Social intuition: behavioral and neurobiological considerations (2024)
Journal Article
Jellema, T., Macinska, S. T., O’Connor, R. J., & Skodova, T. (2024). Social intuition: behavioral and neurobiological considerations. Frontiers in Psychology, 15, Article 1336363. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2024.1336363

Social intuition is instrumental in bringing about successful human interactions, yet its behavioral and neural underpinnings are still poorly understood. We focus in this article on the automatic, involuntary, nature of social intuition, rather than... Read More about Social intuition: behavioral and neurobiological considerations.

Visual Attention to Dynamic Emotional Faces in Adults on the Autism Spectrum (2023)
Journal Article

Could direct and generative retrieval be two flips of the same coin? A dual-task paradigm study (2022)
Journal Article
Gatti, D., Somos, E., Mazzoni, G., & Jellema, T. (2022). Could direct and generative retrieval be two flips of the same coin? A dual-task paradigm study. Cognitive processing, 23(3), 513-519. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10339-022-01095-0

Autobiographical memories are thought to be retrieved using two possible ways: a generative one, which is effortful and follows a general-to-specific pathway, and a direct one, which is automatic and relatively effortless. These two retrieve processe... Read More about Could direct and generative retrieval be two flips of the same coin? A dual-task paradigm study.

The mirror neuron system (MNS) becomes active during action execution and action observation, which is presumably reflected by reductions in mu (8–13 Hz) activity in the electroencephalogram over the sensorimotor cortex. The function of the MNS is st... Read More about Sensorimotor cortex activation during anticipation of upcoming predictable but not unpredictable actions.

Implicit learning about people’s states of mind relies inherently on associated emotions and affective valences, with abstract concepts such as disposition, attitude and intention being an intrinsic part of what is learned. Yet, similarly to studies... Read More about Implicit social cognition in autism spectrum disorder.

The role of pattern extrapolation in the perception of dynamic facial expressions in Autism Spectrum Disorder (2018)
Journal Article
