  1. ncbi Infants' enumeration of actions: numerical discrimination and its signature limits
    Justin N Wood
    Laboratory for Development Studies, Department of Psychology, Harvard University, 33 Kirkland Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA
    Dev Sci 8:173-81. 2005
    ..All of these findings agree with those of studies using visual-spatial arrays and auditory sequences, providing evidence that a single, abstract system of number representation is present and functional in infancy...
  2. ncbi Free-ranging rhesus monkeys spontaneously individuate and enumerate small numbers of non-solid portions
    Justin N Wood
    Department of Psychology, Harvard University, 33 Kirkland Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA
    Cognition 106:207-21. 2008
    ..We discuss our results with respect to theories of visual processing, as well as to the role that the human language faculty may have played in both the evolution and development of quantification...
  3. ncbi Visual memory for agents and their actions
    Justin N Wood
    Harvard University, Department of Psychology, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA
    Cognition 108:522-32. 2008

  4. ncbi Rhesus monkeys' understanding of actions and goals
    Justin N Wood
    Harvard University, Department of Psychology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, USA
    Soc Neurosci 3:60-8. 2008
    ..Monkeys' pattern of success and failure supports the hypothesis that motor areas play a functionally significant role in event parsing and action understanding...
  5. ncbi Distinct visual working memory systems for view-dependent and view-invariant representation
    Justin N Wood
    Department of Psychology, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA
    PLoS ONE 4:e6601. 2009
    ..However, previous studies tested visual working memory for two-dimensional objects only. In consequence, the nature of visual working memory for three-dimensional (3D) object representation remains unknown...
  6. ncbi Visual working memory for observed actions
    Justin N Wood
    Harvard University, Department of Psychology, Cmabridge, MA 02138, USA
    J Exp Psychol Gen 136:639-52. 2007
    ..Thus, working memory consists of a series of distinct yet computationally similar mechanisms for retaining different types of visual information...
  7. ncbi The perception of rational, goal-directed action in nonhuman primates
    Justin N Wood
    Department of Psychology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA
    Science 317:1402-5. 2007
    ..These findings rule out simple associative accounts of action perception and show that our capacity to infer rational, goal-directed action likely arose at least as far back as the New World monkeys, some 40 million years ago...
