Journal Article
Fear, E. J., Torkelsen, F. H., Zamboni, E., Chen, K., Scott, M., Jeffery, G., …Kennerley, A. J. (2023). Use of 31P magnetisation transfer magnetic resonance spectroscopy to measure ATP changes after 670 nm transcranial photobiomodulation in older adults. Aging Cell, 22(11), Article e14005. https://doi.org/10.1111/acel.14005

Mitochondrial function declines with age, and many pathological processes in neurodegenerative diseases stem from this dysfunction when mitochondria fail to produce the necessary energy required. Photobiomodulation (PBM), long‐wavelength light therap...

We investigated the role of implicit and explicit associations between harm and COVID-19 vaccines using a large sample (N = 4668) of online volunteers. The participants completed a brief implicit association test and explicit measures to evaluate the...

The effect of unisensory and multisensory information on lexical decision and free recall in young and older adults (2023)
Journal Article
Atkin, C., Stacey, J. E., Roberts, K. L., Allen, H. A., Henshaw, H., & Badham, S. P. (2023). The effect of unisensory and multisensory information on lexical decision and free recall in young and older adults. Scientific Reports, 13, Article 16575. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-023-41791-1

Studies using simple low-level stimuli show that multisensory stimuli lead to greater improvements in processing speed for older adults than young adults. However, there is insufficient evidence to explain how these benefits influence performance for...

Refusing to Pay Taxes: Loneliness, Conspiracy Theorizing, and Non-Normative Political Action (2023)
Journal Article
Jolley, D., Paterson, J., & Thomas, R. (2023). Refusing to Pay Taxes: Loneliness, Conspiracy Theorizing, and Non-Normative Political Action. Social Psychology, 54(5), 308-319. https://doi.org/10.1027/1864-9335/a000529

Conspiracy theorising can motivate non-normative intentions (e.g., tax evasion and violence). However, less is known about the contributors of these conspiracy-inspired intentions or if they translate into behaviours. Two studies (N = 1,155) found a...

No evidence of fast mapping in healthy adults using an implicit memory measure: failures to replicate the lexical competition results of Coutanche and Thompson-Schill (2014) (2023)
Journal Article
Gurunandan, K., Cooper, E., Tibon, R., Henson, R. N., & Greve, A. (2023). No evidence of fast mapping in healthy adults using an implicit memory measure: failures to replicate the lexical competition results of Coutanche and Thompson-Schill (2014). Memory, 31(10), 1320-1339. https://doi.org/10.1080/09658211.2023.2262188

Fast mapping (FM) is a hypothetical, incidental learning process that allows rapid acquisition of new words. Using an implicit reaction time measure in a FM paradigm, Coutanche and Thompson-Schill (Coutanche, M. N., & Thompson-Schill, S. L. (2014). F...

Introduction
We investigated whether the Death/Suicide Implicit Association Test (D/S-IAT) predicted suicidal ideation (SI) in psychiatric inpatients.

Methods
One hundred eighty veterans admitted for either SI or suicidal behavior (SB) (the prim... Read More about Predicting suicidal ideation in psychiatrically hospitalized veterans using the death/suicide Implicit Association Test: A prospective cohort study.

Spotlight - How people of colour experience and engage with climate change in Britain (2023)
Report
Ogunbode, C., Anim, N., Kidwell, J., Sawas, A., & Solanki, S. (2023). Spotlight - How people of colour experience and engage with climate change in Britain. University of Birmingham, University of Nottingham

Climate change is a globally devastating phenomenon. Our response must therefore be a globally inclusive and creative transformation. Around the world, people of colour are disproportionately affected by climate change. Some of the most devastating e...

Goodyear and Kamil (2004) assessed the ability of Clark’s nutcrackers to find buried food based on a cross-shaped array of landmarks at different distances from the goal. Their findings suggested that proximal landmarks overshadowed learning about di...
