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?.

Science of Learning Strategy Series: Article 1, Distributed Practice (2020)
Journal Article
Van Hoof, T. J., Sumeracki, M. A., & Madan, C. R. (2021). Science of Learning Strategy Series: Article 1, Distributed Practice. Journal of Continuing Education in the Health Professions, 41(1), 59-62. https://doi.org/10.1097/CEH.0000000000000315

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.

Neural and behavioral traces of error awareness (2020)
Journal Article
Kirschner, H., Humann, J., Derrfuss, J., Danielmeier, C., & Ullsperger, M. (2021). Neural and behavioral traces of error awareness. Cognitive, Affective, and Behavioral Neuroscience, 21, 573-591. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13415-020-00838-w

Monitoring for errors and behavioral adjustments after errors are essential for daily life. A question that has not been addressed systematically yet, is whether consciously perceived errors lead to different behavioral adjustments compared to unperc...

The Effect of a Secondary Task on Drivers’ Gap Acceptance and Situational Awareness at Junctions (2020)
Journal Article
Robbins, C. J., Rogers, J., Walton, S., Allen, H. A., & Chapman, P. (2021). The Effect of a Secondary Task on Drivers’ Gap Acceptance and Situational Awareness at Junctions. Ergonomics, 64(2), 184-198. https://doi.org/10.1080/00140139.2020.1822548

The current studies explored the roles of the visuospatial and phonological working memory subsystems on drivers’ gap acceptance and memory for approaching vehicles at junctions. Drivers’ behaviour was measured in a high-fidelity driving simulator wh... Read More about The Effect of a Secondary Task on Drivers’ Gap Acceptance and Situational Awareness at Junctions.

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.

Conspiracy Theories in the Classroom: Problems and Potential Solutions (2020)
Journal Article

Conspiracy narratives and speculative rumors of a conspiracist nature are intermittently popular in youth culture, as well as in political discourse. The general motivations of conspiracy beliefs relate to essential needs (for knowledge, to feel safe... Read More about Conspiracy Theories in the Classroom: Problems and Potential Solutions.

Computerised Assessment of Motor Imitation (CAMI) as a scalable method for distinguishing children with autism (2020)
Journal Article
Tunçgenç, B., Pacheco, C., Rochowiak, R., Nicholas, R., Rengarajan, S., Zou, E., Messenger, B., Vidal, R., & Mostofsky, S. H. (2021). Computerised Assessment of Motor Imitation (CAMI) as a scalable method for distinguishing children with autism. Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging, 6(3), 321-328. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bpsc.2020.09.001

Background
Imitation deficits are prevalent in autism spectrum conditions (ASCs) and are associated with core autistic traits. Imitating others’ actions is central to the development of social skills in typically developing populations, as it facili...

Exploring predictors of Australian community members' blood donation intentions and blood donation–related behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020)
Journal Article
Masser, B. M., Hyde, M. K., & Ferguson, E. (2020). Exploring predictors of Australian community members' blood donation intentions and blood donation–related behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic. Transfusion, 60(12), 2907-2917. https://doi.org/10.1111/trf.16067

Background: With the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continuing to accelerate and blood collection agencies (BCAs) warning of shortages, it is critical to identify the current determinants of donor behavior for donors and nondonors. Stud... Read More about Exploring predictors of Australian community members' blood donation intentions and blood donation–related behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic.
