Examining within-person relationships between state assessments of affect and eudaimonic well-being using multi-level structural equation modeling (2020)
Journal Article
Jayawickreme, E., Tsukayama, E., Blackie, L. E., & Weiss, B. (2021). Examining within-person relationships between state assessments of affect and eudaimonic well-being using multi-level structural equation modeling. Journal of Positive Psychology, 16(5), 691-700. https://doi.org/10.1080/17439760.2020.1818811

Prior research has highlighted the possibility that current affect may be interchangeable with state assessments of other dimensions of subjective well-being. In the present study, we conducted a systematic replication and extension by examining the...

Psychological and Demographic Predictors of Plastic Bag Consumption in Transaction Data (2020)
Journal Article
Lavelle-Hill, R., Goulding, J., Smith, G., Clarke, D., & Bibby, P. (2020). Psychological and Demographic Predictors of Plastic Bag Consumption in Transaction Data. Journal of Environmental Psychology, 72, Article 101473. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvp.2020.101473

Despite the success of plastic bag charges in the UK, there are still around a billion single-use plastic bags bought each year in England alone, and the government have made plans to increase the levy from 5 to 10 pence. Previous research has identi... Read More about Psychological and Demographic Predictors of Plastic Bag Consumption in Transaction Data.

Advancing Our Understanding of Self-harm, Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviours in Autism (2020)
Journal Article
Cassidy, S. A., Robertson, A., Townsend, E., O’Connor, R. C., & Rodgers, J. (2020). Advancing Our Understanding of Self-harm, Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviours in Autism. Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50, 3445–3449. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10803-020-04643-9

Until recently, self-harm, suicidal thoughts and behaviours have not received extensive attention in autism research. The extant research evidence indicates high rates of selfharm and suicidality in autistic people, but little research exploring why,...

Rethinking the definition of episodic memory. (2020)
Journal Article
Madan, C. R. (2020). Rethinking the definition of episodic memory. Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology, 74(3), 183-192. https://doi.org/10.1037/cep0000229

The definition of episodic memory, as proposed by Tulving, includes a requirement of conscious recall. As we are unable to assess this aspect of memory in nonhuman animals, many researchers have referred to demonstrations of what would otherwise be c...

Development and decay of procedural skills in surgery: A systematic review of the effectiveness of simulated-based medical education interventions (2020)
Journal Article
Higgins, M., Madan, C., & Patel, R. (2021). Development and decay of procedural skills in surgery: A systematic review of the effectiveness of simulated-based medical education interventions. The Surgeon, 19(4), e67-e77. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.surge.2020.07.013

Context
Changes to surgical training programmes in the UK has led to a reduction in theatre time for trainees, and an increasing reliance on simulation to provide procedural experience. Whilst simulation offers opportunity for repetitive practice, t...

Considerations for comparing video-game AI agents with humans (2020)
Journal Article
Madan, C. R. (2020). Considerations for comparing video-game AI agents with humans. Challenges, 11(2), Article 18. https://doi.org/10.3390/challe11020018

Video games are sometimes used as environments to evaluate AI agents’ ability to develop and execute complex action sequences to maximize a defined reward. However, humans cannot match the fine precision of the timed actions of AI agents; in games su... Read More about Considerations for comparing video-game AI agents with humans.

Osiurak and Reynaud argue that children are not a good methodological choice to examine cumulative technological culture. However, the manuscript ignores other current work that suggests that young children do display some aspects of creative problem...
