Impaired processing of local geometric features during navigation in a water maze following hippocampal lesions in rats (2007)
Journal Article
Jones, P., Pearce, J., Davies, V., Good, M., & McGregor, A. (2007). Impaired processing of local geometric features during navigation in a water maze following hippocampal lesions in rats. Behavioral Neuroscience, 121(6), 1258-1271. https://doi.org/10.1037/0735-7044.121.6.1258

Hippocampal damage impairs navigation with respect to information provided by the shape of an arena. Recent evidence has suggested that normal rats use local geometric information, as opposed to a global geometric representation, to navigate to a cor...

The discrimination of natural movement by budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulates) and pigeons (Columba livia). (2007)
Journal Article
Mui, R., Haselgrove, M., McGregor, A., Futter, J., Heyes, C., & Pearce, J. (2007). The discrimination of natural movement by budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulates) and pigeons (Columba livia). Journal of experimental psychology, 33(4), 371-380. https://doi.org/10.1037/0097-7403.33.4.371

Three experiments examined the ability of birds to discriminate between the actions of walking forwards and backwards as demonstrated by video clips of a human walking a dog. Experiment 1 revealed that budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulates) could disc...

Context- but not familiarity-dependent forms of object recognition are impaired following excitotoxic hippocampal lesions in rats (2007)
Journal Article
Good, M., Barnes, P., Staal, V., McGregor, A., & Honey, R. (2007). Context- but not familiarity-dependent forms of object recognition are impaired following excitotoxic hippocampal lesions in rats. Behavioral Neuroscience, 121(1), 218-223. https://doi.org/10.1037/0735-7044.121.1.218

Dual-process models of recognition memory in animals propose that recognition memory is supported by two independent processes that reflect the operation of distinct brain structures: a familiarity process that operates independently of the hippocamp...

Infant Hyperopia: Detection, Distribution, Changes and Correlates — Outcomes From the Cambridge Infant Screening Programs (2007)
Journal Article
Atkinson, J., Braddick, O., Nardini, M., & Anker, S. (2007). Infant Hyperopia: Detection, Distribution, Changes and Correlates — Outcomes From the Cambridge Infant Screening Programs. Optometry and Vision Science, 84(2), 84-96. https://doi.org/10.1097/opx.0b013e318031b69a

Purpose. To report on two population screening programs designed to detect significant refractive errors in 8308 8- to 9-month-old infants, examine the sequelae of infant hyperopia, and test whether early partial spectacle correction improved visual...
