Mathematics students demonstrate superior visuo-spatial working memory to humanities students under conditions of low central executive processing load (2019)
Journal Article
Hubber, P. J., Gilmore, C., & Cragg, L. (2019). Mathematics students demonstrate superior visuo-spatial working memory to humanities students under conditions of low central executive processing load. Journal of Numerical Cognition, 5(2), 189-219. https://doi.org/10.5964/jnc.v5i2.175

Previous research has demonstrated that working memory performance is linked to mathematics achievement. Most previous studies have involved children and arithmetic rather than more advanced forms of mathematics. This study compared the performance o...

Understanding arithmetic concepts: the role of domain-specific and domain-general skills (2018)
Journal Article
Gilmore, C., Clayton, S., Cragg, L., McKeaveney, C., Simms, V., & Johnson, S. (2018). Understanding arithmetic concepts: the role of domain-specific and domain-general skills. PLoS ONE, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0201724

A large body of research has identified cognitive skills associated with overall mathematics achievement, focusing primarily on identifying associates of procedural skills. Conceptual understanding, however, has received less attention, despite its i... Read More about Understanding arithmetic concepts: the role of domain-specific and domain-general skills.

Cognitive predictors of parent-rated inattention in very preterm children: The role of working memory and processing speed (2018)
Journal Article
Retzler, J., Johnson, S., Groom, M., Hollis, C., Budge, H., & Cragg, L. (2019). Cognitive predictors of parent-rated inattention in very preterm children: The role of working memory and processing speed. Child Neuropsychology, 25(5), 617-635. https://doi.org/10.1080/09297049.2018.1510908

Background: Inattention is one of the most common neurobehavioural problems following very preterm birth. Attention problems can persist into adulthood and are associated with negative socio-emotional and educational outcomes. This study aimed to det...

The threshold for the McGurk effect in audio-visual noise decreases with development (2018)
Journal Article
Hirst, R. J., Stacey, J. E., Cragg, L., Stacey, P. C., & Allen, H. A. (2018). The threshold for the McGurk effect in audio-visual noise decreases with development. Scientific Reports, 8, Article 12372. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-30798-8

Across development, vision increasingly influences audio-visual perception. This is evidenced in illusions such as the McGurk effect, in which a seen mouth movement changes the perceived sound. The current paper assessed the effects of manipulating t... Read More about The threshold for the McGurk effect in audio-visual noise decreases with development.
