Relative recency influences object-in-context memory (2014)
Journal Article

In two experiments rats received training on an object-in-context (OIC) task, in which they received preexposure to object A in context x, followed by exposure to object B in context y. In a subsequent test both A and B are presented in either contex... Read More about Relative recency influences object-in-context memory.

Priming memories of past wins induces risk seeking (2014)
Journal Article

People are often risk averse when making decisions under uncertainty. When those decisions are based on past experience, people necessarily rely on their memories. Thus, what is remembered at the time of the choice should influence risky choice. We t... Read More about Priming memories of past wins induces risk seeking.

Gratefully Received, Gratefully Repaid: The Role of Perceived Fairness in Cooperative Interactions (2014)
Journal Article

Prefrontal Control over Motor Cortex Cycles at Beta Frequency during Movement Inhibition (2014)
Journal Article

A fully adapted behavior requires maximum efficiency to inhibit processes in the motor domain [1]. Although a number of cortical and subcortical brain regions have been implicated, converging evidence suggests that activation of right inferior fronta...

Ro 04-6790-induced cognitive enhancement: No effect in trace conditioning and novel object recognition procedures in adult male Wistar rats (2014)
Journal Article

The evidence for cognitively enhancing effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine6 (5-HT6) receptor antagonists such as Ro 04-6790 is inconsistent and seems to depend on the behavioural test variant in use. Trace conditioning holds promise as a behavioral assay...

Neural and Cognitive Correlates of the Common and Specific Variance Across Externalizing Problems in Young Adolescence (2014)
Journal Article

Visual contrast detection cannot be predicted from surrogate measures of retinal ganglion cell number and sampling density in healthy young adults (2014)
Journal Article

To establish whether a clinically exploitable relationship exists between surrogate measures of retinal ganglion cell number and functional sampling density and visual contrast sensitivity in healthy young eyes.

Effects of action observation on corticospinal excitability: muscle specificity, direction, and timing of the mirror response (2014)
Journal Article

Many human behaviours and pathologies have been attributed to the putative mirror neuron system, a neural system that is active during both the observation and execution of actions. While there are now a very large number of papers on the mirror neur...

Characterizing the role of disparity information in alleviating visual crowding (2014)
Journal Article

The ability to identify a target is reduced by the presence of nearby objects, a phenomenon known as visual crowding. The extent to which crowding impairs our perception is generally governed by the degree of similarity between a target stimulus and...

Temporal summation of global form signals in dynamic glass patterns (2014)
Journal Article

The ability to perceive complex objects in the environment requires that the visual system integrate local form information into global shapes. Glass patterns (GPs) are stimuli that are commonly used to study this integration process. GPs consist of... Read More about Temporal summation of global form signals in dynamic glass patterns.

Nature and origins of mathematics difficulties in very preterm children: a different etiology than developmental dyscalculia (2014)
Journal Article

Background: Children born very preterm ([under] 32 wk) are at high risk for mathematics learning difficulties that are out of proportion to other academic and cognitive deficits. However, the etiology of mathematics difficulties in very preterm ch...

The Dichotomy of Memantine Treatment for Ischemic Stroke: Dose-Dependent Protective and Detrimental Effects (2014)
Journal Article

An associative analysis of object memory (2014)
Journal Article

Different aspects of recognition memory in rodents are commonly assessed using variants of the spontaneous object recognition procedure in which animals explore objects that differ in terms of their novelty, recency, or where they have previously bee...

Agreement on the perception of moral character (2014)
Journal Article

This study tested for inter-judge agreement on moral character. A sample of students and community members rated their own moral character using a measure that tapped six moral character traits. Friends, family members, and/or acquaintances rated the... Read More about Agreement on the perception of moral character.

Characterizing the effects of multidirectional motion adaptation (2014)
Journal Article

The challenges of developing a contrast-based video game for treatment of amblyopia (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014 Hussain, Astle, Webb and Mcgraw. Perceptual learning of visual tasks is emerging as a promising treatment for amblyopia, a developmental disorder of vision characterized by poor monocular visual acuity. The tasks tested thus far span the gamut... Read More about The challenges of developing a contrast-based video game for treatment of amblyopia.

Effects of dorsal hippocampal damage on conditioning and conditioned-response timing: a pooled analysis (2014)
Journal Article

Behavioral findings suggest that the dorsal hippocampus (DHPC) plays a role in timing of appetitive conditioned responding. The present article explored the relationship between the extent of DHPC damage and timing ability, in a pooled analysis of th...

Dissociating contributions of the motor cortex to speech perception and response bias by using transcranial magnetic stimulation (2014)
Journal Article

Recent studies using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) have demonstrated that disruptions of the articulatory motor cortex impair performance in demanding speech perception tasks. These findings have been interpreted as support for t...

Overshadowing by fixed- and variable-duration stimuli (2014)
Journal Article

Two experiments investigated the effect of the temporal distribution form of a stimulus on its ability to produce an overshadowing effect. The overshadowing stimuli were either of the same duration on every trial, or of a variable duration drawn from... Read More about Overshadowing by fixed- and variable-duration stimuli.
