Shifting development in mid-childhood: the influence of between-task interference (2009)
Journal Article
Cragg, L., & Nation, K. (2009). Shifting development in mid-childhood: the influence of between-task interference. Developmental Psychology, 45(5), https://doi.org/10.1037/a0015360

Performance on the task-switching paradigm is greatly affected by the amount of conflict between tasks. Compared to adults, children appear to be particularly influenced by this conflict, suggesting that the ability to resolve interference between ta...

A patient (HJA) with bilateral occipital lobe damage to ventral cortical areas V2, V3 and V4 was tested on a texture segmentation task involving texture bar detection in an array of oriented lines. Performance detecting a target shape was assessed as... Read More about Ventral extra-striate cortical areas are required for human visual texture segmentation.

Risky Business: Disambiguating Ambiguity-Related Responses in the Brain (2009)
Journal Article
Kobayashi, S., & O'Neill, M. (2009). Risky Business: Disambiguating Ambiguity-Related Responses in the Brain. Journal of Neurophysiology, 102(2), 645-647. https://doi.org/10.1152/jn.00406.2009

Previous functional MRI studies reported neural correlates of risk and ambiguity based on behavioral economic theories. A recent study controlled for uncertainty by adding noise to information of an impending aversive event and demonstrated brain are...

Interactions between new and pre-existing dynamics in bimanual movement control (2009)
Journal Article
Serrien, D. J. (2009). Interactions between new and pre-existing dynamics in bimanual movement control. Experimental Brain Research, 197(3), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-009-1910-6

Motor skills are commonly acquired through practice. This process not only involves acquisition of the particular task demands but also requires overcoming pre-existing modes. In the present study, interactions between new and intrinsic dynamics were... Read More about Interactions between new and pre-existing dynamics in bimanual movement control.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of interventions relevant for young offenders with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, or self-harm (2009)
Journal Article

Systematic review and meta-analysis of interventions relevant for young offenders with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, or self-harm. Journal of Adolescence, 33(1), 9-20. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.adolescence.2009.05.015

Background: Mood and anxiety disorders, and problems with self harm are significant and serious issues that are common in young people in the Criminal Justice System.
Aims: To examine whether interventions relevant to young offenders with mood or an... Read More about Systematic review and meta-analysis of interventions relevant for young offenders with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, or self-harm.

Direct tactile stimulation of dorsal occipito-temporal cortex in a visual agnosic (2009)
Journal Article
Allen, H. A., & Humphreys, G. W. (2009). Direct tactile stimulation of dorsal occipito-temporal cortex in a visual agnosic. Current Biology, 19(12), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2009.04.057

The human occipito-temporal cortex is preferentially activated by images of objects as opposed to scrambled images [1]. Touching objects (versus textures) also activates this region [2–10]. We used neuropsychological fMRI to probe whether dorsal regi... Read More about Direct tactile stimulation of dorsal occipito-temporal cortex in a visual agnosic.

Corticosterone differences rather than social housing predict performance of T-maze alternation in male CD-1 mice (2009)
Journal Article
Fitchett, A. E., Barnard, C. J., & Cassaday, H. J. (2009). Corticosterone differences rather than social housing predict performance of T-maze alternation in male CD-1 mice. Animal Welfare Journal, 18(1),

This study examined the effects of social housing manipulations on body weight, corticosterone levels, and performance of T-maze alternation in male CD-1 mice. Males that adopted a dominant social rank were heavier than those that adopted a subordina...

Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-00582-4_10

The current work aims to unveil the neural circuits under- lying visual search over time and space by using a model-based analysis of behavioural and fMRI data. It has been suggested by Watson and Humphreys [31] that the prioritization of new stimuli...

Successful motor behavior depends on optimal information processing and planning. In the present study, the neural response of the motor system to conflict of visuomotor discrepancy (mirror-reversed vision) and complexity (task difficulty and hand la...

Effects of task complexity and sensory conflict on goal-directed movement (2009)
Journal Article

Interactions between brain regions are necessary for compound activities to take place. Accordingly, evaluating hemispheric information processing during skilled behaviour provides valuable knowledge about brain regulation. To this end, the present s...
