Event-related potential correlates of encoding and retrieval processes in human memory
(University of St Andrews, 1990-03-09) - ThesisIn electrophysiological research over the last few years there has been a growing tendency to utilise the Event-Related Potential as a tool in the study of cognitive processes, especially those which are well defined ... -
Laminar contributions of superficial lateral entorhinal cortex to episodic memory
(University of St Andrews, 2018-07) - ThesisEpisodic memory relies on the hippocampus and its surrounding cortical network. The superficial layers of the entorhinal cortex provide substantial input to the hippocampus within this network. Recent evidence suggests ... -
Targeting benefits and interactions in multisensory processing : a novel modelling framework for exploring the redundant signal effect
(University of St Andrews, 2019-06-28) - ThesisAn overarching goal of multisensory research is to understand the rules by which multiple sensory signals are combined to produce behavioural benefits. One example of a multisensory benefit is that response times (RTs) to ... -
Cooperation and teaching in the context of cumulative culture
(University of St Andrews, 2019-06-28) - ThesisCumulative culture enables humans to shape their niche and to live in extreme environments. To understand the factors enabling cumulative culture, we need to understand which cognitive abilities support it, how they ... -
