Presentation / Conference Contribution
Piotrowska, B., Willis, A., MacLean, R., Murray, J., & Kerridge, J. (2015, August). Visual-spatial-motor integration in a cross-section of primary-aged children: implications for assessing risk of Dyslexia. Presented at European Conference on Visual Perception (ECVP) 2015

Dyslexia is a common condition characterized by difficulties with reading and writing despite adequate intelligence, education and motivation. Many individuals with dyslexia also have problems integrating visual information over space and time, and /...

Can laboratory based research regarding type 1 diabetes and exercise be applied into the real-life environment? (2015)
Journal Article
Charlton, J., Kilbride, L., MacLean, R., Darlison, M. G., & McKnight, J. (2015). Can laboratory based research regarding type 1 diabetes and exercise be applied into the real-life environment?. Practical Diabetes, 32(6), 217-221. https://doi.org/10.1002/pdi.1961

The aim of this study was to determine whether results from laboratory based research examining glycaemic control during and after exercise can be applied to a real-life (non-laboratory) environment. A comparative study of individuals with type 1 dia... Read More about Can laboratory based research regarding type 1 diabetes and exercise be applied into the real-life environment?.

Delayed hypoglycaemia in people with type 1 diabetes after performing moderate intensity exercise before the evening meal (2015)
Journal Article
Charlton, J., Kilbride, L., MacLean, R., Darlison, M. G., & McKnight, J. (2015). Delayed hypoglycaemia in people with type 1 diabetes after performing moderate intensity exercise before the evening meal. Practical Diabetes, 32(3), 99-102. https://doi.org/10.1002/pdi.1933

For a person with type 1 diabetes, participation in exercise may increase the risk of
hypoglycaemia. Research has been performed during or immediately after exercise in a
laboratory environment, with limited evidence regarding strategies for post-e... Read More about Delayed hypoglycaemia in people with type 1 diabetes after performing moderate intensity exercise before the evening meal.

The design and evaluation of a self-management algorithm for people with type 1 diabetes performing moderate intensity exercise (2015)
Journal Article
Charlton, J., Kilbride, L., MacLean, R., Darlison, M. G., & McKnight, J. (2015). The design and evaluation of a self-management algorithm for people with type 1 diabetes performing moderate intensity exercise. Practical Diabetes, 32(2), 64-69. https://doi.org/10.1002/pdi.1926

Limited evidence is available to advise people with type 1 diabetes about self-management strategies for maintaining acceptable glycaemic control when exercising.

A systematic review was conducted to design a self-management algorithm for moderate... Read More about The design and evaluation of a self-management algorithm for people with type 1 diabetes performing moderate intensity exercise.

Performance on a tablet-based visual-spatial-motor task is compromised in adults and children with dyslexia: implications for the development of a novel screening tool (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Willis, A., Piotrowska, B., Bannach-Brown, A., MacLean, R. D. J., & Kerridge, J. (2014, March). Performance on a tablet-based visual-spatial-motor task is compromised in adults and children with dyslexia: implications for the development of a novel screening tool

Many adults and children with dyslexia also have problems with lower-level sensory, attentional, or motor tasks. In particular, there may be problems with auditory processing1, visual motion processing2-3, visual-spatial attention4, and motor control...

Age and the understanding of emotions: neuropsychological and sociological perspectives. (2002)
Journal Article
Phillips, L. H., MacLean, R. D. J., & Allen, R. (2002). Age and the understanding of emotions: neuropsychological and sociological perspectives. Journals of Gerontology, Series B, 57B, 526-530. https://doi.org/10.1093/geronb/57.6.P526

Sociocognitive approaches suggest that the ability to understand emotions should be well maintained in adult aging. However, neuropsychological evidence suggests potential impairments in processing emotions in older adults. In the current study, 30 y...
