The role of the oculomotor system in covert social attention (2014)
Journal Article
Morgan, E., Ball, K., & Smith, D. (2014). The role of the oculomotor system in covert social attention. Attention, Perception, and Psychophysics, 76(5), 1265-1270. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13414-014-0716-1

Observing a change in gaze direction triggers a reflexive shift of attention and appears to engage the eye-movement system. However, the functional relationship between social attention and this oculomotor activation is unclear. One extremely influen...

Participants are more accurate at remembering faces from their own relative to a different age group (the own-age bias, or OAB). A recent socio-cognitive account has suggested that differential allocation of attention to old versus young faces underl...

Some blind humans make clicking noises with their mouth and use the reflected echoes to perceive objects and surfaces. This technique can operate as a crude substitute for vision, allowing human echolocators to perceive silent, distal objects. Here,...

Effects of posture on tactile localization by 4 years of age are modulated by sight of the hands: evidence for an early acquired external spatial frame of reference for touch (2014)
Journal Article
Begum Ali, J., Cowie, D., & Bremner, A. (2014). Effects of posture on tactile localization by 4 years of age are modulated by sight of the hands: evidence for an early acquired external spatial frame of reference for touch. Developmental Science, 17(6), 935-943. https://doi.org/10.1111/desc.12184

Adults show a deficit in their ability to localize tactile stimuli to their hands when their arms are in the less familiar, crossed posture. It is thought that this ‘crossed-hands deficit’ arises due to a conflict between the anatomical and external...
