Planar cell polarity (PCP) — the coordinated polarisation of a whole field of cells within the plane of a tissue — relies on the interaction of three modules: a global module that couples individual cellular polarity to the tissue axis, a local modul...

Incidental acquisition of foreign language vocabulary through brief multi-modal exposure (2013)
Journal Article
Bisson, M.-J., van Heuven, W. J., Conklin, K., & Tunney, R. J. (2013). Incidental acquisition of foreign language vocabulary through brief multi-modal exposure. PLoS ONE, 8(4), Article 7. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0060912

First language acquisition requires relatively little effort compared to foreign language acquisition and happens more naturally through informal learning. Informal exposure can also benefit foreign language learning, although evidence for this has b...

Understanding the role of the ‘self’ in the social priming of mimicry (2013)
Journal Article
Wang, Y., & Hamilton, A. F. D. C. (2013). Understanding the role of the ‘self’ in the social priming of mimicry. PLoS ONE, 8(4), Article e60249. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0060249

People have a tendency to unconsciously mimic other's actions. This mimicry has been regarded as a prosocial response which increases social affiliation. Previous research on social priming of mimicry demonstrated an assimilative relationship between... Read More about Understanding the role of the ‘self’ in the social priming of mimicry.

Rodents' biased exploration of a novel object over a familiar object is taken as an indication of recognition memory. According to a general associative model of memory, the biased exploration is a consequence of reduced processing of the familiar ob...
