People's ability to detect objects using click-based echolocation: A direct comparison between mouth-clicks and clicks made by a loudspeaker (2016)
Journal Article
Thaler, L., & Castillo-Serrano, J. (2016). People's ability to detect objects using click-based echolocation: A direct comparison between mouth-clicks and clicks made by a loudspeaker. PLoS ONE, 11(5), Article e0154868. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0154868

Echolocation is the ability to use reflected sound to obtain information about the spatial environment. Echolocation is an active process that requires both the production of the emission as well as the sensory processing of the resultant sound. Appr...

Observing others stay or switch - How social prediction errors are integrated into reward reversal learning (2016)
Journal Article
Ihssen, N., Mussweiler, T., & Linden, D. (2016). Observing others stay or switch - How social prediction errors are integrated into reward reversal learning. Cognition, 153, 19-32. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2016.04.012

Reward properties of stimuli can undergo sudden changes, and the detection of these ‘reversals’ is often made difficult by the probabilistic nature of rewards/punishments. Here we tested whether and how humans use social information (someone else’s c...

Parent insights into atypicalities of social approach behaviour in Williams syndrome (2016)
Journal Article
Lough, E., Rodgers, J., Janes, E., Little, K., & Riby, D. (2016). Parent insights into atypicalities of social approach behaviour in Williams syndrome. Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 60(11), 1097-1108. https://doi.org/10.1111/jir.12279

Background Individuals with Williams syndrome have been reported to show high levels of social interest and a desire to interact with others irrespective of their familiarity. This high social motivation, when combined with reduced intellectual capac... Read More about Parent insights into atypicalities of social approach behaviour in Williams syndrome.

Fast and Accurate Learning When Making Discrete Numerical Estimates (2016)
Journal Article
Sanborn, A., & Beierholm, U. (2016). Fast and Accurate Learning When Making Discrete Numerical Estimates. PLoS Computational Biology, 12(4), Article e1004859. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1004859

Many everyday estimation tasks have an inherently discrete nature, whether the task is counting objects (e.g., a number of paint buckets) or estimating discretized continuous variables (e.g., the number of paint buckets needed to paint a room). While... Read More about Fast and Accurate Learning When Making Discrete Numerical Estimates.

Dissociations in coherence sensitivity reveal atypical development of cortical visual processing in congenital achromatopsia (2016)
Journal Article
Burton, E., Wattam-Bell, J., Rubin, G., Aboshiha, J., Michaelides, M., Atkinson, J., …Nardini, M. (2016). Dissociations in coherence sensitivity reveal atypical development of cortical visual processing in congenital achromatopsia. Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, 57(4), 2251-2259. https://doi.org/10.1167/iovs.15-18414

Purpose: While basic visual functions have been described in subjects with congenital achromatopsia (ACHM), little is known about their mid- or high-level cortical visual processing. We compared midlevel cortical visual processing in ACHM subjects (n...

fMRI neurofeedback of higher visual areas and perceptual biases (2016)
Journal Article
Habes, I., Rushton, S., Johnston, S., Sokunbi, M., Barawi, K., Brosnan, M., …Linden, D. (2016). fMRI neurofeedback of higher visual areas and perceptual biases. Neuropsychologia, 85, 208-215. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2016.03.031

The self-regulation of brain activation via neurofeedback training offers a method to study the relationship between brain areas and perception in a more direct manner than the conventional mapping of brain responses to different types of stimuli. Th... Read More about fMRI neurofeedback of higher visual areas and perceptual biases.

Adolescents as perpetrators of aggression within the family (2016)
Journal Article
Kuay, H., Lee, S., Centifanti, L., Parnis, A., Mrozik, J., & Tiffin, P. (2016). Adolescents as perpetrators of aggression within the family. International Journal of Law and Psychiatry, 47, 60-67. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijlp.2016.02.035

Although family violence perpetrated by juveniles has been acknowledged as a potentially serious form of violence for over 30 years, scientific studies have been limited to examining the incidence and form of home violence. The present study examined... Read More about Adolescents as perpetrators of aggression within the family.

The Impact of Parenthood on Physical Aggression: Evidence from criminal data (2016)
Journal Article
Boothroyd, L., & Cross, C. (2016). The Impact of Parenthood on Physical Aggression: Evidence from criminal data. Aggressive Behavior, 42(6), 577-584. https://doi.org/10.1002/ab.21652

Evolutionary approaches to sex differences in physical aggression weigh the potential benefits of aggression against the likely costs to inclusive fitness, with some authors focusing on the damage physical injury would do to female inclusive fitness,...

Attentional guidance by relative features: Behavioral and electrophysiological evidence (2016)
Journal Article
Schönhammer, J., Grubert, A., Kerzel, D., & Becker, S. (2016). Attentional guidance by relative features: Behavioral and electrophysiological evidence. Psychophysiology, 53(7), 1074-1083. https://doi.org/10.1111/psyp.12645

Our ability to select task-relevant information from cluttered visual environments is widely believed to be due to our ability to tune attention to the particular elementary feature values of a sought-after target (e.g., red, orange, yellow). By cont... Read More about Attentional guidance by relative features: Behavioral and electrophysiological evidence.
