Journal Article
Dewhurst, S. A., & Knott, L. M. (2010). Investigating the encoding-retrieval match in recognition memory : effects of experimental design, specificity, and retention interval. Memory & cognition, 38(8), 1101-1109. https://doi.org/10.3758/MC.38.8.1101

Five experiments investigated the encoding retrieval match in recognition memory by manipulating read and generate conditions at study and at test. Experiments 1A and 1B confirmed previous findings that reinstating encoding operations at test enhance...

Visual aftereffects for walking actions reveal underlying neural mechanisms for action recognition (2010)
Journal Article
Barraclough, N., & Jellema, T. (2011). Visual aftereffects for walking actions reveal underlying neural mechanisms for action recognition. Psychological science : a journal of the American Psychological Society / APS, 22(1), 87-94. https://doi.org/10.1177/0956797610391910

The results of this study illustrate a new high-level visual aftereffect: Observing actors walking forward, without horizontal translation, makes subsequent actors appear to walk backward, and the opposite effect is obtained after observing backward...

It is a psychological truism that thought shapes language. However, the idea that language constrains cognition is less well understood and has been debated in philosophy, linguistic, and psychology. The goal of the present research was to investigat... Read More about Preferences surf on the currents of words: Implicit verb causality influences evaluative conditioning.

Mutual exclusivity and phonological novelty constrain word learning at 16 months (2010)
Journal Article

Studies report that infants as young as 1 ; 3 to 1 ; 5 will seek out a novel object in response to hearing a novel label (e.g. Halberda, 2003; Markman, Wasow & Hansen, 2003). This behaviour is commonly known as the 'mutual exclusivity' response (Ma... Read More about Mutual exclusivity and phonological novelty constrain word learning at 16 months.

Effects of sucrose drinks on macronutrient intake, body weight, and mood state in overweight women over 4 weeks (2010)
Journal Article
