Journal Article
Johnson, S. J., Guediri, S. M., Kilkenny, C., & Clough, P. J. (2011). Development and validation of a virtual reality simulator: Human factors input to interventional radiology training. Human Factors, 53(6), 612-625. https://doi.org/10.1177/0018720811425042

Objective: This study developed and validated a virtual reality (VR) simulator for use by interventional radiologists.Background: Research in the area of skill acquisition reports practice as essential to become a task expert. Studies on simulation s... Read More about Development and validation of a virtual reality simulator: Human factors input to interventional radiology training.

Personalized and not general suggestion produces false autobiographical memories and suggestion-consistent behavior (2011)
Journal Article
Scoboria, A., Mazzoni, G., Jarry, J. L., & Bernstein, D. M. (2012). Personalized and not general suggestion produces false autobiographical memories and suggestion-consistent behavior. Acta Psychologica, 139(1), 225-232. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actpsy.2011.10.008

Suggesting false childhood events produces false autobiographical beliefs, memories and suggestion-consistent behavior. The mechanisms by which suggestion affects behavior are not understood, and whether false beliefs and memories are necessary for s...

Activation of inhibition: Diminishing impulsive behavior by direct current stimulation over the inferior frontal gyrus (2011)
Journal Article
Jacobson, L., Javitt, D. C., & Lavidor, M. (2011). Activation of inhibition: Diminishing impulsive behavior by direct current stimulation over the inferior frontal gyrus. Journal of cognitive neuroscience, 23(11), 3380-3387. https://doi.org/10.1162/jocn_a_00020

A common feature of human existence is the ability to reverse decisions after they are made but before they are implemented. This cognitive control process, termed response inhibition, refers to the ability to inhibit an action once initiated and has...

Proprioceptive drift without illusions of ownership for rotated hands in the "rubber hand illusion" paradigm (2011)
Journal Article
Holle, H., McLatchie, N., Maurer, S., & Ward, J. (2011). Proprioceptive drift without illusions of ownership for rotated hands in the "rubber hand illusion" paradigm. Cognitive neuroscience, 2(3-4), 171-178. https://doi.org/10.1080/17588928.2011.603828

The rubber hand illusion is one reliable way to experimentally manipulate the experience of body ownership. However, debate continues about the necessary and sufficient conditions eliciting the illusion. We measured proprioceptive drift and the subje...

Imitation and observational learning of hand actions: prefrontal involvement and connectivity (2011)
Journal Article
Higuchi, S., Holle, H., Roberts, N., Eickhoff, S. B., & Vogt, S. (2012). Imitation and observational learning of hand actions: prefrontal involvement and connectivity. NeuroImage, 59(2), 1668-1683. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2011.09.021

The first aim of this event-related fMRI study was to identify the neural circuits involved in imitation learning. We used a rapid imitation task where participants directly imitated pictures of guitar chords. The results provide clear evidence for t...

Test-induced priming increases false recognition in older but not younger children. (2011)
Journal Article
Dewhurst, S. A., Howe, M. L., Berry, D. M., & Knott, L. M. (2012). Test-induced priming increases false recognition in older but not younger children. Journal of experimental child psychology, 111(1), 101-107. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jecp.2011.08.006

The effect of test-induced priming on false recognition was investigated in children aged 5, 7, 9, and 11years using lists of semantic associates, category exemplars, and phonological associates. In line with effects previously observed in adults, ni... Read More about Test-induced priming increases false recognition in older but not younger children..

Acquiring novel words and their past tenses: Evidence from lexical effects on phonetic categorisation (2011)
Journal Article
Lindsay, S., Sedin, L. M., & Gaskell, M. G. (2012). Acquiring novel words and their past tenses: Evidence from lexical effects on phonetic categorisation. Journal of Memory and Language, 66(1), 210-225. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jml.2011.07.005

Two experiments addressed how novel verbs come to be represented in the auditory input lexicon, and how the inflected forms of such novel words are acquired and recognised. Participants were introduced to new spoken forms as uninflected verbs. These... Read More about Acquiring novel words and their past tenses: Evidence from lexical effects on phonetic categorisation.

"It's a hair-dryer...No, it's a drill" Misidentification-related false recognitions in younger and older adults (2011)
Journal Article
Vannucci, M., Mazzoni, G., Marchetti, I., & Lavezzini, F. (2012). "It's a hair-dryer...No, it's a drill" Misidentification-related false recognitions in younger and older adults. Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, 54(2), 310-316. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.archger.2011.06.026

Memory for visual objects, although typically highly accurate, can be distorted, especially in older adults. Here we asked whether also erroneous identifications of visual objects subsequently corrected and replaced by a correct identification might...

Positive illusions and its association with cardiovascular functions (2011)
Journal Article

The relationship between positive illusions (or self-enhancement) and cardiovascular functions was investigated using Asian samples in two studies. In phase 1 of Study 1, a generalized self-enhancement index was created for 241 participants using a p... Read More about Positive illusions and its association with cardiovascular functions.

Independent influences of verbalization and race on the configural and featural processing of faces: A behavioral and eye movement study (2011)
Journal Article
Nakabayashi, K., Lloyd-Jones, T. J., Butcher, N., & Liu, C. H. (2012). Independent influences of verbalization and race on the configural and featural processing of faces: A behavioral and eye movement study. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 38(1), 61-77. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0024853

Describing a face in words can either hinder or help subsequent face recognition. Here, the authors examined the relationship between the benefit from verbally describing a series of faces and the same-race advantage (SRA) whereby people are better a...
