There are four sets of experiments in this collection. The experiments in SET1 were designed to allow us to measure and compare the sizes of potential costs of a switch between...

None specified We conducted three experiments to test between these two accounts of interhemispheric communication. In each of these experiments, we controlled where the...

Educational neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field, informed by educational theory and neuroscience. Educational neuroscientists employ electrophysiological and brain...

How do we learn sequences? In some cases people may be aware of the rules that determine a sequence (eg traffic lights), in others not (eg as the current song on a CD ends,...

The NANA programme of research took place over four years and comprised 42 studies organised into three phases: (1) User Needs analysis (studies 1-13); (2) Development of...

Recent advances in developmental cognitive neuroscience suggest a link between executive functions (EF) and school achievement, above and beyond the contributions of...

DCAL is the largest deafness and sign language research centre in Europe, bringing together leading Deaf and hearing researchers in the fields of sign linguistics, psychology,...

The main aim of this research project was to develop a cross-platform custom app to assess a wide range of higher cognitive processes in adults and to monitor how they change...

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...

Providing eyewitness testimony involves monitoring one’s memory to provide a detailed and accurate account: reporting details likely to be accurate and withholding potentially...

It has been suggested that readers spend a great deal of time skim reading on the Web and that this type of reading can affect comprehension of text. Across 2 experiments, we...

Data collected by twelve co-researchers depicting their perspective on toilets across the country. The co-researchers took multiple photos and described their experience of...

These data stem from five large studies examining the relation between episodic future thinking and delay of gratification in preschoolers, children, and adolescents. Study 1...

STUDY ABSTRACT: This study examined whether preparation and performance can affect our upcoming behaviour in different ways, by examining different types of switch cost...

This project investigated the effect of paralysis of the eyes on visuospatial cognition. Specifically, we explored whether the vertical gaze palsy associated with a rare...

Backward inhibition has been posited to aid our ability to switch between tasks by counteracting the tendency to repeat a recently performed task. Evidence suggests that...

Growing evidence shows that theta-band (4-7Hz) activity in the auditory cortex phase-locks to rhythms of overt speech. Does theta activity also encode the rhythmic dynamics of...

In adults, words are more effective than sounds at activating conceptual representations. We aimed to replicate these findings and extend them to infants. In a series of...

93 children between 7 and 11 years were recruited from under-privileged areas in Edinburgh, Scotland. Pre- and post-tests focused on executive function skills through tests of...
