The Development of Selective Copying: Children's Learning From an Expert Versus Their Mother (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 The Authors. Child Development © 2016 Society for Research in Child Development, Inc. This study tested the prediction that, with age, children should rely less on familiarity and more on expertise in their selective social learning. Experimen...

Overshadowing depends on cue and reinforcement sensitivity but not schizotypy (2016)
Journal Article

There is evidence for impaired selective learning mechanisms in individuals high in schizotypy. Overshadowing provides a direct test of selective learning based on cue salience and has previously been reported to be impaired in relation to schizotypy...

Generalization of prior information for rapid Bayesian time estimation (2016)
Journal Article

To enable effective interaction with the environment, the brain combines noisy sensory information with expectations based on prior experience. There is ample evidence showing that humans can learn statistical regularities in sensory input and exploi... Read More about Generalization of prior information for rapid Bayesian time estimation.

Public health messages about antibiotic treatment for respiratory tract infection may increase perceived symptom severity reporting (2016)
Journal Article

Public health campaigns to reduce expectations for antibiotic treatment for respiratory tract infections (RTIs) have shown little or no effect on antibiotic prescribing and consumption. We examined whether such messages can increase RTI symptom repor...

Interpersonal movement synchrony facilitates pro-social behavior in children's peer-play (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The emergence of pro-social behaviors and social interaction skills is a major focus of research on children's development. Here, we consider one important feature of human social interactions, interpersonal movement s...

Bidirectional effects of cannabidiol on contextual fear memory extinction (2016)
Journal Article

Cannabidiol (CBD) has been established to have both acute and long-lasting effects to reduce fear memory expression. The long-lasting impact might be mediated by an enhancement of memory extinction or an impairment of memory reconsolidation. Here, we... Read More about Bidirectional effects of cannabidiol on contextual fear memory extinction.

Discordant inflammation and pain in early and established rheumatoid arthritis: Latent Class Analysis of Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Network and British Society for Rheumatology Biologics Register data (2016)
Journal Article

Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity is often measured using the 28 joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28). We aimed to identify and independently verify subgroups of people with RA that may be discordant with respect to self-reported... Read More about Discordant inflammation and pain in early and established rheumatoid arthritis: Latent Class Analysis of Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Network and British Society for Rheumatology Biologics Register data.

On the antecedents of an electrophysiological signature of retrieval mode (2016)
Journal Article

It has been proposed that people employ a common set of sustained operations (retrieval mode) when preparing to remember different kinds of episodic information. In two experiments, however, there was no evidence for the pattern of brain activity com... Read More about On the antecedents of an electrophysiological signature of retrieval mode.

Multiple-stage ambiguity in motion perception reveals global computation of local motion directions (2016)
Journal Article

The motion of a 1D image feature, such as a line, seen through a small aperture, or the small receptive field of a neural motion sensor, is underconstrained, and it is not possible to derive the true motion direction from a single local measurement.... Read More about Multiple-stage ambiguity in motion perception reveals global computation of local motion directions.

Flexible theta sequence compression mediated via phase precessing interneurons (2016)
Journal Article

Encoding of behavioral episodes as spike sequences during hippocampal theta oscillations provides a neural substrate for computations on events extended across time and space. However, the mechanisms underlying the numerous and diverse experimentally... Read More about Flexible theta sequence compression mediated via phase precessing interneurons.

Validating an image-based fNIRS approach with fMRI and a working memory task (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 Elsevier Inc. In the current study, we extend a previous methodological pipeline by adding a novel image reconstruction approach to move functional near-infrared (fNIRS) signals from channel-space on the surface of the head to voxel-space with...

Phase-dependent interactions in visual cortex to combinations of first- and second-order stimuli (2016)
Journal Article

A fundamental task of the visual system is to extract figure-ground boundaries between objects, which are often defined not only by differences in luminance but also by "second order" contrast or texture differences. Responses of cortical neurons to... Read More about Phase-dependent interactions in visual cortex to combinations of first- and second-order stimuli.

Commit* to change? A call to end the publication of the phrase ‘commit* suicide’ (2016)
Journal Article

Background: Countering stigma is a fundamental facet of suicide prevention efforts. Integral to this is the promotion of accurate and sensitive language. The phrase ‘commit* suicide’ has prompted marked opposition primarily due to the connotations of... Read More about Commit* to change? A call to end the publication of the phrase ‘commit* suicide’.

A functional near-infrared spectroscopy study of the effects of configural properties on sustained attention (2016)
Journal Article

Forty-five participants performed a vigilance task during which they were required to respond to a critical signal at a local feature level, while the global display was altered between groups (either a circle, a circle broken apart and reversed, or...

The need for a behavioural analysis of behavioural addictions (2016)
Journal Article

This manuscript overviews the behavioural (i.e. associative learning, conditioning) research in behavioural addictions, with reference to contemporary models of substance addiction and ongoing controversies in the behavioural addictions literature. T... Read More about The need for a behavioural analysis of behavioural addictions.

Validation of the Parental Facilitation of Mastery Scale – II (2016)
Journal Article

Objective: To develop a more reliable and comprehensive version of the Parental Facilitation of Mastery Scale (PFMS). Method: In Study 1, 387 undergraduates completed an expanded PFMS (PFMS-II) and measures of parenting, perceived control, responses...

Face exploration dynamics differentiate men and women (2016)
Journal Article

The human face is central to our everyday social interactions. Recent studies have shown that while gazing at faces, each one of us has a particular eyescanning pattern, highly stable across time. Although variables such as culture or personality hav... Read More about Face exploration dynamics differentiate men and women.

Seeing the world through others’ minds: inferring social context from behaviour (2016)
Journal Article

Past research tells us that individuals can infer information about a target’s emotional state and intentions from their facial expressions (Frith & Frith, 2012), a process known as mentalising. This extends to inferring the events that caused the fa... Read More about Seeing the world through others’ minds: inferring social context from behaviour.

Attentional differences in a driving hazard perception task in adults with autism spectrum disorders (2016)
Journal Article

The current study explored attentional processing of social and non social stimuli in ASD within the context of a driving hazard perception task. Participants watched videos of road scenes and detected hazards while their eye movements were recorded....
