Interpreting single trial data using groupwise regularisation.
9 Mar 2009 
Univariate statistical approaches are often used for the analysis of neuroimaging data but are unable to detect subtle interactions between different components of brain activity. In contrast, multivariate approaches that use classification as a ...

Effects of action on children's and adults' mental imagery.
8 Mar 2009 The aim of this study was to investigate whether and which aspects of a concurrent motor activity can facilitate children's and adults' performance in a dynamic imagery task. Children (5-, 7-, and 9-year-olds) and adults were asked to tilt empty ...

8 Mar 2009 Motor imagery is thought to involve the same processes of movement preparation as actual movement. Imagination of a simple repetitive movement significantly decreased the firing rate of extracellular micro recording at sensorimotor neurons of globus ...

Mar 2009 A comprehensive, methodologically informed review of studies of the effectiveness of hypnosis for reducing procedure-related pain in children and adolescents is provided. To be included in the review, studies were required to use a between-subjects ...

Headache sufferers' drawings reflect distress, disability and illness perceptions.
Mar 2009 OBJECTIVE: Drawings have recently been used with patients with heart problems to assess their perceptions of their illness. This study aimed to investigate whether drawings could be a useful way to assess headache patients' perceptions of their ...

Does differential strategy use account for age-related deficits in working-memory performance?
27 Feb 2009 The strategy-deficit hypothesis states that age differences in the use of effective strategies contribute to age-related deficits in working memory span performance. To evaluate this hypothesis, strategy use was measured with set-by-set strategy ...

27 Feb 2009 The present work considers the mental imaging of faces, with a focus in own-face imaging. Experiments 1 and 3 demonstrated an own-face disadvantage, with slower generation of mental images of one's own face than of other familiar faces. In contrast, ...

Domain generality and specificity in children's causal inference about ambiguous data.
27 Feb 2009 In 5 experiments the authors examined children's understanding of causal mechanisms and their reasoning about base rates across domains of knowledge. Experiment 1 showed that 3-year-olds interpret objects activating a machine differently from a ...

Do children perceive postural constraints when estimating reach or action planning?
27 Feb 2009 Estimation of whether an object is reachable from a specific body position constitutes an important aspect in effective motor planning. Researchers who estimate reachability by way of motor imagery with adults consistently report the tendency to ...
