Spatial Working Memory in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (2018)
Journal Article
Smith, D., & Archibald, N. (2020). Spatial Working Memory in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. Cortex, 122, 115-122. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2018.07.004

The neural and cognitive mechanisms of spatial working memory are tightly coupled with the systems that control eye-movements but the precise nature of this coupling is not well understood. In particular, there are very few neuropsychological studies... Read More about Spatial Working Memory in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.

The effect of offset cues on saccade programming and covert attention (2018)
Journal Article
Smith, D., & Casteau, S. (2019). The effect of offset cues on saccade programming and covert attention. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 72(3), 481-490. https://doi.org/10.1177/1747021818759468

Salient peripheral events trigger fast, “exogenous” covert orienting. The influential premotor theory of attention argues that covert orienting of attention depends upon planned but unexecuted eye-movements. One problem with this theory is that salie...

Mental State Attributions Mediate the Gaze Cueing Effect (2018)
Journal Article
Morgan, E. J., Freeth, M., & Smith, D. T. (2018). Mental State Attributions Mediate the Gaze Cueing Effect. Vision, 2(1), Article 11. https://doi.org/10.3390/vision2010011

Understanding the mental states of our social partners allows us to successfully interact with the world around us. Mental state attributions are argued to underpin social attention, and have been shown to modulate attentional orienting to social cue...

Investigating the familiarity effect in texture segmentation by means of event-related brain potentials (2017)
Journal Article
Becker, L., Smith, D., & Schenk, T. (2017). Investigating the familiarity effect in texture segmentation by means of event-related brain potentials. Vision Research, 140, 120-132. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.visres.2017.08.002

The familiarity effect (FE) refers to the phenomenon that it is easier to find an unfamiliar element on a background of familiar elements than vice versa. In this study, we examined the FE in texture segmentation while recording event-related brain p...

Spontaneous Perspective Taking in Humans? (2017)
Journal Article
Cole, G., Atkinson, M., D’Souza, A., & Smith, D. (2017). Spontaneous Perspective Taking in Humans?. Vision, 1(17), 2-15. https://doi.org/10.3390/vision1020017

A number of social cognition studies posit that humans spontaneously compute the viewpoint of other individuals. This is based on experiments showing that responses are shorter when a human agent, located in a visual display, can see the stimuli rele...

Working memory enhances target detection in the blind hemifield (2016)
Journal Article
Smith, D. T., & Lane, A. R. (2016). Working memory enhances target detection in the blind hemifield. Visual Cognition, 25(1-3), 4-9. https://doi.org/10.1080/13506285.2016.1244137

Visual perception can be influenced by the content of working memory. Previous studies have shown this influence can be enough to improve unconscious visual discrimination in healthy participants and conscious visual discrimination in neuropsychologi...

Do humans spontaneously take the perspective of others? (2016)
Journal Article
Cole, G., Atkinson, M., Le, A., & Smith, D. (2016). Do humans spontaneously take the perspective of others?. Acta Psychologica, 164, 165-168. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actpsy.2016.01.007

A growing number of authors have argued that humans automatically compute the visual perspective of other individuals. Evidence for this has come from the dot perspective task in which observers are faster to judge the number of dots in a display whe...

Object-based attentional facilitation and inhibition are neuropsychologically dissociated (2015)
Journal Article
Smith, D., Ball, K., Swalwell, R., & Schenk, T. (2016). Object-based attentional facilitation and inhibition are neuropsychologically dissociated. Neuropsychologia, 80, 9-16. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2015.11.003

Salient peripheral cues produce a transient shift of attention which is superseded by a sustained inhibitory effect. Cueing part of an object produces an inhibitory cueing effect (ICE) that spreads throughout the object. In dynamic scenes the ICE sta...

Rewards modulate saccade latency but not exogenous spatial attention (2015)
Journal Article
Dunne, S., Ellison, A., & Smith, D. (2015). Rewards modulate saccade latency but not exogenous spatial attention. Frontiers in Psychology, 6, Article 1080. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.01080

The eye movement system is sensitive to reward. However, whilst the eye movement system is extremely flexible, the extent to which changes to oculomotor behavior induced by reward paradigms persist beyond the training period or transfer to other ocul...

Altering attentional control settings causes persistent biases of visual attention (2015)
Journal Article
Knight, H., Smith, D., Knight, D., & Ellison, A. (2015). Altering attentional control settings causes persistent biases of visual attention. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 69(1), 129-149. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470218.2015.1031144

Attentional control settings have an important role in guiding visual behaviour. Previous work within cognitive psychology has found that the deployment of general attentional control settings can be modulated by training. However, research has not y...
