  • "Left neglected," but only in far space: spatial biases in healthy participants revealed in a visually guided grasping task 
    de Bruin Nutley, Natalie; Bryant, Devon C.; Gonzalez, Claudia L. R. (Frontiers MediaArts and ScienceDepartment of Kinesiology and Physical EducationUniversity of Lethbridge, 2014)
    Hemispatial neglect is a common outcome of stroke that is characterized by the inability to orient toward, and attend to stimuli in contralesional space. It is established that hemispatial neglect has a perceptual ...
  • On the evolution of handedness: evidence for feeding biases 
    Flindall, Jason W.; Gonzalez, Claudia L. R. (Public Library of ScienceArts and ScienceDepartment of Kinesiology and Physical EducationUniversity of Lethbridge, 2013)
    Many theories have been put forward to explain the origins of right-handedness in humans. Here we present evidence that this preference may stem in part from a right hand advantage in grasping for feeding. Thirteen ...
  • Perception of safe horizontal reaching distance changes with repetitive occupational loading in novice lifters 
    McCubbing, Dustin C.; Shan, Gongbing; Gonzalez, Claudia L. R.; Awosoga, Olu A.; Doan, Jon B. (ElsevierArts and ScienceHealth SciencesDepartment of KinesiologyUniversity of Lethbridgehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.promfg.2015.07.470, 2015)
    Safe work behaviours rely on accurate perceptions of injury risks, and workers who have a misperception of risk can be injured. Despite the importance of perception-action coupling, little is known about modification of ...
  • Prenatal enrichment and recovery from perinatal cortical damage: effects of maternal complex housing 
    Gibb, Robbin L.; Gonzalez, Claudia L. R.; Kolb, Bryan (Frontiers Research FoundationArts and ScienceDepartment of NeuroscienceUniversity of Lethbridge, 2014)
    Birth is a particularly vulnerable time for acquiring brain injury. Unfortunately, very few treatments are available for those affected. Here we explore the effectiveness of prenatal intervention in an animal model of early ...
  • Speech in action: degree of hand preference for grasping predicts speech articulation competence in children 
    Gonzalez, Claudia L. R.; Li, Fangfang; Mills, Kelly J.; Rosen, Nicole; Gibb, Robbin L. (Frontiers MediaArts and ScienceDepartment of Kinesiology and Physical EducationDepartment of PsychologyDepartment of NeuroscienceUniversity of LethbridgeUniversity of Manitoba, 2014)
    Degree of lateralization for grasping predicts the maturity of the language production system in young, typically-developing children. In this report we provide compelling evidence for the relationship between right hand ...
