Eaton, Nicolette C.; Sheehan, Hanna Marie; Quinlan, Elizabeth M. – Learning & Memory, 2016
The severe amblyopia induced by chronic monocular deprivation is highly resistant to reversal in adulthood. Here we use a rodent model to show that recovery from deprivation amblyopia can be achieved in adults by a two-step sequence, involving enhancement of synaptic plasticity in the visual cortex by dark exposure followed immediately by visual…

Carter Leno, Virginia; Vitoratou, Silia; Kent, Rachel; Charman, Tony; Chandler, Susie; Jones, Catherine RG; Happé, Francesca; Baird, Gillian; Pickles, Andrew; Simonoff, Emily – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
Many young people with autism spectrum disorder display 'challenging behaviours', characterised by externalising behaviour and self-injurious behaviours. These behaviours can have a negative impact on a young person's well-being, family environment and educational achievement. However, the development of effective interventions requires greater…

Norton, Daniel J.; McBain, Ryan K.; Ongur, Dost; Chen, Yue – Brain and Cognition, 2011
Schizophrenia patients exhibit perceptual and cognitive deficits, including in visual motion processing. Given that cognitive systems depend upon perceptual inputs, improving patients' perceptual abilities may be an effective means of cognitive intervention. In healthy people, motion perception can be enhanced through perceptual learning, but it…

Lind, Sophie E.; Bowler, Dermot M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2010
It is widely assumed that children with autism have a diminished understanding of the perception-knowledge relationship, as a specific manifestation of a theory of mind (ToM) impairment. However, such a conclusion may not be justified on the basis of previous studies, which have suffered from significant methodological weaknesses. The current…

Dilks, Daniel D.; Hoffman, James E.; Landau, Barbara – Developmental Science, 2008
Evidence suggests that visual processing is divided into the dorsal ("how") and ventral ("what") streams. We examined the normal development of these streams and their breakdown under neurological deficit by comparing performance of normally developing children and Williams syndrome individuals on two tasks: a visually guided action ("how") task,…

Butcher, Phillipa R.; Kalverboer, Alex F.; Geuze, Reint H.; Stremmelaar, Elizabeth F. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2002
Investigated shifts of gaze to peripheral targets in full-term and very preterm infants with transient periventricular echogenicity, a type of short-term brain damage, between 6-26 weeks old. Found that differences between full- and preterm infants was small, but after 16 weeks, there were subtle differences between them as preterms took longer to…
