Test performance in optional shift and configural acquired-equivalence are positively correlated (2024)
Journal Article
Bru Garcia, S., George, D., & Robinson, J. (online). Test performance in optional shift and configural acquired-equivalence are positively correlated. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Learning and Cognition, https://doi.org/10.1037/xan0000384

In 2 experiments, participants completed 2 computer-based tasks: a configural acquired-equivalence procedure and an optional-shift procedure. Both revealed that test performance was positively correlated, even when controlling for non-specific variab...

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.

Absence of Differential Protection From Extinction in Human Causal Learning (2024)
Journal Article
George, D., Haddon, J., & Griffiths, O. (2024). Absence of Differential Protection From Extinction in Human Causal Learning. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Learning and Cognition, https://doi.org/10.1037/xan0000380

Elemental models of associative learning typically employ a common prediction-error term. Following a conditioning trial, they predict that the change in the strength of an association between a cue and an outcome is dependent upon how well the outco...

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...
