Facial emotion modulates the neural mechanisms responsible for short interval time perception (2013)
Journal Article
Tipples, J., Brattan, V., & Johnston, P. (2015). Facial emotion modulates the neural mechanisms responsible for short interval time perception. Brain topography, 28(1), 104-112. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10548-013-0350-6

Emotionally arousing events can distort our sense of time. We used mixed block/event-related fMRI design to establish the neural basis for this effect. Nineteen participants were asked to judge whether angry, happy and neutral facial expressions that...

Disowned recollections: Denying true experiences undermines belief in occurrence but not judgments of remembering (2013)
Journal Article
Mazzoni, G., Clark, A., & Nash, R. A. (2014). Disowned recollections: Denying true experiences undermines belief in occurrence but not judgments of remembering. Acta Psychologica, 145(1), 139-146. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actpsy.2013.11.007

Recent research findings have illustrated that false memories induced in the laboratory can be dissociated from the beliefs that the events had in fact occurred. In this study we assessed whether this dissociability is a quality peculiar to false mem...

The costs of giving up: Action versus inaction asymmetries in regret (2013)
Journal Article
Nicolle, A., & Riggs, K. (2013). The costs of giving up: Action versus inaction asymmetries in regret. Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 36(6), 702. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0140525X13001143

Kurzban et al.'s opportunity cost model of mental effort relies heavily on counterfactual thinking. We suggest that a closer inspection of the role of counterfactual emotions, and particularly of action/inaction asymmetries in anticipated regret, may...

The selective role of premotor cortex in speech perception: A contribution to phoneme judgements but not speech comprehension (2013)
Journal Article
Krieger-Redwood, K., Gareth Gaskell, M., Lindsay, S., & Jefferies, E. (2013). The selective role of premotor cortex in speech perception: A contribution to phoneme judgements but not speech comprehension. Journal of cognitive neuroscience, 25(12), 2179-2188. https://doi.org/10.1162/jocn_a_00463

Several accounts of speech perception propose that the areas involved in producing language are also involved in perceiving it. In line with this view, neuroimaging studies show activation of premotor cortex (PMC) during phoneme judgment tasks; howev...

Priming by relational integration in perceptual identification and Stroop colour naming (2013)
Journal Article
Mather, E., Estes, Z., & Jones, L. L. (2014). Priming by relational integration in perceptual identification and Stroop colour naming. Journal of Memory and Language, 71(1), 57-70. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jml.2013.10.004

Integrative priming is the facilitated recognition of a target word following a prime word with which it can be combined to produce a sub-type of the target (e.g., a lake bird is a type of bird). Such priming occurs even in the absence of lexical ass... Read More about Priming by relational integration in perceptual identification and Stroop colour naming.

Weight maintenance over 12 months after weight loss resulting from participation in a 12-week randomised controlled trial comparing all meal provision to self-directed diet in overweight adults (2013)
Journal Article
Whitham, C., Mellor, D. D., Goodwin, S., Reid, M., & Atkin, S. L. (2014). Weight maintenance over 12 months after weight loss resulting from participation in a 12-week randomised controlled trial comparing all meal provision to self-directed diet in overweight adults. Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, 27(4), 384-390. https://doi.org/10.1111/jhn.12178

Background: The results of weight maintenance after initial weight loss are reported infrequently, although, when they have been reported, the outcomes are generally poor and weight regain is common. Methods: After an initial 12-week randomised inter...

Personality and facial morphology: Links to assertiveness and neuroticism in capuchins (Sapajus [Cebus] apella) (2013)
Journal Article
Wilson, V., Lefevre, C. E., Morton, F. B., Brosnan, S. F., Paukner, A., & Bates, T. C. (2014). Personality and facial morphology: Links to assertiveness and neuroticism in capuchins (Sapajus [Cebus] apella). Personality and individual differences, 58, 89-94. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2013.10.008

Personality has important links to health, social status, and life history outcomes (e.g. longevity and reproductive success). Human facial morphology appears to signal aspects of one's personality to others, raising questions about the evolutionary...

Developmental differences in holistic interference of facial part recognition (2013)
Journal Article
Nakabayashi, K., & Liu, C. H. (2013). Developmental differences in holistic interference of facial part recognition. PLoS ONE, 8(10), e77504. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0077504

Research has shown that adults' recognition of a facial part can be disrupted if the part is learnt without a face context but tested in a whole face. This has been interpreted as the holistic interference effect. The present study investigated wheth... Read More about Developmental differences in holistic interference of facial part recognition.

Effects on obese women of the sugar sucrose added to the diet over 28 d: a quasi-randomised, single-blind, controlled trial (2013)
Journal Article
Reid, M., Hammersley, R., Duffy, M., & Ballantyne, C. (2014). Effects on obese women of the sugar sucrose added to the diet over 28 d: a quasi-randomised, single-blind, controlled trial. British Journal of Nutrition, 111(3), 563-570. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0007114513002687

To investigate whether obese women can compensate for sucrose added to the diet when it is given blind, rather than gaining weight or exhibiting dysfunctional regulation of intake, in the present study, forty-one healthy obese (BMI 30–35 kg/m2) women...
