The disruptive effects of pain on the early allocation of attentional resources: An attentional blink study (2021)
Journal Article

Background: Recent evidence suggests that pain dampens attentional processes. However, much of this work has been based on higher-order attentional tasks that involve only spatial attention. Other aspects of the process through which pain engages and... Read More about The disruptive effects of pain on the early allocation of attentional resources: An attentional blink study.

Strategic eye movements are used to support object authentication (2019)
Journal Article

Authentication is an important cognitive process used to determine whether one’s initial identification of an object is corroborated by additional sensory information. Although authentication is critical for safe interaction with many objects, includ... Read More about Strategic eye movements are used to support object authentication.

The utility of multiple synthesized views in the recognition of unfamiliar faces (2017)
Journal Article

The ability to recognize an unfamiliar individual on the basis of prior exposure to a photograph is notoriously poor and prone to errors, but recognition accuracy is improved when multiple photographs are available. In applied situations, when only l... Read More about The utility of multiple synthesized views in the recognition of unfamiliar faces.

Attentional modulation of the carry over of eye-movements between tasks (2016)
Journal Article

Task demands that influence scanning behaviour in one task can cause that behaviour to persist to a second unrelated task (carry over). This can also affect performance on a second task (e.g., hazard perception ratings), and has been attributed to a...

Cognitive mechanisms associated with auditory sensory gating (2015)
Journal Article

Sensory gating is a neurophysiological measure of inhibition that is characterised by a reduction in the P50 event-related potential to a repeated identical stimulus. The objective of this work was to determine the cognitive mechanisms that relate to... Read More about Cognitive mechanisms associated with auditory sensory gating.

Learning faces: Similar comparator faces do not improve performance (2015)
Journal Article

Recent evidence indicates that comparison of two similar faces can aid subsequent discrimination between them. However, the fact that discrimination between two faces is facilitated by comparing them directly does not demonstrate that comparison prod...

Perceptual learning with complex visual stimuli is based on location, rather than content, of discriminating features (2013)
Journal Article

Exposure to complex checkerboards (comprising a common background, e.g., X, with unique features,e.g., A-D, that are placed in particular locations on the background) improves discrimination between them (perceptual learning). Such stimuli have been... Read More about Perceptual learning with complex visual stimuli is based on location, rather than content, of discriminating features.
