Age-related decline in the ability to decode emotional prosody: Primary or secondary phenomenon? (2007)
Journal Article
Mitchell, R. (2007). Age-related decline in the ability to decode emotional prosody: Primary or secondary phenomenon?. Cognition and Emotion, 21(7), 1435-1454. https://doi.org/10.1080/02699930601133994

Emotion processing deficits can cause catastrophic damage to a person's ability to interact socially. While it is known that older adults have difficulty identifying facial emotions, it is still not clear whether this difficulty extends to identifica...

Partner characteristics associated with masculinity, health and maturity in male faces (2007)
Journal Article
Boothroyd, L., Jones, B., Burt, D., & Perrett, D. (2007). Partner characteristics associated with masculinity, health and maturity in male faces. Personality and Individual Differences, 43(5), 1161-1173. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2007.03.008

This research investigated the partner characteristics that are attributed to male facial masculinity, and how these characteristics compare to those attributed to increased age or health in faces. We found that masculinity is perceived as reflecting... Read More about Partner characteristics associated with masculinity, health and maturity in male faces.

Can a laboratory measure of emotional processing enhance the statistical prediction of aggression and delinquency in detained adolescents with callous-unemotional traits? (2007)
Journal Article
Kimonis, E. R., Frick, P. J., Muñoz, L. C., & Aucoin, K. J. (2007). Can a laboratory measure of emotional processing enhance the statistical prediction of aggression and delinquency in detained adolescents with callous-unemotional traits?. Journal of abnormal child psychology (Dordrecht. Online), 35(5), 773-785. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10802-007-9136-1

In this cross-sectional study, we investigated whether the combination of the presence of callous-unemotional (CU) traits and emotional deficits to distressing stimuli, assessed by a computerized dot-probe task, enhanced the statistical prediction of...

How many processes underlie category-based induction? Effects of conclusion specificity and cognitive ability (2007)
Journal Article
Feeney, A. (2007). How many processes underlie category-based induction? Effects of conclusion specificity and cognitive ability. Memory and Cognition, 35(7), 1830-1839

Two studies investigated participants' sensitivity to the amount and diversity of the evidence when reasoning inductively about categories. Both showed that participants are more sensitive to characteristics of the evidence for arguments with general... Read More about How many processes underlie category-based induction? Effects of conclusion specificity and cognitive ability.

Causal inference in multisensory perception (2007)
Journal Article
Körding, K., Beierholm, U., Ma, W., Quartz, S., Tenenbaum, J., & Shams, L. (2007). Causal inference in multisensory perception. PLoS ONE, 2(9), Article e943. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0000943

Perceptual events derive their significance to an animal from their meaning about the world, that is from the information they carry about their causes. The brain should thus be able to efficiently infer the causes underlying our sensory events. Here... Read More about Causal inference in multisensory perception.

Types of aggression, responsiveness to provocation and callous-unemotional traits in detained adolescents (2007)
Journal Article
Muñoz, L. C., Frick, P. J., Kimonis, E. R., & Aucoin, K. J. (2008). Types of aggression, responsiveness to provocation and callous-unemotional traits in detained adolescents. Journal of abnormal child psychology (Dordrecht. Online), 36(1), 15-28. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10802-007-9137-0

The present study investigated differences in the behavioral and psychophysiological responses to provocation and in the level of callous-unemotional traits in boys exhibiting different patterns of aggression. Eighty-five boys (ages 13–18) in a juven... Read More about Types of aggression, responsiveness to provocation and callous-unemotional traits in detained adolescents.

Choking under pressure: When an additional positive stereotype affects performance for domain identified male mathematics students (2007)
Journal Article
Rosenthal, H., & Crisp, R. (2007). Choking under pressure: When an additional positive stereotype affects performance for domain identified male mathematics students. European Journal of Psychology of Education, 22(3), 317-326. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf03173429

This research aimed to establish if the presentation of two positive stereotypes would result in choking under pressure for identified male mathematics students. Seventy-five 16 year old men, who had just commenced their AS-level study, were either m...

A meta-analysis of the effects of presenting treatment benefits in different formats (2007)
Journal Article
Covey, J. (2007). A meta-analysis of the effects of presenting treatment benefits in different formats. Medical Decision Making, 27(5), 638-654. https://doi.org/10.1177/0272989x07306783

Purpose. The purpose of this article is to examine the effects of presenting treatment benefits in different formats on the decisions of both patients and health professionals. Three formats were investigated: relative risk reductions, absolute risk... Read More about A meta-analysis of the effects of presenting treatment benefits in different formats.

Sex differences in cortical and subcortical recruitment during simple and complex motor control: An fMRI study (2007)
Journal Article
Lissek, S., Hausmann, M., Knossalla, F., Peters, S., Nicolas, V., Güntürkün, O., & Tegenthoff, M. (2007). Sex differences in cortical and subcortical recruitment during simple and complex motor control: An fMRI study. NeuroImage, 37(3), 912-926. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2007.05.037

In this study we compared brain activation patterns in men and women during performance of a fine motor task, in order to investigate the influence of motor task complexity upon asymmetries of hemispheric recruitment. Thirty-three right-handed partic... Read More about Sex differences in cortical and subcortical recruitment during simple and complex motor control: An fMRI study.
