The power of nothing: Risk preference in pigeons, but not people, is driven primarily by avoidance of zero outcomes (2019)
Journal Article
Spetch, M. L., Ludvig, E. A., Madan, C. R., Pisklak, J. M., Pisklak, J. M., Madan, C. R., …Spetch, M. L. (2019). The power of nothing: Risk preference in pigeons, but not people, is driven primarily by avoidance of zero outcomes. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Learning and Cognition, 45(4), 431-445. https://doi.org/10.1037/xan0000217

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.

Effectiveness of the method of loci is only minimally related to factors that should influence imagined navigation (2019)
Journal Article
Caplan, J., Legge, E., Cheng, B., & MADAN, C. (2019). Effectiveness of the method of loci is only minimally related to factors that should influence imagined navigation. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 72(10), 2541-2553. https://doi.org/10.1177/1747021819858041

The method of loci is arguably the most famous mnemonic strategy and is highly effective for memorising lists of non-spatial information in order. As described and instructed, this strategy apparently relies on a spatial/navigational metaphor. The us...

Robust estimation of sulcal morphology (2019)
Journal Article
Madan, C. R. (2019). Robust estimation of sulcal morphology. Brain Informatics, 6, Article 5. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40708-019-0098-1

While it is well established that cortical morphology differs in relation to a variety of inter-individual factors, it is often characterized using estimates of volume, thickness, surface area, or gyrification. Here we developed a computational appro... Read More about Robust estimation of sulcal morphology.

Data visualization for inference in tomographic brain imaging (2019)
Journal Article
Pernet, C. R., Pernet, C., & Madan, C. R. (2020). Data visualization for inference in tomographic brain imaging. European Journal of Neuroscience, 51(3), 695-705. https://doi.org/10.1111/ejn.14430

Tomographic brain imaging has a rich iconography. Whilst figures are prepared for scientific communication (i.e., directed to other researchers) they also often end-up on magazine and journal covers (i.e., directed to a lay audience). Scientific figu... Read More about Data visualization for inference in tomographic brain imaging.

Reduced associative memory for negative information: impact of confidence and interactive imagery during study (2019)
Journal Article
Caplan, J. B., Sommer, T., Madan, C. R., & Fujiwara, E. (2019). Reduced associative memory for negative information: impact of confidence and interactive imagery during study. Cognition and Emotion, 33(8), 1745-1753. https://doi.org/10.1080/02699931.2019.1602028

Although item-memory for emotional information is enhanced, memory for associations between items is often impaired for negative, emotionally arousing compared to neutral information. We tested two possible mechanisms underlying this impairment, usin... Read More about Reduced associative memory for negative information: impact of confidence and interactive imagery during study.

Value bias of verbal memory (2019)
Journal Article
Caplan, J. B., Tomlinson, S. E., Chakravarty, S., Fujiwara, E., Madan, C., & Ober, I. (2019). Value bias of verbal memory. Journal of Memory and Language, 107, 25-39. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jml.2019.03.005

© 2019 Elsevier Inc. A common finding is that items associated with higher reward value are subsequently remembered better than items associated with lower value. A confounding factor is that when a higher value stimuli is presented, this typically s... Read More about Value bias of verbal memory.

The potential influence of reviewer recommendations on editorial decision-making. Journal: European Science Editing, 45(1), 2-5. https://doi.org/10.20316/ESE.2019.45.18013

No formal investigations have been conducted into the efficacy or potential influence of reviewer recommendations on editorial decisions, and the impact of this on the expectations and behaviour of authors, reviewers and journal editors. This article... Read More about Boon, bias or bane? The potential influence of reviewer recommendations on editorial decision-making.

Involvement of hippocampal subfields and anterior-posterior subregions in encoding and retrieval of item, spatial, and associative memories: Longitudinal versus transverse axis (2019)
Journal Article
Hrybouski, S., MacGillivray, M., Huang, Y., Madan, C. R., Carter, R., Seres, P., & Malykhin, N. V. (2019). Involvement of hippocampal subfields and anterior-posterior subregions in encoding and retrieval of item, spatial, and associative memories: Longitudinal versus transverse axis. NeuroImage, 191, 568-586. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2019.01.061

The functional role of the hippocampal formation in episodic memory has been studied using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) for many years. The hippocampus can be segmented into three major anteroposterior sections, called head, body and...

Comparative inspiration: from puzzles with pigeons to novel discoveries with humans in risky choice (2019)
Journal Article

Both humans and non-human animals regularly encounter decisions involving risk and uncertainty. This paper provides an overview of our research program examining risky decisions in which the odds and outcomes are learned through experience in people...
