Cultivating thought-full and creative thinkers: A comment on quality merging Costa with Claxton et al.
(Elsevier, 2006-05-15)The two keynote papers in the first issue of Thinking Skills and Creativity provide significant food for thought. Working to teach thinking skills and creativity is a real challenge. Many university professors shadow this ... -
Defining perceptual synchrony
(Kijima Printing Co., 2007)How does neuronal activity bring about the interpretation of visual space in terms of objects or complex perceptual events? If they group, simple visual features can bring about the integration of spikes from neurons ... -
Delay in seeking medical help following transient ischemic attack (TIA) or "Mini-Stroke": a qualitative study
(Public Library of Science, 2014-08-19)Background: Prompt treatment following Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) can reduce the risk of subsequent stroke and disability. However, many patients delay in making contact with medical services. This study aimed to ... -
Developing behaviour-based solutions that last: Examples from industry.
(Irish Ergonomics Society, 2011)Organizational behaviour management (OBM) is an approach to enhancing the performance of organizations. Based originally on the theories of B. F. Skinner and other psychologists, OBM practitioners ... -
Development of a feasible implementation fidelity protocol within a complex physical therapy-led self-management intervention
(Oxford University Press, 2016-08-01)Implementation fidelity is poorly addressed within physical therapy interventions, which may be due to limited research on how to develop and implement an implementation fidelity protocol. The purpose of this study was ... -
Dimensionality and reliability assessment of the Pain Patient Profile questionnaire

Divided attention in older but not younger adults is impaired by anxiety
(Taylor and Francis, 2003)It has been hypothesized that the disruptive effects of negative emotional states, such as anxiety and depression, may contribute to poorer performance in older age. Some studies have reported that higher levels of anxiety ... -
Do single and multiple behavior change interventions contain different behavior change techniques? A comparison of interventions targeting physical activity in obese populations
(American Psychological Association, 2015-09)Objective: Interventions to increase physical activity can target this behavior alone or as part of multiple health behavior change (MHBC) interventions. To date little is known about the content of MHBC interventions as ... -
Does mindfulness enhance critical thinking? Evidence for the mediating effects of executive functioning in the relationship between mindfulness and critical thinking
(Frontiers Media, 2016-01-19)Mindfulness originated in the Buddhist tradition as a way of cultivating clarity of thought. Despite the fact that this behavior is best captured using critical thinking (CT) assessments, no studies have examined the effects ... -
Dynamic Protention: the architecture of real-time cognition for future events
(Springer, Cham, 2019)For over thirty years now a body of physiological evidence has been acquired which indicates that cognitive operations coordinate via the phase synchronization of neuronal firing. While usually ascribed to ‘binding’, i.e. ... -
The dynamics of operations in visual memory: A review and new evidence for oscillatory priming
(Hogrefe & Huber, 2004-10)Evidence from neurophysiological studies indicates that the synchronization of distributed neuronal assemblies in the gamma frequency range is responsible for the integration of discrete stimulus components into coherent ... -
Dynamics of perceptual grouping: similarities between the organization of visual and auditory groups
(Taylor & Francis, 2001-06)In vision, the Gestalt principles of perceptual organization are generally well understood and remain a subject of detailed analysis. However, the possibility for a unified theory of grouping across visual and auditory ... -
The dynamics of visual experience, an EEG Study of subjective pattern formation
(Public Library of Science, 2012-01-06)Background: Since the origin of psychological science a number of studies have reported visual pattern formation in the absence of either physiological stimulation or direct visual-spatial references. Subjective patterns ... -

The Effect of Stimulus Salience on Over-selectivity
(Springer, 2009)The influence of stimulus salience on over-selective responding was investigated in the context of a comparator theory of over-selectivity. In Experiments 1 and 2, participants were presented with two cards, each displaying ... -
Effective design of total worker health interventions for lone workers: examples and implications for the Irish context
(Irish Ergonomics Society, 2014)Workplace safety does not exist in a vacuum. Individuals come to work with a variety of advantages and disadvantages derived from their off-work activities. Extra-workplace behaviors and attitudes are likely to have greater ... -
The effects of a goal setting intervention on productivity and persistence in an analogue work task
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-02-27)The authors of this study sought to quantify the beneficial effect of goal setting on work performance, and to characterize the persistence or deterioration of goal-directed behavior over time. Twenty-six participants ...
