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..

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...

The fear factor: examining the impact of fear on vaccine hesitancy and anti-vaccine conspiracy beliefs (2024)
Journal Article
Jolley, D., Shepherd, L., & Maughan, A. (2024). The fear factor: examining the impact of fear on vaccine hesitancy and anti-vaccine conspiracy beliefs. Psychology and Health, https://doi.org/10.1080/08870446.2024.2381235

Objectives: While anti-vaccine conspiracy beliefs can reduce vaccine intentions, longitudinal research shows that vaccine hesitancy can increase conspiracy beliefs. In three experiments (N = 949), we examined the effect of fear about a vaccine on vac...

Background: In the United Kingdom, more than 2.5 million adults with undiagnosed neurodevelopmental conditions, such as autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), can face difficulties accessing diagnosis and support. Our qualitative... Read More about “Going Through Life on Hard Mode”—The Experience of Late Diagnosis of Autism and/or ADHD: A Qualitative Study.

Conditioning and Associative Learning (2024)
Book Chapter
Mason, A., Ludvig, E. A., & Madan, C. R. (2024). Conditioning and Associative Learning. In M. J. Kahana, & A. D. Wagner (Eds.), The Oxford Handbook of Human Memory (334–352). Oxford University Press. https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/82nqj

Associative learning is the process whereby humans and other animals learn the predictive relationship between cues in their environment. This process underlies simple forms of learning from rewards, such as classical and operant conditioning. This c... Read More about Conditioning and Associative Learning.

How Do Autistic Students Do in the Eyes of Their Peers? Non-Autistic Judgments About the Academic Experiences of Autistic and Non-Autistic University Students, Based on Brief Samples of Behavior (2024)
Journal Article
Alhusayni, A., Sheppard, E., Mitchell, P., & Marsh, L. (2024). How Do Autistic Students Do in the Eyes of Their Peers? Non-Autistic Judgments About the Academic Experiences of Autistic and Non-Autistic University Students, Based on Brief Samples of Behavior. Autism in Adulthood, https://doi.org/10.1089/aut.2023.0049

Background: Previous research has found that people can make a variety of judgments about others based on brief samples of their behavior such as judging their social favorability and whether they wish to socialize with them. Non-autistic people freq... Read More about How Do Autistic Students Do in the Eyes of Their Peers?
