Does incongruence of lexicosemantic and prosodic information cause discernible cognitive conflict? (2006)
Journal Article
Mitchell, R. (2006). Does incongruence of lexicosemantic and prosodic information cause discernible cognitive conflict?. Cognitive, Affective, and Behavioral Neuroscience, 6(4), 298-305. https://doi.org/10.3758/cabn.6.4.298

We are often required to interpret discordant emotional signals. Whereas equivalent cognitive paradigms cause noticeable conflict via their behavioral and psychophysiological effects, the same may not necessarily be true for discordant emotions. Skin...

Anterior cingulate activity and level of cognitive conflict: Explicit comparisons (2006)
Journal Article
Mitchell, R. (2006). Anterior cingulate activity and level of cognitive conflict: Explicit comparisons. Behavioral Neuroscience, 120(6), 1395-1401. https://doi.org/10.1037/0735-7044.120.6.1395

The role of anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in attention is a matter of debate. One hypothesis suggests that its role is to monitor response-level conflict, but explicit evidence is somewhat lacking. In this study, the activation of ACC was compared... Read More about Anterior cingulate activity and level of cognitive conflict: Explicit comparisons.

The BOLD response during Stroop task-like inhibition paradigms: Effects of task difficulty and task-relevant modality (2005)
Journal Article
Mitchell, R. (2005). The BOLD response during Stroop task-like inhibition paradigms: Effects of task difficulty and task-relevant modality. Brain and Cognition, 59(1), 23-37. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bandc.2005.04.001

Previous studies of the Stroop task propose two key mediators: the prefrontal and cingulate cortices but hints exist of functional specialization within these regions. This study aimed to examine the effect of task modality upon the prefrontal and ci...

Right hemisphere language functions and schizophrenia: the forgotten hemisphere? (2005)
Journal Article
Mitchell, R., & Crow, T. (2005). Right hemisphere language functions and schizophrenia: the forgotten hemisphere?. Brain, 128(5), 963-978. https://doi.org/10.1093/brain/awh466

This review highlights the importance of right hemisphere language functions for successful social communication and advances the hypothesis that the core deficit in psychosis is a failure of segregation of right from left hemisphere functions. Lesio... Read More about Right hemisphere language functions and schizophrenia: the forgotten hemisphere?.

Neural response to emotional prosody in schizophrenia and in bipolar affective disorder (2004)
Journal Article
Mitchell, R., Elliott, R., Barry, M., Cruttenden, A., & Woodruff, P. (2004). Neural response to emotional prosody in schizophrenia and in bipolar affective disorder. British Journal of Psychiatry, 184(3), 223-230. https://doi.org/10.1192/bjp.184.3.223

BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests a reversal of the normal left-lateralised response to speech in schizophrenia. AIMS: To test the brain's response to emotional prosody in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. METHOD: BOLD contrast functional magnetic reso...

The neural response to emotional prosody, as revealed by functional magnetic resonance imaging (2003)
Journal Article
Mitchell, R., Elliott, R., Barry, M., Cruttenden, A., & Woodruff, P. (2003). The neural response to emotional prosody, as revealed by functional magnetic resonance imaging. Neuropsychologia, 41(10), 1410-1421. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0028-3932%2803%2900017-4

Prosody is an important feature of language, comprising intonation, loudness, and tempo. Emotional prosodic processing forms an integral part of our social interactions. The main aim of this study was to use bold contrast fMRI to clarify the normal f... Read More about The neural response to emotional prosody, as revealed by functional magnetic resonance imaging.

fMRI and cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia (2001)
Journal Article
Mitchell, R., Elliott, R., & Woodruff, P. (2001). fMRI and cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia. Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 5(2), 71-80. https://doi.org/10.1016/s1364-6613%2800%2901599-0

Despite being one of the most prevalent psychiatric conditions, SCHIZOPHRENIA is still poorly understood, with no clear objective biological marker. The advent of neuroimaging has enabled in vivo investigations to complement older techniques, and has... Read More about fMRI and cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia.
