And yet they act together: Interpersonal perception modulates visuo-motor interference and mutual adjustments during a joint-grasping task (2012)
Journal Article
Sacheli, L. M., Candidi, M., Pavone, E. F., Tidoni, E., & Aglioti, S. M. (2012). And yet they act together: Interpersonal perception modulates visuo-motor interference and mutual adjustments during a joint-grasping task. PLoS ONE, 7(11), e50223. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0050223

Prediction of “when” a partner will act and “what” he is going to do is crucial in joint-action contexts. However, studies on face-to-face interactions in which two people have to mutually adjust their movements in time and space are lacking. Moreove...

Neural basis of contagious itch and why some people are more prone to it (2012)
Journal Article
Holle, H., Warne, K., Seth, A. K., Critchley, H. D., & Ward, J. (2012). Neural basis of contagious itch and why some people are more prone to it. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 109(48), 19816-19821. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1216160109

Watching someone scratch himself can induce feelings of itchiness in the perceiver. This provides a unique opportunity to characterize the neural basis of subjective experiences of itch, independent of changes in peripheral inputs. In this study, we...

Mental capacity and working memory in chemistry: Algorithmic versus open-ended problem solving (2012)
Journal Article

Previous research has revealed that problem solving and attainment in chemistry are constrained by mental capacity and working memory. However, the terms mental capacity and working memory come from different theories of cognitive resources, and are...

A controversy in the field of hypnosis has centered on the question of whether there is a uniquely hypnotic state of consciousness and, if so, whether it is causally related to responsiveness to suggestion. Evidence from brain imaging studies has bee... Read More about Neuroimaging resolution of the altered state hypothesis.

Are adolescents with high mental toughness levels more resilient against stress? (2012)
Journal Article

Mental toughness has been explored predominantly within sport contexts. Nevertheless, it is difficult to conceive mental toughness as only applicable to athletes. This study examines whether mentally tough participants exhibit resilience against stre... Read More about Are adolescents with high mental toughness levels more resilient against stress?.

Amnesia and the DRM Paradigm: How Encoding Factors (Do Not) Affect Lure Recognition (2012)
Journal Article

In the DRM paradigm, participants are presented with, and their memory is tested for, lists of words that are associatively related to a non-presented lure word. Recent studies have revealed that amnesic patients show heightened immediate, but dimini... Read More about Amnesia and the DRM Paradigm: How Encoding Factors (Do Not) Affect Lure Recognition.
