Social inhibition of return (2010)
Journal Article
Skarratt, P. A., Cole, G. G., & Kingstone, A. (2010). Social inhibition of return. Acta Psychologica, 134(1), 48-54. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actpsy.2009.12.003

Responses to a target stimulus can be slower when it appears in the same rather than a different location to a previous event, an effect known as inhibition of return (IOR). Recently, it has been shown that when two people alternate responses to a ta... Read More about Social inhibition of return.

Lesions to the ventral, but not the dorsal, medial prefrontal cortex enhance latent inhibition (2010)
Journal Article
George, D. N., Duffaud, A. M., Pothuizen, H. H., Haddon, J. E., & Killcross, S. (2010). Lesions to the ventral, but not the dorsal, medial prefrontal cortex enhance latent inhibition. The European journal of neuroscience, 31(8), 1474-1482. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1460-9568.2010.07178.x

The acquisition of a conditioned response to a stimulus when it is paired with a reinforcer is retarded if the stimulus has previously been repeatedly pre-exposed in the absence of the reinforcer. This effect, called latent inhibition, has previously... Read More about Lesions to the ventral, but not the dorsal, medial prefrontal cortex enhance latent inhibition.

Novel labels support 10-month-olds' attention to novel objects (2010)
Journal Article
Mather, E., & Plunkett, K. (2010). Novel labels support 10-month-olds' attention to novel objects. Journal of experimental child psychology, 105(3), 232-242. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jecp.2009.11.004

What is the source of the mutual exclusivity bias whereby infants map novel labels onto novel objects? In an intermodal preferential looking task, we found that novel labels support 10-month-olds' attention to a novel object over a familiar object. I...

Memory, metamemory and their dissociation in temporal lobe epilepsy (2010)
Journal Article
Howard, C. E., Andrés, P., Broks, P., Noad, R., Sadler, M., Coker, D., & Mazzoni, G. (2010). Memory, metamemory and their dissociation in temporal lobe epilepsy. Neuropsychologia, 48(4), 921-932. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2009.11.011

Patients with temporal-lobe epilepsy (TLE) present with memory difficulties. The aim of the current study was to determine to what extent these difficulties could be related to a metamemory impairment. Fifteen patients with TLE and 15 matched healthy...

Subitizing in congenitally blind adults (2010)
Journal Article
Ferrand, L., Riggs, K. J., & Castronovo, J. (2010). Subitizing in congenitally blind adults. Psychonomic bulletin & review, 17(6), 840-845. https://doi.org/10.3758/PBR.17.6.840

We investigated the role of vision in tactile enumeration within and outside the subitizing range. Congenitally blind and sighted (blindfolded) participants were asked to enumerate quickly and accurately the number of fingers stimulated. Both groups...

The Effects of Observation and Gender on Psychogenic Symptoms (2010)
Journal Article

Objective: To assess the effects of modeling and its interaction with gender in the production of psychogenic symptoms. Design: Healthy volunteers were asked to inhale an inert substance described as a suspected environmental toxin that had been repo...

The time course of lexical access in morphologically complex words (2010)
Journal Article
Holle, H., Gunter, T. C., & Koester, D. (2010). The time course of lexical access in morphologically complex words. NeuroReport, 21(5), 319-323. https://doi.org/10.1097/WNR.0b013e328335b3e0

Compounding, the concatenation of words (e.g. dishwasher), is an important mechanism across many languages. This study investigated whether access of initial compound constituents occurs immediately or, alternatively, whether it is delayed until the...

Age-related reduction in daytime sleep propensity and nocturnal slow wave sleep (2010)
Journal Article
Dijk, D.-J., Groeger, J. A., Stanley, N., & Deacon, S. (2010). Age-related reduction in daytime sleep propensity and nocturnal slow wave sleep. SLEEP, 33(2), 211-223

Objective:To investigate whether age-related and experimental reductions in SWS and sleep continuity are associated with increased daytime sleep propensity.Methods:Assessment of daytime sleep propensity under baseline conditions and following experim...

Integration of iconic gestures and speech in left superior temporal areas boosts speech comprehension under adverse listening conditions (2010)
Journal Article
Holle, H., Obleser, J., Rueschemeyer, S.-A., & Gunter, T. C. (2010). Integration of iconic gestures and speech in left superior temporal areas boosts speech comprehension under adverse listening conditions. NeuroImage, 49(1), 875-884. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2009.08.058

Iconic gestures are spontaneous hand movements that illustrate certain contents of speech and, as such, are an important part of face-to-face communication. This experiment targets the brain bases of how iconic gestures and speech are integrated duri...
