Many studies have suggested that typical lateralisation for emotion processing tasks, such as facial emotion recognition, is lateralised to the right-hemisphere, with different emotions eliciting differing strengths of lateralisation (Bourne, 2010).…

Implicit mentalising involves the automatic awareness of the perspectives of those around oneself. Its development is crucial to successful social functioning and joint action. However, the domain specificity of implicit mentalising is debated. The…

There is a huge amount of complex information about visual stimuli in the environment and the individual's visual processing system has a limited capacity to process this information, so selective attentional mechanisms prioritise the most…

Knowledge of one’s body size is vital to be able to accurately judge an object’s size. For example, knowing the length of your arm is crucial to estimating the maximum distance reachable. Accurate perception of action capabilities is the result…

Implicit mentalising involves the automatic awareness of the perspectives of those around oneself. Its development is crucial to successful social functioning and joint action. However, the domain specificity of implicit mentalising is debated. The…

In multisensory integration, the time range within which visual and auditory information can be perceived as synchronous and bound together is known as the temporal binding window (TBW). With increasing age, the TBW becomes wider, such that older…

Difficult listening conditions can result in a decrease in our ability to successfully discriminate speech. In these conditions, the visual system assists with speech perception through lipreading. Stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) is used to…

It is unclear whether active strategy or passive strategy is used and whether the Hebb effect is elicited in the running memory task. The aim of this study was to explore the input mechanism and the Hebb effect in the running memory task via a…

Emotion regulation has been shown in a number of studies to be related to sleep, which often suggested that good sleep quality leads to better emotion regulation. However, research which has empirically documented the link between individuals’…

“Theory of Mind” (ToM) refers to an ability, which allows us to understand what other people may believe, think, know, feel. Also, ToM is considered to play an essential role in social interaction. Evidence suggests that improved ability to…
