The rapid emergence of stimulus specific perceptual learning (2012)
Journal Article
Hussain, Z., McGraw, P. V., Sekuler, A. B., & Bennett, P. J. (2012). The rapid emergence of stimulus specific perceptual learning. Frontiers in Psychology, 3(226), https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2012.00226

Is stimulus specific perceptual learning the result of extended practice or does it emerge early in the time course of learning? We examined this issue by manipulating the amount of practice given on a face identification task on Day 1, and altering...

US specificity of occasion setting: hierarchical or configural learning? (2012)
Journal Article
Bonardi, C., Bartle, C., & Jennings, D. (2012). US specificity of occasion setting: hierarchical or configural learning?. Behavioural Processes, 90(3), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.beproc.2012.03.005

Four experiments in rats examined whether occasion setters and target CSs play qualitatively different roles in occasion-setting discriminations. Two visual occasion setters, A and B, signalled reinforcement of two auditory target CSs, x and y, with... Read More about US specificity of occasion setting: hierarchical or configural learning?.

Does the butcher-on-the-bus phenomenon require a dual-process explanation? A signal detection analysis (2012)
Journal Article
Tunney, R. J., Mullett, T. L., Moross, C. J., & Gardner, A. (2012). Does the butcher-on-the-bus phenomenon require a dual-process explanation? A signal detection analysis. Frontiers in Psychology, 3(208), https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2012.00208

The butcher-on-the-bus is a rhetorical device or hypothetical phenomenon that is often used to illustrate how recognition decisions can be based on different memory processes (Mandler, 1980). The phenomenon describes a scenario in which a person is r... Read More about Does the butcher-on-the-bus phenomenon require a dual-process explanation? A signal detection analysis.

Systematic biases in early ERP and ERF components as a result of high-pass filtering (2012)
Journal Article
Acunzo, D. J., Mackenzie, G., & van Rossum, M. C. (2012). Systematic biases in early ERP and ERF components as a result of high-pass filtering. Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 209(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jneumeth.2012.06.011

The event-related potential (ERP) and event-related field (ERF) techniques provide valuable insights into the time course of processes in the brain. Because neural signals are typically weak, researchers commonly filter the data to increase the signa...

Social top-down response modulation (STORM): a model of the control of mimicry in social interaction (2012)
Journal Article
Wang, Y., & Hamilton, A. F. D. C. (2012). Social top-down response modulation (STORM): a model of the control of mimicry in social interaction. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 6(153), Article 153. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2012.00153

As a distinct feature of human social interactions, spontaneous mimicry has been widely investigated in the past decade. Research suggests that mimicry is a subtle and flexible social behavior which plays an important role for communication and affil...

Opposing effects of 5,7-DHT lesions to the core and shell of the nucleus accumbens on the processing of irrelevant stimuli (2012)
Journal Article
Nelson, A. J., Thur, K. E., Marsden, C. A., & Cassaday, H. J. (2012). Opposing effects of 5,7-DHT lesions to the core and shell of the nucleus accumbens on the processing of irrelevant stimuli. International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology, 15(4), https://doi.org/10.1017/S1461145711000599

There is good evidence that forebrain serotonergic systems modulate cognitive flexibility. Latent inhibition (LI) is a cross-species phenomenon which manifests as poor conditioning to a stimulus that has previously been experienced without consequenc...

Dorsal hippocampal involvement in appetitive trace conditioning and interval timing (2012)
Journal Article

Involvement of the dorsal hippocampus (DHPC) in acquisition of Pavlovian trace conditioning and interval timing was examined in an appetitive preparation in which presentations of one conditioned stimulus (CS) were immediately followed by food (delay...

Dorsal hippocampal lesions disrupt Pavlovian delay conditioning and conditioned-response timing (2012)

The involvement of the rat dorsal hippocampus (dhpc) in Pavlovian conditioning and timing of conditioned responding was examined in an appetitive preparation in which presentation of a relatively long, 40-s auditory conditioned stimulus (CS) was foll...

Similar behaviour, different brain patterns: age-related changes in neural signatures of ignoring (2012)
Journal Article
Allen, H. A., & Payne, H. (2012). Similar behaviour, different brain patterns: age-related changes in neural signatures of ignoring. NeuroImage, 59(4), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2011.10.070

We measured behavioural performance and fMRI activity whilst old and young adults performed a temporal
segmentation task (‘preview search’). Being able to select parts of the visual world to be attended or ignored
is a critical visual skill. Both o... Read More about Similar behaviour, different brain patterns: age-related changes in neural signatures of ignoring.

Handedness and the excitability of cortical inhibitory circuits (2012)
Journal Article
Reid, C. S., & Serrien, D. J. (in press). Handedness and the excitability of cortical inhibitory circuits. Behavioural Brain Research, 230(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2012.02.008

Inhibitory processes play a significant role in the control of goal-directed actions. To increase insights into these mechanisms as a function of handedness, we measured the transient inhibition of volitional motor activity induced by single pulse tr...
