Journal Article
Hutchison, P., & Rosenthal, H. (2011). Prejudice against Muslims: Anxiety as a mediator between intergroup contact and attitudes, perceived group variability and behavioural intentions. Ethnic and Racial Studies, 34(1), 40-61. https://doi.org/10.1080/01419871003763312

Numerous studies have reported an increase in prejudice against Muslims in recent years. Less research has investigated how this increase might be stemmed and relations between non-Muslims and Muslims improved. In this article, we address prejudice a...

Electrophysiological correlates of remembering emotional pictures (2011)
Journal Article
Schaefer, A., Pottage, C., & Rickart, A. (2011). Electrophysiological correlates of remembering emotional pictures. NeuroImage, 54(1), 714-724. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2010.07.030

Extensive evidence shows that emotional events tend to be remembered in greater detail and with an enhanced sense of vividness compared to neutral events. The current study investigated the neural correlates of this phenomenon during retrieval using... Read More about Electrophysiological correlates of remembering emotional pictures.

Which memory task for my mouse? A systematic review of spatial memory performance in the Tg2576 Alzheimer's mouse model (2011)
Journal Article
Stewart, S., Cacucci, F., & Lever, C. (2011). Which memory task for my mouse? A systematic review of spatial memory performance in the Tg2576 Alzheimer's mouse model. Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, 26(1), 105-126. https://doi.org/10.3233/jad-2011-101827

We review studies testing performance on tasks putatively tapping spatial memory in the Tg2576 mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This model exhibits age-dependent elevation of amyloid-β in the hippocampal formation and elsewhere in the brain.... Read More about Which memory task for my mouse?

Sexually coercive tactics used by university students: A clear role for primary psychopathy (2011)
Journal Article
Muñoz, L., Khan, R., & Cordwell, L. (2011). Sexually coercive tactics used by university students: A clear role for primary psychopathy. Journal of personality disorders, 25(1), 28-40. https://doi.org/10.1521/pedi.2011.25.1.28

Current research suggests that people with psychopathic traits engage in sexual coercion as an alternative mating strategy. Research overlooks the relation between psychopathic traits and coercive behavior in male and female samples that engage in da...

The effects of absolute risks, relative risks, frequencies, and probabilities on decision quality (2011)
Journal Article
Covey, J. (2011). The effects of absolute risks, relative risks, frequencies, and probabilities on decision quality. Journal of Health Communication, 16(7), 788-801. https://doi.org/10.1080/10810730.2011.561916

It is important to understand how the quality of people's decision making may be affected by the format used to present treatment benefits. Two experiments compared the accuracy of presenting the benefits of cancer screening tests or vaccines using e...

Visual recognition memory across contexts (2011)
Journal Article
Jones, E., Pascalis, O., Eacott, M., & Herbert, J. (2011). Visual recognition memory across contexts. Developmental Science, 14(1), 136-147. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-7687.2010.00964.x

In two experiments, we investigated the development of representational flexibility in visual recognition memory during infancy using the Visual Paired Comparison (VPC) task. In Experiment 1, 6- and 9-month-old infants exhibited recognition when fami... Read More about Visual recognition memory across contexts.

Sex differences in impulsivity: A meta-analysis (2011)
Journal Article
Cross, C., Copping, L., & Campbell, A. (2011). Sex differences in impulsivity: A meta-analysis. Psychological Bulletin, 137(1), 97-130. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0021591

Men are overrepresented in socially problematic behaviors, such as aggression and criminal behavior, which have been linked to impulsivity. Our review of impulsivity is organized around the tripartite theoretical distinction between reward hypersensi... Read More about Sex differences in impulsivity: A meta-analysis.
