Counterfactual thinking: the temporal order effect
(2004)People often think about how things might have happened differently. Their counterfactual thoughts tend to mentally undo the most recent event in an independent sequence. Consider a game in which two players must each pick ... -
Rethinking global health research: towards integrative expertise
(2009)The Bamako Call for Action on Research for Health stresses the importance of inter-disciplinary, inter-ministerial and inter-sectoral working. This challenges much of our current research and postgraduate research training ... -
Understanding cumulative risk
(2010)The authors investigated the relationship between reasoners' understanding of subjunctive conditionals (e.g., if p had happened, then q would have happened) and the inferences they were prepared to endorse. Reasoners who ... -
Experimental Design
(Humana Press, 2009)Non-invasive functional neuroimaging techniques enable researchers to study the neurobiological substrates of psychological processes. The increasingly large body of neuroimaging research has two fundamental purposes. ... -
The psychostimulant modafinil facilitates water maze performance and augments synaptic potentiation in dentate gyrus
(2010)Modafinil is a psychostimulant drug used widely for the treatment of narcolepsy, which also has additional positive effects on cognition. Here, we investigate the effects of modafinil on behavioral performance and synaptic ... -
A randomised controlled trial of computerised cognitive cognitive rehabilitation for unilateral left neglect
(Elsevier, 1990)Microcomputers are widely used in cognitive rehabilitation of brain damage. Unilateral neglect is commonly a target of cognitive rehabilitation, both computer-based and non-computer-based. This study reports the results ... -
Cognitive Rehabilitation Interventions for Neglect and Related Disorders: Moving from Bench to Bedside in Stroke Patients
(MIT Press, 2006)The spatial neglect syndrome, defined by asymmetric attention and action not attributed to primary motor or sensory dysfunction and accompanied by functional disability, is a major cause of post-stroke morbidity. In ... -
Impaired capacity for autonoetic reliving during autobiographical event recall in mild Alzheimer's disease
(2011)The capacity to mentally travel back in time and relive past events via autonoetic consciousness has been shown to be compromised even in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD). To further understand the unravelling ... -
Prolonged rote learning produces delayed memory facilitation and metabolic changes in the hippocampus of the ageing human brain
(2009)Background: Repeated rehearsal is one method by which verbal material may be transferred from short- to long-term memory. We hypothesised that extended engagement of memory structures through prolonged rehearsal would ... -
The P300 as a marker of waning attention and error propensity
(2007)Action errors can occur when routine responses are triggered inappropriately by familiar cues. Here, EEG was recorded as volunteers performed a ?go/no-go? task of long duration that occasionally and unexpectedly required ... -
Cognitive rehabilitation in the elderly: A randomized trial to evaluate a new protocol.
(Cambridge University Press, 2007)This study provides an introduction to, and overview of, several papers that resulted from a randomized control trial that evaluated a new cognitive rehabilitation protocol. The program was designed to improve general ... -
Cognitive rehabilitation in the elderly: overview and future directions.
(Cambridge Univeristy Press, 2007)This study provides an overview of the papers emanating from the experimental trial that evaluated a new cognitive rehabilitation program in older adults who were experiencing normal cognitive decline. The main features ... -
Cognitive rehabilitation in the elderly: Effects on strategic behavior in relation to goal management
(Cambridge University Press, 2007)Executive functions are highly sensitive to the effects of aging and other conditions affecting frontal lobe function. Yet there are few validated interventions specifically designed to address executive functions, and, ... -
Awareness of Deficits in Traumatic Brain Injury: A Multidimensional Approach to Assessing Metacognitive Knowledge and Online-Awareness
(Cambridge University Press, 2007)Recent models of impaired awareness in brain injury draw a distinction between metacognitive knowledge of difficulties and online awareness of errors (emergent and anticipatory). We examined performance of 31 Traumatic Brain ... -
Science is the search for generalizable processes - clinicians solve complex problems: A reply to Wilson on the importance of not confusing these two things
(Cambridge University Press, 2005)Barbara Wilson is a creative and influential clinician?scientist who has dedicated her working life to finding ways to rehabilitate brain-damaged people in all the confusing complexity of their damaged brains and lives. ... -
Cocaine dependence and attention switching within and between verbal and visuospatial working memory
(Wiley Blackwell, 2005)Many studies have shown the negative effects of cocaine on neuropsychological and cognitive performance in drug-dependent individuals, but little is known about the underlying neuroanatomy of these dysfunctions. The present ... -
The Virtual Haptic Display: A device for exploring 2-D virtual shapes in the tactile modality.
(Psychonomic Society, 2007)In order to understand better the processes involved in the perception of shape through touch, someelement of control is required over the nature of the shape presented to the hand and the presentation timing. To that end, ... -
The Subiculum: What It Does, What It Might Do, And What Neuroanatomy Has Yet To Tell Us
(Anatomical Society of Great Britain and Ireland, 2005)The subiculum is a pivotal but under-investigated structure positioned between the hippocampus proper and entorhinal and other cortices, as well as a range of subcortical structures. The subiculum has a range of ... -
Intramodal perceptual grouping modulates multisensory integration: Evidence from the crossmodal dynamic capture task
(Elsevier, 2005)We investigated the extent to which intramodal visual perceptual grouping influences the multisensory integration (or grouping) of auditory and visual motion information. Participants discriminated the direction of motion ... -
When Does Visual Perceptual Grouping Affect Multisensory Integration?
(The Psychonomic Society, 2004)Several studies have shown that the direction in which a visual apparent motion stream moves can influence the perceived direction of an auditory apparent motion stream (an effect known as crossmodal dynamic capture). ...
