A universal preference for animate agents in hominids (2024)
Journal Article
Brocard, S., Wilson, V. A., Berton, C., Zuberbühler, K., & Bickel, B. (2024). A universal preference for animate agents in hominids. iScience, 27(6), Article 109996. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2024.109996

When conversing, humans instantaneously predict meaning from fragmentary and ambiguous mspeech, long before utterance completion. They do this by integrating priors (initial assumptions about the world) with contextual evidence to rapidly decide on t... Read More about A universal preference for animate agents in hominids.

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...

It's all about perspective: an examination of spontaneous and implicit/explicit visual perspective-taking in Turner syndrome (2024)
Thesis
Thompson, T. It's all about perspective: an examination of spontaneous and implicit/explicit visual perspective-taking in Turner syndrome. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4706284

The ability to take another person’s perspective is a fundamental aspect of social cognition and an important contributor to social interaction. In this online research study, we explored potential differences in visual perspective-taking between adu...

The implicit power of positive thinking: The effect of positive episodic simulation on implicit future expectancies (2024)
Journal Article
Anderson, R. J., Clayton McClure, J. H., Bishop, E., Howe, D., Riggs, K. J., & Dewhurst, S. A. (2024). The implicit power of positive thinking: The effect of positive episodic simulation on implicit future expectancies. PLoS ONE, 19(4 April), Article e0298817. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0298817

Previous research demonstrating that positive episodic simulation enhances future expectancies has relied on explicit expectancy measures. The current study investigated the effects of episodic simulation on implicit expectancies. Using the Future Th...

The effects of gender and emotion on schema-driven false memories. (2024)
Thesis
Markham, B. The effects of gender and emotion on schema-driven false memories. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4625398

The present set of experiments investigated the role of emotion in false memory using a schema-based paradigm in which participants imagined familiar scenarios and rated words for their relevance to the scenarios. This was followed by tests of recogn... Read More about The effects of gender and emotion on schema-driven false memories..

Mental simulation of the factual and the illusory in negation processing: evidence from anticipatory eye movements on a blank screen (2024)
Journal Article
Vanek, N., Matić Škorić, A., Košutar, S., Matějka, Š., & Stone, K. (2024). Mental simulation of the factual and the illusory in negation processing: evidence from anticipatory eye movements on a blank screen. Scientific reports, 14(1), Article 2844. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-53353-0

How do comprehenders process negative statements such as The fish is not jumping out of the water? Opinions vary. Some argue for two steps, namely that processing starts off with the representation of the positive/illusory [fish jumping out of the wa...

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...

Test performance in optional shift and configural acquired-equivalence are positively correlated (2024)
Journal Article
Bru Garcia, S., George, D. N., & Robinson, J. (2024). Test performance in optional shift and configural acquired-equivalence are positively correlated. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Learning and Cognition, 50(4), 235–246. https://doi.org/10.1037/xan0000384

In two experiments, participants completed two 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 nonspecific var...

Attentional bias in psoriasis: The role of processing time and emotional valence (2023)
Journal Article
Etty, S., George, D. N., van Laarhoven, A., Kleyn, C. E., Walton, S., & Holle, H. (online). Attentional bias in psoriasis: The role of processing time and emotional valence. British Journal of Health Psychology, https://doi.org/10.1111/bjhp.12712

Purpose: The present study explored whether people with psoriasis display an attentional bias towards disease-related threat words and whether this bias occurs relatively early during the phase of stimulus disengagement, or during a later maintained...

The N400 is Elicited by Meaning Changes but not Synonym Substitutions: Evidence From Persian Phrasal Verbs (2023)
Journal Article
Stone, K., Khaleghi, N., & Rabovsky, M. (2023). The N400 is Elicited by Meaning Changes but not Synonym Substitutions: Evidence From Persian Phrasal Verbs. Cognitive science, 47(12), Article e13394. https://doi.org/10.1111/cogs.13394

We tested two accounts of the cognitive process underlying the N400 event-related potential component: one that it reflects meaning-based processing and one that it reflects the processing of specific words. The experimental design utilized separable... Read More about The N400 is Elicited by Meaning Changes but not Synonym Substitutions: Evidence From Persian Phrasal Verbs.
