Impact of oscillatory tDCS targeting left prefrontal cortex on source memory retrieval.
(2018)Research on transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has grown rapidly, but there is controversy regarding whether and how tDCS could impact memory performance. We report a study that addressed this question by ... -
An in-depth cognitive examination of individuals with superior face recognition skills.
(2016-09)Previous work has reported the existence of "super-recognisers" (SRs), or individuals with extraordinary face recognition skills. However, the precise underpinnings of this ability have not yet been investigated. In this ... -
The independence of expression and identity in face-processing: evidence from neuropsychological case studies.
(2015)The processing of facial identity and facial expression have traditionally been seen as independent-a hypothesis that has largely been informed by a key double dissociation between neurological patients with a deficit in ... -
Individual differences in causal learning and decision making
(Elsevier, 2005)In judgment and decision making tasks, people tend to neglect the overall frequency of base-rates when they estimate the probability of an event; this is known as the base-rate fallacy. In causal learning, despite people ... -
Influence of prior knowledge on eye movements to scenes as revealed by hidden Markov models.
(2023-09-01)Human visual experience usually provides ample opportunity to accumulate knowledge about events unfolding in the environment. In typical scene perception experiments, however, participants view images that are unrelated ... -
Intact priors for gaze direction in autism spectrum conditions.
(2015)Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) are characterized by a range of perceptual atypicalities, including abnormalities in gaze processing. Pellicano and Burr (2012) recently proposed that perceptual atypicalities might be a ... -
Iron status in early infancy is associated with trajectories of cognitive development up to pre-school age in rural Gambia.
(2023)INTRODUCTION: Iron deficiency is among the leading risk factors for poor cognitive development. However, interventions targeting iron deficiency have had mixed results on cognitive outcomes. This may be due to previous ... -
It takes a village: Caregiver diversity and language contingency in the UK and rural Gambia.
(Elsevier, 2023-12-05)INTRODUCTION: There is substantial diversity within and between contexts globally in caregiving practices and family composition, which may have implications for the early interaction's infants engage in. We draw on data ... -
Knowledge about the recent past affects human gaze patterns

Learning, specialization, efficiency and task allocation in social insects.
(2009)One of the most spectacular features of social insect colonies is their division of labor. Although individuals are often totipotent in terms of the labor they might perform, they might persistently work as scouts, fighters, ... -
Many morphs: Parsing gesture signals from the noise.
(2024-03-04)Parsing signals from noise is a general problem for signallers and recipients, and for researchers studying communicative systems. Substantial efforts have been invested in comparing how other species encode information ...
