The anatomical bases of semantic retrieval deficits in early Alzheimer's disease (2007)
Journal Article
Venneri, A., McGeown, W. J., Hietanen, H. M., Guerrini, C., Ellis, A. W., & Shanks, M. F. (2008). The anatomical bases of semantic retrieval deficits in early Alzheimer's disease. Neuropsychologia, 46(2), 497-510. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2007.08.026

Semantic abilities deteriorate early in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and their residual language is characterised by strong lexical effects such as the age of acquisition of words and their typicality. The anatomical bases of this early sem... Read More about The anatomical bases of semantic retrieval deficits in early Alzheimer's disease.

The role of active exploration of 3D face stimuli on recognition memory of facial information (2007)
Journal Article
Liu, C. H., Ward, J., & Markall, H. (2007). The role of active exploration of 3D face stimuli on recognition memory of facial information. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 33(4), 895-904. https://doi.org/10.1037/0096-1523.33.4.895

Research on face recognition has mainly relied on methods in which observers are relatively passive viewers of face stimuli. This study investigated whether active exploration of three-dimensional (3D) face stimuli could facilitate recognition memory...

A grounded theory approach to the phenomenon of pro-anorexia (2007)
Journal Article
Williams, S., & Reid, M. (2007). A grounded theory approach to the phenomenon of pro-anorexia. Addiction research & theory, 15(2), 141-152. https://doi.org/10.1080/16066350601143239

This research looked at the thoughts and feelings expressed by visitors to pro-anorexic websites to find out how they felt about anorexia and why they used pro-anorexic sites. Using grounded theory (Strauss A, Corbin J. 1998. Basics of qualitative re... Read More about A grounded theory approach to the phenomenon of pro-anorexia.

Neural representation of auditory size in the human voice and in sounds from other resonant sources (2007)
Journal Article
von Kriegstein, K., Smith, D. R. R., Patterson, R. D., Ives, D. T., & Griffiths, T. D. (2007). Neural representation of auditory size in the human voice and in sounds from other resonant sources. Current biology : CB, 17(13), 1123-1128. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2007.05.061

The size of a resonant source can be estimated by the acoustic-scale information in the sound [1-3]. Previous studies revealed that posterior superior temporal gyrus (STG) responds to acoustic scale in human speech when it is controlled for spectral-...

The role of iconic gestures in speech disambiguation: ERP evidence (2007)
Journal Article
Holle, H., & Gunter, T. C. (2007). The role of iconic gestures in speech disambiguation: ERP evidence. Journal of cognitive neuroscience, 19(7), 1175-1192. https://doi.org/10.1162/jocn.2007.19.7.1175

The present series of experiments explored the extent to which iconic gestures convey information not found in speech. Electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded as participants watched videos of a person gesturing and speaking simultaneously. The exper...

Did you witness demonic possession? A response time analysis of the relationship between event plausibility and autobiographical beliefs (2007)
Journal Article
Mazzoni, G. (2007). Did you witness demonic possession? A response time analysis of the relationship between event plausibility and autobiographical beliefs. Psychonomic bulletin & review, 14(2), 277-281. https://doi.org/10.3758/BF03194064

This study tested the hypothesis that the search for information pertinent to answering the question "Did event x happen to you?" is preceded by a preliminary plausibility assessment, the outcome of which affects the amount of effort invested in the...

Regional brain activity after prolonged cholinergic enhancement in early Alzheimer's disease (2007)
Journal Article
Shanks, M. F., McGeown, W. J., Forbes-McKay, K. E., Waiter, G. D., Ries, M., & Venneri, A. (2007). Regional brain activity after prolonged cholinergic enhancement in early Alzheimer's disease. Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 25(6), 848-859. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mri.2007.02.005

This functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study examined changes in brain activation after prolonged (20 weeks) and stabilized treatment with the cholinesterase inhibitor galantamine in a small group of patients with very mild Alzheimer's dis...

Optional-shift behaviour in rats: a novel procedure for assessing attentional processes in discrimination learning (2007)
Journal Article
Duffaud, A. M., Killcross, S., & George, D. N. (2007). Optional-shift behaviour in rats: a novel procedure for assessing attentional processes in discrimination learning. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 60(4), 534-542. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470210601154487

A novel, optional-shift procedure was used to assess changes in the attention paid to stimuli that occur over the course of discrimination learning. In Phase 1, rats were trained on a conditional instrumental discrimination using audiovisual stimulus...

How may refined carbohydrates affect satiety and mood? (2007)
Journal Article
Hammersley, R., Reid, M., & Duffy, M. (2007). How may refined carbohydrates affect satiety and mood?. Nutrition Bulletin, 32(SUPPL.1), 61-70. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-3010.2007.00605.x

Effects of refined carbohydrates on satiety and mood remain controversial. After a brief review of findings, some conceptual distinctions underlying mood and satiety are discussed; the physiological processes, cognitive processes and behaviours invol...
