The focus of attention in working memory
Working memory is the part of the cognitive system that holds the information we are currently thinking about. Thinking often involves the mental manipulation of one mental... -
Why unidimensional identification is so poor: modelling a core cognitive limit
Our ability to recognise and identify or categorise stimuli underlies almost all of our interaction with the world. We identify and categorise items many times each day. For... -
Early childhood development: Identifying successful interventions and the mec...
A key aim of this research is to identify cost-effective and sustainable interventions to promote early childhood development. We will implement two interventions in rural... -
Experimental data on time and interventions in children's causal structure le...
Experimental data measuring the cues that children and adults use to figure out causal structure, and more specifically to explore whether there are changes with age in the... -
Experimental data on reasoning and cue competition effects in causal learning...
Data resulting from three sets of experiments with children to assess cue competition effects of blocking in causal learning using a purpose-built toy robot. Learning about... -
Investigation of contrast effects in children with autism 2009-2011
Categorization decisions that reflect constantly changing memory representations may be an important adaptive response to dynamic environments. We assessed one such influence... -
How do readers code letter position
In order to read successfully, readers need not only to identify the letters in words, but also to accurately code the positions of those letters, so that they can distinguish... -
Age-related changes in attentional control across adolescence
This study set out to establish the novel use of the go/no-go Overlap task for investigating the role of attentional control capacities in the processing of emotional... -
Cross-cultural study of family influences on executive functions in late chil...
Recent advances in developmental cognitive neuroscience suggest a link between executive functions (EF) and school achievement, above and beyond the contributions of... -
Navigation and wayfinding in typical development, Down syndrome and Williams ...
The development of environmental learning begins with knowledge of landmarks (e.g. a park bench, a specific building like the local newsagents, or a church spire) along a route.... -
Skills underlying mathematics: Executive functions and components of mathematics
This data collection contains data from a large battery of mathematics and executive function tasks administered to a sample of 403 participants aged between 5 and 25 years of... -
Behavioural and eyetracking data using the Director task
The data consist of response times and accuracies, and eye movement parameters (e.g., latency to final fixation) from human participants during a series of laboratory tasks. The... -
The role of regret in decision making: A developmental study
This data set is comprised of six folders containing eight data files each of which contains data from an experiment (or set of experiments) designed to investigate the role... -
Component processes of human face perception in typical and atypical individuals
These are the behavioural data from the main experiments conducted in this research project, with participants with developmental prosopagnosia (DP) and age-matched control... -
One step ahead: Prediction of other people's behavior in healthy and autistic...
The data collection contains the data for five independent publications, published as part of the ESRC grant “One step ahead: Prediction of other people's behavior in healthy... -

Skills underlying mathematics: When is working memory important for arithmeti...
This study investigated the extent to which working memory requirements for different arithmetic strategies changes with age between 9 years and young adulthood. The impact of... -
The cognitive and interactional causes of regularity in language
This data set contains data for three studies (each involving several experiments) looking at the cognitive and interactional mechanisms that underlie regularisation in... -
Characterising emotion regulation development in adolescence
The dataset comprises experimental data from several studies investigating the development of emotion regulation during adolescence, and the relation between emotion regulation... -
Skills underlying mathematics: When is working memory important for arithmetic
This study investigated the extent to which working memory requirements for different arithmetic strategies changes with age between 9 years and young adulthood. The impact of...
