Memory, metamemory and their dissociation in temporal lobe epilepsy (2010)
Journal Article
Howard, C. E., Andrés, P., Broks, P., Noad, R., Sadler, M., Coker, D., & Mazzoni, G. (2010). Memory, metamemory and their dissociation in temporal lobe epilepsy. Neuropsychologia, 48(4), 921-932. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2009.11.011

Patients with temporal-lobe epilepsy (TLE) present with memory difficulties. The aim of the current study was to determine to what extent these difficulties could be related to a metamemory impairment. Fifteen patients with TLE and 15 matched healthy...

Novel labels support 10-month-olds' attention to novel objects (2010)
Journal Article
Mather, E., & Plunkett, K. (2010). Novel labels support 10-month-olds' attention to novel objects. Journal of experimental child psychology, 105(3), 232-242. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jecp.2009.11.004

What is the source of the mutual exclusivity bias whereby infants map novel labels onto novel objects? In an intermodal preferential looking task, we found that novel labels support 10-month-olds' attention to a novel object over a familiar object. I...

Subitizing in congenitally blind adults (2010)
Journal Article
Ferrand, L., Riggs, K. J., & Castronovo, J. (2010). Subitizing in congenitally blind adults. Psychonomic bulletin & review, 17(6), 840-845. https://doi.org/10.3758/PBR.17.6.840

We investigated the role of vision in tactile enumeration within and outside the subitizing range. Congenitally blind and sighted (blindfolded) participants were asked to enumerate quickly and accurately the number of fingers stimulated. Both groups...

The Effects of Observation and Gender on Psychogenic Symptoms (2010)
Journal Article

Objective: To assess the effects of modeling and its interaction with gender in the production of psychogenic symptoms. Design: Healthy volunteers were asked to inhale an inert substance described as a suspected environmental toxin that had been repo...

The time course of lexical access in morphologically complex words (2010)
Journal Article
Holle, H., Gunter, T. C., & Koester, D. (2010). The time course of lexical access in morphologically complex words. NeuroReport, 21(5), 319-323. https://doi.org/10.1097/WNR.0b013e328335b3e0

Compounding, the concatenation of words (e.g. dishwasher), is an important mechanism across many languages. This study investigated whether access of initial compound constituents occurs immediately or, alternatively, whether it is delayed until the...

Age-related reduction in daytime sleep propensity and nocturnal slow wave sleep (2010)
Journal Article
Dijk, D., Groeger, J. A., Stanley, N., & Deacon, S. (2010). Age-related reduction in daytime sleep propensity and nocturnal slow wave sleep. SLEEP, 33(2), 211-223

Objective:To investigate whether age-related and experimental reductions in SWS and sleep continuity are associated with increased daytime sleep propensity.Methods:Assessment of daytime sleep propensity under baseline conditions and following experim...

The impact of task controllability on perceived control and cardiovascular processes (2010)
Journal Article

This article examines the impact of task control on perceived control and cardiovascular processes. Fifty-eight undergraduates performed a computer task where the functionality of the computer mouse was used to manipulate task control. Results are co...

Integration of iconic gestures and speech in left superior temporal areas boosts speech comprehension under adverse listening conditions (2010)
Journal Article
Holle, H., Obleser, J., Rueschemeyer, S., & Gunter, T. C. (2010). Integration of iconic gestures and speech in left superior temporal areas boosts speech comprehension under adverse listening conditions. NeuroImage, 49(1), 875-884. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2009.08.058

Iconic gestures are spontaneous hand movements that illustrate certain contents of speech and, as such, are an important part of face-to-face communication. This experiment targets the brain bases of how iconic gestures and speech are integrated duri...

How the human brain recognizes speech in the context of changing speakers (2010)
Journal Article
Von Kriegstein, K., Smith, D. R., Patterson, R. D., Kiebel, S. J., & Griffiths, T. D. (2010). How the human brain recognizes speech in the context of changing speakers. Journal of Neuroscience, 30(2), 629-638. https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.2742-09.2010

We understand speech from different speakers with ease, whereas artificial speech recognition systems struggle with this task. It is unclear how the human brain solves this problem. The conventional view is that speech message recognition and speaker... Read More about How the human brain recognizes speech in the context of changing speakers.

Simulating the future of actions in the human corticospinal system (2010)
Journal Article
Urgesi, C., Maieron, M., Avenanti, A., Tidoni, E., Fabbro, F., & Aglioti, S. M. (2010). Simulating the future of actions in the human corticospinal system. Cerebral Cortex, 20(11), 2511-2521. https://doi.org/10.1093/cercor/bhp292

Perception of the final position of a moving object or creature is distorted forward along its actual or implied motion path, thus enabling anticipation of its forthcoming position. In a previous research, we demonstrated that viewing static snapshot... Read More about Simulating the future of actions in the human corticospinal system.
