Retinotopy drives the variation in scene responses across visual field map divisions of the occipital place area (2024)
Journal Article
Scrivener, C. L., Zamboni, E., Morland, A. B., & Silson, E. H. (2024). Retinotopy drives the variation in scene responses across visual field map divisions of the occipital place area. Journal of Vision, 24(8), 1-20. https://doi.org/10.1167/jov.24.8.10

The occipital place area (OPA) is a scene-selective region on the lateral surface of human occipitotemporal cortex that spatially overlaps multiple visual field maps, as well as portions of cortex that are not currently defined as retinotopic. Here w... Read More about Retinotopy drives the variation in scene responses across visual field map divisions of the occipital place area.

Older adults do not show enhanced benefits from multisensory information on speeded perceptual discrimination tasks (2024)
Journal Article
Atkin, C., Stacey, J. E., Allen, H. A., Henshaw, H., Roberts, K. L., & Badham, S. P. (2024). Older adults do not show enhanced benefits from multisensory information on speeded perceptual discrimination tasks. Neurobiology of Aging, 142, 65-72. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2024.08.003

Some research has shown that older adults benefit more from multisensory information than do young adults. However, more recent evidence has shown that the multisensory age benefit varies considerably across tasks. In the current study, older (65 – 8...

The present investigation sought to evaluate the influence of active and blended learning approaches to teaching on student engagement, learning gains, confidence, and sense of belonging in their psychology course. Two-hundred and eighty-four student... Read More about Students engage with and benefit from active learning when this is appropriately embedded in curriculum design.

Do neuroticism and efficacy beliefs moderate the relationship between climate change worry and mental wellbeing? (2024)
Journal Article
Ogunbode, C. A., Salmela-Aro, K., Maran, D. A., van den Broek, K., Doran, R., Lins, S., Torres-Marín, J., Navarro-Carrillo, G., Rocchi, G., & Schermer, J. A. (2024).

Journal of Affective Disorders, 364, 37-40. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jad.2024.08.018

Background: Research on the nature and prevalence of phenomena like climate anxiety (or eco-anxiety) is increasing rapidly but there is little understanding of the conditions under which climate change worry becomes more or less likely to significant...

The cultural construction of “executive function” (2024)
Preprint / Working Paper
Kroupin, I., Davis, H. E., Burdett, E., Cuata, A. B., Hartley, V., & Henrich, J. The cultural construction of “executive function”

In theory, the term "executive function" (EF) refers to universal features of the mind. Yet, almost all results described as measuring "EF" may actually reflect culturally-specific cognitive capacities. After all, typical EF measures require forms of...

Do moral values change with the seasons? (2024)
Journal Article
Hohm, I., O'Shea, B. A., & Schaller, M. (2024). Do moral values change with the seasons?. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 121(33), Article e2313428121. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2313428121

Moral values guide consequential attitudes and actions. Here, we report evidence of seasonal variation in Americans’ endorsement of some—but not all—moral values. Studies 1 and 2 examined a decade of data from the United States (total N = 232,975) an... Read More about Do moral values change with the seasons?.

Renewal of instrumental avoidance in humans. (2024)
Journal Article
Urcelay, G. P., Symmons, K., Amos, B., Toutounji, H., & Prével, A. (2024). Renewal of instrumental avoidance in humans. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Learning and Cognition, 50(3), 197–209. https://doi.org/10.1037/xan0000383

The ABA renewal effect occurs when behaviour is trained in one context (A), extinguished in a second context (B), and test occurs in the training context (A). Two mechanisms that explain ABA renewal are context summation at test and contextual modula... Read More about Renewal of instrumental avoidance in humans..

The role of task on the human brain's responses to, and representation of, visual regularity defined by reflection and rotation (2024)
Journal Article
Zamboni, E., Makin, A. D., Bertamini, M., & Morland, A. B. (2024). The role of task on the human brain's responses to, and representation of, visual regularity defined by reflection and rotation. NeuroImage, 297, Article 120760. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2024.120760

Identifying and segmenting objects in an image is generally achieved effortlessly and is facilitated by the presence of symmetry: a principle of perceptual organisation used to interpret sensory inputs from the retina into meaningful representations...

Policy Brief: Autism and Policing (2024)
Report
Ropar, D., & Holloway-George, C. (2024). Policy Brief: Autism and Policing. University of Nottingham

More than one in 100 people in the UK are autistic. Despite the prevalence of autism within society, autistic people face barriers in
their everyday lives. One example of this is within the criminal justice system.

Autistic people are more likely... Read More about Policy Brief: Autism and Policing.

Motor cortex latent dynamics encode spatial and temporal arm movement parameters independently. (2024)
Journal Article
Colins Rodriguez, A., Perich, M. G., Miller, L., & Humphries, M. D. (2024). Motor cortex latent dynamics encode spatial and temporal arm movement parameters independently. Journal of Neuroscience, 44(35), Article e1777232024. https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1777-23.2024

The fluid movement of an arm requires multiple spatiotemporal parameters to be set independently. Recent studies have argued that arm movements are generated by the collective dynamics of neurons in motor cortex. An untested prediction of this hypoth...
