Thinking outside of the box II: disrupting the cognitive map (2018)
Journal Article
Buckley, M. G., Smith, A. D., & Haselgrove, M. (2019). Thinking outside of the box II: disrupting the cognitive map. Cognitive Psychology, 108, 22-41. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cogpsych.2018.11.001

A number of influential spatial learning theories posit that organisms encode a viewpoint independent (i.e. allocentric) representation of the global boundary shape of their environment in order to support spatial reorientation and place learning. In... Read More about Thinking outside of the box II: disrupting the cognitive map.

Learned changes in outcome associability (2017)
Journal Article
Quigley, M. C., Eatherington, C. J., & Haselgrove, M. (2018). Learned changes in outcome associability. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 72(2), 209-221. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470218.2017.1344258

When a cue reliably predicts an outcome, the associability of that cue will change. Associative theories of learning propose this change will persist even when the same cue is paired with a different outcome. These theories, however, do not extend th...

Thinking outside of the box: transfer of shape-based reorientation across the boundary of an arena (2016)
Journal Article
Buckley, M. G., Smith, A. D., & Haselgrove, M. (2016). Thinking outside of the box: transfer of shape-based reorientation across the boundary of an arena. Cognitive Psychology, 87, 53-87. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cogpsych.2016.04.001

The way in which human and non-human animals represent the shape of their environments remains a contentious issue. According to local theories of shape learning, organisms encode the local geometric features of the environment that signal a goal loc...

Enhanced latent inhibition in high schizotypy individuals (2015)
Journal Article
Granger, K. T., Moran, P. M., Buckley, M. G., & Haselgrove, M. (2016). Enhanced latent inhibition in high schizotypy individuals. Personality and Individual Differences, 91, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.paid.2015.11.040

Latent inhibition refers to a retardation in learning about a stimulus that has been rendered familiar by non-reinforced preexposure, relative to a non-preexposed stimulus. Latent inhibition has been shown to be inversely correlated with schizotypy,... Read More about Enhanced latent inhibition in high schizotypy individuals.

Shape shifting: Local landmarks interfere with navigation by, and recognition of, global shape (2014)
Journal Article
Buckley, M. G., Haselgrove, M., & Smith, A. D. (2014). Shape shifting: Local landmarks interfere with navigation by, and recognition of, global shape. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 40(2), 492-510. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0034901

An influential theory of spatial navigation states that the boundary shape of an environment is preferentially encoded over and above other spatial cues, such that it is impervious to interference from alternative sources of information. We explored... Read More about Shape shifting: Local landmarks interfere with navigation by, and recognition of, global shape.

Enhanced unblocking from sustained post-trial surprise (2013)
Journal Article
Haselgrove, M., Tam, S. K. E., & Jones, P. M. (2013). Enhanced unblocking from sustained post-trial surprise. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes, 39(4), 311-322. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0032569

Two appetitive conditioning experiments with rats investigated the mechanisms and properties of unblocking that results from the surprising omission of an expected post-trial unconditioned stimulus (US). Experiment 1 demonstrated unblocking under cir... Read More about Enhanced unblocking from sustained post-trial surprise.
