Reflexive attention attenuates change blindness (but only briefly) (2008)
Journal Article
Smith, D., & Schenk, T. (2008). Reflexive attention attenuates change blindness (but only briefly). Perception & psychophysics, 70(3), 489-495. https://doi.org/10.3758/pp.70.3.489

Humans are remarkably insensitive to large changes in a visual display if the change occurs simultaneously with a secondary perceptual event. A widely held view is that this change blindness occurs because the secondary perceptual event prevents the... Read More about Reflexive attention attenuates change blindness (but only briefly).

Addition of fornix transection to frontal-temporal disconnection increases the impairment in object-in-place memory in macaque monkeys (2008)
Journal Article
Wilson, C., Baxter, M., Easton, A., & Gaffan, D. (2008). Addition of fornix transection to frontal-temporal disconnection increases the impairment in object-in-place memory in macaque monkeys. European Journal of Neuroscience, 27(7), 1814-1822. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1460-9568.2008.06140.x

Both frontal-inferotemporal disconnection and fornix transection (Fx) in the monkey impair object-in-place scene learning, a model of human episodic memory. If the contribution of the fornix to scene learning is via interaction with or modulation of...

Rapid detection of person information in a naturalistic scene (2008)
Journal Article
Fletcher-Watson, S., Findlay, J., Leekam, S., & Benson, V. (2008). Rapid detection of person information in a naturalistic scene. Perception, 37(4), 571-583. https://doi.org/10.1068/p5705

A preferential-looking paradigm was used to investigate how gaze is distributed in naturalistic scenes. Two scenes were presented side by side: one contained a single person (person-present) and one did not (person-absent). Eye movements were recorde...

Verbal ability and delinquency: Testing the moderating role of psychopathic traits (2008)
Journal Article
Muñoz, L., Frick, P., Kimonis, E., & Aucoin, K. (2008). Verbal ability and delinquency: Testing the moderating role of psychopathic traits. Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 49(4), 414-421. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7610.2007.01847.x

Background:  Impaired verbal abilities are one of the most consistent risk factors for serious antisocial and delinquent behavior. However, individuals with psychopathic traits often show serious antisocial behavior, despite showing no impairment in...

Environmental novelty is signaled by reduction of the hippocampal theta frequency (2008)
Journal Article
Jeewajee, A., Lever, C., Burton, S., O’Keefe, J., & Burgess, N. (2008). Environmental novelty is signaled by reduction of the hippocampal theta frequency. Hippocampus, 18(4), 340-348. https://doi.org/10.1002/hipo.20394

The hippocampal formation (HF) plays a key role in novelty detection, but the mechanisms remain unknown. Novelty detection aids the encoding of new information into memory—a process thought to depend on the HF and to be modulated by the theta rhythm...

Attachment dimensions and schizotypy in a non-clinical sample. (2008)
Journal Article
Meins, E., Jones, S., Fernyhough, C., Hurndall, S., & Koronis, P. (2008). Attachment dimensions and schizotypy in a non-clinical sample. Personality and Individual Differences, 44(4), 1000-1011. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2007.10.026

Attachment has been proposed to relate to adult psychopathology, although strong evidence for this relation has not been documented. This study investigated peer attachment and parental bonding in relation to schizotypy in healthy adults (N = 154). P...

Clinical treatment options for patients with homonymous visual field defects (2008)
Journal Article
Lane, A., Smith, D., & Schenk, T. (2008). Clinical treatment options for patients with homonymous visual field defects. Clinical Ophthalmology, 2(1), 93-102. https://doi.org/10.2147/opth.s2371

The objective of this review is to evaluate treatments for homonymous visual field defects (HVFDs). We distinguish between three treatments: visual restoration training (VRT), optical aids, and compensatory training. VRT is both the most ambitious an...

The evolutionary origins of functional cerebral asymmetries in humans: Does lateralization enhance parallel processing? (2008)
Journal Article
Hirnstein, M., Hausmann, M., & Güntürkün, O. (2008). The evolutionary origins of functional cerebral asymmetries in humans: Does lateralization enhance parallel processing?. Behavioural Brain Research, 187(2), 297-303. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2007.09.023

Functional cerebral asymmetries (FCAs) are a fundamental principle of brain organization in many species. However, little is known about why they have evolved. Since FCAs are such a widespread phenomenon they seem to constitute an evolutionary select...

Visual control of action in step descent (2008)
Journal Article
Cowie, D., Braddick, O., & Atkinson, J. (2008). Visual control of action in step descent. Experimental Brain Research, 186(2), 343-348. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-008-1320-1

Visual guidance of forwards, sideways, and upwards stepping has been investigated, but there is little knowledge about the visuomotor processes underlying stepping down actions. In this study we investigated the visual control of a single vertical st... Read More about Visual control of action in step descent.
