Assessing inhibitory control in early-stage Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease using the Hayling Sentence Completion Test.
(Wiley, 2017-06-20)The ability to inhibit irrelevant information is essential for coping with the demands of everyday life. Inhibitory deficits are present in all stages of dementia and commonly observed in people with Parkinson's disease ... -
Assessment of pollen rewards by foraging bees
(Wiley, 2016-11-07)The removal of pollen by flower-visiting insects is costly to plants, not only in terms of production, but also via lost reproductive potential. Modern angiosperms have evolved various reward strategies to limit these ... -
Assessments of fighting ability need not be cognitively complex
(Elsevier Masson, 2013-10-04)Highlights • We dispute claims that assessing relative fighting ability is cognitively complex. • Very simple mechanisms allow sensitivity to own and/or opponent fighting ability. • Correlational approaches are of limited ... -
Association and Cognition: Two Processes, One System
(SAGE Publications, 2018)This paper argues that the dual-process position can be a useful first approximation when studying human mental life, but it cannot be the whole truth. Instead, we argue that cognition is built on association, in that ... -
Association and Inhibition
(Wiley Blackwell, 2015-12-01)What is inhibition? The “problem of inhibition” is one that has puzzled learning theorists for many decades. Once it had been demonstrated that pairing a CS ( s uch as a tone or a light) with a US (such as food or shock) ... -
The association between childhood maltreatment and emotion regulation: two different mechanisms contributing to depression?
(Elsevier, 2015-03-15)BACKGROUND: Childhood maltreatment is an established distal risk factor for later emotional problems, although research suggests this relationship is mediated by proximal factors. However, it is unclear if different forms ... -
The association between maternal postnatal depressive symptoms and offspring sleep problems in adolescence
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2017-02)BACKGROUND: Sleep problems are associated with increased risk of physical and mental illness. Identifying risk factors is an important method of reducing public health impact. We examined the association between maternal ... -
The association between perseverative negative cognitive processes and negative affect in people with long term conditions: a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis
(BioMed Central, 2014-01-06)BACKGROUND: Depression is common in people with long term conditions (LTCs) and is associated with worse medical outcomes. Understanding the mechanisms underpinning this relationship could help predict who is at increased ... -
Association between three different cognitive behavioral alcohol treatment programs and recidivism rates among male offenders: findings from the United Kingdom
(Wiley, 2015-06-01)BACKGROUND: Cognitive behavioral therapy-based alcohol treatment programs have been widely used to break the link between alcohol and crime. While evidence exists on the connection between alcohol and crime, there is little ... -
The association of perseverative negative thinking with negative affect in long term conditions: A systematic review
(European Association of Psychosomatic Medicine, 2015-07)N/A -
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
(Springer Verlag, 2015-09-23)Response inhibition is often considered to be a deliberate act of cognitive control. However, our and other research suggests that by repeatedly pairing stimuli with an inhibitory response, inhibition can become automatized. ... -
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 ... -
Attenuated intrinsic connectivity within cognitive control network among individuals with remitted depression: Temporal stability and association with negative cognitive styles.
(Wiley, 2017-03-27)Many individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) experience cognitive dysfunction including impaired cognitive control and negative cognitive styles. Functional connectivity magnetic resonance imaging studies of ... -
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 ...
