Mothers’ early mind-mindedness predicts educational attainment in socially and economically disadvantaged British children (2018)
Journal Article
Meins, E., Fernyhough, C., & Centifanti, L. (2019). Mothers’ early mind-mindedness predicts educational attainment in socially and economically disadvantaged British children. Child Development, 90(4), e454-e467. https://doi.org/10.1111/cdev.13028

Relations between mothers' mind-mindedness (appropriate and nonattuned mind-related comments) at 8 months (N = 206), and children's educational attainment at ages 7 (n = 158) and 11 (n = 156) were investigated in a British sample. Appropriate mind-re... Read More about Mothers’ early mind-mindedness predicts educational attainment in socially and economically disadvantaged British children.

Preliminary evidence for genetic overlap between body mass index and striatal reward response (2018)
Journal Article
Lancaster, T. M., Ihssen, N., Brindley, L. M., & Linden, D. E. (2018). Preliminary evidence for genetic overlap between body mass index and striatal reward response. Translational Psychiatry, 8, Article 19. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41398-017-0068-4

Jenkins, M., Grubert, A., & Eimer, M. (2018). The speed of voluntary and priority-driven shifts of visual attention. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 44(1), 27-37. https://doi.org/10.1037/xhp0000438

The question how fast spatial attention moves between different visual objects remains debated. We used electrophysiological measures to determine the speed of voluntary and visually guided shifts of attention. Participants shifted attention from a k...
