Article
Art Therapists have long been aware of the intersubjective complexities that are evoked in art therapy in relation to images, art-making and their attendant processes. These have often been understood with reference to the psychodynamic concepts of transference and countertransference. In this paper we ask, what happens to these processes when art...
Article
This article discusses the relevance of liminality for art therapy and childhood sexual abuse. ‘Liminality’ comes from the Latin word limen and refers to our encounters with, and experiences of, thresholds. Social anthropologists have studied liminality in the context of rite-of-passage rituals that commonly mark social and personal transitions, fo...
Article
Capturing the views of service users is now seen as an essential component of the quality assurance process. The challenge is to capture these views in a meaningful way. Marie Curie Hospice Edinburgh used an art-based approach known as ‘Graffiti Boards’ to elicit feedback. A Graffiti Board1 is a billboard to which participants are invited to add a...
Article
We report an experiment that examined whether children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) spontaneously converge, or align, syntactic structure with a conversational partner. Children with ASD were more likely to produce a passive structure to describe a picture after hearing their interlocutor use a passive structure to describe an unrelated pi...

A visual semantic categorization task in English was performed by native English speakers (Experiments 1) and bilinguals whose first language was Japanese (Experiments 2) or Spanish (Experiment 3). In the critical conditions, the target word was a homophone of a correct category exemplar (e.g., A BODY OF WATER – SEE) or a word that differed from th...
Article
The methods literature on research with children recognises the challenges of negotiating informed consent with this group. Special ‘child-friendly’ techniques are advocated to overcome these challenges. We argue that, upon closer inspection, research with children foregrounds more fundamental problems with informed consent that are not easily reso...

To test the hypothesis that native language (L1) phonology can affect the lexical representations of nonnative words, a visual semantic-relatedness decision task in English was given to native speakers and nonnative speakers whose L1 was Japanese or Arabic. In the critical conditions, the word pair contained a homophone or near-homophone of a seman...
Article
For lexical-gustatory synaesthetes, words trigger automatic, associated food sensations (e.g., for JB, the word slope tastes of over-ripe melon). Our study tests two claims about this unusual condition: that synaesthetic tastes are associated with abstract levels of word representation (concepts/lemmas), and that the first tastes to crystallise in...
Article
What affects speakers' production of ambiguous utterances in dialogue? They might consider ease of production for themselves, or ease of comprehension for their addressees. Previous research has demonstrated that ease of production plays a role in speakers' syntactic choices, but that ease of comprehension does not. However, such studies have not e...
Article
Three eye-tracking experiments using the ‘visual-world’ paradigm are described that explore the basis by which thematic dependencies can be evaluated in advance of linguistic input that unambiguously signals those dependencies. Following Altmann and Kamide (1999), who found that selectional information conveyed by a verb can be used to anticipate a...

We investigate the influence of two processes on noun phrase production during a referential communication task: priming (co-ordination) and audience design (co-operation). Participants played a collaborative game that involved describing picture cards (Experiment 1) or wooden blocks (Experiment 2). They interacted with a confederate who was script...

Current models of Human Sentence Processing fall into two broad categories: Constraint Satisfaction accounts, which emphasise the immediate access of the comprehension processes to detailed linguistic information as parsing progresses (e.g., MacDonald et al., 1994), and Syntax First accounts, which hold that parsing is essentially a two-stage proce...
