Evolution of Neurologic Features in Williams Syndrome (2007)
Journal Article
Gagliardi, C., Martelli, S., Burt, D. M., & Borgatti, R. (2007). Evolution of Neurologic Features in Williams Syndrome. Pediatric Neurology, 36(5), 301-306. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pediatrneurol.2007.01.001

As a part of a large multidisciplinary clinical and research follow-up study, 47 Williams syndrome patients underwent detailed neurologic testing. Because previous studies have documented the absence of major neurologic signs in Williams syndrome, th... Read More about Evolution of Neurologic Features in Williams Syndrome.

The affordances for social psychology of the ecological approach to social knowing. (2007)
Journal Article
Good, J. (2007). The affordances for social psychology of the ecological approach to social knowing. Theory and Psychology, 17(2), 265-295. https://doi.org/10.1177/0959354307075046

This paper examines the engagement of theory with mainstream social psychology in terms of developments in social cognition and perception. The particular focus is the development and reception of the `ecological' or `mutualist' approach to social pe...

The Roles of Locus of Control and Self-Esteem in Hallucination- and Delusion-Proneness in a Non-Clinical Sample (2007)
Journal Article
Jones, S., & Fernyhough, C. (2007). The Roles of Locus of Control and Self-Esteem in Hallucination- and Delusion-Proneness in a Non-Clinical Sample. Personality and Individual Differences, 43(5), 1087-1097. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2007.03.002

Possessing either an external locus of control (LOC) or low self-esteem (SE) has been demonstrated prospectively to predict schizophrenia onset. This may be due to the consequences of these qualities for stress perception and resultant cortisol relea...

The ideas of Vygotsky [Vygotsky, L. S. (1987). Thinking and speech. In The collected works of L. S. Vygotsky, (Vol. 1). New York: Plenum. (Original work published 1934.)] have been increasingly influential in accounting for social–environmental influ...

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...

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...

The probability of causal conditionals (2007)
Journal Article
Over, D., Hadjichristidis, C., Evans, J., Handley, S., & Sloman, S. (2007). The probability of causal conditionals. Cognitive Psychology, 54(1), 62-97. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cogpsych.2006.05.002

Conditionals in natural language are central to reasoning and decision making. A theoretical proposal called the Ramsey test implies the conditional probability hypothesis: that the subjective probability of a natural language conditional, P(if p the...
