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...

Can contagious itch be affected by positive and negative suggestions? (2022)
Journal Article
Meeuwis, S. H., Skvortsova, A., van Laarhoven, A. I. M., Holle, H., & Evers, A. W. (in press). Can contagious itch be affected by positive and negative suggestions?. Experimental Dermatology, https://doi.org/10.1111/exd.14663

Contagious itch can be evoked by observing people scratching. Verbal suggestions about to-be-received itch can influence itch intensity, as shown by placebo research, but it is unknown whether this extends to contagious itch. The current study aimed...

More than signposting: Findings from an evaluation of a social prescribing service (2022)
Journal Article
White, C., Bell, J., Reid, M., & Dyson, J. (2022). More than signposting: Findings from an evaluation of a social prescribing service. Health and Social Care in the Community, https://doi.org/10.1111/hsc.13925

This paper presents findings from an evaluation of a social prescribing service, undertaken between January 2019 and December 2020. Data was collected through interviews and focus groups with a range of groups including social prescribing managers, l...

Could direct and generative retrieval be two flips of the same coin? A dual-task paradigm study (2022)
Journal Article
Gatti, D., Somos, E., Mazzoni, G., & Jellema, T. (2022). Could direct and generative retrieval be two flips of the same coin? A dual-task paradigm study. Cognitive processing, 23(3), 513-519. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10339-022-01095-0

Autobiographical memories are thought to be retrieved using two possible ways: a generative one, which is effortful and follows a general-to-specific pathway, and a direct one, which is automatic and relatively effortless. These two retrieve processe... Read More about Could direct and generative retrieval be two flips of the same coin? A dual-task paradigm study.

Sensorimotor representation of observed dyadic actions with varying agent involvement: an EEG mu study (2022)
Journal Article
Krol, M. A., & Jellema, T. (2022). Sensorimotor representation of observed dyadic actions with varying agent involvement: an EEG mu study. Cognitive neuroscience, https://doi.org/10.1080/17588928.2022.2084605

Observation of others’ actions activates motor representations in sensorimotor cortex. Although action observation in the real-world often involves multiple agents displaying varying degrees of action involvement, most lab studies on action observati...

Human but not robotic gaze facilitates action prediction (2022)
Journal Article
Tidoni, E., Holle, H., Scandola, M., Schindler, I., Hill, L., & Cross, E. S. (2022). Human but not robotic gaze facilitates action prediction. iScience, 25(6), Article 104462. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2022.104462

Do people ascribe intentions to humanoid robots as they would to humans or non-human-like animated objects? In six experiments, we compared people's ability to extract non-mentalistic (i.e., where an agent is looking) and mentalistic (i.e., what an a...

Sensorimotor anticipation of others’ actions in real-world and video settings: Modulation by level of engagement? (2022)
Journal Article
Krol, M. A., & Jellema, T. (2022). Sensorimotor anticipation of others’ actions in real-world and video settings: Modulation by level of engagement?. Social Neuroscience, 17(3), 293-304. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470919.2022.2083229

Electroencephalography (EEG) studies investigating social cognition have used both video and real-world stimuli, often without a strong reasoning as to why one or the other was chosen. Video stimuli can be selected for practical reasons, while natura...

Developmental psychologists should care about measurement precision (2022)
Journal Article
Lindsay, S., & Mather, E. (in press). Developmental psychologists should care about measurement precision. Infant and Child Development, Article e2321. https://doi.org/10.1002/icd.2321

In a wide ranging article in this journal, Byers-Heinlein et al. (2022) make a persuasive case for paying close attention to reliability in developmental research. They focus on measurement reliability, which indexes how well individuals can be ranke... Read More about Developmental psychologists should care about measurement precision.

Acute itch induces attentional avoidance of itch-related information (2022)
Journal Article
Etty, S., George, D. N., van Laarhoven, A., & Holle, H. (2022). Acute itch induces attentional avoidance of itch-related information. Acta Dermato-Venereologica, 102, adv00691. https://doi.org/10.2340/actadv.v102.1626

Attention is known to modulate itch intensity. In contrast, the reverse relationship, i.e. the degree to which the presence of an acute itch affects attention, is currently not well understood. The aims of this study were to investigate whether acute... Read More about Acute itch induces attentional avoidance of itch-related information.
