Fear, worry, and ritualistic behavior in childhood: Developmental trends and interrelations. (2009)
Journal Article
Laing, S., Fernyhough, C., Turner, M., & Freeston, M. (2009). Fear, worry, and ritualistic behavior in childhood: Developmental trends and interrelations. Infant and Child Development, 18(4), 351-366. https://doi.org/10.1002/icd.627

Previous studies of childhood fear, worry, and ritualistic behaviour have been limited by restricted age ranges, narrow ranges of anxiety phenomena, non-comparable methodologies, and assessment of typical behaviour within a pathological context. Cont... Read More about Fear, worry, and ritualistic behavior in childhood: Developmental trends and interrelations..

Effects of sex hormone therapy on interhemispheric crosstalk in postmenopausal women (2009)
Journal Article
Bayer, U., & Hausmann, M. (2009). Effects of sex hormone therapy on interhemispheric crosstalk in postmenopausal women. Neuropsychology, 23(4), 509-518. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0015436

Evidence exists that fluctuating levels of sex hormones affect interhemispheric interaction in women during the menstrual cycle. The present study investigated whether interhemispheric interaction is susceptible to direct hormonal manipulations via h...

Absence of overshadowing between a landmark and geometric cues in a distinctively shaped environment: A test of Miller and Shettleworth (2007) (2009)
Journal Article
McGregor, A., Horne, M., Esber, G., & Pearce, J. (2009). Absence of overshadowing between a landmark and geometric cues in a distinctively shaped environment: A test of Miller and Shettleworth (2007). Journal of experimental psychology. Animal behavior processes, 35(3), 357-370. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0014536

Rats in the first 2 experiments, which were designed to test predictions from a model of spatial learning by N. Y. Miller and S. J. Shettleworth (2007), had to escape from a triangular pool by swimming to a submerged platform in a geometrically uniqu...

Is the origin of the hemianopic line bisection error purely visual? Evidence from eye movements in simulated hemianopia (2009)
Journal Article
Schuett, S., Kentridge, R., Zihl, J., & Heywood, C. (2009). Is the origin of the hemianopic line bisection error purely visual? Evidence from eye movements in simulated hemianopia. Vision Research, 49(13), 1668-1680. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.visres.2009.04.004

It is still unclear whether the contralateral line bisection error in unilateral homonymous hemianopia is caused by the visual field defect, strategic oculomotor adaptation or by additional extrastriate brain injury. We therefore simulated hemianopia... Read More about Is the origin of the hemianopic line bisection error purely visual? Evidence from eye movements in simulated hemianopia.

Adaptation of eye movements to simulated hemianopia in reading and visual exploration: Transfer or specificity? (2009)
Journal Article
Schuett, S., Kentridge, R., Zihl, J., & Heywood, C. (2009). Adaptation of eye movements to simulated hemianopia in reading and visual exploration: Transfer or specificity?. Neuropsychologia, 47(7), 1712-1720. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2009.02.010

Reading and visual exploration impairments in unilateral homonymous hemianopia are well-established clinical phenomena. Spontaneous adaptation of eye-movements to the visual field defect leads to improved reading and visual exploration performance. Y...

Language and theory of mind in autism spectrum disorder: The relationship between complement syntax and false belief task performance (2009)
Journal Article
Bowler, L. S., & M., D. (2009). Language and theory of mind in autism spectrum disorder: The relationship between complement syntax and false belief task performance. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 39(6), 929-937. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10803-009-0702-y

This study aimed to test the hypothesis that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) use their knowledge of complement syntax as a means of “hacking out” solutions to false belief tasks, despite lacking a representational theory of mind (ToM). P... Read More about Language and theory of mind in autism spectrum disorder: The relationship between complement syntax and false belief task performance.

"What did I say?" versus "What did I think?" Attributing false beliefs to self amongst children with and without autism (2009)
Journal Article
Williams, D., & Happe, F. (2009). "What did I say?" versus "What did I think?" Attributing false beliefs to self amongst children with and without autism. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 39(6), 865-873. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10803-009-0695-6

The task used most widely to assess recognition of false belief in self and others is the 'Smarties' unexpected contents task. Amongst individuals with and without autism, the Self and Other-person test questions of this task are of an equivalent lev... Read More about "What did I say?" versus "What did I think?"

Enhanced long-term and impaired short-term spatial memory in GluA1 AMPA receptor subunit knockout mice: Evidence for a dual-process memory model (2009)
Journal Article
Sanderson, D. J., Good, M. A., Skelton, K., Sprengel, R., Seeburg, P. H., Rawlins, J. N. P., & Bannerman, D. M. (2009). Enhanced long-term and impaired short-term spatial memory in GluA1 AMPA receptor subunit knockout mice: Evidence for a dual-process memory model. Learning & Memory, 16(6), 379-386. https://doi.org/10.1101/lm.1339109

The GluA1 AMPA receptor subunit is a key mediator of hippocampal synaptic plasticity and is especially important for a rapidly-induced, short-lasting form of potentiation. GluA1 gene deletion impairs hippocampus-dependent, spatial working memory, but...

Separate processing of texture and form in the ventral stream: evidence from fMRI and visual agnosia (2009)
Journal Article
Cavina-Pratesi, C., Kentridge, R., Heywood, C., & Milner, A. (2010). Separate processing of texture and form in the ventral stream: evidence from fMRI and visual agnosia. Cerebral Cortex, 20(2), 433-446. https://doi.org/10.1093/cercor/bhp111

Real-life visual object recognition requires the processing of more than just geometric (shape, size, and orientation) properties. Surface properties such as color and texture are equally important, particularly for providing information about the ma...
