Electrophysiological correlates of error monitoring and feedback processing in second language learning (2017)
Journal Article
Bultena, S., Danielmeier, C., Bekkering, H., & Lemhöfer, K. (2017). Electrophysiological correlates of error monitoring and feedback processing in second language learning. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 11(29), https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2017.00029

Humans monitor their behavior to optimize performance, which presumably relies on stable representations of correct responses. During second language (L2) learning, however, stable representations have yet to be formed while knowledge of the first la...

When fair is not equal: compassion and politeness predict allocations of wealth under different norms of equity and need (2017)
Journal Article
Zhao, K., Ferguson, E., & Smillie, L. D. (in press). When fair is not equal: compassion and politeness predict allocations of wealth under different norms of equity and need. Social Psychological and Personality Science, 8(8), https://doi.org/10.1177/1948550616683018

Growing evidence has highlighted the importance of social norms in promoting prosocial behaviors in economic games. Specifically, individual differences in norm adherence—captured by the politeness aspect of Big Five agreeableness—has been found to p...

Closing the gap: efficacy of a tablet intervention to support the development of early mathematical skills in UK primary school children (2017)
Journal Article
Outhwaite, L. A., Gulliford, A., & Pitchford, N. J. (2017). Closing the gap: efficacy of a tablet intervention to support the development of early mathematical skills in UK primary school children. Computers and Education, 108, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2017.01.011

The efficacy of a hand-held tablet technology intervention with learner-centred interactive software aimed at supporting the development of early maths skills was evaluated in four studies conducted in three UK primary schools. Immediate and sustaine... Read More about Closing the gap: efficacy of a tablet intervention to support the development of early mathematical skills in UK primary school children.

Scene-selective coding by single neurons in the human parahippocampal cortex (2017)
Journal Article
Mormann, F., Kornblith, S., Cerf, M., Ison, M. J., Kraskov, A., Tran, M., Knieling, S., Quian Quiroga, R., Koch, C., & Fried, I. (2017). Scene-selective coding by single neurons in the human parahippocampal cortex. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 114(5), https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1608159113

Imaging, electrophysiological, and lesion studies have shown a relationship between the parahippocampal cortex (PHC) and the processing of spatial scenes. Our present knowledge of PHC, however, is restricted to the macroscopic properties and dynamics... Read More about Scene-selective coding by single neurons in the human parahippocampal cortex.

Integrating Hebbian and homeostatic plasticity: the current state of the field and future research directions (2017)
Journal Article
Keck, T., Toyoizumi, T., Chen, L., Doiron, B., Feldman, D. E., Fox, K., Gerstner, W., Haydon, P. G., Hübener, M., Lee, H.-K., Lisman, J. E., Rose, T., Sengpiel, F., Stellwagen, D., Stryker, M. P., Turrigiano, G. G., & van Rossum, M. C. (2017). Integrating Hebbian and homeostatic plasticity: the current state of the field and future research directions. Philosophical Transactions B: Biological Sciences, 372(1715), https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2016.0158

We summarize here the results presented and subsequent discussion from the meeting on Integrating Hebbian and Homeostatic Plasticity at the Royal Society in April 2016. We first outline the major themes and results presented at the meeting. We next p...

Test–retest reliability of brain morphology estimates (2017)
Journal Article
Madan, C. R., & Kensinger, E. A. (2017). Test–retest reliability of brain morphology estimates. Brain Informatics, 4(2), https://doi.org/10.1007/s40708-016-0060-4

Metrics of brain morphology are increasingly being used to examine inter-individual differences, making it important to evaluate the reliability of these structural measures. Here we used two open-access datasets to assess the intersession reliabilit... Read More about Test–retest reliability of brain morphology estimates.

Lay causes of binge drinking in the United Kingdom and Australia: a causal network diagram approach (2017)
Journal Article
Keatley, D. A., Ferguson, E., Lonsdale, A., & Hagger, M. S. (2017). Lay causes of binge drinking in the United Kingdom and Australia: a causal network diagram approach. Health Education Research, 32(1), 33-47. https://doi.org/10.1093/her/cyw056

Binge drinking is associated with deleterious health, social and economic outcomes. This study explored the lay understanding of the causes of binge drinking in members of the general public in the United Kingdom and Australia. Participants in the Un...

Functional consequences of pre- and postsynaptic expression of synaptic plasticity (2017)
Journal Article
Costa, R. P., Mizusaki, B. E., Sjöström, P. J., & van Rossum, M. C. (2017). Functional consequences of pre- and postsynaptic expression of synaptic plasticity. Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences, 372(1715), https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2016.0153

Growing experimental evidence shows that both homeostatic and Hebbian synaptic plasticity can be expressed presynaptically as well as postsynaptically. In this review, we start by discussing this evidence and methods used to determine expression loci...
