Numerical estimation in blind subjects: evidence of the impact of blindness and its following experience (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Castronovo, J. Numerical estimation in blind subjects: evidence of the impact of blindness and its following experience

Vision was for a long time considered as essential in the elaboration of the semantic numerical representation (e.g., Simon, 1999). However, early visual deprivation does not prevent the elaboration of a numerical representation with similar spatial...

Illness by suggestion: Expectancy, modeling, and gender in the production of psychosomatic symptoms (2007)
Journal Article
Lorber, W., Mazzoni, G., & Kirsch, I. (2007). Illness by suggestion: Expectancy, modeling, and gender in the production of psychosomatic symptoms. Annals of Behavioral Medicine, 33(1), 112-116. https://doi.org/10.1207/s15324796abm3301_13

Background: Expectancy and modeling have been cited as factors in mass psychogenic illness (MPI), which reportedly affects more women than men. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to assess the effects of expectancy and modeling in a controlled labo...

Evidence for word length coding during visual word recognition (2007)
Journal Article
Skarratt, P. A., McDonald, S., & Lavidor, M. (2008). Evidence for word length coding during visual word recognition. European Journal of Cognitive Psychology, 20(1), 12-32. https://doi.org/10.1080/09541440601046647

In a masked priming procedure manipulating orthographic neighbourhood size, the priming word activates a number of word candidates of which the target could be one. Whether the target is one of the candidates or not determines how quickly it is recog... Read More about Evidence for word length coding during visual word recognition.

Semantic numerical representation in blind subjects: The role of vision in the spatial format of the mental number line (2007)
Journal Article
Castronovo, J., & Seron, X. (2007). Semantic numerical representation in blind subjects: The role of vision in the spatial format of the mental number line. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 60(1), 101-119. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470210600598635

Does vision play a role in the elaboration of the semantic representation of small and large numerosities, notably in its spatial format? To investigate this issue, we decided to compare in the auditory modality the performance of congenitally and ea...

Long-term dietary compensation for added sugar: Effects of supplementary sucrose drinks over a 4-week period (2007)
Journal Article
Reid, M., Hammersley, R., Hill, A. J., & Skidmore, P. (2007). Long-term dietary compensation for added sugar: Effects of supplementary sucrose drinks over a 4-week period. British Journal of Nutrition, 97(1), 193-203. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0007114507252705

The long-term physiological effects of refined carbohydrates on appetite and mood remain unclear. Reported effects when subjects are not blind may be due to expectations and have rarely been studied for more than 24 h. The present study compared the...

Temporal and spatio-temporal attention to tactile stimuli in extinction patients (2006)
Journal Article
Guerrini, C., & Aglioti, S. M. (2006). Temporal and spatio-temporal attention to tactile stimuli in extinction patients. Cortex; a journal devoted to the study of the nervous system and behavior, 42(1), 17-27. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0010-9452%2808%2970318-6

The temporal deployment of attention to tactile stimuli delivered to the same or to a symmetrical position of the body was assessed in 6 Right-Brain Damaged (RBD) patients with left tactile extinction and 6 healthy controls. Two different tasks calle... Read More about Temporal and spatio-temporal attention to tactile stimuli in extinction patients.

Transfer between two- and three-dimensional representations of faces (2006)
Journal Article
Liu, C. H., Ward, J., & Young, A. W. (2006). Transfer between two- and three-dimensional representations of faces. Visual Cognition, 13(1), 51-64. https://doi.org/10.1080/13506280500143391

Because stereoscopic depth cues are not present in an ordinary photograph, matching a two-dimensional (2-D) photograph to a three-dimensional (3-D) face requires establishing a correspondence between information derived from monocular depth cues and...

Face recognition in pictures is affected by perspective transformation but not by the centre of projection (2006)
Journal Article
Liu, C. H., & Ward, J. (2006). Face recognition in pictures is affected by perspective transformation but not by the centre of projection. Perception, 35(12), 1637-1650. https://doi.org/10.1068/p5545

Recognition of unfamiliar faces is susceptible to image differences caused by angular sizes subtended from the face to the camera. Research on perception of cubes suggests that apparent distortions of a shape due to large camera angle are correctable...

Magnetic stimulation of the left visual cortex impairs expert word recognition (2006)
Journal Article
Skarratt, P. A., & Lavidor, M. (2006). Magnetic stimulation of the left visual cortex impairs expert word recognition. Journal of cognitive neuroscience, 18(10), 1749-1758. https://doi.org/10.1162/jocn.2006.18.10.1749

One of the hallmarks of expert reading is the ability to identify arrays of several letters quickly and in parallel. Such length-independent reading has only been found for word stimuli appearing in the right visual hemifield (RVF). With left hemifie...

Treatment for substance use problems among young offenders: Difficulties and dilemmas for implementation and evaluation in the UK (2006)
Journal Article
Hammersley, R., Reid, M., & Minkes, J. (2006). Treatment for substance use problems among young offenders: Difficulties and dilemmas for implementation and evaluation in the UK. Educational and Child Psychology, 23(2), 40-51

© The British Psychological Society 2006. Youth offending is assumed in part to be caused by substance use problems, consequently policy and practice in youth justice emphasise their treatment. We review four types of difficulty for substance use tre...
