Relations between premise similarity and inductive strength (2005)
Journal Article
Heit, E., & Feeney, A. (2005). Relations between premise similarity and inductive strength. Psychonomic Bulletin and Review, 12(2), 340-344

According to the diversity principle, diverse evidence is strong evidence. There has been considerable evidence that people respect this principle in inductive reasoning. However, exceptions may be particularly informative. Medin, Coley, Storms, and... Read More about Relations between premise similarity and inductive strength.

Dissociable effects of lesions to the perirhinal cortex and the postrhinal cortex on memory for context and objects in rats (2005)
Journal Article
Norman, G., & Eacott, M. (2005). Dissociable effects of lesions to the perirhinal cortex and the postrhinal cortex on memory for context and objects in rats. Behavioral Neuroscience, 119(2), 557-566. https://doi.org/10.1037/0735-7044.119.2.557

Memory for the context in which an object appeared was investigated with a version of the spontaneous object recognition paradigm. Sham-operated rats explore familiar objects appearing in incongruent but familiar contexts more than those appearing in...

Object onset and parvocellular guidance of attentional allocation (2005)
Journal Article
Cole, G., Kentridge, R., & Heywood, C. (2005). Object onset and parvocellular guidance of attentional allocation. Psychological Science, 16(4), 270-274. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.0956-7976.2005.01527.x

The parvocellular visual pathway in the primate brain is known to be involved with the processing of color. However, a subject of debate is whether an abrupt change in color, conveyed via this pathway, is capable of automatically attracting attention...

Saccade-contingent spatial and temporal errors are absent for saccadic head movements (2005)
Journal Article
Jackson, S., Newport, R., Osborne, F., Wakely, R., Smith, D., & Walsh, V. (2005). Saccade-contingent spatial and temporal errors are absent for saccadic head movements. Cortex, 41(2), 205-212. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0010-9452%2808%2970895-5

Psychophysical studies extending over a thirty-year period have repeatedly demonstrated that visual stimuli presented close to the onset of a saccadic eye movement are mislocalised both spatially and temporally. When post-saccadic visual references a... Read More about Saccade-contingent spatial and temporal errors are absent for saccadic head movements.

Covert attention and saccadic eye movements (2005)
Book Chapter
Findlay, J. (2005). Covert attention and saccadic eye movements. In L. Itti, G. Rees, & J. Tsotsos (Eds.), Neurobiology of attention (114-117). Elsevier Academic Press

In normal vision the eyes make overt saccadic eye movements several times each second. We have a good understanding of how saccadic targets are selected, particularly in visual search and in reading. Visual processing is enhanced at the saccade desti... Read More about Covert attention and saccadic eye movements.

Stimulus similarity decrements in children's working memory span (2005)
Journal Article
Conlin, J., Gathercole, S., & Adams, J. (2005). Stimulus similarity decrements in children's working memory span. Quarterly journal of experimental psychology. A, 58(8), 1434-1446. https://doi.org/10.1080/02724980443000683

Two experiments investigated the impact of the relationship between processing and storage stimuli on the working memory span task performance of children aged 7 and 9 years of age. In Experiment 1, two types of span task were administered (sentence... Read More about Stimulus similarity decrements in children's working memory span.

Menstrual cycle, pregnancy and oral contraceptive use alter attraction to apparent health in faces (2005)
Journal Article
Jones, B., Perrett, D., Little, A., Boothroyd, L., Cornwell, R., Feinberg, D., …Moore, F. (2005). Menstrual cycle, pregnancy and oral contraceptive use alter attraction to apparent health in faces. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 272(1561), 347-354. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2004.2962

Previous studies demonstrating changes in women's face preferences have emphasized increased attraction to cues to possible indirect benefits (e.g. heritable immunity to infection) that coincides with periods of high fertility (e.g. the late follicul...

Private speech on an executive task: Relations with task difficulty and task performance (2005)
Journal Article
Fernyhough, C., & Fradley, E. (2005). Private speech on an executive task: Relations with task difficulty and task performance. Cognitive Development, 20(1), 103-120. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cogdev.2004.11.002

Measures of private speech and task performance were obtained for a sample of 46 5- and 6-year-olds engaged on a mechanical version of the Tower of London (ToL) task. Two different sets of four puzzles of increasing difficulty were attempted on two o... Read More about Private speech on an executive task: Relations with task difficulty and task performance.

Hemispheric asymmetry in spatial attention across the menstrual cycle (2005)
Journal Article
Hausmann, M. (2005). Hemispheric asymmetry in spatial attention across the menstrual cycle. Neuropsychologia, 43(11), 1559-1567. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2005.01.017

Functional cerebral asymmetries (FCAs) are known to fluctuate across the menstrual cycle. The mechanisms of these sex hormonal modulations are poorly understood. It has been suggested that gonadal steroid hormones might suppress or specifically activ... Read More about Hemispheric asymmetry in spatial attention across the menstrual cycle.
