The ‘Saw but Forgot’ error: A role for short-term memory failures in understanding junction crashes? (2019)
Journal Article

Motorcyclists are involved in an exceptionally high number of crashes for the distance they travel, with one of the most common incidents being where another road user pulls out into the path of an oncoming motorcycle frequently resulting in a fatal...

A New Methodological Approach for Evaluating the Impact of Educational Intervention Implementation on Learning Outcomes (2019)
Journal Article

Randomised control trials (RCTs) are commonly regarded as the 'gold standard' for evaluating educational interventions. While this experimental design is valuable in establishing causal relationships between the tested intervention and outcomes, reli...

To Help or Punish in the Face of Unfairness: Men and Women Prefer Mutually-Beneficial Strategies over Punishment in a Sexual Selection Contest (2019)
Journal Article

Consistent with a sexual selection account of cooperation, based on female choice, men, in romantic contexts, in general display mutually-beneficial behaviour and women choose men who do so. This evidence is based on a two-choice-architecture (cooper...

The Minds of God, Mortals, and In-betweens: Children's Developing Understanding of Extraordinary and Ordinary Minds across Four Countries (2019)
Journal Article

Several theory-of-mind (ToM) studies have explored how children differentiate ordinary minds (humans, dogs) and extraordinary minds (God, spirits), but these studies have yielded divergent results and interpretations and have not offered cross-cultur...

How does drivers’ visual search change as a function of experience? A systematic review and meta-analysis (2019)
Journal Article

Novice drivers are statistically over-represented in reported road crashes, with recent evidence suggesting that some of this increased crash involvement may be a result of limitations in their cognitive processing. Such processing has typically been... Read More about How does drivers’ visual search change as a function of experience? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Effects of single session cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation on tic symptoms in Tourette's syndrome (2019)
Journal Article

Tourette syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by motor and phonic tics. For some, tics can be managed using medication and/or forms of behavioural therapy, however, adverse side effects and access to specialist resources can be bar...

Identifying nonlinear dynamical systems via generative recurrent neural networks with applications to fMRI (2019)
Journal Article

A major tenet in theoretical neuroscience is that cognitive and behavioral processes are ultimately implemented in terms of the neural system dynamics. Accordingly, a major aim for the analysis of neurophysiological measurements should lie in the ide...

The power of nothing: Risk preference in pigeons, but not people, is driven primarily by avoidance of zero outcomes (2019)
Journal Article

Both human and non-human animals regularly need to make choices where the outcomes of their actions are unpredictable or probabilistic in some way. These are often termed “risky” choices. Faced with uncertain rewards, people (Homo sapiens) and pigeon... Read More about The power of nothing: Risk preference in pigeons, but not people, is driven primarily by avoidance of zero outcomes.

Beyond Description: The Predictive Role of Affect, Memory, and Context in the Decision to Donate or Not Donate Blood (2019)
Journal Article

Research on the recruitment and retention of blood donors has typically drawn on a homogeneous set of descriptive theories, viewing the decision to become and remain a donor as the outcome of affectively cold, planned, and rational decision-making by...

The dynamic relationship between pain, depression and cognitive function in a sample of newly diagnosed arthritic adults: a cross-lagged panel model (2019)
Journal Article

Background: Pain and depression are common in the population and co-morbid with each other. Both are also predictive of one another other, and are also associated with cognitive function; people who are in greater pain and more depressed respectively... Read More about The dynamic relationship between pain, depression and cognitive function in a sample of newly diagnosed arthritic adults: a cross-lagged panel model.

Web Scraping Using R (2019)
Journal Article

The ubiquitous use of the Internet in daily life means that there are now large reservoirs of data that can provide fresh insights into human behavior. One of the key barriers preventing more researchers from utilizing online data is that they do not... Read More about Web Scraping Using R.

On the Likelihood of Surrogates Conforming to the Substituted Judgment Standard When Making End-of-Life Decisions for Their Partner (2019)
Journal Article

A considerable proportion of end-of-life decisions are made by the patient’s next-of-kin, who can be asked to follow the substituted judgment standard and decide based on the patient’s wishes. The question of whether these surrogate decision makers a...

Distinguishing suicide ideation from suicide attempts: Further test of the Integrated Motivational-Volitional Model of Suicidal Behaviour (2019)
Journal Article

Suicidal behaviour poses a significant public health concern. Research into the factors that distinguish between the emergence of suicide ideation and the enactment of a suicide attempt is crucial. This study tests central tenets of the Integrated Mo...

The neural bases of resilient cognitive systems: Evidence of variable neuro-displacement in the semantic system (2019)
Other

The purpose of this study was to initiate exploration of an equally-important research goal: what are the neurocomputational mechanisms that make these cognitive systems “well engineered” and thus resilient across a range of performance demands and t...
