Increased emission intensity can compensate for the presence of noise in human click-based echolocation (2021)
Journal Article
Castillo-Serrano, J., Norman, L., Foresteire, D., & Thaler, L. (2021). Increased emission intensity can compensate for the presence of noise in human click-based echolocation. Scientific Reports, 11(1), Article 1750. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-81220-9

Echolocating bats adapt their emissions to succeed in noisy environments. In the present study we investigated if echolocating humans can detect a sound-refecting surface in the presence of noise and if intensity of echolocation emissions (i.e. click...

The use of individual, social, and animated cue information by capuchin monkeys and children in a touchscreen task (2021)
Journal Article
Renner, E., Kean, D., Atkinson, M., & Caldwell, C. A. (2021). The use of individual, social, and animated cue information by capuchin monkeys and children in a touchscreen task. Scientific Reports, 11, Article 1043. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-80221-4

The distinctiveness of human cumulative culture raises the question of whether humans respond differently to information originating from social sources, compared with information from other sources. Further, does any such differential responding set... Read More about The use of individual, social, and animated cue information by capuchin monkeys and children in a touchscreen task.

Comparing Classic and Novel Approaches to Measurement Invariance (2021)
Preprint / Working Paper
Magraw-Mickelson, Z., Hermida Carrillo, A., Weerabangsa, M. M., Owuamalam, C. K., & Gollwitzer, M. (2021). Comparing Classic and Novel Approaches to Measurement Invariance

Measurement invariance (MI) is vital to any comparison of heterogeneous groups. With multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis (MG-CFA), which is the standard practice for testing MI, there are widely acknowledged limitations, especially with a lar...

Children cannot ignore what they hear: Incongruent emotional information leads to an auditory dominance in children (2021)
Journal Article
Ross, P., Atkins, B., Allison, L., Simpson, H., Duffell, C., Williams, M., & Ermolina, O. (2021). Children cannot ignore what they hear: Incongruent emotional information leads to an auditory dominance in children. Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 204, Article 105068. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jecp.2020.105068

Effective emotion recognition is imperative to successfully navigating social situations. Research suggests differing developmental trajectories for the recognition of bodily and vocal emotion, but emotions are usually studied in isolation and rarely...

A distinction between working memory components as unique predictors of mathematical components in 7–8 year old children (2021)
Journal Article
Allen, K., & Giofrè, D. (2021). A distinction between working memory components as unique predictors of mathematical components in 7–8 year old children. Educational Psychology, 41(6), 678-694. https://doi.org/10.1080/01443410.2020.1857702

Despite evidence for the involvement of working memory in mathematics attainment, the understanding of its components relationship to individual areas of mathematics is somewhat restricted. This study aims to better understand this relationship. Two-...

Dissociating representations of time and number in reinforcement rate learning by GluA1 AMPAR subunit deletion in mice (2021)
Journal Article
Austen, J. M., Pickering, C., Sprengel, R., & Sanderson, D. J. (2021). Dissociating representations of time and number in reinforcement rate learning by GluA1 AMPAR subunit deletion in mice. Psychological Science, 32(2), 204-217. https://doi.org/10.1177/0956797620960392

Theories of learning differ in whether they assume that learning reflects the strength of an association between memories or symbolic encoding of the statistical properties of events. We provide novel evidence for symbolic encoding of informational v...
