Learning words over time : the role of stimulus repetition in mutual exclusivity
Journal Article

During the second year of life, infants develop a preference to attach novel labels to novel objects. This behavior is commonly known as "mutual exclusivity" (Markman, 1989). In an intermodal preferential looking experiment with 19.5- and 22.5-month-... Read More about Learning words over time : the role of stimulus repetition in mutual exclusivity.

Same items, different order : effects of temporal variability on infant categorization
Journal Article
Mather, E., & Plunkett, K. Same items, different order : effects of temporal variability on infant categorization. Cognition, 119(3), 438-447. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2011.02.008

How does variability between members of a category influence infants' category learning? We explore the impact of the order in which different items are sampled on category formation. Two groups of 10-months-olds were presented with a series of exemp... Read More about Same items, different order : effects of temporal variability on infant categorization.

Time to judge sex of speaker: Effect of glottal-pulse rate and vocal-tract length
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, D. R. (2010, August). Time to judge sex of speaker: Effect of glottal-pulse rate and vocal-tract length. Presented at 20th International Congress on Acoustics, ICA 2010, Sydney, Australia

When listening to someone's voice: what stimulus duration is required to tell whether the person speaking is a man or a woman; what are the acoustic cues in speech that influence such judgements; and how does manipulations in these acoustic cues infl...

The disengage deficit in hemispatial neglect is restricted to between-object shifts and is abolished by prism adaptation
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Schindler, I., McIntosh, R. D., Cassidy, T. P., Birchall, D., Benson, V., Ietswaart, M., & Milner, A. D. The disengage deficit in hemispatial neglect is restricted to between-object shifts and is abolished by prism adaptation

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...
