Assessing the influence of affective attitudes, demography and blood donor status on organ donor registration active decisions in opt-out systems (2023)
Journal Article
Shepherd, L., O'Carroll, R., & Ferguson, E. (2024). Assessing the influence of affective attitudes, demography and blood donor status on organ donor registration active decisions in opt-out systems. Journal of Health Psychology, 29(8), 825-835. https://doi.org/10.1177/13591053231208531

In contrast to opt-in systems, relatively little is known about what influences whether or not people register a decision about organ donation in opt-out systems. We address this gap in the literature. Participants (N = 756) living in a country with...

Event probabilities have a different impact on early and late electroencephalographic measures regarded as metrics of prediction (2023)
Journal Article
Saurels, B. W., Johnston, A., Yarrow, K., & Arnold, D. H. (2024). Event probabilities have a different impact on early and late electroencephalographic measures regarded as metrics of prediction. Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 36(1), 187-199. https://doi.org/10.1162/jocn_a_02076

The oddball protocol has been used to study the neural and perceptual consequences of implicit predictions in the human brain. The protocol involves presenting a sequence of identical repeated events that are eventually broken by a novel "oddball" pr...

How do explicit, implicit, and sociodemographic measures relate to concurrent suicidal ideation? A comparative machine learning approach (2023)
Journal Article
Freichel, R., Kahveci, S., & O’Shea, B. (2024). How do explicit, implicit, and sociodemographic measures relate to concurrent suicidal ideation? A comparative machine learning approach. Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, 54(1), 49-60. https://doi.org/10.1111/sltb.13017

Introduction: Suicide is a leading cause of death, and decades of research have identified a range of risk factors, including demographics, past self‐injury and suicide attempts, and explicit suicide cognitions. More recently, implicit self‐harm and... Read More about How do explicit, implicit, and sociodemographic measures relate to concurrent suicidal ideation? A comparative machine learning approach.

Higher level domain specific skills in mathematics; The relationship between algebra, geometry, executive function skills and mathematics achievement (2023)
Journal Article
Spiller, J., Clayton, S., Cragg, L., Johnson, S., Simms, V., & Gilmore, C. (2023). Higher level domain specific skills in mathematics; The relationship between algebra, geometry, executive function skills and mathematics achievement. PLoS ONE, 18(11), Article e0291796. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0291796

Algebra and geometry are important components of mathematics that are often considered gatekeepers for future success. However, most studies that have researched the cognitive skills required for success in mathematics have only considered the domain...

Spatial contextual cues that help predict how a target will accelerate can be used to guide interception (2023)
Journal Article
Crowe, E. M., Smeets, J. B., & Brenner, E. (2023). Spatial contextual cues that help predict how a target will accelerate can be used to guide interception. Journal of Vision, 23(12), Article 7. https://doi.org/10.1167/jov.23.12.7

Objects in one's environment do not always move at a constant velocity but often accelerate or decelerate. People are very poor at visually judging acceleration and normally make systematic errors when trying to intercept accelerating objects. If the...

Psychological literacy refers to the ability of a psychology student to use psychological knowledge, rather than merely learn it, in the context of personal, social, and organizational issues. Embedding psychological literacy in assessment is a criti... Read More about Applied Scenarios: Embedding Psychological Literacy in Assessment.

Stunting in infancy is associated with atypical activation of working memory and attention networks (2023)
Journal Article
Wijeakumar, S., Forbes, S. H., Magnotta, V. A., Deoni, S., Jackson, K., Singh, V. P., …Spencer, J. P. (2023). Stunting in infancy is associated with atypical activation of working memory and attention networks. Nature Human Behaviour, 7(12), 2199–2211. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41562-023-01725-3

AbstractStunting is associated with poor long-term cognitive, academic and economic outcomes, yet the mechanisms through which stunting impacts cognition in early development remain unknown. In a first-ever neuroimaging study conducted on infants fro... Read More about Stunting in infancy is associated with atypical activation of working memory and attention networks.
