Impaired Pavlovian conditioned inhibition in offenders with personality disorders (2011)
Journal Article
He, Z., Cassaday, H. J., Howard, R. C., Khalifa, N., & Bonardi, C. (2011). Impaired Pavlovian conditioned inhibition in offenders with personality disorders. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 64(12), https://doi.org/10.1080/17470218.2011.616933

Certain types of violent offending are often accompanied by evidence of personality disorders (PDs), a range of heterogeneous conditions characterised by disinhibited behaviours that are generally described as impulsive. The tasks previously used to... Read More about Impaired Pavlovian conditioned inhibition in offenders with personality disorders.

Associative learning in ADHD: improved expression under methylphenidate (2011)
Journal Article
Kantini, E., Cassaday, H. J., Batty, M. J., Hollis, C., & Jackson, G. M. (2011). Associative learning in ADHD: improved expression under methylphenidate. Open Journal of Psychiatry, 1(2), https://doi.org/10.4236/ojpsych.2011.12004

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterised by developmentally inappropriate levels of inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity. As might be expected of a disorder in which inhibitory deficits form part of the diagnostic criter... Read More about Associative learning in ADHD: improved expression under methylphenidate.

The normal inhibition of associations is impaired by clonidine in Tourette syndrome (2011)
Journal Article
Kantini, E., Cassaday, H. J., Hollis, C., & Jackson, G. M. (2011). The normal inhibition of associations is impaired by clonidine in Tourette syndrome. Journal of the Canadian Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry = Journal de l'Academie canadienne de psychiatrie de l'enfant et de l'adolescent, 20(2),

Objective: We examined the inhibition of stimulus-stimulus associations (formally ‘conditioned inhibition’) in Tourette syndrome (TS). Method: The present study used video game style conditioned inhibition procedures suitable for children and adolesc...

Bridging the gap between physiology and behavior: evidence from the sSoTS model of human visual attention (2011)
Journal Article
Mavritsaki, E., Heinke, D., Allen, H. A., Deco, G., & Humphreys, G. W. (2011). Bridging the gap between physiology and behavior: evidence from the sSoTS model of human visual attention. Psychological Review, 118(1), https://doi.org/10.1037/a0021868

We present the case for a role of biologically plausible neural network modeling in bridging the gap between physiology and behavior. We argue that spiking-level networks can allow “vertical” translation between physiological properties of neural sys...

Active ignoring in early visual cortex (2011)
Journal Article
Payne, H., & Allen, H. A. (2011). Active ignoring in early visual cortex. Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 23(8), https://doi.org/10.1162/jocn.2010.21562

Selective attention is critical for controlling the input to mental processes. Attentional mechanisms act not only to select relevant stimuli but also to exclude irrelevant stimuli. There is evidence that we can actively ignore irrelevant information... Read More about Active ignoring in early visual cortex.

Motor awareness and dissociable levels of action representation (2011)
Journal Article
Serrien, D. J., & Spapé, M. M. (2011). Motor awareness and dissociable levels of action representation. Neuroscience Letters, 494(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neulet.2011.02.077

The present study evaluated the performance of a tracking task during which no, a small (subliminal: 20°) or a large (conscious: 60°) rotational perturbation was implemented. The instantaneous as well as carry-over effects of the perturbations were a... Read More about Motor awareness and dissociable levels of action representation.

Prediction of collision events: an EEG coherence analysis (2011)
Journal Article
Spapé, M. M., & Serrien, D. J. (2011). Prediction of collision events: an EEG coherence analysis. Clinical Neurophysiology, 122(5), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinph.2011.01.047

Objective: A common daily-life task is the interaction with moving objects for which prediction of collision events is required. To evaluate the sources of information used in this process, this EEG study required participants to judge whether two mo...

Perceptions of climate change and willingness to save energy related to flood experience (2011)
Journal Article
Spence, A., Poortinga, W., Butler, C., & Pidgeon, N. (2011). Perceptions of climate change and willingness to save energy related to flood experience. Nature Climate Change, 1(1),

One of the reasons that people may not take action to mitigate climate change is that they lack first-hand experience of its potential consequences. From this perspective, individuals who have direct experience of phenomena that may be linked to clim...
