Metacognition may be more impaired than mindreading in autism (2009)
Journal Article
Williams, D., Lind, S., & Happé, F. (2009). Metacognition may be more impaired than mindreading in autism. Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 32(2), 162-163. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0140525x09000818

This commentary focuses on evidence from autism concerning the relation between metacognition and mindreading. We support Carruthers' rejection of models 1 (independent systems) and 3 (metacognition before mindreading), and provide evidence to streng...

Delayed self-recognition in children with autism spectrum disorder (2009)
Journal Article
Bowler, L. S., & M., D. (2009). Delayed self-recognition in children with autism spectrum disorder. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 39(4), 643-650. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10803-008-0670-7

This study aimed to investigate temporally extended self-awareness (awareness of one’s place in and continued existence through time) in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), using the delayed self-recognition (DSR) paradigm (Povinelli et al., Child Develo...

The phenomenology of inner speech: Comparison of schizophrenia patients with auditory verbal hallucinations and healthy controls (2009)
Journal Article
Langdon, R., Jones, S., Connaughton, E., & Fernyhough, C. (2009). The phenomenology of inner speech: Comparison of schizophrenia patients with auditory verbal hallucinations and healthy controls. Psychological Medicine, 39(4), 655-663. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0033291708003978

Background Despite the popularity of inner-speech theories of auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs), little is known about the phenomenological qualities of inner speech in patients with schizophrenia who experience AVHs (Sz-AVHs), or how this compar...

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over frontal eye fields disrupts visually cued auditory attention (2009)
Journal Article
Smith, D., Jackson, S., & Rorden, C. (2009). Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over frontal eye fields disrupts visually cued auditory attention. Brain Stimulation, 2(2), 81-87. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.brs.2008.07.005

Voluntary eye movements and covert shifts of visual attention activate the same brain regions. Specifically, the intra parietal sulcus and the frontal eye fields (FEF) appear to be involved both with generating voluntary saccades as well with attendi...

Interactive effects of sex hormones and gender stereotypes on cognitive sex differences – a psychobiosocial approach (2009)
Journal Article
Hausmann, M., Schoofs, D., Rosenthal, H., & Jordan, K. (2009). Interactive effects of sex hormones and gender stereotypes on cognitive sex differences – a psychobiosocial approach. Psychoneuroendocrinology, 34(3), 389-401. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psyneuen.2008.09.019

Biological and social factors have been shown to affect cognitive sex differences. For example, several studies have found that sex hormones have activating effects on sex-sensitive tasks. On the other hand, it has been shown that gender stereotypes... Read More about Interactive effects of sex hormones and gender stereotypes on cognitive sex differences – a psychobiosocial approach.

Caffeine, stress, and proneness to psychosis-like experiences: a preliminary investigation. (2009)
Journal Article
Jones, S., & Fernyhough, C. (2009). Caffeine, stress, and proneness to psychosis-like experiences: a preliminary investigation. Personality and Individual Differences, 46(4), 562-564. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2008.10.032

In diathesis–stress models of psychosis, cortisol released in response to stressors is proposed to play a role in the development of psychotic experiences. Individual differences in cortisol response to stressors are therefore likely to play a role i...

Perception of stationary and moving sound following unilateral cortectomy (2009)
Journal Article
Lewald, J., Peters, S., Corballis, M., & Hausmann, M. (2009). Perception of stationary and moving sound following unilateral cortectomy. Neuropsychologia, 47(4), 962-971. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2008.10.016

The perception of motion is an essential prerequisite to responding adequately to the dynamic aspects of sensory information in the environment. The neural substrates of auditory motion processing are, at present, still a matter of debate. It has bee...

Testing immuncompetence explanations of male facial masculinity (2009)
Journal Article
Boothroyd, L. G., Lawson, J. F., & Burt, D. M. (2009). Testing immuncompetence explanations of male facial masculinity. Journal of cultural and evolutionary psychology, 7(1), 65-81. https://doi.org/10.1556/jep.7.2009.1.7

Currently the Immunocompetence Hypothesis dominates research into female attraction to male facial masculinity. Although studies have shown links between masculinity and possible indicators of health such as fluctuating asymmetry, preferences for fac...
