Medium versus difficult visual search: How a quantitative change in the functional visual field leads to a qualitative difference in performance (2019)
Journal Article
Hulleman, J., Lund, K., & Skarratt, P. A. (2020). Medium versus difficult visual search: How a quantitative change in the functional visual field leads to a qualitative difference in performance. Attention, Perception, and Psychophysics, 82(1), 118-139. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13414-019-01787-4

The dominant theories of visual search assume that search is a process involving comparisons of individual items against a target description that is based on the properties of the target in isolation. Here, we present four experiments that demonstra...

Social isolation, cognitive reserve, and cognition in healthy older people (2019)
Journal Article
Evans, I. E., Llewellyn, D. J., Matthews, F. E., Woods, R. T., Brayne, C., Clare, L., …Bennett, K. (2019). Social isolation, cognitive reserve, and cognition in healthy older people. PLoS ONE, 13(8), https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0201008

There is evidence to suggest that social isolation is associated with poor cognitive health, although findings are contradictory. One reason for inconsistency in reported findings may be a lack of consideration of underlying mechanisms that could inf...

Previous estimates of whether long-term exposure to benzodiazepines increases dementia risk are conflicting and are compromised by the difficulty of controlling for confounders and by reverse causation. We investigated how estimates for the associati...
