Educational psychology, 35(7), 886-907. https://doi.org/10.1080/01443410.2014.895294

Mental toughness has frequently been associated with successful performance in sport; however, recent research suggests that it may also be related to academic performance in Higher Education. In a series of three exploratory studies, we examined the... Read More about Mental toughness in education: exploring relationships with attainment, attendance, behaviour and peer relationships.

Does knowing speaker sex facilitate vowel recognition at short durations? (2014)
Journal Article

Facial emotion modulates the neural mechanisms responsible for short interval time perception (2013)
Journal Article

Emotionally arousing events can distort our sense of time. We used mixed block/event-related fMRI design to establish the neural basis for this effect. Nineteen participants were asked to judge whether angry, happy and neutral facial expressions that...

Disowned recollections: Denying true experiences undermines belief in occurrence but not judgments of remembering (2013)
Journal Article

Recent research findings have illustrated that false memories induced in the laboratory can be dissociated from the beliefs that the events had in fact occurred. In this study we assessed whether this dissociability is a quality peculiar to false mem...

The costs of giving up: Action versus inaction asymmetries in regret (2013)
Journal Article

Kurzban et al.'s opportunity cost model of mental effort relies heavily on counterfactual thinking. We suggest that a closer inspection of the role of counterfactual emotions, and particularly of action/inaction asymmetries in anticipated regret, may...

The selective role of premotor cortex in speech perception: A contribution to phoneme judgements but not speech comprehension (2013)
Journal Article

Several accounts of speech perception propose that the areas involved in producing language are also involved in perceiving it. In line with this view, neuroimaging studies show activation of premotor cortex (PMC) during phoneme judgment tasks; howev...

Priming by relational integration in perceptual identification and Stroop colour naming (2013)

Integrative priming is the facilitated recognition of a target word following a prime word with which it can be combined to produce a sub-type of the target (e.g., a lake bird is a type of bird). Such priming occurs even in the absence of lexical ass... Read More about Priming by relational integration in perceptual identification and Stroop colour naming.
