transfer between pose and illumination training in face recognition. (2009)
Journal Article
Liu, C. H., Bhuiyan, M. A., Ward, J., & Sui, J. (2009). Transfer between pose and illumination training in face recognition. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 35(4), 939-947. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0013710

The relationship between pose and illumination learning in face recognition was examined in a yes-no recognition paradigm. The authors assessed whether pose training can transfer to a new illumination or vice versa. Results show that an extensive lev...

Patterns of brain activity during a semantic task differentiate normal aging from early Alzheimer's disease (2009)
Journal Article
