Behavioral flexibility vs. rules of thumb: how do grey squirrels deal with conflicting risks?
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016-09-21)In order to test how flexibly animals are able to behave when making trade-offs that involve assessing constantly changing risks, we examined whether wild Eastern grey squirrels showed flexibility of behavioral responses ... -
Behavioural activation interventions for depressed individuals with a chronic physical illness: a systematic review protocol
(BioMed Central, 2013-11-16)Background: Depression is common in people with chronic physical illness and is associated with worse medical outcomes. Cognitive behavioural therapy and problem solving improve depression, although usually have small to ... -

Behavioural responses of Eastern grey squirrels, Sciurus carolinensis, to cues of risk while foraging
(Elsevier, 2015-05-06)Previous studies have shown that Eastern grey squirrels modify their behaviour while foraging to offset risks of social and predatory costs, but none have simultaneously compared whether such modifications are performed ... -
Behavioural trait assortment in a social network: Patterns and implications
(Springer Verlag, 2009-08)The social fine structure of a population plays a central role in ecological and evolutionary processes. Whilst many studies have investigated how morphological traits such as size affect social structure of populations, ... -
Beyond prejudice: Are negative evaluations the problem and is getting us to like one another more the solution?
(Cambridge University Press, 2012)For most of the history of prejudice research, negativity has been treated as its emotional and cognitive signature, a conception that continues to dominate work on the topic. By this definition, prejudice occurs when we ... -

Bouncing back from failure: the interactive impact of perceived controllability and stability on self-efficacy beliefs and future task performance.
(Taylor & Francis, 2009-09)There is limited empirical evidence of the relationship between attributions following failure and subsequent task performance. Two studies manipulated the perceived controllability and stability of causes of initial task ... -
Breaking down the mussel (Mytilus edulis) shell: Which layers affect Oystercatchers' (Haematopus ostralegus) prey selection?
(Elsevier, 2011)Predators are able to identify fine characteristic features of prey and use them to maximise the profitability of foraging. Oystercatchers Haematopus ostralegus select thin-shelled mussels Mytilus edulis to hammer through ... -
Bystander Responses to a Violent Incident in an Immersive Virtual Environment

Can US sensitization account for the electrodermal variant of the Perruchet effect?
(Cognitive Science Society, 2013)During experiments employing Perruchet's (1985) paradigm there are runs of reinforced (CS-US) trials and non-reinforced (CS-noUS) trials. Conditioned responding (CR) is measured, for example, using eyeblink responses ... -
Categorisation and perceptual Learning: Why tDCS to Left DLPFC Enhances Generalisation.
(University of Barcelona, 2016-09-10)In the 27 years that have passed since the McLaren, Kaye and Mackintosh (MKM) model of perceptual learning was first proposed, it has undergone considerable theoretical development and been subject to extensive empirical ... -
A change of task prolongs early processes: evidence from ERPs in lexical tasks.
(American Psychological Association, 2015-04)Switching tasks costs time. Allowing time to prepare reduces the cost, but usually leaves an irreducible "residual cost." Most accounts of this residual cost locate it within the response-selection stage of processing. To ... -
Charitable giving: the effectiveness of a revised theory of planned behaviour model in predicting donating intentions and behaviour
