Associations and propositions: The case for a dual-process account of learning in humans
(Elsevier, 2014-02)We review evidence that supports the conclusion that people can and do learn in two distinct ways - one associative, the other propositional. No one disputes that we solve problems by testing hypotheses and inducing ... -
The associations between adult attachment, posttraumatic symptoms, and posttraumatic growth
(Taylor & Francis (Routledge) for Stress and Anxiety Research Society, 2016)BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Individual differences after trauma vary considerably and can range from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to posttraumatic growth (PTG). Current theoretical models cannot fully explain this ... -
Associations between authoritative parenting and the sun exposure and sun protective behaviours of adolescents and their friends.
(Taylor & Francis, 2011-05)Associations between the sun exposure and sun protective behaviours of adolescents and their friends were examined along with the role played by authoritative parenting and other family and peer socialisation factors. Four ... -
Associative learning mechanisms underpinning the transition from recreational drug use to addiction.
(Wiley, 2012-11-05)Learning theory proposes that drug seeking is a synthesis of multiple controllers. Whereas goal-directed drug seeking is determined by the anticipated incentive value of the drug, habitual drug seeking is elicited by stimuli ... -
Associatively-mediated stopping: training stimulus-specific inhibitory control (dataset)
(University of Exeter, 2015-08-24)Behavioural data, R analysis scripts, and documentation for two behavioural experiments described in "Associatively-Mediated Stopping: Training Stimulus-Specific Inhibitory Control". To be published in Learning & Behavior (2015). -
Attachment-security priming attenuates amygdala activation to social and linguistic threat
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2014-10-17)A predominant expectation that social relationships with others are safe (a secure attachment style), has been linked with reduced threat-related amygdala activation. Experimental priming of mental representations of ... -
Attentional inertia and delayed orienting of spatial attention in task-switching
(American Psychological Association, 2014-08)Among the potential, but neglected, sources of task-switch costs is the need to reallocate attention to different attributes or objects. Even theorists who recognize the importance of attentional resetting in task-switching ... -
Attitude-behaviour consistency: the role of group norms, attitude accessibility, and mode of behavioural decision-making
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2003)The interplay between two perspectives that have recently been applied in the attitude area—the social identity approach to attitude-behaviour relations (Terry & Hogg, 1996) and the MODE model (Fazio, 1990a)—was examined ... -
Automatic and controlled response inhibition: associative learning in the go/no-go and stop-signal paradigms.
(American Psychological Association, 2008-11)In 5 experiments, the authors examined the development of automatic response inhibition in the go/no-go paradigm and a modified version of the stop-signal paradigm. They hypothesized that automatic response inhibition may ... -
Automaticity of cognitive control: goal priming in response-inhibition paradigms.
(American Psychological Association, 2009-09)Response inhibition is a hallmark of cognitive control. An executive system inhibits responses by activating a stop goal when a stop signal is presented. The authors asked whether the stop goal could be primed by task-irrelevant ... -
Awareness of functional ability in people with early-stage dementia
(Wiley, 2017-01-10)OBJECTIVES: Assessment of functional ability in people with early-stage dementia (PwD) is an important area of study because it forms part of the diagnostic process and may help in monitoring disease progression. Most ... -
Awareness of memory task impairment versus everyday memory difficulties in dementia.
(Wiley, 2014-12-09)The study investigated different types of awareness of memory dysfunction in dementia, specifically judgements concerning memory task performance or appraisal of everyday memory functioning and also exploring the ... -
The Bangor Gambling Task: Characterising the performance of survivors of traumatic brain injury
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2017-02-06)The Bangor Gambling Task (BGT, Bowman & Turnbull, 2004) is a simple test of emotion-based decision-making, with contingencies varying across five blocks of 20 trials. This is the first study to characterise BGT performance ... -
Banishing the control homunculi in studies of action control and behaviour change
(Association for Psychological Science / SAGE Publications, 2014)For centuries, human self-control has fascinated scientists and nonscientists alike. Current theories often attribute it to an executive control system. But even though executive control receives a great deal of attention ... -

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 ... -
