The effect of auditory verbal imagery on signal detection in hallucination-prone individuals (2015)
Journal Article
Moseley, P., Smailes, D., Ellison, A., & Fernyhough, C. (2016). The effect of auditory verbal imagery on signal detection in hallucination-prone individuals. Cognition, 146, 206-216. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2015.09.015

Cognitive models have suggested that auditory hallucinations occur when internal mental events, such as inner speech or auditory verbal imagery (AVI), are misattributed to an external source. This has been supported by numerous studies indicating tha... Read More about The effect of auditory verbal imagery on signal detection in hallucination-prone individuals.

Rewards modulate saccade latency but not exogenous spatial attention (2015)
Journal Article
Dunne, S., Ellison, A., & Smith, D. (2015). Rewards modulate saccade latency but not exogenous spatial attention. Frontiers in Psychology, 6, Article 1080. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.01080

The eye movement system is sensitive to reward. However, whilst the eye movement system is extremely flexible, the extent to which changes to oculomotor behavior induced by reward paradigms persist beyond the training period or transfer to other ocul...

Altering attentional control settings causes persistent biases of visual attention (2015)
Journal Article
Knight, H., Smith, D., Knight, D., & Ellison, A. (2015). Altering attentional control settings causes persistent biases of visual attention. Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 69(1), 129-149. https://doi.org/10.1080/17470218.2015.1031144

Attentional control settings have an important role in guiding visual behaviour. Previous work within cognitive psychology has found that the deployment of general attentional control settings can be modulated by training. However, research has not y...
