Nutritional status and the influence of TV consumption on female body size ideals in populations recently exposed to the media (2017)
Journal Article
Jucker, J., Thornborrow, T., Beierholm, U., Burt, D., Barton, R., Evans, E., …Boothroyd, L. (2017). Nutritional status and the influence of TV consumption on female body size ideals in populations recently exposed to the media. Scientific Reports, 7(1), Article 8438. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-08653-z

Television consumption influences perceptions of attractive female body size. However, cross-cultural research examining media influence on body ideals is typically confounded by differences in the availability of reliable and diverse foodstuffs. 112...

Opposing effects of reward and punishment on human vigor (2017)
Journal Article
Griffiths, B., & Beierholm, U. (2017). Opposing effects of reward and punishment on human vigor. Scientific Reports, 7, Article 42287. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep42287

The vigor with which humans and animals engage in a task is often a determinant of the likelihood of the task’s success. An influential theoretical model suggests that the speed and rate at which responses are made should depend on the availability o...

Conference Proceeding
Yates, T., Larigaldie, N., & Beierholm, U. (2017). A non-parametric Bayesian prior for causal inference of auditory streaming. In G. Gunzelmann, A. Howes, T. Tenbrink, & E. . J.

traditionally been modeled using a mechanistic approach. The problem however is essentially one of source inference – a problem that has recently been tackled using statistical Bayesian models in visual and auditory-visual modalities. Usually the mod...
