Vision: Non-illusory Evidence for Distinct Visual Pathways for Perception and Action (2018)
Journal Article
Kentridge, R. (2018). Vision: Non-illusory Evidence for Distinct Visual Pathways for Perception and Action. Current Biology, 28(6), R264-R266. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2018.02.016

When visual information about an object’s distance is obscured, but its retinal size visible, the object’s physical size is ambiguous to vision; however, additional proprioceptive distance information permits physical size to be estimated when graspi...

Emotional prosody processing in epilepsy: Some insights on brain reorganization (2018)
Journal Article
Alba-Ferrara, L., Kochen, S., & Hausmann, M. (2018). Emotional prosody processing in epilepsy: Some insights on brain reorganization. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 12, Article 92. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2018.00092

Drug resistant epilepsy is one of the most complex, multifactorial and polygenic neurological syndrome. Besides its dynamicity and variability, it still provides us with a model to study brain-behavior relationship, giving cues on the anatomy and fun...

The effect of offset cues on saccade programming and covert attention (2018)
Journal Article
Smith, D., & Casteau, S. (2019). The effect of offset cues on saccade programming and covert attention. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 72(3), 481-490. https://doi.org/10.1177/1747021818759468

Salient peripheral events trigger fast, “exogenous” covert orienting. The influential premotor theory of attention argues that covert orienting of attention depends upon planned but unexecuted eye-movements. One problem with this theory is that salie...

Mental State Attributions Mediate the Gaze Cueing Effect (2018)
Journal Article
Morgan, E. J., Freeth, M., & Smith, D. T. (2018). Mental State Attributions Mediate the Gaze Cueing Effect. Vision, 2(1), Article 11. https://doi.org/10.3390/vision2010011

Understanding the mental states of our social partners allows us to successfully interact with the world around us. Mental state attributions are argued to underpin social attention, and have been shown to modulate attentional orienting to social cue...

Giving in when feeling less good: Procrastination, action control, and social temptations (2018)
Journal Article
Sirois, F. M., & Giguère, B. (2018). Giving in when feeling less good: Procrastination, action control, and social temptations. British Journal of Social Psychology, 57(2), https://doi.org/10.1111/bjso.12243

Emotion-regulation perspectives on procrastination highlighting the primacy of short-term mood regulation focus mainly on negative affect. Positive affect, however, has received much less attention and has not been considered with respect to social t...

Motivating the selfish to stop idling: Self-interest cues can improve environmentally relevant driver behaviour (2018)
Journal Article
Van de Vyver, J., Abrams, D., Hopthrow, T., Purewal, K., Randsley de Moura, G., & Meleady, R. (2018). Motivating the selfish to stop idling: Self-interest cues can improve environmentally relevant driver behaviour. Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 54, 79-85. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trf.2018.01.015

Air pollution has a huge and negative impact on society, and idling engines are a major contributor to air pollution. The current paper draws on evolutionary models of environmental behaviour to test whether appeals to self-interest can encourage dri...

Marketing messages accompanying online selling of low/er and regular strength wine and beer products in the UK: a content analysis (2018)
Journal Article
Vasiljevic, M., Coulter, L., Petticrew, M., & Marteau, T. (2018). Marketing messages accompanying online selling of low/er and regular strength wine and beer products in the UK: a content analysis. BMC Public Health, 18, Article 147. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-018-5040-6

Background: Increased availability of low/er strength alcohol products has the potential to reduce alcohol consumption if they are marketed as substitutes for higher strength products rather than as additional products. The current study compares the... Read More about Marketing messages accompanying online selling of low/er and regular strength wine and beer products in the UK: a content analysis.

Effects of two-dimensional versus three-dimensional landmark geometry and layout on young children’s recall of locations from new viewpoints (2018)
Journal Article
Negen, J., Roome, H., Keenaghan, S., & Nardini, M. (2018). Effects of two-dimensional versus three-dimensional landmark geometry and layout on young children’s recall of locations from new viewpoints. Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 170, 1-29. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jecp.2017.12.009

Spatial memory is an important aspect of adaptive behavior and experience, providing both content and context to the perceptions and memories that we form in everyday life. Young children’s abilities in this realm shift from mainly egocentric (self-b...

Inequality between biases in face memory: Event-related potentials reveal dissociable neural correlates of own-race and own-gender biases (2018)
Journal Article
Wiese, H., & Schweinberger, S. (2018). Inequality between biases in face memory: Event-related potentials reveal dissociable neural correlates of own-race and own-gender biases. Cortex, 101, 119-135. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2018.01.016

Humans are more accurate at remembering faces from their own relative to a different ethnic group (own-race bias). Moreover, better memory for faces from an observer’s own relative to the other gender (own-gender bias) has also been reported, particu...
