Journal Article
Cookson, D., Jolley, D., Dempsey, R. C., & Povey, R. (2021). “If they believe, then so shall I”: Perceived beliefs of the in-group predict conspiracy theory belief. Group Processes and Intergroup Relations, 24(5), 759-782. https://doi.org/10.1177/1368430221993907

Conspiracy beliefs are widespread and can have detrimental consequences. As perceived social norms can exert a powerful influence on individuals, we investigated the relationship between perceived conspiracy belief norms and personal endorsement, and...

In this manuscript we review a seminal debate related to subliminality and concerning the relationship of consciousness, unconsciousness, and perception. We present the methodological implementations that contemporary psychology introduced to explore...

When does it pay to follow the crowd? Children optimize imitation of causally- irrelevant actions performed by a majority (2021)
Journal Article
Evans, C. L., Burdett, E. R. R., Murray, K., & Carpenter, M. (2021). When does it pay to follow the crowd? Children optimize imitation of causally- irrelevant actions performed by a majority. Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 212, Article 105229. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jecp.2021.105229

Cultural evolutionary theory posits that human cultural complexity rests on a set of adaptive learning biases that help to guide functionality and optimality in social learning, but this sits in contrast with the commonly held view that children are...

Making decisions in the dark basement of the brain: A look back at the GPR model of action selection and the basal ganglia (2021)
Journal Article
Humphries, M. D., & Gurney, K. (2021). Making decisions in the dark basement of the brain: A look back at the GPR model of action selection and the basal ganglia. Biological Cybernetics, 115(4), 323-329. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00422-021-00887-5

How does your brain decide what you will do next? Over the past few decades compelling evidence has emerged that the basal ganglia, a collection of nuclei in the fore- and mid-brain of all vertebrates, are vital to action selection. Gurney, Prescott,... Read More about Making decisions in the dark basement of the brain: A look back at the GPR model of action selection and the basal ganglia.

Attentional eye selection modulates sensory eye dominance (2021)
Journal Article
Wang, M., McGraw, P., & Ledgeway, T. (2021). Attentional eye selection modulates sensory eye dominance. Vision Research, 188, 10-25. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.visres.2021.06.006

Brief periods of monocular deprivation significantly modify binocular visual processing. For example, patching one eye for a few hours alters the inter-ocular balance, with the previously patched eye becoming dominant once the patch is removed (Lungh...

Recent evidence demonstrates that activation-dependent neuroplasticity on a structural level can occur in a short time (2 hour or less) in the human brain. However, the exact time scale of structural plasticity in the human brain remains unclear. Usi...
