Responses in the right posterior superior temporal sulcus show a feature-based response to facial expression (2015)
Journal Article
Flack, T., Andrews, T., Hymers, M., Al-Mosaiwi, M., Marsden, S., Strachan, J., …Young, A. (2015). Responses in the right posterior superior temporal sulcus show a feature-based response to facial expression. Cortex, 69, 14-23. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2015.03.002

The face-selective region of the right posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) plays an important role in analysing facial expressions. However, it is less clear how facial expressions are represented in this region. In this study, we used the face...

Mental state attribution and the gaze cueing effect (2015)
Journal Article
Cole, G., Smith, D., & Atkinson, M. (2015). Mental state attribution and the gaze cueing effect. Attention, Perception, and Psychophysics, 77(4), 1105-1115. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13414-014-0780-6

Theory of mind is said to be possessed by an individual if he or she is able to impute mental states to others. Recently, some authors have demonstrated that such mental state attributions can mediate the “gaze cueing” effect, in which observation of...

The present study examined whether semantic memory for newly learned people is structured by visual co-occurrence, shared semantics, or both. Participants were trained with pairs of simultaneously presented (i.e., co-occurring) preexperimentally unfa...

Some extended psychological benefits of challenging social stereotypes: Decreased dehumanization and a reduced reliance on heuristic thinking. (2015)
Journal Article
Prati, F., Vasiljevic, M., Crisp, R., & Rubini, M. (2015). Some extended psychological benefits of challenging social stereotypes: Decreased dehumanization and a reduced reliance on heuristic thinking. Group Processes & Intergroup Relations, 18(6), 801-816. https://doi.org/10.1177/1368430214567762

One way to promote equality is to encourage people to generate counterstereotypic role models. In two experiments, we demonstrate that such interventions have much broader benefits than previously thought—reducing a reliance on heuristic thinking and...

The importance of hope in promoting conciliatory attitudes has been asserted in the field of conflict resolution. However, little is known about conditions inducing hope, especially in intractable conflicts, where reference to the outgroup may backfi...

When you smile, the world smiles at you: ERP evidence for self-expression effects on face processing (2015)
Journal Article
Sel, A., Calvo-Merino, B., Tuettenberg, S., & Forster, B. (2015). When you smile, the world smiles at you: ERP evidence for self-expression effects on face processing. Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, 10(10), 1316-1322. https://doi.org/10.1093/scan/nsv009

Current models of emotion simulation propose that intentionally posing a facial expression can change one’s subjective feelings, which in turn influences the processing of visual input. However, the underlying neural mechanism whereby one’s facial em... Read More about When you smile, the world smiles at you: ERP evidence for self-expression effects on face processing.

Dorsolateral striatal lesions impair navigation based on landmark-goal vectors but facilitate spatial learning based on a "cognitive map" (2015)
Journal Article

In three experiments, the nature of the interaction between multiple memory systems in rats solving a variation of a spatial task in the water maze was investigated. Throughout training rats were able to find a submerged platform at a fixed distance...

The contribution of LM to the neuroscience of movement vision (2015)
Journal Article

The significance of early and sporadic reports in the 19th century of impairments of motion vision following brain damage was largely unrecognized. In the absence of satisfactory post-mortem evidence, impairments were interpreted as the consequence o... Read More about The contribution of LM to the neuroscience of movement vision.

Previous work has demonstrated that when targets are defined by a constant feature, attention can be directed rapidly and in parallel to sequentially presented target objects at different locations. We assessed how fast attention is allocated to mult... Read More about Rapid parallel attentional target selection in single-color and multiple-color visual search.

The Bayesian approach to the psychology of reasoning generalizes binary logic, extending the binary concept of consistency to that of coherence, and allowing the study of deductive reasoning from uncertain premises. Studies in judgment and decision m... Read More about Bayesian reasoning with ifs and ands and ors.

Previous electrophysiological studies have shown that attentional selection processes are highly sensitive to the temporal order of task-relevant visual events. When two successively presented colour-defined target stimuli are separated by a stimulus...
