Stuffing down feelings: Bereavement, anxiety and emotional detachment in the life stories of people with eating disorders (2019)
Journal Article
Reid, M., Wilson‐Walsh, R., Cartwright, L., & Hammersley, R. (2020). Stuffing down feelings: Bereavement, anxiety and emotional detachment in the life stories of people with eating disorders. Health and Social Care in the Community, 28(3), 979-987. https://doi.org/10.1111/hsc.12930

This study aimed to explore the life stories of people with eating disorders (EDs) in order to better understand possible contributing factors to their development. It used a qualitative Life Story method, in order to reduce the tendency to focus on...

Semantic interpretability does not influence masked priming effects (2019)
Journal Article
Tseng, H., Lindsay, S., & Davis, C. J. (2020). Semantic interpretability does not influence masked priming effects. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 73(6), 856-867. https://doi.org/10.1177/1747021819896766

Much of the recent masked nonword priming literature demonstrates no difference in priming between affixed and non-affixed nonword primes (e.g., maskity-MASK vs. maskond-MASK). A possible explanation for the absence of a difference is that studies ha... Read More about Semantic interpretability does not influence masked priming effects.

Optimizing audiovisual itch induction: the role of attention and expectancy (2019)
Journal Article
Laarhoven, A., & Holle, H. (2020). Optimizing audiovisual itch induction: the role of attention and expectancy. British journal of dermatology, 182(5), 1088-1089. https://doi.org/10.1111/bjd.18596

Linked Article: Marzell et al. Br J Dermatol 2020; 182:12531261.

Opening paragraph:
In this issue of the BJD, Marzell and colleagues1 show for the first time that the level of itch induced by audiovisual itch stimuli is not inferior to histaminer... Read More about Optimizing audiovisual itch induction: the role of attention and expectancy.

Detecting falsehood relies on mismatch detection between sentence components (2019)
Journal Article
Weil, R., & Mudrik, L. (2020). Detecting falsehood relies on mismatch detection between sentence components. Cognition, 195, Article 104121. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2019.104121

How do people process and evaluate falsehood of sentences? Do people need to compare presented information with the correct answer to determine that a sentence is false, or do they rely on a mismatch between presented sentence components? To illustra...

Disentangling the effects of attentional weighting and associative mediation in perceptual learning reveals no evidence for associative mediation (2019)
Journal Article
George, D. N., & Oltean, B. P. (2020). Disentangling the effects of attentional weighting and associative mediation in perceptual learning reveals no evidence for associative mediation. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 46(7), 1207-1225. https://doi.org/10.1037/xlm0000773

Learning to categorize perceptually similar stimuli can result in people becoming more sensitive to differences along perceptual dimensions that are relevant to category membership and/or less sensitive to equivalent differences along irrelevant perc...

Computerized stimuli for studying oddity effects (2019)
Journal Article
Dobbinson, K. E., Morrell, L. J., & Skarratt, P. A. (2020). Computerized stimuli for studying oddity effects. Behavioral ecology, 31(1), 176-183. https://doi.org/10.1093/beheco/arz174

Visually hunting predators must overcome the challenges that prey groups present. One such challenge is the confusion effect where an overburdened visual system means predators are unable to successfully target prey. A strategy to overcome confusion...

Sensorimotor cortex activation during anticipation of upcoming predictable but not unpredictable actions (2019)
Journal Article
Krol, M. A., Schutter, D. J. L. G., & Jellema, T. (2020). Sensorimotor cortex activation during anticipation of upcoming predictable but not unpredictable actions. Social Neuroscience, 15(2), 214-226. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470919.2019.1674688

The mirror neuron system (MNS) becomes active during action execution and action observation, which is presumably reflected by reductions in mu (8–13 Hz) activity in the electroencephalogram over the sensorimotor cortex. The function of the MNS is st... Read More about Sensorimotor cortex activation during anticipation of upcoming predictable but not unpredictable actions.

The sociodemographic context of observed solitary and social smoking behaviours using a behavioural ecological approach (2019)
Journal Article
Why, F. Y. P., Undarwati, A., & Nuzulia, S. (in press). The sociodemographic context of observed solitary and social smoking behaviours using a behavioural ecological approach. Journal of health psychology, https://doi.org/10.1177/1359105319877447

This study used a behavioural ecological approach by observing whether solitary and social smoking varied as a function of gender and stress. In sample 1 (N = 414), the result was consistent with the Tend-and-Befriend Hypothesis in that more female s...

Stroop interference is a composite phenomenon: Evidence from distinct developmental trajectories of its components (2019)
Journal Article
Ferrand, L., Ducrot, S., Chausse, P., Maïonchi‐Pino, N., O’Connor, R. J., Parris, B. A., Perret, P., Riggs, K. J., & Augustinova, M. (2020). Stroop interference is a composite phenomenon: Evidence from distinct developmental trajectories of its components. Developmental Science, 23(2), Article e12899. https://doi.org/10.1111/desc.12899

© 2019 John Wiley & Sons Ltd Only one previous developmental study of Stroop task performance (Schiller, 1966) has controlled for differences in processing speed that exist both within and between age groups. Therefore, the question of whether the... Read More about Stroop interference is a composite phenomenon: Evidence from distinct developmental trajectories of its components.
