The peer relationships of youths with psychopathic traits: A matter of perspective (2008)
Journal Article
Muñoz, L., Kerr, M., & Besic, N. (2008). The peer relationships of youths with psychopathic traits: A matter of perspective. Criminal Justice and Behavior, 35(2), 212-227. https://doi.org/10.1177/0093854807310159

A message in the medium? Assessing the reliability of psychopathology e-questionnaires. (2008)
Journal Article
Jones, S., Fernyhough, C., de-Wit, L., & Meins, E. (2008). A message in the medium? Assessing the reliability of psychopathology e-questionnaires. Personality and Individual Differences, 44(2), 349-359. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2007.08.014

Internet-based questionnaires (e-questionnaires) have become widely used in psychopathology research, but there is currently little evidence on their reliability as compared with pen-and-paper equivalents. Data from separate samples of young adults c... Read More about A message in the medium? Assessing the reliability of psychopathology e-questionnaires..

Delay abolishes the obstacle avoidance deficit in unilateral optic ataxia (2008)
Journal Article
Rice, N., Edwards, M., Schindler, I., Punt, T., McIntosh, R., Humphreys, G., …Milner, A. (2008). Delay abolishes the obstacle avoidance deficit in unilateral optic ataxia. Neuropsychologia, 46(5), 1549-1557. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2008.01.012

Optic ataxic patients have deficits in the visual control of manual reaching and grasping. It has been established previously that these deficits in target-directed behaviour improve following a delay in response. Recently it has been demonstrated th...

The loss of the PDE6 deactivating enzyme, RGS9, results in precocious light adaptation at low light levels (2008)
Journal Article
Stockman, A., Smithson, H., Webster, A., Holder, G., Rana, N., Ripamonti, C., & Sharpe, L. (2008). The loss of the PDE6 deactivating enzyme, RGS9, results in precocious light adaptation at low light levels. Journal of Vision, 8(1), https://doi.org/10.1167/8.1.10

The GTPase activating protein, RGS9-1, is vital for the deactivation and regulation of the phototransduction cascade (C. K. Chen et al., 2000; C. W. Cowan, R. N. Fariss, I. Sokal, K. Palczewski, & T. G. Wensel, 1998; W. He, C. W. Cowan, & T. G. Wense... Read More about The loss of the PDE6 deactivating enzyme, RGS9, results in precocious light adaptation at low light levels.

The relationship between visuo-spatial sketchpad capacity and children’s mathematical skills (2008)
Journal Article
Holmes, J., Adams, J., & Hamilton, C. (2008). The relationship between visuo-spatial sketchpad capacity and children’s mathematical skills. European journal of cognitive psychology, 20(2), 272-289. https://doi.org/10.1080/09541440701612702

This study examined the association between visuo-spatial sketchpad (VSSP) capacity and children’s mathematics attainment. The aim of the study was to explore age-related differences in the relationship between the visual and spatial memory subcompon...

The curious incident of the photo that was accused of being false: Issues of domain specificity in development, autism, and brain imaging (2008)
Journal Article

We resume an exchange of ideas with Uta Frith that started before the turn of the century. The curious incident responsible for this exchange was the finding that children with autism fail tests of false belief, while they pass Zaitchik's (1990) phot...

Types of aggression, responsiveness to provocation and callous-unemotional traits in detained adolescents (2008)
Journal Article
Muñoz, L., Frick, P., Kimonis, E., & Aucoin, K. (2008). Types of aggression, responsiveness to provocation and callous-unemotional traits in detained adolescents. Journal of abnormal child psychology (Dordrecht. Online), 36(1), 15-28. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10802-007-9137-0

The present study investigated differences in the behavioral and psychophysiological responses to provocation and in the level of callous-unemotional traits in boys exhibiting different patterns of aggression. Eighty-five boys (ages 13–18) in a juven... Read More about Types of aggression, responsiveness to provocation and callous-unemotional traits in detained adolescents.
