Does Oral Breathing Disrupt Memory Consolidation During Waking Rest? A Registered Report (2025)
Journal Article
Richards, B., Holle, H., & Lindsay, S. (2025). Does Oral Breathing Disrupt Memory Consolidation During Waking Rest? A Registered Report. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, https://doi.org/10.1177/17470218251328994

Studies of waking rest, whereby passive rest is compared with an active task, have shown a benefit for declarative memory during short waking rest periods, which has been argued to result from the active task disrupting slow oscillations that occur d...

BMC biology, 23, Article 35. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12915-024-02101-x

Although variation in effect sizes and predicted values among studies of similar phenomena is inevitable, such variation far exceeds what might be produced by sampling error alone. One possible explanation for variation among results is differences a...

Plasticity of categories in speech perception and production (2022)
Journal Article

Semantic interpretability does not influence masked priming effects (2019)
Journal Article

Much of the recent masked nonword priming literature demonstrates no difference in priming between affixed and non-affixed nonword primes (e.g., maskity-MASK vs. maskond-MASK). A possible explanation for the absence of a difference is that studies ha... Read More about Semantic interpretability does not influence masked priming effects.

Reasons to doubt the generalizability, reliability, and diagnosticity of fast mapping (FM) for rapid lexical integration (2019)
Journal Article

Cooper Greve, and Henson (this issue)  caution restraint before accepting that a fast mapping (FM) process exists in adults. We welcome this, but would also add that the original rationale for studying FM in adults is not currently supported by devel...

The selective role of premotor cortex in speech perception: A contribution to phoneme judgements but not speech comprehension (2013)
Journal Article

Several accounts of speech perception propose that the areas involved in producing language are also involved in perceiving it. In line with this view, neuroimaging studies show activation of premotor cortex (PMC) during phoneme judgment tasks; howev...
