Category specific naming the visual properties of line drawn stimuli
(2002)
It has been argued that greater intra-category structural similarity for living things may make them more difficult to recognize and name (e.g. Humphreys et al., 1988). Nevertheless, the precise meaning and quantification ...
A domain specific deficit for foodstuffs in patients with Alzheimer's disease
(2002)
Although some studies have reported a category specific naming deficit in Alzheimer’s patients (invariably for living things), others have failed to replicate this finding (Laws et al., in press). Inconsistencies may partly ...

Reported sleep patterns in obsessive compulsive disorder
(2002)
Previous studies of sleep disturbance in OCD have produced contradictory findings. This may be due to different methodological approaches but may also reflect the fact that many studies have not screened OCD patients for ...
The effect of 'masking' on picture naming
(2002)
It is frequently assumed that because compared to nonliving things, living things are less familiar, have lower name frequency, and are more visually complex, this makes them more difficult to name by patients and normal ...
Visual similarity is greater for line drawings of nonliving than living things: The importance of musical instruments and body-parts
(2002)
It has been argued that greater intra-category structural similarity for living things, and the subsequent ‘‘visual crowding,’’ makes them more difficult to recognize and name for neurologically damaged individuals and ...
How does the threshold score to enter a major depression trial influence the size of the available patient population for study?
(2002)
Background: This paper describes the relationship between entry criteria and eligible population for inclusion in Major Depression (MD) clinical trials. Inclusion criteria for a MD study typically require patients to pass ...
Defining remission by cut off score on the MADRS : selecting the optimal value
(2002)
Background: Remission from major depression may be conceptualised in terms of a cut-off score on an appropriate rating scale. Candidate values proposed hitherto have not been directly validated. Method: The relationship ...
Why are our similarities so different A reply to Humphreys and Riddoch
(2002)
Humphreys and Riddoch (2002: hereafter, H&R) entitle their commentary on Laws and Gale (2002) with the following question: “Do pixel level analyses describe psychological perceptual similarity”? (We will use the term ...
