Exploring word memorability: How well do different word properties explain item free-recall probability? (2020)
Journal Article
Madan, C. R. (2021). Exploring word memorability: How well do different word properties explain item free-recall probability?. Psychonomic Bulletin and Review, 28, 583–595. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13423-020-01820-w

What makes some words more memorable than others? Words can vary in many dimensions, and a variety of lexical, semantic, and affective properties have previously been associated with variability in recall performance. Free recall data were used from... Read More about Exploring word memorability: How well do different word properties explain item free-recall probability?.

Distributed practice is an evidence-based, learning-science strategy that is relevant to the planning and implementation of continuing professional development (CPD). Spacing-out study or practice over time allows the brain multiple opportunities to... Read More about Science of Learning Strategy Series: Article 1, Distributed Practice.

A Survey of Crowdsourcing in Medical Image Analysis (2020)
Journal Article
Ørting, S. N., Doyle, A., van Hilten, A., Hirth, M., Inel, O., Madan, C. R., Mavridis, D. P., Spiers, H., & Cheplygina, V. (2020). A Survey of Crowdsourcing in Medical Image Analysis. Human Computation, 7(1), 1-26. https://doi.org/10.15346/hc.v7i1

Rapid advances in image processing capabilities have been seen across many domains, fostered by the application of machine learning algorithms to "big-data". However, within the realm of medical image analysis, advances have been curtailed, in part,... Read More about A Survey of Crowdsourcing in Medical Image Analysis.

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...

Age-related differences in myeloarchitecture measured at 7 T (2020)
Journal Article
Carradus, A. J., Mougin, O., Hunt, B. A., Tewarie, P. K., Geades, N., Morris, P. G., Brookes, M. J., Gowland, P. A., & Madan, C. R. (2020). Age-related differences in myeloarchitecture measured at 7 T. Neurobiology of Aging, 96, 246-254. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2020.08.009

We have used the magnetisation transfer (MT) MRI measure as a primary measure of myelination in both the grey matter (GM) of the 78 cortical automated anatomical labelling (AAL) regions of the brain, and the underlying white matter in each region, in...

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.

Semi-automated transcription and scoring of autobiographical memory narratives (2020)
Journal Article
Wardell, V., Esposito, C., Madan, C. R., & Palombo, D. (2021). Semi-automated transcription and scoring of autobiographical memory narratives. Behavior Research Methods, 53, 507–517. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13428-020-01437-w

Autobiographical memory studies conducted with narrative methods are onerous, requiring significant resources in time and labor. We have created a semi-automated process that allows autobiographical transcribing and scoring methods to be streamlined....
