Journal Article
George, D. N., Dwyer, D. M., Haselgrove, M., & Le Pelley, M. E. (online). Apparent statistical inference in crows may reflect simple reinforcement learning. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, https://doi.org/10.1177/17470218241305622

Johnston et al. report results which they argue demonstrate that crows engage in statistical inference during decision-making. They trained two crows to associate a set of stimuli with different reward probabilities (from 10% to 90%) before choice te...

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...

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...
