Progressive supranuclear palsy is often considered a disease of the motor system and is characterised by a profound oculomotor impairment. The oculomotor system is also known to be fundamentally important in cognitive processes such as attention and... Read More about Visual Search in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.

Implications of capacity in the classroom: Simplifying tasks for autistic children may not be the answer (2018)
Journal Article
Remington, A., Hanley, M., O’Brien, S., Riby, D., & Swettenham, J. (2019). Implications of capacity in the classroom: Simplifying tasks for autistic children may not be the answer. Research in Developmental Disabilities, 85, 197-204. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ridd.2018.12.006

Background: Research has demonstrated evidence for increased perceptual capacity in autism: autistic people can process more information at any given time than neurotypical individuals. The implications of this for educating autistic pupils have not... Read More about Implications of capacity in the classroom: Simplifying tasks for autistic children may not be the answer.

Experimentally Induced Limb-Disownership in Mixed Reality (2018)
Journal Article
Kannape, O. A., Smith, E. J., Moseley, P., Roy, M. P., & Lenggenhager, B. (2019). Experimentally Induced Limb-Disownership in Mixed Reality. Neuropsychologia, 124, 161-170. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2018.12.014

The seemingly stable construct of our bodily self depends on the continued, successful integration of multisensory feedback about our body, rather than its purely physical composition. Accordingly, pathological disruption of such neural processing is... Read More about Experimentally Induced Limb-Disownership in Mixed Reality.

A robust neural index of high face familiarity (2018)
Journal Article
Wiese, H., Tüttenberg, S. C., Ingram, B. T., Chan, C. Y., Gurbuz, Z., Burton, A. M., & Young, A. W. (2019). A robust neural index of high face familiarity. Psychological Science, 30(2), 261-272. https://doi.org/10.1177/0956797618813572

Humans are remarkably accurate at recognizing familiar faces, whereas their ability to recognize, or even match, unfamiliar faces is much poorer. However, previous research has failed to identify neural correlates of this striking behavioral differen... Read More about A robust neural index of high face familiarity.

Thinking outside of the box II: Disrupting the cognitive map (2018)
Journal Article
Buckley, M. G., Smith, A. D., & Haselgrove, M. (2018). Thinking outside of the box II: Disrupting the cognitive map. Cognitive Psychology, 108, 22-41. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cogpsych.2018.11.001

A number of influential spatial learning theories posit that organisms encode a viewpoint independent (i.e. allocentric) representation of the global boundary shape of their environment in order to support spatial reorientation and place learning. In... Read More about Thinking outside of the box II: Disrupting the cognitive map.

Investigating Multiple Streams of Consciousness: Using Descriptive Experience Sampling to Explore Internally and Externally Directed Streams of Thought (2018)
Journal Article

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 12, Article 494. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2018.00494

Research into resting-state cognition has often struggled with the challenge of assessing inner experience in the resting state. We employed Descriptive Experience Sampling (DES), a method aimed at generating detailed and high-fidelity descriptions o...

Violence and aggression in young women: The importance of psychopathy and neurobiological function (2018)
Journal Article

Psychopathy is one of the most researched risk factors for violence. Yet, research in women is sparse. The present study aimed to test if the link between the four-facet structure of psychopathy and interpersonal violence and aggression was moderated...

Do egalitarians always help the disadvantaged more than the advantaged? Testing a value‐norm conflict hypothesis in Malaysia (2018)
Journal Article

Do egalitarians always express greater compassion towards the disadvantaged than towards the advantaged? A closer look at existing scholarship on the topic suggests that they likely do. Here, we investigated whether such tendency is also apparent wit... Read More about Do egalitarians always help the disadvantaged more than the advantaged?

Although politeness is an important concern in communications across cultures, a prevalent assumption in psychology is that East Asians are more inclined to be polite than members of other cultural groups due to prevalent cultural norms. Yet, evidenc... Read More about Cultural differences in politeness as a function of status relations: Comparing South Korean and British communicators.

An intermittent hypercaloric diet alters gut microbiota, prefrontal cortical gene expression and social behaviours in rats (2018)
