Investigating the encoding-retrieval match in recognition memory : effects of experimental design, specificity, and retention interval (2010)
Journal Article
Dewhurst, S. A., & Knott, L. M. (2010). Investigating the encoding-retrieval match in recognition memory : effects of experimental design, specificity, and retention interval. Memory & cognition, 38(8), 1101-1109. https://doi.org/10.3758/MC.38.8.1101

Five experiments investigated the encoding retrieval match in recognition memory by manipulating read and generate conditions at study and at test. Experiments 1A and 1B confirmed previous findings that reinstating encoding operations at test enhance...

Visual aftereffects for walking actions reveal underlying neural mechanisms for action recognition (2010)
Journal Article
Barraclough, N., & Jellema, T. (2011). Visual aftereffects for walking actions reveal underlying neural mechanisms for action recognition. Psychological science : a journal of the American Psychological Society / APS, 22(1), 87-94. https://doi.org/10.1177/0956797610391910

The results of this study illustrate a new high-level visual aftereffect: Observing actors walking forward, without horizontal translation, makes subsequent actors appear to walk backward, and the opposite effect is obtained after observing backward...

Journal Article
Hammersley, R. (2011). Susanne MacGregor (ed.) (2010), Responding to Drug Misuse: Research and Policy Priorities in Health and Social Care. Hove, Sussex: Routledge. £39, pp. 247, hbk. Journal of Social Policy, 40(1), 202-203. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0047279410000802

This article begins by examining the possible meanings of ‘sustainability’, and argues that most meanings are prescriptive rather than descriptive in nature: they tend, either overtly or covertly, to recommend the particular end-states that writers d...

Preferences surf on the currents of words: Implicit verb causality influences evaluative conditioning (2010)
Journal Article
Walther, E., Langer, T., Weil, R., & Komischke, M. (2011). Preferences surf on the currents of words: Implicit verb causality influences evaluative conditioning. European Journal of Social Psychology, 41(1), 17-22. https://doi.org/10.1002/ejsp.785

It is a psychological truism that thought shapes language. However, the idea that language constrains cognition is less well understood and has been debated in philosophy, linguistic, and psychology. The goal of the present research was to investigat... Read More about Preferences surf on the currents of words: Implicit verb causality influences evaluative conditioning.

Time to judge sex of speaker: Effect of glottal-pulse rate and vocal-tract length (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, D. R. (2010, August). Time to judge sex of speaker: Effect of glottal-pulse rate and vocal-tract length. Presented at 20th International Congress on Acoustics, ICA 2010, Sydney, Australia

When listening to someone's voice: what stimulus duration is required to tell whether the person speaking is a man or a woman; what are the acoustic cues in speech that influence such judgements; and how does manipulations in these acoustic cues infl...

The impact of novel labels on visual processing during infancy (2010)
Journal Article
Mather, E., Schafer, G., & Houston-Price, C. (2011). The impact of novel labels on visual processing during infancy. British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 29(4), 783-805. https://doi.org/10.1348/2044-835X.002008

The impact of novel labels on visual processing was investigated across two experiments with infants aged between 9 and 21 months. Infants viewed pairs of images across a series of preferential looking trials. On each trial, one image was novel, and...

Mutual exclusivity and phonological novelty constrain word learning at 16 months (2010)
Journal Article
Mather, E., & Plunkett, K. (2011). Mutual exclusivity and phonological novelty constrain word learning at 16 months. Journal of child language, 38(5), 933-950. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0305000910000401

Studies report that infants as young as 1 ; 3 to 1 ; 5 will seek out a novel object in response to hearing a novel label (e.g. Halberda, 2003; Markman, Wasow & Hansen, 2003). This behaviour is commonly known as the 'mutual exclusivity' response (Ma... Read More about Mutual exclusivity and phonological novelty constrain word learning at 16 months.

A complementary systems account of word learning in L1 and L2 (2010)
Journal Article
Lindsay, S., & Gaskell, M. G. (2010). A complementary systems account of word learning in L1 and L2. Language Learning, 60(SUPPL. 2), 45-63. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-9922.2010.00600.x

We review a body of behavioral and neuroimaging research relating to the acquisition and integration of novel words. An important outcome from this research is that different aspects of knowledge associated with learning a new word become established...
