Journal Article
Werntz, A., O’Shea, B. A., Sjobeck, G., Howell, J., Lindgren, K. P., & Teachman, B. A. (2023). Implicit and explicit COVID-19 associations and mental health in the United States: a large-scale examination and replication. Anxiety, Stress and Coping, Article 2176486. https://doi.org/10.1080/10615806.2023.2176486

Background: Given the sensitive nature of COVID-19 beliefs, evaluating them explicitly and implicitly may provide a fuller picture of how these beliefs vary based on identities and how they relate to mental health. Objective: Three novel brief implic... Read More about Implicit and explicit COVID-19 associations and mental health in the United States: a large-scale examination and replication.

Examining the impact of major life events on the frequency and experience of daily social events (2023)
Journal Article
Jayawickreme, E., Tsukayama, E., & Blackie, L. E. (2024). Examining the impact of major life events on the frequency and experience of daily social events. Journal of Personality, 92(1), 147-161. https://doi.org/10.1111/jopy.12819

Objective: Life events can impact people's dispositional functioning by changing their state‐level patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behavior. One pathway through which this change may be facilitated is changes in the experience of daily social eve...

Incorporating heterogeneity in farmer disease control behaviour into a livestock disease transmission model (2023)
Preprint / Working Paper
Hill, E., Prosser, N., Brown, P., Ferguson, E., J. Green, M., Kaler, J., Keeling, M., & J. Tildesley, M. (2023). Incorporating heterogeneity in farmer disease control behaviour into a livestock disease transmission model

Human behaviour is critical to effective responses to livestock disease outbreaks, especially with respect to vaccination uptake. Traditionally, mathematical models used to inform this behaviour have not taken heterogeneity in farmer behaviour into a...

The first year in formal schooling improves working memory and academic abilities (2023)
Journal Article
Davidson, C., Shing, Y. L., McKay, C., Rafetseder, E., & Wijeakumar, S. (2023). The first year in formal schooling improves working memory and academic abilities. Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 60, Article 101205. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dcn.2023.101205

Neurocognition and academic abilities during the period of 4 and 7 years of age are impacted by both the transition from kindergarten to primary school and age-related developmental processes. Here, we used a school cut-off design to tease apart the... Read More about The first year in formal schooling improves working memory and academic abilities.

Assessing the reliability of web-based measurements of visual function (2023)
Journal Article
Leadbeater, R. J., McGraw, P., & Ledgeway, T. (2024). Assessing the reliability of web-based measurements of visual function. Behavior Research Methods, 56, 406-416. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13428-022-02057-2

Many behavioural phenomena have been replicated using web-based experiments, but evaluation of the agreement between objective measures of web- and lab-based performance is required if scientists and clinicians are to reap the benefits of web-based t...

Estimating the energy requirements for long term memory formation (2023)
Preprint / Working Paper
Girard, M., Jiang, J., & van Rossum, M. C. Estimating the energy requirements for long term memory formation

Brains consume metabolic energy to process information, but also to store memories. The energy required for memory formation can be substantial, for instance in fruit flies memory formation leads to a shorter lifespan upon subsequent starvation (Mery...

A comparison of temporal pathways to self-harm in young people compared to adults: A pilot test of the Card Sort Task for Self-harm online using Indicator Wave Analysis (2023)
Journal Article
Lockwood, J., Babbage, C., Bird, K., Thynne, I., Barsky, A., Clarke, D. D., & Townsend, E. (2023). A comparison of temporal pathways to self-harm in young people compared to adults: A pilot test of the Card Sort Task for Self-harm online using Indicator Wave Analysis. Frontiers in Psychiatry, 13, Article 938003. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyt.2022.938003

Background: Self-harm is complex, multifaceted, and dynamic, typically starts in adolescence, and is prevalent in young people. A novel research tool (the Card Sort Task for Self-harm; CaTS) offers a systematic approach to understanding this complexi...

fMRI evidence that hyper-caricatured faces activate object-selective cortex (2023)
Journal Article
Elson, R., Schluppeck, D., & Johnston, A. (2023). fMRI evidence that hyper-caricatured faces activate object-selective cortex. Frontiers in Psychology, 13, Article 1035524. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.1035524

Many brain imaging studies have looked at the cortical responses to object categories and faces. A popular way to manipulate face stimuli is by using a “face space,” a high dimensional representation of individual face images, with the average face l...

Decoding of human identity by computer vision and neuronal vision (2023)
Journal Article

Extracting meaning from a dynamic and variable flow of incoming information is a major goal of both natural and artificial intelligence. Computer vision (CV) guided by deep learning (DL) has made significant strides in recognizing a specific identity...
