‘Being kinder to myself ’: a prospective comparative study, exploring post-trauma therapy outcome measures, for two groups of clients, receiving either Cognitive Behaviour Therapy or Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Compassionate Mind Training (2012)
Journal Article
Therapy and Compassionate Mind Training. Review - British Psychological Society. Counselling Psychology Section, 27(1), 31-43

Background/Aims/Objectives: This prospective, comparative outcome study was designed to contrast the relative impact of differing therapeutic interventions for trauma victims, carried out by the same therapist. Methods/Methodology: A non-random con...

Object affordance and spatial-compatibility effects in Parkinson’s disease (2011)
Journal Article
Parkinson’s disease. Cortex, 47(3), 332-341. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2010.01.011

Movement in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is strongly influenced by sensory stimuli. Here, we investigated two features of visual stimuli known to affect response times in healthy individuals; the spatial location of an object (the spatial effect) and its...

Exploring visuomotor priming following biological and non-biological stimuli (2010)

Observation of human actions influences the observer’s own motor system, termed visuomotor priming, and is believed to be caused by automatic activation of mirror neurons. Evidence suggests that priming effects are larger for biological (human) as op... Read More about Exploring visuomotor priming following biological and non-biological stimuli.

Does Parkinson’s disease affect judgement about another person’s action? (2010)
Journal Article
person’s action?. Experimental Brain Research, 204(3), 327-331. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-009-1976-1

The observer’s motor system has been shown to be involved in observing the actions of another person. Recent findings suggest that people with Parkinson’s disease do not show the same motor facilitatory effects when observing the actions of another p...

Sensing without seeing in comparative visual search (2008)
Journal Article

Rensink [Rensink, R. A. (2004). Visual sensing without seeing. Psychological Science, 15(1), 27–32] has presented evidence suggesting visual changes may be sensed without an accompanying visual experience. Here, we report two experiments in which we...

Change blindness in driving scenes
Journal Article
Galpin, A., Underwood, G., & Crundall, D. Change blindness in driving scenes. Transportation Research Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour, 12(2), 179-185. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trf.2008.11.002

One of the key perceptual errors that contributes to accidents on the road is ‘looking but failing to see’. Though this has previously been attributed to failures of attention or time gaps, the recent change blindness literature suggests another alte... Read More about Change blindness in driving scenes.
