Time perception and depressive realism : judgement type, psychophysical functions and bias
Kornbrot, D.; Msetfi, Rachel; Grimwood, Melvyn (2013)The effect of mild depression on time estimation and production was investigated. Participants made both magnitude estimation and magnitude production judgements for five time intervals (specified in seconds) from 3 sec ... -
To admit or not to admit? : The effect of framing on risk assessment decision making in psychiatrists
Jefferies-Sewell, Kiri; Sharma, Shivani; Gale, Tim; Hawley, Chris J.; Georgiou, George; Laws, K.R. (2015-02)To investigate whether presentation of risk information in different formats (frequency, percentage and semantic) influences inpatient admission decisions by psychiatrists -
To Sign or not to Sign? : The Impact of Encouraging Infants to Gesture on Infant Language and Maternal Mind-Mindedness
Kirk, Elizabeth; Howlett, Neil; Pine, Karen; Fletcher, Ben (2013)Findings are presented from the first randomized control trial of the effects of encouraging symbolic gesture (or “baby sign”) on infant language, following 40 infants from age 8 months to 20 months. Half of the mothers ... -
To suppress, or not to suppress? : That is repression: Controlling intrusive thoughts in addictive behaviour
Moss, Antony; Erskine, James; Albery, Ian; Allen, James; Georgiou, George (2015-05-01)Research to understand how individuals cope with intrusive negative or threatening thoughts suggests a variety of different cognitive strategies aimed at thought control.

True and False Memory Priming of Perceptual Closure Problems in Healthy Older Adults and Older Adults with Alzheimer’s Disease
Howe, Mark L.; Akhtar, Shazia (2024-03-01)OBJECTIVE: The present study set out to investigate whether false memories for pictures exhibit priming effects in older adult controls (OACs) and people with early onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). We conducted two studies ... -
Turning the other lobe: : Directional biases in brain diagrams
Wiseman, Richard; Owen, Adrian M. (2017-06-01)Past research shows that in drawn or photographic portraits, people are significantly more likely to be posed facing to their right than their left. We examined whether the same type of bias exists among sagittal images ... -
Unchained memory: Error patterns rule out chaining models of immediate serial recall
Henson, R. N. A.; Norris, D. G.; Page, M.P.A.; Baddeley, A.D. (1996-02)Many models of serial recall assume a chaining mechanism whereby each item associatively evokes the next in sequence. Chaining predicts that, when sequences comprise alternating confusable and non-confusable items, confusable ... -
A unified framework for immediate serial recall, Hebb effects, and the learning of phonological word-forms

Use of neural networks in brain SPECT to diagnose Alzheimer's disease
Page, M.P.A.; Howard, R. J.; O'Brien, J. T.; Burton Thomas, M. S.; Pickering, A. D. (1996-02)The usefulness of artificial neural networks in the classification of Tc-99m-HMPAO SPECT axial brain scans was investigated in a study group of Alzheimer's disease patients and age-matched normal subjects. Methods: The ... -

Verbalization and problem solving: insight and spatial factors
Gilhooly, K.; Fioratou, E.; Henretty, N. (2010)Two groups of participants attempted eight examples of each of four different problem types formed by combining insight v. non-insight and verbal v. spatial factors. The groups were given different verbalization instructions ... -
What are Autobiographical Memories? A reply to Bauer, Baker-Ward, Krøjgaard, Peterson, and Wang (2019)
Akhtar, Shazia; Justice, Lucy.V; Morrison, Catriona M.; Conway, Martin A.; Howe, Mark L. (2019-09-01)Bauer, et al. (2019) argue that Akhtar et al. (2018) state that infants and young children have no memory. But what we actually argued is that infants and young children do not in the main have conceptually rich autobiographical ... -
Why are we not flooded by involuntary thoughts about the past and future? Testing the cognitive inhibition dependency hypothesis
Barzykowski, Krystian; Radel, Remi; Niedzwienska, Agnieszka; Kvavilashvili, Lia (2019-06-01)In everyday life, involuntary thoughts about future plans and events occur as often as involuntary thoughts about the past.
