Coding of visible and hidden actions (2002)
Book Chapter
Jellema, T., & Perrett, D. (2002). Coding of visible and hidden actions. In W. Prinz, & B. Hommel (Eds.), Common Mechanisms in Perception and Action (356-380). Oxford University Press

We review the properties of cells in the temporal cortex of the macaque monkey, which are sensitive to visual cues arising from the face and body and their movements. We speculate that the responses of populations of cells in the cortex of the anteri... Read More about Coding of visible and hidden actions.

Summation: further assessment of a configural theory (2002)
Journal Article
Pearce, J. M., George, D. N., & Aydin, A. (2002). Summation: further assessment of a configural theory. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology Section B. Comparative and Physiological Psychology, 55(1b), 61-73. https://doi.org/10.1080/02724990143000171

Rats received Pavlovian conditioning in which food was signalled by a visual stimulus, A+, an auditory stimulus, B+, and a compound composed of different visual and auditory stimuli, CD+. Test trials were then given with the compound AB. Experiments... Read More about Summation: further assessment of a configural theory.

Cannabis use and social identity (2001)
Journal Article
Hammersley, R., Jenkins, R., & Reid, M. (2001). Cannabis use and social identity. Addiction research & theory, 9(2), 133-150. https://doi.org/10.3109/16066350109141745

Cannabis use has become common, but we still understand little about how and why people use cannabis. This paper theorises the relationship between cannabis use and social identity, suggesting that cannabis use is an important aspect of many people's...

Discrimination of structure: I. Implications for connectionist theories of discrimination learning. (2001)
Journal Article
George, D. N., Ward-Robinson, J., & Pearce, J. M. (2001). Discrimination of structure: I. Implications for connectionist theories of discrimination learning. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes, 27(3), 206-218. https://doi.org/10.1037/0097-7403.27.3.206

In each of 4 experiments animals were given a structural discrimination task that involved visual patterns composed of identical features, but the spatial relations among the features were different for reinforced and nonreinforced trials. In Experim... Read More about Discrimination of structure: I. Implications for connectionist theories of discrimination learning..

Motion processing in autism: evidence for a dorsal stream deficiency (2000)
Journal Article
Spencer, J., O'Brien, J., Riggs, K., Braddick, O., Atkinson, J., & Wattam-Bell, J. (2000). Motion processing in autism: evidence for a dorsal stream deficiency. NeuroReport, 11(12), 2765-2767. https://doi.org/10.1097/00001756-200008210-00031

We report that motion coherence thresholds in children with autism are significantly higher than in matched controls. No corresponding difference in form coherence thresholds was found. We interpret this as a specific deficit in dorsal stream functio... Read More about Motion processing in autism: evidence for a dorsal stream deficiency.

The effects of sucrose and maize oil on subsequent food intake and mood (1999)
Journal Article
Reid, M., & Hammersley, R. (1999). The effects of sucrose and maize oil on subsequent food intake and mood. British Journal of Nutrition, 82(6), 447-455. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0007114599001701

The effects of sucrose and oil preloads were explicitly compared in a single-blind controlled trial using a between-subjects design. Eighty adult subjects (forty-three male, thirty-seven female) aged 18-50 years received at 11.00 hours one of four yo...

The effects of carbohydrates on arousal (1999)
Journal Article
Reid, M., & Hammersley, R. (1999). The effects of carbohydrates on arousal. Nutrition research reviews, 12(1), 3-23

Carbohydrate ingestion may reduce arousal, although some studies have failed to find this effect. Arousal has generally been measured by mood scales. Reductions in rated arousal have sometimes been interpreted as indicating direct effects of serotoni... Read More about The effects of carbohydrates on arousal.

Adaptive modelling and mindreading (1999)
Journal Article
Peterson, D. M., & Riggs, K. J. (1999). Adaptive modelling and mindreading. Mind & language, 14(1), 80-112. https://doi.org/10.1111/1468-0017.00104

This paper sets out to give sufficient detail to the notion of mental simulation to allow an appraisal of its contribution to 'mindreading' in the context of the 'false-belief tasks' used in developmental psychology. We first describe the reasoning s... Read More about Adaptive modelling and mindreading.
