Journal Article
Cutter, M. G., Paterson, K. B., & Filik, R. (2022). No evidence of word-level uncertainty in younger and older adults in self-paced reading. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, https://doi.org/10.1177/17470218211045987

In a self-paced reading study, we investigated whether older adults maintain a greater level of uncertainty about the identity of words in a sentence than younger adults, potentially due to deficits in visuo-perceptual processing of high-spatial freq...

Irony as a Test of the Presupposition-Denial Account: An ERP Study (2021)
Journal Article
Filik, R., Ingram, J., Moxey, L., Leuthold, H., & Ingram, J. (2021). Irony as a Test of the Presupposition-Denial Account: An ERP Study. Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 50(6), 1321-1335. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10936-021-09795-y

According to the Presupposition-Denial Account, complement set reference arises when focus is on the shortfall between the amount conveyed by a natural language quantifier and a larger, expected amount. Negative quantifiers imply a shortfall, through... Read More about Irony as a Test of the Presupposition-Denial Account: An ERP Study.

Strain comparisons in inhibitory discrimination learning and novel object recognition procedures (2021)
Journal Article

Transfer of negative valence in an episodic memory task (2021)
Journal Article
Palombo, D. J., Elizur, L., Tuen, Y. J., Te, A. A., & Madan, C. R. (2021). Transfer of negative valence in an episodic memory task. Cognition, 217, 1-11. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2021.104874

Emotion can color what we perceive and subsequently remember in myriad ways. Indeed, it is well established that emotion enhances some aspects of memory, while impairing others. For example, a number of recent episodic memory studies show that emotio... Read More about Transfer of negative valence in an episodic memory task.

Resilience and vulnerability factors influence the cortisol awakening response in individuals vulnerable to suicide (2021)
Journal Article
O'Connor, D. B., Branley-Bell, D., Green, J. A., Ferguson, E., O'Carroll, R. E., & O'Connor, R. C. (2021). Resilience and vulnerability factors influence the cortisol awakening response in individuals vulnerable to suicide. Journal of Psychiatric Research, 142, 312-320. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jpsychires.2021.08.006

Suicide is a global health issue. Dysregulated hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity, as measured by cortisol levels, has been identified as one potential risk factor. Evidence is emerging to suggest that different psychological factors...

Ratlas-LH: An MRI template of the Lister hooded rat brain with stereotaxic coordinates for neurosurgical implantations (2021)
Journal Article
Prior, M. J., Bast, T., McGarrity, S., Goldschmidt, J., Vincenz, D., Seaton, A., …Pitiot, A. (2021). Ratlas-LH: An MRI template of the Lister hooded rat brain with stereotaxic coordinates for neurosurgical implantations. Brain and Neuroscience Advances, 5,

There is currently no brain atlas available to specifically determine stereotaxic coordinates for neurosurgery in Lister hooded rats despite the popularity of this strain for behavioural neuroscience studies in the UK and elsewhere. We have created a... Read More about Ratlas-LH: An MRI template of the Lister hooded rat brain with stereotaxic coordinates for neurosurgical implantations.

Emoji as a Tool to Aid the Comprehension of Written Sarcasm: Evidence from Younger and Older Adults (2021)
Journal Article
Garcia, C., Țurcan, A., Howman, H., & Filik, R. (2022). Emoji as a Tool to Aid the Comprehension of Written Sarcasm: Evidence from Younger and Older Adults. Computers in Human Behavior, 126, Article 106971. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chb.2021.106971

There is evidence for an age-related decline in the ability to understand non-literal language such as sarcasm. There is also evidence to suggest that devices such as emoticons/emojis may influence sarcasm comprehension in younger adults. However, re...
