Cacao pod husk (CPH) is a primary waste in the cacao industry that contains favourable natural antioxidants based on phenolic compounds. This study reported an investigation of the effect of extraction parameters to maximise the bioactive yields of C...

Spatial transformations of bodies and objects in adults with autism spectrum disorder (2014)
Journal Article
Pearson, A., Marsh, L., Hamilton, A., & Ropar, D. (2014). Spatial transformations of bodies and objects in adults with autism spectrum disorder. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44(9), 2277-2289. doi:10.1007/s10803-014-2098-6

Previous research into autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has shown people with autism to be impaired at visual perspective taking. However it is still unclear to what extent the spatial mechanisms underlying this ability contribute to these difficulties...

Predictive gaze during observation of irrational actions in adults with autism spectrum conditions (2014)
Journal Article
Marsh, L., Pearson, A., Ropar, D., & Hamilton, A. F. D. C. (2015). Predictive gaze during observation of irrational actions in adults with autism spectrum conditions. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 45(1), 245-261. doi:10.1007/s10803-014-2215-6

Understanding irrational actions may require the observer to make mental state inferences about why an action was performed. Individuals with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) have well documented difficulties with mentalizing; however, the degree to...

Using other minds as a window onto the world: guessing what happened from clues in behaviour (2014)
Journal Article
Pillai, D., Sheppard, E., Ropar, D., Marsh, L., Pearson, A., & Mitchell, P. (2014). Using other minds as a window onto the world: guessing what happened from clues in behaviour. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 44(10), 2430-2439. doi:10.1007/s10803-014-2106-x

It has been proposed that mentalising involves retrodicting as well as predicting behaviour, by inferring previous mental states of a target. This study investigated whether retrodiction is impaired in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD)...
