A robust neural index of high face familiarity (2018)
Journal Article
Wiese, H., Tüttenberg, S. C., Ingram, B. T., Chan, C. Y., Gurbuz, Z., Burton, A. M., & Young, A. W. (2019). A robust neural index of high face familiarity. Psychological Science, 30(2), 261-272. https://doi.org/10.1177/0956797618813572

Humans are remarkably accurate at recognizing familiar faces, whereas their ability to recognize, or even match, unfamiliar faces is much poorer. However, previous research has failed to identify neural correlates of this striking behavioral differen... Read More about A robust neural index of high face familiarity.

Thinking outside of the box II: Disrupting the cognitive map (2018)
Journal Article
Buckley, M. G., Smith, A. D., & Haselgrove, M. (2018). Thinking outside of the box II: Disrupting the cognitive map. Cognitive Psychology, 108, 22-41. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cogpsych.2018.11.001

A number of influential spatial learning theories posit that organisms encode a viewpoint independent (i.e. allocentric) representation of the global boundary shape of their environment in order to support spatial reorientation and place learning. In... Read More about Thinking outside of the box II: Disrupting the cognitive map.

Investigating Multiple Streams of Consciousness: Using Descriptive Experience Sampling to Explore Internally and Externally Directed Streams of Thought (2018)
Journal Article
Fernyhough, C., Alderson-Day, B., Hurlburt, R. T., & Kühn, S. (2018). Investigating Multiple Streams of Consciousness: Using Descriptive Experience Sampling to Explore Internally and Externally Directed Streams of Thought. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 12, Article 494. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2018.00494

Research into resting-state cognition has often struggled with the challenge of assessing inner experience in the resting state. We employed Descriptive Experience Sampling (DES), a method aimed at generating detailed and high-fidelity descriptions o...

Violence and aggression in young women: The importance of psychopathy and neurobiological function (2018)
Journal Article
Thomson, N. D., Kiehl, K. A., & Bjork, J. M. (2019). Violence and aggression in young women: The importance of psychopathy and neurobiological function. Physiology & Behavior, 201, 130-138. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physbeh.2018.11.043

Psychopathy is one of the most researched risk factors for violence. Yet, research in women is sparse. The present study aimed to test if the link between the four-facet structure of psychopathy and interpersonal violence and aggression was moderated...

Do egalitarians always help the disadvantaged more than the advantaged? Testing a value‐norm conflict hypothesis in Malaysia (2018)
Journal Article
Owuamalam, C. K., & Matos, A. S. (2019). Do egalitarians always help the disadvantaged more than the advantaged? Testing a value‐norm conflict hypothesis in Malaysia. Asian Journal of Social Psychology, 22(2), 151-162. https://doi.org/10.1111/ajsp.12351

Do egalitarians always express greater compassion towards the disadvantaged than towards the advantaged? A closer look at existing scholarship on the topic suggests that they likely do. Here, we investigated whether such tendency is also apparent wit... Read More about Do egalitarians always help the disadvantaged more than the advantaged?

Cultural differences in politeness as a function of status relations: Comparing South Korean and British communicators (2018)
Journal Article
Moon, C., Uskul, A., & Weick, M. (2019). Cultural differences in politeness as a function of status relations: Comparing South Korean and British communicators. Journal of Theoretical Social Psychology, 3(3), 137-145. https://doi.org/10.1002/jts5.40

Although politeness is an important concern in communications across cultures, a prevalent assumption in psychology is that East Asians are more inclined to be polite than members of other cultural groups due to prevalent cultural norms. Yet, evidenc... Read More about Cultural differences in politeness as a function of status relations: Comparing South Korean and British communicators.

An intermittent hypercaloric diet alters gut microbiota, prefrontal cortical gene expression and social behaviours in rats (2018)
Journal Article
Reichelt, A., Loughman, A., Bernard, A., Raipuria, M., Abbott, K., Dachtler, J., …Moore, R. (2020). An intermittent hypercaloric diet alters gut microbiota, prefrontal cortical gene expression and social behaviours in rats. Nutritional Neuroscience, 23(8), 613-627. https://doi.org/10.1080/1028415x.2018.1537169

Objectives: Excessive consumption of high fat and high sugar (HFHS) diets alters reward processing, behaviour, and changes gut microbiota profiles. Previous studies in gnotobiotic mice also provide evidence that these gut microorganisms may influence...

Impact of increasing the proportion of healthier foods available on energy purchased in worksite cafeterias: A stepped wedge randomized controlled pilot trial (2018)
Journal Article
Pechey, R., Cartwright, E., Pilling, M., Hollands, G., Vasiljevic, M., Jebb, S., & Marteau, T. (2018). Impact of increasing the proportion of healthier foods available on energy purchased in worksite cafeterias: A stepped wedge randomized controlled pilot trial. Appetite, 133, 286-296. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.appet.2018.11.013

Increasing the proportion of healthier foods available could encourage healthier consumption, but evidence to date is limited in scope and quality. The current study aimed to: (a) examine the feasibility and acceptability of intervening to change pro...
