Journal Article
Du, Y., McMillan, N., Madan, C. R., Spetch, M. L., & Mou, W. (2017). Cue integration in spatial search for jointly learned landmarks but not for separately learned landmarks. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 43(12), 1857-1871. https://doi.org/10.1037/xlm0000416

The authors investigated how humans use multiple landmarks to locate a goal. Participants searched for a hidden goal location along a line between 2 distinct landmarks on a computer screen. On baseline trials, the location of the landmarks and goal v... Read More about Cue integration in spatial search for jointly learned landmarks but not for separately learned landmarks..

Building management systems are designed for energy managers; there are few energy feedback systems designed to engage staff. A tool, known as e-Genie, was developed to engage workplace occupants with energy data and support them to take action to re...

Looking for post-traumatic growth in perpetrators of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda: a discussion of theoretical and ethical issues (2017)
Journal Article
Blackie, L. E., Hitchcott, N., & Joseph, S. (2017). Looking for post-traumatic growth in perpetrators of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda: a discussion of theoretical and ethical issues. https://doi.org/10.21039/jpr.v1i1.39

The theory of post-traumatic growth claims that, in the struggle to overcome difficult experiences, individuals may identify positive ways in which the experience has changed them. There is extensive evidence of survivors of extreme adversities repor...

When is working memory important for arithmetic?: the impact of strategy and age (2017)
Journal Article
Cragg, L., Richardson, S., Hubber, P. J., Keeble, S., & Gilmore, C. (in press). When is working memory important for arithmetic?: the impact of strategy and age. PLoS ONE, 12(12), Article e0188693. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0188693

Our ability to perform arithmetic relies heavily on working memory, the manipulation and maintenance of information in mind. Previous research has found that in adults, procedural strategies, particularly counting, rely on working memory to a greater...

The association between cognitive performance and speech-­in-noise perception for adult listeners: a systematic literature review and meta­‐analysis (2017)
Journal Article

Published studies assessing the association between cognitive performance and speech-in-noise perception examine different aspects of each, test different listeners, and often report quite variable associations. By examining the published evidence ba...

Consciousness and Cognition, 58, 75-89. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.concog.2017.10.013

© 2017 Elsevier Inc. Much heated debate surrounds the extent to which we can process emotional stimuli without awareness. In particular the extent to which masked emotional faces can elicit changes in physiology measurements, such as heart rate and s...
