The Many Challenges of Human Experimental Itch Research (2023)
Book Chapter
Holle, H., & Lloyd, D. M. (2023). The Many Challenges of Human Experimental Itch Research. In N. P. Holmes (Ed.), Somatosensory Research Methods (161-180). Humana Press. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-0716-3068-6_8

Itch has long been a neglected sense within somatosensory research, and with good reason: acute itch, although relatively easy to trigger, is notoriously difficult to control experimentally. Its time course and behavior cannot easily be predicted and... Read More about The Many Challenges of Human Experimental Itch Research.

The relationship between depressive symptoms and positive emotional anticipation of goal achievement (2023)
Journal Article
Anderson, R. J., Clayton McClure, J. H., Boland, J., Howe, D., Riggs, K. J., & Dewhurst, S. A. (2023). The relationship between depressive symptoms and positive emotional anticipation of goal achievement. Journal of Experimental Psychopathology, 14(1), https://doi.org/10.1177/20438087231164963

Depression is associated with difficulties in goal pursuit which could be related to deficits in emotional anticipation regarding goal success. Therefore, the reported study investigated emotional anticipation for personal goals and whether this diff...

Competing contextual processes rely on the infralimbic and prelimbic medial prefrontal cortices in the rat (2023)
Journal Article
George, D., Killcross, S., & Haddon, J. (2023). Competing contextual processes rely on the infralimbic and prelimbic medial prefrontal cortices in the rat. Oxford Open Neuroscience, 2, Article kvad003. https://doi.org/10.1093/oons/kvad003

Ambiguous relationships between events may be established using interference procedures such as latent inhibition, extinction, or counterconditioning. Under these conditions, the retrieval of individual associations between a stimulus and outcome is...

The effect of survival processing on memory for pictures depends on how memory is tested (2023)
Journal Article
Dewhurst, S. A., Anderson, R. J., O’Connor, R. J., & Dean, G. (in press). The effect of survival processing on memory for pictures depends on how memory is tested. Memory, https://doi.org/10.1080/09658211.2023.2171436

Two experiments investigated the effects of survival processing on memory for pictures of objects. In experiment 1, participants were presented with 32 pictures of common objects and rated them for their relevance to a survival scenario, a moving hom...

Body Form Modulates the Prediction of Human and Artificial Behaviour from Gaze Observation (2023)
Journal Article
Scandola, M., Cross, E. S., Caruana, N., & Tidoni, E. (2023). Body Form Modulates the Prediction of Human and Artificial Behaviour from Gaze Observation. International Journal of Social Robotics, https://doi.org/10.1007/s12369-022-00962-2

The future of human–robot collaboration relies on people’s ability to understand and predict robots' actions. The machine-like appearance of robots, as well as contextual information, may influence people’s ability to anticipate the behaviour of robo...

Temporal distortion for angry faces: Testing visual attention and action preparation accounts (2023)
Journal Article
Tipples, J., Lupton, M., & George, D. (2023). Temporal distortion for angry faces: Testing visual attention and action preparation accounts. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, https://doi.org/10.1177/17470218231172856

When asked to judge the duration of a face people typically overestimate the duration of angry compared with neutral faces. A novel feature of the current research was the inclusion of secondary manipulations designed to distort timing performance na...

Possessive Processing in Bilingual Comprehension (2022)
Journal Article
Lago, S., Stone, K., Oltrogge, E., & Veríssimo, J. (2023). Possessive Processing in Bilingual Comprehension. Language Learning, 73(3), 904-941. https://doi.org/10.1111/lang.12556

Second language (L2) learners make gender errors with possessive pronouns. In production, these errors are modulated by the gender match between the possessor and possessee noun. We examined whether this so-called match effect extends to L2 comprehen... Read More about Possessive Processing in Bilingual Comprehension.

The effect of acute itch on the motor evoked potential : an investigation using transcranial magnetic brain stimulation (2022)
Thesis
Page, M. L. The effect of acute itch on the motor evoked potential : an investigation using transcranial magnetic brain stimulation. (Thesis). University of Hull. 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., Evers, A. W., Rippe, R. C., & 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...
