Attentional bias in psoriasis: The role of processing time and emotional valence (2023)
Journal Article
Etty, S., George, D. N., van Laarhoven, A., Kleyn, C. E., Walton, S., & Holle, H. (in press). Attentional bias in psoriasis: The role of processing time and emotional valence. British Journal of Health Psychology, https://doi.org/10.1111/bjhp.12712

Purpose: The present study explored whether people with psoriasis display an attentional bias towards disease-related threat words and whether this bias occurs relatively early during the phase of stimulus disengagement, or during a later maintained...

Rethinking egocentric bias: A computer mouse-tracking study of adult belief processing (2023)
Journal Article
O'Connor, R. J., Lucas, A., & Riggs, K. J. (2024). Rethinking egocentric bias: A computer mouse-tracking study of adult belief processing. Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 153(2), 307-327. https://doi.org/10.1037/xge0001485

Several theories of belief processing assume that processing another's false belief requires overcoming an egocentric bias toward one's current knowledge. The current evidence in support of this claim, however, is limited. In order to investigate the...

Data resource profile: the virtual international care homes trials archive (VICHTA) (2023)
Journal Article
Irvine, L., Burton, J., Ali, M., Booth, J., Desborough, J., Logan, P., …Goodman, C. (2023). Data resource profile: the virtual international care homes trials archive (VICHTA). International Journal of Population Data Science, 8(6), https://doi.org/10.23889/ijpds.v8i6.2161

Introduction Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) conducted in care home settings address a range of health conditions impacting older people, but often include a common core of data about residents and the care home environment. These data can be use... Read More about Data resource profile: the virtual international care homes trials archive (VICHTA).

The influence of mental toughness on responses to feedback in snooker: A real-time examination (2023)
Journal Article
Dewhurst, S. A., Welsh, J., & Perry, J. L. (2023). The influence of mental toughness on responses to feedback in snooker: A real-time examination. Psychology of sport and exercise, 68, Article 102466. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.psychsport.2023.102466

Two experiments investigated whether mental toughness (MT) is associated with the ability to respond to and/or overcome unwanted information during real-time sport performance. Participants were male snooker players ranging from club to professional... Read More about The influence of mental toughness on responses to feedback in snooker: A real-time examination.

The Many Challenges of Human Experimental Itch Research (2023)
Book Chapter
Holle, H., & Lloyd, D. M. (2023). The Many Challenges of Human Experimental Itch Research. In N. P. Holmes (Ed.), Somatosensory Research Methods (161-180). New York: Humana Press. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-0716-3068-6_8

Itch has long been a neglected sense within somatosensory research, and with good reason: acute itch, although relatively easy to trigger, is notoriously difficult to control experimentally. Its time course and behavior cannot easily be predicted and... Read More about The Many Challenges of Human Experimental Itch Research.

The effect of survival processing on memory for pictures depends on how memory is tested (2023)
Journal Article
Dewhurst, S. A., Anderson, R. J., O’Connor, R. J., & Dean, G. (in press). The effect of survival processing on memory for pictures depends on how memory is tested. Memory, https://doi.org/10.1080/09658211.2023.2171436

Two experiments investigated the effects of survival processing on memory for pictures of objects. In experiment 1, participants were presented with 32 pictures of common objects and rated them for their relevance to a survival scenario, a moving hom...

Body Form Modulates the Prediction of Human and Artificial Behaviour from Gaze Observation (2023)
Journal Article
Scandola, M., Cross, E. S., Caruana, N., & Tidoni, E. (2023). Body Form Modulates the Prediction of Human and Artificial Behaviour from Gaze Observation. International Journal of Social Robotics, https://doi.org/10.1007/s12369-022-00962-2

The future of human–robot collaboration relies on people’s ability to understand and predict robots' actions. The machine-like appearance of robots, as well as contextual information, may influence people’s ability to anticipate the behaviour of robo...

Temporal distortion for angry faces: Testing visual attention and action preparation accounts (2023)
Journal Article
Tipples, J., Lupton, M., & George, D. (2023). Temporal distortion for angry faces: Testing visual attention and action preparation accounts. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, https://doi.org/10.1177/17470218231172856

When asked to judge the duration of a face people typically overestimate the duration of angry compared with neutral faces. A novel feature of the current research was the inclusion of secondary manipulations designed to distort timing performance na...

The effect of acute itch on the motor evoked potential : an investigation using transcranial magnetic brain stimulation (2022)
Thesis
Page, M. L. (2022). The effect of acute itch on the motor evoked potential : an investigation using transcranial magnetic brain stimulation. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4270500

research into the functioning of the brain during itch has revealed significant activity in the motor cortex, however, the role of the motor cortex during itch is not completely known. It is theorised to be involved in the planning of scratching move...

No preconscious attentional bias towards itch in healthy individuals (2022)
Journal Article
Becker, J. M., Holle, H., van Ryckeghem, D. M., Van Damme, S., Crombez, G., Veldhuijzen, D. S., …van Laarhoven, A. I. (2022). No preconscious attentional bias towards itch in healthy individuals. PLoS ONE, 17(9), Article e0273581. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0273581

Rapidly attending towards potentially harmful stimuli to prevent possible damage to the body is a critical component of adaptive behavior. Research suggests that individuals display an attentional bias, i.e., preferential allocation of attention, for... Read More about No preconscious attentional bias towards itch in healthy individuals.
