Anticipated emotions are the feelings one expects if a hypothetical future event were to occur, whereas anticipatory emotions are those one experiences right now while imagining the event. There has been little direct comparison of these two forms of... Read More about Differentiating anticipated and anticipatory emotions and their sensitivity to depressive symptoms.

Isolating the effects of visual imagery on prospective memory (2024)
Journal Article
Abel, J. W., Anderson, R. J., Dean, G. M., & Dewhurst, S. A. (2024). Isolating the effects of visual imagery on prospective memory. Memory, https://doi.org/10.1080/09658211.2024.2335302

Two experiments investigated the role of visual imagery in prospective memory (PM). In experiment 1, 140 participants completed a general knowledge quiz which included a PM task of writing a letter “X” next to any questions that referred to space. Pa...

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 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...

The effect of dysphoria on the relationship between autobiographical memories and the self (2020)
Journal Article

Two experiments investigated the bi-directional relationship between episodic autobiographical memories (ABMs) and semantic self-images in dysphoric and nondysphoric individuals. Participants in Experiment 1 generated positive and negative “I am” sta... Read More about The effect of dysphoria on the relationship between autobiographical memories and the self.

Putting false memories into context: The effects of odour contexts on correct and false recall (2018)
Journal Article
Woods, J. A., & Dewhurst, S. A. (2019). Putting false memories into context: The effects of odour contexts on correct and false recall. Memory, 27(3), 379-386. https://doi.org/10.1080/09658211.2018.1512632

False memories created by the Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm are often accompanied by contextual information. Yet, research investigating the effects of context on false memories is surprisingly scarce. We used the context-dependent memory (...

Simulation, false memories, and the planning of future events (2018)
Journal Article
Dewhurst, S. A., Anderson, R. J., Grace, L., & Howe, D. (2019). Simulation, false memories, and the planning of future events. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 45(1), 26-36. https://doi.org/10.1037/xlm0000575

Three experiments investigated the relationship between future thinking and false memories. In Experiment 1, participants remembered familiar events (e.g., a holiday) from their past, imagined planning the same events in the future, or took part in a...

Thinking aloud: an exploration of cognitions in professional snooker (2018)
Journal Article

Objectives: Presently, there is no exploration into the cognitive processes of super-elite and elite professional snooker players during real-time performance. Therefore, this study explored the cognitions of seven professional snooker players during... Read More about Thinking aloud: an exploration of cognitions in professional snooker.
