Differential and co-involvement of areas of the temporal and parietal streams in visual tasks (2009)
Journal Article
Ellison, A., & Cowey, A. (2009). Differential and co-involvement of areas of the temporal and parietal streams in visual tasks. Neuropsychologia, 47(6), 1609-1614. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2008.12.013

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is particularly useful in teasing apart the contrasting contributions of different anatomical and functional systems in particular aspects of behaviour, for example the involvement of the dorsal and ventral vis...

The bi-pedal ape: Plasticity and asymmetry in footedness (2009)
Journal Article
Carey, D., Smith, D., Martin, D., Smith, G., Skriver, J., Rutland, A., & Shepherd, J. (2009). The bi-pedal ape: Plasticity and asymmetry in footedness. Cortex, 45(5), 650-661. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2008.05.011

A strong preference for using the right foot for skilled activities parallels a similar side bias for hand use. However, many neuropsychologists, sports scientists and sports commentators argue that right-foot bias in soccer is reduced or even elimin...

Both egocentric and allocentric cues support spatial priming in visual search (2009)
Journal Article
Ball, K., Smith, D., Ellison, A., & Schenk, T. (2009). Both egocentric and allocentric cues support spatial priming in visual search. Neuropsychologia, 47(6), 1585-1591. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2008.11.017

The perception–action model proposes that vision for perception and vision for action are subserved by two separate cortical systems, the ventral and dorsal streams, respectively [Milner, A. D., & Goodale, M. A. (1995). The visual brain in action (1s... Read More about Both egocentric and allocentric cues support spatial priming in visual search.

Callous-unemotional traits are related to combined deficits in recognizing afraid faces and body poses (2009)
Journal Article
Muñoz, L. (2009). Callous-unemotional traits are related to combined deficits in recognizing afraid faces and body poses. Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 48(5), 554-562. https://doi.org/10.1097/chi.0b013e31819c2419

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to examine accuracy in labeling body poses conveying fear. Youths with callous-unemotional traits experience emotional processing deficits seemingly on par with deficits showed by patients with amygdala da...

Immediate and delayed actions share a common visuomotor transformation mechanism: A prism adaptation study (2009)
Journal Article
Rogers, G., Smith, D., & Schenk, T. (2009). Immediate and delayed actions share a common visuomotor transformation mechanism: A prism adaptation study. Neuropsychologia, 47(6), 1546-1552. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2008.12.022

It is a key assumption of the perception/action model that the dorsal stream relies on current visual input and does not store visual information over an extended period of time. Consequently, it is expected that action which is guided by memorized v... Read More about Immediate and delayed actions share a common visuomotor transformation mechanism: A prism adaptation study.

Young children’s trust in their mothers’ claims: Longitudinal links with attachment security in infancy (2009)
Journal Article
Corriveau, K., Harris, P., Meins, E., Fernyhough, C., Arnott, B., Elliott, L., …De Rosnay, M. (2009). Young children’s trust in their mothers’ claims: Longitudinal links with attachment security in infancy. Child Development, 80(3), 750-761. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-8624.2009.01295.x

In a longitudinal study of attachment, children (N = 147) aged 50 and 61 months heard their mother and a stranger make conflicting claims. In 2 tasks, the available perceptual cues were equally consistent with either person’s claim but children gener...

BOLD signal in intraparietal sulcus covaries with magnitude of implicitly driven attention shifts (2009)
Journal Article
Schultz, J., & Lennert, T. (2009). BOLD signal in intraparietal sulcus covaries with magnitude of implicitly driven attention shifts. NeuroImage, 45(4), 1314-1328. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2009.01.012

A lot is known about the neural basis of directing attention based on explicit cues. In real life however, attention shifts are rarely directed by explicit cues but rather generated implicitly, for example on the basis of previous experience with a g...

Food-associated calling sequences in bonobos. (2009)
Journal Article
Clay, Z., & Zuberbühler, K. (2009). Food-associated calling sequences in bonobos. Animal Behaviour, 77(6), 1387-1396. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2009.02.016

When encountering food, chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes, and some other primates produce specific calls, whose acoustic structure covaries with the caller's food preference. For chimpanzees, there is evidence that listeners use these contingencies to gu... Read More about Food-associated calling sequences in bonobos..

Interactive effects of sex hormones and gender stereotypes on cognitive sex differences – a psychobiosocial approach (2009)
Journal Article
Hausmann, M., Schoofs, D., Rosenthal, H., & Jordan, K. (2009). Interactive effects of sex hormones and gender stereotypes on cognitive sex differences – a psychobiosocial approach. Psychoneuroendocrinology, 34(3), 389-401. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psyneuen.2008.09.019

Biological and social factors have been shown to affect cognitive sex differences. For example, several studies have found that sex hormones have activating effects on sex-sensitive tasks. On the other hand, it has been shown that gender stereotypes... Read More about Interactive effects of sex hormones and gender stereotypes on cognitive sex differences – a psychobiosocial approach.
