Safety and/or hazard near miss reporting in an international energy company
(2011)This paper presents the preliminary progress of an industry driven programme to improve the data monitoring of safety/hazard near miss reporting from front line staff of a branch of a multinational energy supply company ... -
A Safety impact quantification approach for early stage innovative aviation concepts: Application to a third pilot adaptive automation concept
(EU Commision, 2016)This paper presents a straightforward approach for safety impact quantification of innovative aviation concepts in early development stages. The safety impact quantification approach provides ... -
Salivary cortisol levels and challenging behavior in children with autism spectrum disorder
(2015)A relationship between stress and challenging behavior in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has been theorized but infrequently examined empirically. The current study sought to examine the relationship between ... -
Science is the search for generalizable processes - clinicians solve complex problems: A reply to Wilson on the importance of not confusing these two things
(Cambridge University Press, 2005)Barbara Wilson is a creative and influential clinician?scientist who has dedicated her working life to finding ways to rehabilitate brain-damaged people in all the confusing complexity of their damaged brains and lives. ... -
Second Level Education and Autism Spectrum Disorder: An Exploration of Peer, Parent and Teacher Experiences
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Psychology. Discipline of Psychology, 2018)Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are extensively reported to find the experience of secondary school challenging. Few studies have informed on this in detail, particularly considering social and behavioural ... -
Segregation of parallel inputs to the anteromedial and anteroventral thalamic nuclei of the rat
(2013)Many brain structures project to both the anteroven tral thalamic nucleus and the anteromedial thalamic nucleus. In the present stud y, pairs of different tracers were placed into these two thalamic sites in the same ... -
A selective effect of parietal damage on letter identification in mixed case words.
(Elsevier, 2007)We investigated the reading of cAsE mIxInG and contrast reduction on word reading in patients with unilateral parietal lesions and attentional deficits. We show that, compared with control participants, the patients produce ... -
Self in Schizophrenia: A Discourse Analysis
(2008)Objectives: Lysaker and Lysaker (2002) employ a dialogical theory of self in their writings on self disruption in schizophrenia. It is argued here that this theory could be enriched by incorporating a discursive and ... -
Sensory cue interactions in person perception : insights from ageing and developmental prosopagnosia
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Psychology, 2015)A large body of behavioural and neuropsychological research, using static images of faces, has informed our understanding of the mechanisms underlying identity processing. Indeed, pioneering studies revealed dedicated ... -
Serial attention within working memory.
(Psychonomic Society, 1998)It is proposed that people are limited to attending to just one ?object? in working memory (WM) at any one time. Consequently, many cognitive tasks, and much of everyday thought, necessitate switches between WM items. ... -
Shaping the Effects of Associative Brain Stimulation by Contractions of the Opposite Limb.
(2018)There has been an explosion of interest in methods that may promote neural plasticity by indirectly stimulating tissue in damaged brains using transient magnetic fields or weak electrical currents. A major limitation of ... -
Shaping the Future of Work in Financial Services Enterprises
(2020)Zarion and a team of researchers from the Trinity School of Psychology and School of Business are undertaking research about the future of work and the requirements for new intelligent work systems. This research is being ... -
Single unit activity in the subiculum of freely-moving rats : spatial and non-spatial correlates
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Psychology, 2001)Compared with the research effort directed at the hippocampus the subiculum has received little experimental attention despite being one synapse downstream of area CAI and in a position to influence many cortical areas ... -
A Socio-Technical Exploration for Reducing & Mitigating the Risk of Retained Foreign Objects
(2018)A Retained Foreign Object (RFO) is a fairly infrequent but serious adverse event. An accurate rate of RFOs is difficult to establish due to underreporting but it has been estimated that incidences range between 1/1000 and ... -
The sound-induced flash illusion reveals dissociable age-related effects in multisensory integration.
(2014)While aging can lead to significant declines in perceptual and cognitive function, the effects of age on multisensory integration, the process in which the brain combines information across the senses, are less clear. ... -
The "special effect" of case mixing on word identification: neuropsychological and transcranial magnetic stimulation studies dissociating case mixing from contrast reduction
(MIT Press, 2006)We present neuropsychological evidence and evidence from transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with normal readers, that the effects of case mixing and contrast reduction on word identification are qualitatively different. ...
