The neuropsychology of face perception: Beyond simple dissociations and functional selectivity (2011)
Journal Article
Atkinson, A., & Adolphs, R. (2011). The neuropsychology of face perception: Beyond simple dissociations and functional selectivity. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 366(1571), 1726-1738. https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2010.0349

Face processing relies on a distributed, patchy network of cortical regions in the temporal and frontal lobes that respond disproportionately to face stimuli, other cortical regions that are not even primarily visual (such as somatosensory cortex), a...

Type and token bigram frequencies for two-through nine-letter words and the prediction of anagram difficulty (2011)
Journal Article
Knight, D., & Muncer, S. (2011). Type and token bigram frequencies for two-through nine-letter words and the prediction of anagram difficulty. Behavior Research Methods, 43(2), 491-498. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13428-011-0068-x

Recent research on anagram solution has produced two original findings. First, it has shown that a new bigram frequency measure called top rank, which is based on a comparison of summed bigram frequencies, is an important predictor of anagram difficu...

The Specificity of Age-Related Decline in Interpretation of Emotion Cues From Prosody (2011)
Journal Article
Mitchell, R., Kingston, R., & Boucas, S. (2011). The Specificity of Age-Related Decline in Interpretation of Emotion Cues From Prosody. Psychology and Aging, 26(2), 406-414. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0021861

Older adults are not as good as younger adults at decoding prosodic emotions. We sought to determine the specificity of this finding. Performance of older and younger adults was compared on a prosodic emotion task, a “pure” prosodic emotion task, a l...

Neural correlates of natural human echolocation in early and late blind echolocation experts (2011)
Journal Article
Thaler, L., Arnott, S., & Goodale, M. (2011). Neural correlates of natural human echolocation in early and late blind echolocation experts. PLoS ONE, 6(5), Article e20162. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0020162

Background: A small number of blind people are adept at echolocating silent objects simply by producing mouth clicks and listening to the returning echoes. Yet the neural architecture underlying this type of aid-free human echolocation has not been i...

Downplaying a compromised social image: The effect of metastereotype valence on social identification (2011)
Journal Article
Owuamalam, C. K., & Zagefka, H. (2011). Downplaying a compromised social image: The effect of metastereotype valence on social identification. European Journal of Social Psychology, 41(4), 528-537. https://doi.org/10.1002/ejsp.805

This research examined the prediction that group members' levels of identification with the in-group would be influenced by the valence of salient metastereotypes. Specifically, we expected those group members who activate negative metastereotypes to...

Self-knowledge in childhood: Relations with children’s imaginary companions and understanding of mind (2011)
Journal Article
Davis, P., Meins, E., & Fernyhough, C. (2011). Self-knowledge in childhood: Relations with children’s imaginary companions and understanding of mind. British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 29(3), 680-686. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.2044-835x.2011.02038.x

Relations between interior self-knowledge and (a) imaginary companion (IC) status, and (b) theory of mind abilities were investigated in a sample (N=80) of 4- to 7-year-olds. Interior self-knowledge was assessed in terms of the extent to which childr... Read More about Self-knowledge in childhood: Relations with children’s imaginary companions and understanding of mind.

Congenital Prosopagnosia: Multistage Anatomical and Functional Deficits in Face Processing Circuitry (2011)
Journal Article
Dinkelacker, V., Grüter, M., Klaver, P., Grüter, T., Specht, K., Weis, S., …Fernandez, G. (2011). Congenital Prosopagnosia: Multistage Anatomical and Functional Deficits in Face Processing Circuitry. Journal of Neurology, 258(5), 770-782. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00415-010-5828-5

Face recognition is a primary social skill which depends on a distributed neural network. A pronounced face recognition deficit in the absence of any lesion is seen in congenital prosopagnosia. This study investigating 24 congenital prosopagnosic sub... Read More about Congenital Prosopagnosia: Multistage Anatomical and Functional Deficits in Face Processing Circuitry.
