Contextual positivity-familiarity effects are unaffected by known moderators of misattribution (2020)
Journal Article
Weil, R., Palma, T. A., & Gawronski, B. (in press). Contextual positivity-familiarity effects are unaffected by known moderators of misattribution. Cognition and Emotion, 1-13. https://doi.org/10.1080/02699931.2020.1858029

The positivity-familiarity effect refers to the phenomenon that positive affect increases the likelihood that people judge a stimulus as familiar. Drawing on the assumption that positivity-familiarity effects result from a common misattribution mecha...

Do wild raccoons (Procyon lotor) use tools? (2020)
Journal Article
Morton, F. B. (2020). Do wild raccoons (Procyon lotor) use tools?. Animal Cognition, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10071-020-01430-y

Being able to make and use tools was once considered to be an evolutionary hallmark of our species, but has since been documented in other animals. However, for reasons that remain unclear, not all species naturally use tools. Racoons (Procyon lotor)... Read More about Do wild raccoons (Procyon lotor) use tools?.

Schizotypy but not Cannabis Use Modestly Predicts Psychotogenic Experiences: A Cross-Sectional Study Using the Oxford-Liverpool Inventory of Feelings and Experiences (O-LIFE) (2020)
Journal Article

Schizotypy but not Cannabis Use Modestly Predicts Psychotogenic Experiences: A Cross-Sectional Study Using the Oxford-Liverpool Inventory of Feelings and Experiences (O-LIFE). Journal of Addiction, 2020, Article 5961275. https://doi.org/10.1155/2020/5961275

Objective. Cannabis use predicts psychosis in longitudinal studies, but it is difficult to infer causation. Some precursor variables predict both, including childhood trauma and adversity. Additionally, some of the desired effects of cannabis use res...

Journal of Hospital Infection, 106(4), 812-819. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhin.2020.09.016

Background: Currently no national standards exist for the prevention of surgical site infection (SSI) in cardiac surgery. SSI rates range from 1% to 8% between centres. Aim: The aim of this study was to explore and characterize variation in approache...

The effect of dysphoria on the relationship between autobiographical memories and the self (2020)
Journal Article
Grace, L., Dewhurst, S. A., & Anderson, R. J. (2021). The effect of dysphoria on the relationship between autobiographical memories and the self. Cognition and Emotion, 35(1), 71-83. https://doi.org/10.1080/02699931.2020.1802231

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.

The representation of stimulus conjunction in theories of associative learning : a context-dependent added-elements model (2020)

This paper briefly reviews three theories concerning elemental and configural approaches to stimulus representation in associative learning and presents a new Context-dependent Added Elements Model (C-AEM). This model takes an elemental approach to s... Read More about The representation of stimulus conjunction in theories of associative learning : a context-dependent added-elements model.

Macaque Gaze Responses to the Primatar: A Virtual Macaque Head for Social Cognition Research (2020)
Journal Article

When does contextual positivity influence judgments of familiarity? Investigating moderators of the positivity-familiarity effect (2020)
Journal Article
Weil, R., Palma, T., & Gawronski, B. (2020). When does contextual positivity influence judgments of familiarity? Investigating moderators of the positivity-familiarity effect. Social cognition : the official journal of the International Social Cognition Network, 38(2), 119-145. https://doi.org/10.1521/soco.2020.38.2.119

The positivity-familiarity effect suggests that people use positive affect as a cue to answer the question of whether they have encountered a stimulus before. Five experiments investigated this effect under various conditions. Positivity-familiarity... Read More about When does contextual positivity influence judgments of familiarity?
