About individual differences in vision
(Pergamon Press, 2017)In cognition, audition, and somatosensation, performance strongly correlates between different para-digms, which suggests the existence of common factors. In contrast, visual performance in seeminglyvery similar tasks, ... -
Adolescent risk-taking as a function of prenatal cocaine exposure and biological sex
(Elsevier Inc., 2014)Objective: To examine the effects of prenatal cocaine exposure and biological sex on adolescent risk-taking while controlling for early environmental risk. Methods: Adolescents (n. = 114, mean age. = 16) were grouped ... -
Adolescents’ expectations for types of victim retaliation following direct bullying
(Springer, 2022-11-23)Little is known about adolescents’ expectations around how victims of bullying might retaliate following victimization. These expectations are important as they may inform adolescent’s own behaviors, particularly intervention ... -
Age 4 transitions: Reflection as a domain-general development for explicit reasoning
(Elsevier Ltd, 2021-07)The literature provides many examples of important developments across different social and cognitive domains at around age 4. Based on an action-based approach to cognition - interactivism - we argue that the changes ... -
Age-related synapse loss in hippocampal CA3 is not reversed by caloric restriction
(Pergamon Press, 2010)Caloric restriction (CR) is a reduction of total caloric intake without a decrease in micronutrients or a disproportionate reduction of any one dietary component. While CR attenuates age-related cognitive deficits in tasks ... -
Aging alters the molecular dynamics of synapses in a sexually dimorphic pattern in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(Elsevier, 2017-06)The zebrafish has become a popular model for studying normal brain aging due to its large fecundity, conserved genome, and available genetic tools; but little data exists about neurobiological age-related alterations. The ... -
Aging, neurogenesis, and caloric restriction in different model organisms
(International Society on Aging and Disease, 2013)Brain aging is a multifactorial process that is occurring across multiple cognitive domains. A significant complaint that occurs in the elderly is a decrement in learning and memory ability. Both rodents and zebrafish ... -
Architecture and mental disorders: A systematic study of peer-reviewed literature
(Sage Publications, 2020)Objectives: To perform a systematic study about the contribution of architecture and interior design researchers in studying the effect of physical environment on mental disorders. Background: Mental disorders are a major ... -
Assessment of whole-brain white matter by DTI in autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of charlevoix-saguenay
(American Society of Neuroradiology, 2013)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Extension and characteristics of WM involvement other than the brain stem remain inadequately investigated in ARSACS. The aim of this study was to investigate whole-brain WM alterations in patients ... -
The Association between familial risk and brain abnormalities Is disease specific: an ENIGMA-relatives study of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder
(Elsevier, 2019)Abstract Background Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder share genetic liability, and some structural brain abnormalities are common to both conditions. First-degree relatives of patients with schizophrenia (FDRs-SZ) show ... -
Associations between psychosis endophenotypes across brain functional, structural, and cognitive domains
(Cambridge University Press, 2018)Background A range of endophenotypes characterise psychosis, however there has been limited work understanding if and how they are inter-related.Methods This multi-centre study includes 8754 participants: 2212 people with ... -
Attachment (in)security and threat priming influence signal detection performance
(Sage Publications, Inc., 2018)This study examined whether the subliminal priming of threat and attachment figure availability interfere with cognitive attentional performance in conditions of uncertainty among individuals with differing attachment ... -
Attention modulates neuronal correlates of interhemispheric integration and global motion perception
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology Inc., 2014)In early retinotopic areas of the human visual system, information from the left and right visual hemifields (VHFs) is processed contralaterally in two hemispheres. Despite this segregation, we have the perceptual experience ... -
Attention-dependent representation of a size illusion in human V1
(Cell Press, 2008)One of the most fundamental properties of human primary visual cortex (V1) is its retinotopic organization, which makes it an ideal candidate for encoding spatial properties, such as size, of objects. However, three-dimensional ... -
Attentional bias to threat-related information among individuals with dental complaints: The role of pain expectancy
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2018)Expecting pain can be perceived as a threat may involve recruitment of cognitive strategies (such as attentional avoidance) which might help the person to reduce distress. The ecological validity of the paradigms aiming ... -
Attentional modulations of audiovisual interactions in apparent motion: Temporal ventriloquism effects on perceived visual speed
(Springer New York LLC, 2022-08-22)The timing of brief stationary sounds has been shown to alter different aspects of visual motion, such as speed estimation. These effects of auditory timing have been explained by temporal ventriloquism and auditory dominance ... -
Audiovisual associations alter the perception of low-level visual motion
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015)Motion perception is a pervasive nature of vision and is affected by both immediate pattern of sensory inputs and prior experiences acquired through associations. Recently, several studies reported that an association can ... -
Begin-of-school-year perceived autonomy-support and structure as predictors of end-of-school-year study efforts and procrastination: the mediating role of autonomous and controlled motivation
(Routledge, 2018)In this prospective study, we recruited a sample of Belgian adolescents (N = 886) to investigate to what extent perceived teachers’ motivating style relates to quality of motivation in the beginning of the school year and, ... -
Better relationships shut the wandering eye: sociosexual orientation mediates the association between relationship quality and infidelity intentions
(Sage Publications, 2021-04)People who lack quality relationships are more likely to engage in infidelity but how relationship quality is associated with infidelity is less clear. One psychological mechanism that might help to explain these associations ...
