Variation in women's preferences for male facial masculinity may reflect variation in attraction to immunocompetence or to maturity. This paper reports two studies on (a) the interrelationships between women's preferences for masculinity, apparent he...

When the illumination on a scene changes, so do the visual signals elicited by that scene. In spite of these changes, the objects within a scene tend to remain constant in their apparent colour. We start this review by discussing the psychophysical p... Read More about Sensory, computational and cognitive components of human colour constancy.

Recollection in an episodic-like memory task in the rat (2005)
Journal Article
Eacott, M., Easton, A., & Zinkivskay, A. (2005). Recollection in an episodic-like memory task in the rat. Learning & Memory, 12(3), 221-223. https://doi.org/10.1101/lm.92505

Episodic memory in humans is the conscious recollection of a past event. Animal models of episodic-like memory assess the memory for "what" happened, "where" it happened, and either "when" it happened, or in "which" context it happened, although reco...

Right hemisphere language functions and schizophrenia: the forgotten hemisphere? (2005)

This review highlights the importance of right hemisphere language functions for successful social communication and advances the hypothesis that the core deficit in psychosis is a failure of segregation of right from left hemisphere functions. Lesio... Read More about Right hemisphere language functions and schizophrenia: the forgotten hemisphere?.

Dissociable effects of lesions to the perirhinal cortex and the postrhinal cortex on memory for context and objects in rats (2005)

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...

Three experiments investigated the roles of resource-sharing and intrinsic memory demands in complex working memory span performance in 7- and 9-year-olds. In Experiment 1, the processing complexity of arithmetic operations was varied under condition...

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.

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.

Object onset and parvocellular guidance of attentional allocation (2005)
Journal Article

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...

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.

Hemispheric asymmetry in spatial attention across the menstrual cycle (2005)

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.
