The Student and Postdoc Exchange Schemes provided eight Centre members with the opportunity to visit Professor Laurent Rivory leading research centres and/or laboratories, to benefit their research training, and to increase the expertise and capacity of future Australian research. The institutions that members visited included Centre members at the Department of Psychology, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK and the School of Psychological Science, The University of Western Australia, along with external collaborators at the School of Psychology and Neuroscience, University of St. Andrews, UK; the School of Psychology, Yale University, USA; Department of Psychology, Wellesley College, USA; School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences, The University of Queensland; and the Division of Neuroscience and Experimental Psychology, The University of Manchester, UK.

As the Centre operations wrap-up, it is timely to reflect on the role of the CCD Advisory Board and to make a few comments on their behalf. As a Board, we had a strong engagement and participation not only from representatives of our partner universities but also a number of key organisations such as Dementia Australia; Speech Pathology Australia; Autism Spectrum Australia; the Renwick Centre, Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children and Learning Difficulties Australia. We also benefitted from strong industry representation through

Second, it should provide built at the CCD will endure through ongoing and future ample resources for basic theoretical and empirical research activities by Centre members, as well as research as well as for translational research. From through the careers of students and postdocs who were its inception, the CCD offered unique opportunities trained at the CCD. The five CCD research programs, for interdisciplinary and international collaborative Belief Formation, Language, Memory, Person Perception research in the study of cognition and its disorders as and Reading, were initially chosen because they are well as for studies directed towards assessment and well understood from a theoretical point of view and treatment. because Australia has outstanding researchers in these areas. Research conducted by Centre members in the In 2018, the CCD had 21 Chief Investigators, 11 Partner five research programs has informed the assessment Investigators and 214 Associate Investigators. The CCD and interventions for a range of cognitive disorders, provided training and research support for 156 students, including dyslexia, specific language impairment, including 15 Honours students, 21 Masters students, autism, dementia and schizophrenia. and 120 PhD students. In addition, the CCD celebrated 39 graduations and supported 11 postdoctoral fellows I begin this year’s report by extending congratulations across the five programs of research.

It has been a privilege to serve Coltheart, Crain, Demuth, Lipp, Nickels, Rhodes) as Centre Director. It is fitting to follow my report and one is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the with a graphical summary of some of the impressive Humanities (Sutton). Centre members have also been achievements across the life of the Centre. named to several learned societies outside Australia, including one Fellow of the Global Young Academy (Rich), one Fellow of the British Academy (Coltheart), three Fellows of the Association for Psychological Professor Stephen Crain Science (Lipp, Rhodes, Thompson), one Fellow of the British Psychological Society (Rastle), and one Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (Rastle).

As a Centre Director, I could not have wished for more congenial guidance and support than I received from the three leadership groups that were responsible for the governance of the CCD; the Advisory Board, the Scientific Committee and the Research Management Committee, including the Program Leaders. Every decision by each of these groups was reached by consensus, after thoughtful and open discussion. Each member of these leadership groups played an important role in helping to create the kind of culture that fosters research excellence. I also extend thanks to the professional staff at each of the nodes of the CCD. The CCD’s outstanding professional staff provided invaluable support to researchers, postdocs and students, as well as offering so many Centre initiatives, such as the Annual Workshop, Centre grant schemes, and travel support. The important contribution by the leadership teams and professional staff are clearly reflected in comments by Centre members. Here are some representative examples of these comments:

“It has been a privilege to be affiliated with the CCD”, Partner Investigator

“It’s been such an exciting and productive centre and I am humbled to have been part of it - so many of my HDR students and post-docs have benefitted enormously because of the intellectual environment. It’s wonderful to see them thrive”, Chief Investigator

“The intellectual and financial support that I have received from the CCD as a student and early career researcher has allowed me to develop a research program of national and international relevance, and to become an independent researcher”, Associate Investigator

“The CCD has been instrumental in launching my career, and I am very grateful to be part of this wonderful, collaborative scientific community!”, Associate Investigator

6 2018 ANNUAL REPORT RESEARCH RESEARCH

BELIEF FORMATION The Belief Formation Program investigates the processes that underpin how we perceive reality, generate beliefs, monitor and evaluate evidence, and adopt and revise beliefs when needed. Disruptions to these processes can cause psychotic symptoms (e.g., delusions and hallucinations) that characterise psychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia, and present in other clinical conditions (e.g., dementia). Our aim has been to develop cognitive and neural models of these symptoms across diagnostic categories, advance understanding of related non-clinical phenomena, develop and evaluate psychological treatments, and examine social influences and consequences. We thank our researchers, collaborators, and students and provide an overview of some of our major research themes across the years of the Centre.

LANGUAGE Researchers in the Language Program investigate language development in typically developing children as well as language processing in adults. Researchers in the program also study children with specific language impairment and adults with aphasia. Research findings from the program inform our understanding of language at a theoretical level, and also provide the basis for more effective diagnosis and treatment of language impairments.

It was unclear typically developing children until now whether the delay was due to the lack of a grammatical representation (e.g., taking the ‘s’ at the end Researchers in the Language Program investigated of bus as a marker of the plural (Berko, 1958)), or due the nature of language development in children to articulatory problems in producing fricative-schwa- from 2- to 13-years-old, exploring the acquisition fricative sequences, or because this form of the plural of language contrasts in sound patterns, in word requires an unstressed additional syllable at the end of formation, in sentence structure and in sentence the word.

MEMORY The richness and variety of the work arising from the Memory Program demonstrates how dynamic research on this topic remains, with continuing discoveries more than 60 years after the seminal report of the importance of the hippocampus in human memory. Research in the Memory Program is articulated around three main aims: to develop models of human memory; to understand the brain bases of memory processing; and to translate research findings into real life applications. The first aim primarily involves investigations of memory in healthy and clinical populations across the lifespan, and also focuses on understanding the interactions between memory and other cognitive processes, including emotion, language, or executive function. The second comprises investigations that use novel neuroimaging techniques, such as MRI, EEG and MEG to identify structural and functional brain organisations that are associated with relevant memory processes. Finally, the third focuses on the translational aspects of our research (i.e., how can we use the findings arising from our research to real life situations). Here, we want to develop methods of learning, interventions, novel tests, and electronic applications that can improve the lives of individuals experiencing changes or difficulties with their memory.

Researchers in this program have tackled these aims through five main streams of research: paediatric, ageing, dementia, focal lesions and neuroimaging. The findings featured here showcase the breadth of research carried out by the Memory Program over the years, as well as highlighting the potential translational impact of findings that have clinical relevance, either for our understanding of brain disorders or because of their applicability in clinical settings and interventions.

PERSON PERCEPTION The Person Perception Program investigates how we extract, process and use information about other people. These abilities are critical to guiding everyday social interactions. Subtle cues to identity, gender, ethnicity, age, attractiveness, emotional state and focus of attention are effortlessly read from the face, body and voice. The focus of our research is on understanding the perceptual, cognitive, neural and evolutionary mechanisms underlying this impressive expertise, how these mechanisms emerge through development, and how these mechanisms might develop and function differently in people with neurodevelopmental disorders.

A fundamental aim of the program has been to discover Typically, recognition of other-race faces is poorer than which perceptual mechanisms enable children and recognition of own-race faces. This ‘other-race effect’ adults to make judgements about faces. Taking face can have devastating consequences. For instance, a identity recognition as an example, at least two high proportion of wrongfully imprisoned people who mechanisms are important: holistic and adaptive coding were later exonerated by DNA evidence were convicted (Engfors, Jeffery, Gignac, & Palermo, 2017).

Adaptation can complete failure to recognise other-race people, the produce striking perceptual aftereffects, but it can also other-race effect found in the lab is generally relatively be very useful. We have argued that it updates face small. To investigate this apparent paradox, we took an norms, which represent average properties of our diet of individual differences approach and found considerable faces, allowing the visual system to efficiently code the variability in the size of individuals’ other-race effects distinctive information that we need to recognise faces. (Wan, Crookes, Dawel, Pidcock, Hall, & McKone, 2017). Two lines of evidence reviewed recently highlight the Importantly, we identified a new group (approximately functional role of adaptation in face recognition ability 8% of the population) who were so poor at other- (Rhodes, 2017). First, face adaptation is reduced in a race face recognition, that they met the criteria for diverse range of clinical populations with impaired face clinical-level impairment,( i.e., they were ‘face-blind’ recognition. Second, people who adapt more readily for other-race faces). The risk factors for other-race to new faces are better at recognising faces and their face blindness included having low contact with people expressions. These discoveries raise further important from the other-race and being at the lower end of the normal range for own-race face recognition. However questions, such as whether we can learn to adapt other-race face-blindness was not associated with more to faces, and if so, whether this could improve applying less effort for other-race than own-race faces. recognition of faces in social and forensic settings. This discovery answers a central theoretical question as to whether poorer performance with other-race faces is primarily due to expertise or to motivational biases (e.g., prejudice), and highlights a critical role for experience. The fact that nearly 1 in 10 people are very poor at recognising other-race faces also has major implications for everyday life, not only for the important case of eyewitness testimony, but also for everyday social interactions, where some people will struggle to recognise acquaintances and colleagues from an unfamiliar race.

These results were central to our proposal that autism is associated with atypicalities in flexible perceptual processing, and in particular, of prediction (Pellicano & Burr, 2012). This work has since been recognised by major scholars of autism and cognitive neuroscience more broadly as a serious and important challenge to conventional accounts in both the methodology employed ( i.e., computational, experimental and psychophysical methods) and in its substantial results.

READING The Reading Program draws on detailed theoretical and computational models of reading to investigate skilled reading, learning to read, and reading disorders. Fundamental to our approach is the proposition that reading is a complex learned skill, involving the coordinated operation of a number of different cognitive processes. All of these processes must be functioning normally in order for reading to be normal, and impairments in any one of these processes will result in a particular profile of reading disorder. We apply cognitive models to the understanding of reading disorders that are seen in children learning to read (developmental dyslexia) and also to those seen in formerly skilled readers after brain damage (acquired dyslexia), and, in both cases, we use them to inform the development of treatment options. In the following sections, we focus on just a few research highlights from each of our major research aims that showcase the types of research achievements by the Reading Program.

This model represents a major legacy of Emeritus Professor Max Coltheart over the preceding the CCD, providing a rich theoretical and computational two decades (Coltheart, et al., 1993, 2001).

Our models specify that successful word reading involves not only identifying each letter within the word but must also identify their correct position. Otherwise, a reader will have no way of differentiating between the words pat, tap, and apt, for example. While this process is clearly important, little research has explored how it operates, or whether there is variation in how well it is acquired. We developed a targeted test of letter position processing, which required children to read anagram words such as slime/smile, nerve/ never and pirates/parties. Use of this test identified children who struggled specifically with this aspect of reading, even though they performed within normal range on all other measures, which we published in the prominent journal, Neuropsychologia (Kohnen, Nickels, Castles, Friedmann, & McArthur, 2012). Identification of this profile has stimulated new research directions examining the underlying causes of this difficulty and determining optimal treatment methods.

The effect of visual body size adaptation on multimodal representations of the self Ian Stephen, Kevin Brooks, Regine Zopf and Vince Polito

Body size misperception affects a large and growing number of young Australians, and has negative health implications including body dissatisfaction, eating disorders, and compulsive behaviours. Recently, Associate Professor Kevin Brooks and Dr Ian Stephen have shown that visual adaptation may provide a mechanism for the development of body size misperception, since exposure to thin bodies causes subsequently-presented average sized bodies to appear fat and vice versa. Further, Dr Regine Zopf and Dr Vince Polito have shown that exposure to unusual body stimuli can affect multiple aspects of self-representation, including beliefs about one’s spatial location and agency across multiple senses.

In this project, we are examining whether visual adaptation affects representations of one’s body outside of vision, and thereby determine if the brain holds high-level representations of one’s body. This research brings together members of the Person Perception, Perception in Action, and Belief Formation teams to: • determine whether visual body adaptation impacts explicit self-experience; • determine whether visual body adaptation impacts self-representations of our bodies in the touch domain; and • determine whether visual body adaptation transfers to representations of our bodies in the proprioceptive (body awareness) domain.

NEURAL MARKERS The Neural Markers Training Scheme provided training and support for researchers to develop new skills through collaborative research projects using magnetoencephalography (MEG), electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), eye-tracking and other experimental techniques. The first three projects below were funded by the Centre under this targeted research program. The Centre also provided support for research teams to use MEG as a technique to further understanding brain processes and functions and these projects follow the Neural Markers project descriptions.

The emerging representation of semantic information in MEG Thomas Carlson and Tijl Grootswagers

At what point in time does semantic information about the visual objects in the world emerge? Previous research using representational similarity analysis and fMRI has shown that higher visual areas in the ventral temporal cortex contain semantic information about visual objects. This work has established ‘where’ in the brain semantic information emerges. However, the fine scale temporal dynamics of the emergence of semantic information remains unknown. Here, we applied representational similarity analysis to MEG to investigate when semantic information for visual objects emerges. In the analysis, we used representational similarity analysis to correlate different models of semantic processing to the neural data. This project will yield deeper insights into processes involved in describing the world around us. Steady state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) and voluntary actions Simmy Poonian and Amanda Robinson This project investigated the neural response to voluntary actions and their sensory outcomes using MEG. By manipulating the predictability of sensory effects, we aimed to investigate how the neural activity for action control and sensory processing is influenced by motor expectations and sensory predictions. This research aimed to inform the ways in which we are able to execute, understand and maintain control over our own actions while the sensory world is changing. Experience based perceptual effect on cortical tracking of hierarchical linguistic structures David Meng, Yiwen Li, Blake Johnson and Catherine McMahon

This project examined the effects of prior experience with acoustic and linguistic information, on the ability of the brain to track information at different linguistic timescales (i.e., syllable level, phrase level and sentence level). The research aims to provide novel neural markers, using MEG, for objective assessment of speech perception and language processing in cochlear implant recipients as well as evaluating the effectiveness of various rehabilitation programs after cochlear implantation. Brain oscillations of sequence learning in different motor modalities Blake Johnson and Erik Chang (National Central University, Taiwan)

In this project we examined how we learn new motor skills - specifically how cognitive processes and neural mechanisms change as we become more and more fluent with novel movement sequences. Using MEG, we compared neural activity between manual movements and speech, and identified crucial factors influencing learning within each modality, as well as the transfer of learning across modalities. The findings of this project will advance our understanding of how novel motor skills are acquired, together with the underlying neural mechanisms of acquisition.

The Centre engages with the general public through a wide variety of educational activities for all ages. From international undergraduate visits, to presentations for primary and secondary students, even pre-school children have visited the Centre or had CCD members present in their classrooms. These events give these students the opportunity not only to learn about our research and its impact on society, but also to see the potential career pathways that a STEM degree offers. CCD members also spoke at career days, informational fairs and open days. Through these activities, they have directly reached over 900 students in urban and rural communities, not including the several thousand attendees at public events such as university Open Days and the Sydney Science Festival.

This year, 24 students from Years 10 and 11 participated in the week-long work experience program at the Macquarie University node of the Centre. The Person Perception Program at The University of Western Australia (UWA), also hosted a high school work experience student for four days in January. Additionally, the Centre hosted 50 undergraduate and higher degree students as merit scholars and interns, providing them with the opportunity to fully engage in cognitive science projects.

Since its inception in 2014, over 120 high school students have benefited from CCD work experience programs. Students have had the opportunity to work with researchers from Macquarie University and The University of Sydney nodes, as well as the Person Perception researchers at UWA and clinicians at the Centre for Research in Autism and Education (CRAE), University College London, UK through a program managed by Professor Liz Pellicano. The work experience program at CRAE was specifically designed to provide secondary school students with autism spectrum disorders the opportunity to work in a research team.

FEATURE MEG Outreach KIT-Macquarie Brain Research Laboratory Outreach 1086 Visitors |

In the past five years, over 1,000 domestic and NETWORKS international visitors have toured the MEG facilities. These visitors have come from all over the world, including China, Japan, India, the USA, Latin America, the Middle East and Europe, as well as from universities across Australia. Heads of national and international corporations, universities and research institutes (such as executives from the University of Science and Technology (China), Shaare Zedek Medical Center (Israel), the ARC Centre for Nanoscale BioPhotonics, and Cryomech, Inc. (USA)) as well as university groups, such as Cotutelle organisers and Macquarie University Advanced Biology students, have toured the facilities. Macquarie University academics often have the opportunity to showcase the MEG research through the close relationship with Cochlear Limited, with many of the scientists visiting the facility as part of the Cochlear 110 Tours Limited’s VISTA program. Scientists are typically interested in the advancements in the field of audiology using the MEG and, in particular, the development of the world- first Hearing MEG proto-type, designed to measure brain function in children and adults with hearing devices and Cochlear implants. As an example of this close relationship, in 2016, eight Centre members hosted over 150 conference delegates across two days as part of Cochlear Limited’s Global Research Symposium, a large conference held in Sydney that brought together national and international experts in the field of audiology. The MEG facility has also hosted international dignitaries, such as the UK Minister of State for School Standards, the Right Honourable Nick Gibb, who toured the MEG as part of this visit to the Centre’s Reading Program in 2017. The MEG plays a prominent role in CCD outreach to high school students. In 2014, the CCD began a formal week- 1463 MEG long ‘Work Experience Program’. The high school work experience program is designed for students in Years 10, Sessions 11 and 12, and gives them the opportunity to be immersed in a range of research training activities. Through the program they gain first-hand experience with many aspects of a research career. One of the highlights of the week is an introduction to how the MEG works and the research conducted with the facilities. The students get the opportunity to see the machine in action and see their own brain activity. The program has attracted students from across Australia, including NSW, the ACT, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia. In total, over 120 high school students have attended the program. The MEG facilities have also been part of other high school outreach activities. For several years the CCD, in conjunction with Cochlear Limited, hosted high school students from the National Youth Science Forum - Next 125 Work Steps Program (2013 and 2014). The National Youth Science Forum, sponsored by Rotary International, is a Experience program for Year 12 students who have been selected to participate based on their demonstrated aptitude for, and Students interest in, science. The aim of the program is to inspire young Australians to consider a future in science. During their time here, the students were given an overview of the Centre, demonstrations of the MEG, and information about pathways to a PhD in cognitive science. Over 100 Year 12 students have participated in this program.
