Journal Article

While palatability depends on the properties of particular foods, it is also determined by prior experience, suggesting that memory affects the hedonic value of a substance. Here, we report two procedures that affect palatability in mice: negative co... Read More about Memory-dependent effects on palatability in mice.

Do fetuses move their lips to the sound that they hear? An observational feasibility study on auditory stimulation in the womb (2016)
Journal Article
Reissland, N., Francis, B., Buttanshaw, L., Austen, J., & Reid, V. (2016). Do fetuses move their lips to the sound that they hear? An observational feasibility study on auditory stimulation in the womb. Pilot and Feasibility Studies, 2(1), Article 14. https://doi.org/10.1186/s40814-016-0053-3

Background: We investigate in this feasibility study whether specific lip movements increase prenatally when hearing a particular sound. We hypothesised that fetuses would produce more mouth movements resembling those required to make the sound stimu... Read More about Do fetuses move their lips to the sound that they hear?

Contexts control negative contrast and restrict the expression of flavor preference conditioning (2016)
Journal Article
Austen, J. M., & Sanderson, D. J. (2016). Contexts control negative contrast and restrict the expression of flavor preference conditioning. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Learning and Cognition, 42, 95-105. https://doi.org/10.1037/xan0000091

Consumption of a high concentration of sucrose can have either a detrimental, negative contrast effect or a facilitatory, preference conditioning effect on subsequent consumption of a low concentration of sucrose, depending on the cues that are prese...
