British Children’s and Adults’ Perceptions of Robots (2022)
Journal Article
Burdett, E. R. R., Ikari, S., & Nakawake, Y. (2022). British Children’s and Adults’ Perceptions of Robots. Human Behavior and Emerging Technologies, 2022, Article 3813820. https://doi.org/10.1155/2022/3813820

Robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) systems are quickly becoming a familiar part of different aspects of everyday life. We know very little about how children and adults perceive the abilities of different robots and whether these ascriptions a... Read More about British Children’s and Adults’ Perceptions of Robots.

Cattle farmer psychosocial profiles and their association with control strategies for bovine viral diarrhea (2022)
Journal Article
Prosser, N. S., Green, M. J., Ferguson, E., Tildesley, M. J., Hill, E. M., Keeling, M. J., & Kaler, J. (2022). Cattle farmer psychosocial profiles and their association with control strategies for bovine viral diarrhea. Journal of Dairy Science, 105(4), 3559-3573. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2021-21386

Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) is endemic in the United Kingdom and causes major economic losses. Control is largely voluntary for individual farmers and is likely to be influenced by psychosocial factors, such as altruism, trust, and psychological prox...

Fear memory modulation by incentive down and up-shifts (2022)
Journal Article
Mugnaini, M., Alfei, J. M., Bueno, A. M., Ferrer Monti, R. I., & Urcelay, G. P. (2022). Fear memory modulation by incentive down and up-shifts. Behavioural Brain Research, 422, Article 113766. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2022.113766

Research on retrieval-induced malleability of maladaptive emotional memories has been mostly focused on the effect of drugs and extinction (i.e. post-retrieval extinction). Only a few studies addressed post-retrieval appetitive-aversive interactions.... Read More about Fear memory modulation by incentive down and up-shifts.

Life problems in children and adolescents who self-harm: findings from the multicentre study of self-harm in England (2022)
Journal Article
Townsend, E., Ness, J., Waters, K., Rehman, M., Kapur, N., Clements, C., …Hawton, K. (2022). Life problems in children and adolescents who self-harm: findings from the multicentre study of self-harm in England. Child and Adolescent Mental Health, 27(4), 352-360. https://doi.org/10.1111/camh.12544

Background: Self-harm, a significant and increasing global problem in children and adolescents, is often repeated and is associated with risk of future suicide. To identify potential interventions, we need to understand the life problems faced by chi...

The association of socio-economic and psychological factors with limitations in day-to-day activity over 7 years in newly diagnosed osteoarthritis patients (2022)
Journal Article
Kouraki, A., Bast, T., Ferguson, E., & Valdes, A. M. (2022). The association of socio-economic and psychological factors with limitations in day-to-day activity over 7 years in newly diagnosed osteoarthritis patients. Scientific Reports, 12(1), Article 943. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-04781-3

Previous research has established links between chronic pain and impaired cognitive ability, as well as between chronic pain and anxiety, in osteoarthritis. Furthermore, there is evidence linking risk of osteoarthritis to lower educational attainment...

Integrating Reward Information for Prospective Behavior (2022)
Journal Article
Hall-McMaster, S., Stokes, M. G., & Myers, N. E. (2022). Integrating Reward Information for Prospective Behavior. Journal of Neuroscience, 42(9), 1804-1819. https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1113-21.2021

Value-based decision-making is often studied in a static context, where participants decide which option to select from those currently available. However, everyday life often involves an additional dimension: deciding when to select to maximize rewa... Read More about Integrating Reward Information for Prospective Behavior.

Dimensions of Self-Reported Driving Difficulty in Autistic and Non-Autistic Adults and their Relationship with Autistic Traits (2022)
Journal Article
Sheppard, E., van Loon, E., & Ropar, D. (2023). Dimensions of Self-Reported Driving Difficulty in Autistic and Non-Autistic Adults and their Relationship with Autistic Traits. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53, 285-295. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10803-021-05420-y

A survey asked autistic and non-autistic people about the driving difficulties they experience and their autistic traits. Principle components analysis was used to identify how reported difficulties clustered together in each group, and regression wa...

Linking Multi-Modal MRI to Clinical Measures of Visual Field Loss After Stroke (2022)
Journal Article
Beh, A., McGraw, P. V., Webb, B. S., & Schluppeck, D. (2022). Linking Multi-Modal MRI to Clinical Measures of Visual Field Loss After Stroke. Frontiers in Neuroscience,

Loss of vision across large parts of the visual field is a common and devastating complication of cerebral strokes. In the clinic, this loss is quantified by measuring the sensitivity threshold across the field of vision using static perimetry. These...

Hippocampal Disinhibition Reduces Contextual and Elemental Fear Conditioning While Sparing the Acquisition of Latent Inhibition (2022)
Journal Article
Williams, S. A., Gwilt, M., Hock, R., Taylor, C., Loayza, J., Stevenson, C. W., …Bast, T. (2022). Hippocampal Disinhibition Reduces Contextual and Elemental Fear Conditioning While Sparing the Acquisition of Latent Inhibition. eNeuro, 9(1), ENEURO.0270-21.2021. https://doi.org/10.1523/eneuro.0270-21.2021

Hippocampal neural disinhibition, i.e., reduced GABAergic inhibition, is a key feature of schizophrenia pathophysiology. The hippocampus is an important part of the neural circuitry that controls fear conditioning and can also modulate prefrontal and...
