Journal Article
Oyegbami, O., Collins, H. M., Pardon, M.-C., Ebling, F. J., Heery, D. M., & Moran, P. M. (2017). Abnormal clock gene expression and locomotor activity rhythms in two month-old female APPSwe/PS1dE9 mice. Current Alzheimer Research, 14(8), 850-860. https://doi.org/10.2174/1567205014666170317113159

In addition to cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is also characterized by agitation and disruptions in activity and sleep. These symptoms typically occur in the evening or at night and have been referred to as ‘sundowning’. These symptoms a...

Temporal order judgements of dynamic gaze stimuli reveal a postdictive prioritisation of averted over direct shifts (2017)
Journal Article
Binetti, N., Harrison, C., Mareschal, I., & Johnston, A. (2017). Temporal order judgements of dynamic gaze stimuli reveal a postdictive prioritisation of averted over direct shifts. i-Perception, 8(4), https://doi.org/10.1177/2041669517720808

We studied temporal order judgements (TOJs) of gaze shift behaviours and evaluated the impact of gaze direction (direct and averted gaze) and face context information (both eyes set within a single face or each eye within two adjacent hemifaces) on T...

The integration of occlusion and disparity information for judging depth in autism spectrum disorder (2017)
Journal Article
Smith, D., Ropar, D., & Allen, H. A. (in press). The integration of occlusion and disparity information for judging depth in autism spectrum disorder. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10803-017-3234-x

In autism spectrum disorder (ASD), atypical integration of visual depth cues may be due to flattened perceptual priors or selective fusion. The current study attempts to disentangle these explanations by psychophysically assessing within-modality int...

Microstructural abnormalities in white and gray matter in obese adolescents with and without type 2 diabetes (2017)
Journal Article
Nouwen, A., Chambers, A. L., Chechlacz, M., Higgs, S., Blissett, J., Barrett, T., & Allen, H. A. (in press). Microstructural abnormalities in white and gray matter in obese adolescents with and without type 2 diabetes. NeuroImage: Clinical, 16, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nicl.2017.07.004

Aims/hypotheses. In adults, type 2 diabetes and obesity have been associated with structural brain changes, even in the absence of dementia. Some evidence suggested similar changes in adolescents with type 2 diabetes but comparisons with a non-obese...

Prevention is better than cure: Addressing anti-vaccine conspiracy theories (2017)
Journal Article
Jolley, D., & Douglas, K. M. (2017). Prevention is better than cure: Addressing anti-vaccine conspiracy theories. Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 47(8), 459-469. https://doi.org/10.1111/jasp.12453

The current research tested if explicit anti‐conspiracy arguments could be an effective method of addressing the potentially harmful effects of anti‐vaccine conspiracy theories. In two studies, participants were presented with anti‐conspiracy argumen... Read More about Prevention is better than cure: Addressing anti-vaccine conspiracy theories.

Perspective effects during reading: evidence from text change-detection (2017)
Journal Article
Bohan, J., & Filik, R. (in press). Perspective effects during reading: evidence from text change-detection. Discourse Processes, 55(2), https://doi.org/10.1080/0163853X.2017.1330020

We report two text change-detection studies in which we investigate the influence of reading perspective on text memory. In Experiment 1, participants read from the perspective of one of two characters in a series of short stories, and word changes w...

The contribution of nonrigid motion and shape information to object perception in pigeons and humans (2017)
Journal Article
Nankoo, J.-F., Madan, C. R., Sawalha, J., Wylie, D. R., Friedman, A., Spetch, M. L., & Vuong, Q. C. (2017). The contribution of nonrigid motion and shape information to object perception in pigeons and humans. Journal of Vision, 17(6), https://doi.org/10.1167/17.6.17

The ability to perceive and recognize objects is essential to many animals, including humans. Until recently, models of object recognition have primarily focused on static cues, such as shape, but more recent research is beginning to show that motion...

Extraction of synaptic input properties in vivo (2017)
Journal Article
Puggioni, P., Jelitai, M., Duguid, I., & van Rossum, M. C. (2017). Extraction of synaptic input properties in vivo. Neural Computation, 29(7), https://doi.org/10.1162/NECO_a_00975

Knowledge of synaptic input is crucial for understanding synaptic integration and ultimately neural function. However, in vivo, the rates at which synaptic inputs arrive are high, so that it is typically impossible to detect single events. We show he...

Pupil response hazard rates predict perceived gaze durations (2017)
Journal Article
Binetti, N., Harrison, C., Mareschal, I., & Johnston, A. (2017). Pupil response hazard rates predict perceived gaze durations. Scientific Reports, 7, Article 3969. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-04249-9

© 2017 The Author(s). We investigated the mechanisms for evaluating perceived gaze-shift duration. Timing relies on the accumulation of endogenous physiological signals. Here we focused on arousal, measured through pupil dilation, as a candidate timi... Read More about Pupil response hazard rates predict perceived gaze durations.

Saving energy in the workplace: why, and for whom? (2017)
Journal Article
Leygue, C., Ferguson, E., & Spence, A. (2017). Saving energy in the workplace: why, and for whom?. Journal of Environmental Psychology, 53, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvp.2017.06.006

Saving energy at work might be considered altruistic, because often no personal benefits accrue. However, we consider the possibility that it can be a form of impure-altruism in that the individual experiences some rewards. We develop a scale to meas...
