The Development of Selective Copying: Children's Learning From an Expert Versus Their Mother (2016)
Journal Article
Lucas, A. J., Burdett, E. R. R., Burgess, V., Wood, L. A., McGuigan, N., Harris, P. L., & Whiten, A. (2017). The Development of Selective Copying: Children's Learning From an Expert Versus Their Mother. Child Development, 88(6), 2026-2042. https://doi.org/10.1111/cdev.12711

© 2016 The Authors. Child Development © 2016 Society for Research in Child Development, Inc. This study tested the prediction that, with age, children should rely less on familiarity and more on expertise in their selective social learning. Experimen...

Overshadowing depends on cue and reinforcement sensitivity but not schizotypy (2016)
Journal Article
Pickett, C., Cassaday, H. J., & Bibby, P. A. (2017). Overshadowing depends on cue and reinforcement sensitivity but not schizotypy. Behavioural Brain Research, 321, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2016.12.031

There is evidence for impaired selective learning mechanisms in individuals high in schizotypy. Overshadowing provides a direct test of selective learning based on cue salience and has previously been reported to be impaired in relation to schizotypy...

Generalization of prior information for rapid Bayesian time estimation (2016)
Journal Article
Roach, N. W., McGraw, P. V., Whitaker, D., & Heron, J. (2017). Generalization of prior information for rapid Bayesian time estimation. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 114(2), 412-417. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1610706114

To enable effective interaction with the environment, the brain combines noisy sensory information with expectations based on prior experience. There is ample evidence showing that humans can learn statistical regularities in sensory input and exploi... Read More about Generalization of prior information for rapid Bayesian time estimation.

Public health messages about antibiotic treatment for respiratory tract infection may increase perceived symptom severity reporting (2016)
Journal Article
Lawrence, C., & Eamonn, F. (2019). Public health messages about antibiotic treatment for respiratory tract infection may increase perceived symptom severity reporting. Journal of Health Psychology, 24(5), 623-627. https://doi.org/10.1177/1359105316683242

Public health campaigns to reduce expectations for antibiotic treatment for respiratory tract infections (RTIs) have shown little or no effect on antibiotic prescribing and consumption. We examined whether such messages can increase RTI symptom repor...

Interpersonal movement synchrony facilitates pro-social behavior in children's peer-play (2016)
Journal Article
Tunçgenç, B., & Cohen, E. (2018). Interpersonal movement synchrony facilitates pro-social behavior in children's peer-play. Developmental Science, 21(1), 1-10. https://doi.org/10.1111/desc.12505

© 2016 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. The emergence of pro-social behaviors and social interaction skills is a major focus of research on children's development. Here, we consider one important feature of human social interactions, interpersonal movement s...

Bidirectional effects of cannabidiol on contextual fear memory extinction (2016)
Journal Article
Song, C., Stevenson, C. W., Guimaraes, F. S., & Lee, J. L. (2016). Bidirectional effects of cannabidiol on contextual fear memory extinction. Frontiers in Pharmacology, 7(493), https://doi.org/10.3389/fphar.2016.00493

Cannabidiol (CBD) has been established to have both acute and long-lasting effects to reduce fear memory expression. The long-lasting impact might be mediated by an enhancement of memory extinction or an impairment of memory reconsolidation. Here, we...

Discordant inflammation and pain in early and established rheumatoid arthritis: Latent Class Analysis of Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Network and British Society for Rheumatology Biologics Register data (2016)
Journal Article
McWilliams, D. F., Ferguson, E., Young, A., Kiely, P. D., & Walsh, D. A. (2016). Discordant inflammation and pain in early and established rheumatoid arthritis: Latent Class Analysis of Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Network and British Society for Rheumatology Biologics Register data. Arthritis Research and Therapy, 18(1), Article 295. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13075-016-1186-8

Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity is often measured using the 28 joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28). We aimed to identify and independently verify subgroups of people with RA that may be discordant with respect to self-reported...

Multiple-stage ambiguity in motion perception reveals global computation of local motion directions (2016)
Journal Article
Rider, A. T., Nishida, S., & Johnston, A. (2016). Multiple-stage ambiguity in motion perception reveals global computation of local motion directions. Journal of Vision, 16(15), Article 7. https://doi.org/10.1167/16.15.7

The motion of a 1D image feature, such as a line, seen through a small aperture, or the small receptive field of a neural motion sensor, is underconstrained, and it is not possible to derive the true motion direction from a single local measurement....

On the antecedents of an electrophysiological signature of retrieval mode (2016)
Journal Article
Williams, A. N., Evans, L. H., Herron, J. E., & Wilding, E. L. (2016). On the antecedents of an electrophysiological signature of retrieval mode. PLoS ONE, 11(12), Article e0167574. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0167574

It has been proposed that people employ a common set of sustained operations (retrieval mode) when preparing to remember different kinds of episodic information. In two experiments, however, there was no evidence for the pattern of brain activity com... Read More about On the antecedents of an electrophysiological signature of retrieval mode.
