SUBTLEX-CY: A new word frequency database for Welsh (2023)
Journal Article
van Heuven, W. J. B., Payne, J. S., & Jones, M. W. (2024). SUBTLEX-CY: A new word frequency database for Welsh. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 77(5), 1052-1067. https://doi.org/10.1177/17470218231190315

We present SUBTLEX-CY, a new word frequency database created from a 32-million-word corpus of Welsh television subtitles. An experiment comprising a lexical decision task examined SUBTLEX-CY frequency estimates against words with inconsistent frequen...

Two-Dimensional Population Receptive Field Mapping of Human Primary Somatosensory Cortex (2023)
Journal Article
Asghar, M., Sanchez-Panchuelo, R., Schluppeck, D., & Francis, S. (2023). Two-Dimensional Population Receptive Field Mapping of Human Primary Somatosensory Cortex. Brain Topography, 36, 816-834. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10548-023-01000-8

Functional magnetic resonance imaging can provide detailed maps of how sensory space is mapped in the human brain. Here, we use a novel 16 stimulator setup (a 4 × 4 grid) to measure two-dimensional sensory maps of between and within-digit (D2–D4) spa...

Can we manipulate brain connectivity? A systematic review of cortico-cortical paired associative stimulation effects (2023)
Journal Article

Objective
Cortico-cortical paired associative stimulation (ccPAS) is a form of dual-site transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) entailing a series of single-TMS pulses paired at specific interstimulus intervals (ISI) delivered to distant cortical a...

Young children’s early learning occurs in the context of the home learning environment. Here, the home literacy environment (HLE) comprises of all activities and aspects in the family that support their linguistic and literacy competencies’ developme...

Further evidence for the role of temporal contiguity as a determinant of overshadowing (2023)
Journal Article
Alcalá, J. A., Ogallar, P. M., Prados, J., & Urcelay, G. P. (2024). Further evidence for the role of temporal contiguity as a determinant of overshadowing. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 77(7), 1375-1389. https://doi.org/10.1177/17470218231197170

Three experiments explored whether weakening temporal contiguity between auditory cues and an aversive outcome attenuated cue competition in an avoidance learning task with human participants. Overall, with strong temporal contiguity between auditory... Read More about Further evidence for the role of temporal contiguity as a determinant of overshadowing.

Attitudes to the use of animals in biomedical research: Effects of stigma and selected research project summaries (2023)
Journal Article

Attitudes to the use of animals in biomedical research: Effects of stigma and selected research project summaries. PLoS ONE, 18(8), Article e0290232. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0290232

Three groups of participants (largely recruited from the UK) completed a survey to examine attitudes to the use of animals in biomedical research, after reading the lay (N = 182) or technical (N = 201) summary of a research project, or no summary (N...

Schizotypy dimensions do not predict overshadowing (2023)
Journal Article
Quigley, M., Bradley, A., & Haselgrove, M. (2023). Schizotypy dimensions do not predict overshadowing. Behavioural Brain Research, 453, Article 114631. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2023.114631

When two cues are presented together and reliably predict an outcome (AB-O1) an “overshadowing” effect is typically observed. That is, the relationship between these cues and the outcome is learned about less well than a cue presented on its own with... Read More about Schizotypy dimensions do not predict overshadowing.

Developmental changes in individual alpha frequency: Recording EEG data during public engagement events (2023)
Journal Article
Turner, C., Baylan, S., Bracco, M., Cruz, G., Hanzal, S., Keime, M., Kuye, I., McNeill, D., Ng, Z., van der Plas, M., Ruzzoli, M., Thut, G., Trajkovic, J., Veniero, D., Wale, S. P., Whear, S., & Learmonth, G. (2023). Developmental changes in individual alpha frequency: Recording EEG data during public engagement events. Imaging Neuroscience, 1, 1-14. https://doi.org/10.1162/imag_a_00001

Statistical power in cognitive neuroimaging experiments is often very low. Low sample size can reduce the likelihood of detecting real effects (false negatives) and increase the risk of detecting non-existing effects by chance (false positives). Here...
