Individual differences in object and spatial imagery: personality correlates (2008)
Journal Article
Vannucci, M., & Mazzoni, G. (2009). Individual differences in object and spatial imagery: personality correlates. Personality and individual differences, 46(4), 402-405. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2008.11.003

In the present study, we investigated whether individual differences in object and spatial imagery are correlated with two personality variables, fantasy proneness and dissociation. One hundred and eight undergraduates filled out the Object-Spatial I... Read More about Individual differences in object and spatial imagery: personality correlates.

Choosing between alternative wrist postures: Action planning needs perception (2008)
Journal Article
Dijkerman, H. C., McIntosh, R. D., Schindler, I., Nijboer, T. C. W., & Milner, A. D. (2009). Choosing between alternative wrist postures: Action planning needs perception. Neuropsychologia, 47(6), 1476-1482. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2008.12.002

When normal subjects grasp with their right hand a rectangular object placed at different orientations in the horizontal plane, they change from a 'thumb left' (clockwise) to a 'thumb right' (anti-clockwise) grasp when the orientation exceeds about 1...

The roles of encoding and retrieval processes in associative and categorical memory illusions (2008)
Journal Article
Dewhurst, S. A., Bould, E., Knott, L. M., & Thorley, C. (2009). The roles of encoding and retrieval processes in associative and categorical memory illusions. Journal of Memory and Language, 60(1), 154-164. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jml.2008.09.002

Four experiments investigated the origin of associative and categorical memory illusions by comparing the effects of study and test associations on Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) and categorized lists. Experiments 1 and 2 found that levels of false r... Read More about The roles of encoding and retrieval processes in associative and categorical memory illusions.

The disengage deficit in hemispatial neglect is restricted to between-object shifts and is abolished by prism adaptation (2008)
Journal Article
Schindler, I., McIntosh, R. D., Cassidy, T. P., Birchall, D., Benson, V., Ietswaart, M., & Milner, A. D. (2009). The disengage deficit in hemispatial neglect is restricted to between-object shifts and is abolished by prism adaptation. Experimental Brain Research, 192(3), 499-510. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-008-1585-4

We sought to determine the effects of prism adaptation on peripherally cued visual attention shifting in patients with spatial neglect, using a task devised by Egly et al. (J Exp Psychol Gen 123:161-177, 1994) based on the classic Posner paradigm. Th...

Eating disorders patients' views on their disorders and on an outpatient service: A qualitative study (2008)
Journal Article
Reid, M., Burr, J., Williams, S., & Hammersley, R. (2008). Eating disorders patients' views on their disorders and on an outpatient service: A qualitative study. Journal of health psychology, 13(7), 956-960. https://doi.org/10.1177/1359105308095070

The objective of the study was to determine sufferers' views of outpatient treatment for eating disorders and provide practical recommendations for treatment practice. Twenty NHS outpatients participated in semi-structured interviews, which were subj...

"Don't know" responding to answerable and unanswerable questions during misleading and hypnotic interviews (2008)
Journal Article
Scoboria, A., Mazzoni, G., & Kirsch, I. (2008). "Don't know" responding to answerable and unanswerable questions during misleading and hypnotic interviews. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, 14(3), 255-265. https://doi.org/10.1037/1076-898X.14.3.255

"Don't know" (DK) responses to interview questions are conceptually heterogeneous, and may represent uncertainty or clear statements about the contents of memory. A study examined the subjective intent of DK responses in relation to the objective sta...

Contralateral visual search deficits following TMS (2008)
Journal Article
Schindler, I., Ellison, A., & Milner, A. D. (2008). Contralateral visual search deficits following TMS. Journal of neuropsychology, 2(2), 501-508. https://doi.org/10.1348/174866407x227024

Transcranial magnetic stimulation of posterior parietal vs. superior temporal sites cause differential effects on conventional conjunction vs. feature search tasks, respectively. We now report that when a decision has to be made on the target's left/... Read More about Contralateral visual search deficits following TMS.

Tracking the R-to-K shift: Changes in memory awareness across repeated tests (2008)
Journal Article
Dewhurst, S. A., Conway, M. A., & Brandt, K. R. (2009). Tracking the R-to-K shift: Changes in memory awareness across repeated tests. Applied Cognitive Psychology, 23(6), 849-858. https://doi.org/10.1002/acp.1517

Participants studied lists of rare words and their definitions (e.g. the fleshy area at the base of the thumb = thenar). They were then given recognition tests in which they were shown the definitions and asked to identify the target from a choice of...
