Bayesian learning models of pain: A call to action (2018)
Journal Article
Tabor, A., & Burr, C. (2019). Bayesian learning models of pain: A call to action. Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences, 26, 54-61. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cobeha.2018.10.006

Learning is fundamentally about action, enabling the successful navigation of a changing and uncertain environment. The experience of pain is central to this process, indicating the need for a change in action so as to mitigate potential threat to bo...

Embodied pain - Negotiating the boundaries of possible action (2017)
Journal Article
Tabor, A., Keogh, E., & Eccleston, C. (2017). Embodied pain - Negotiating the boundaries of possible action. PAIN, 158(6), 1007-1011. https://doi.org/10.1097/j.pain.0000000000000875

Pain: A statistical account (2017)
Journal Article

Perception is seen as a process that utilises partial and noisy information to construct a coherent understanding of the world. Here we argue that the experience of pain is no different; it is based on incomplete, multimodal information, which is use... Read More about Pain: A statistical account.

Psychological approaches to coping with pain in later life (2016)
Journal Article
Eccleston, C., Tabor, A., Edwards, R. T., & Keogh, E. (2016). Psychological approaches to coping with pain in later life. Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 32(4), 763-771. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cger.2016.06.004

A psychological model of coping with the demands of aging is outlined. Chronic pain is conceptualized as a challenge to normal aging, because it threatens identity, risks affective disorder (depression), and interferes with action. The sparse evidenc...

Do people with chronic pain have impaired executive function? A meta-analytical review (2014)
Journal Article

A widely held belief within the clinical community is that chronic pain is associated with cognitive impairment, despite the absence of a definitive systematic review or meta-analysis on the topic. The current systematic review and meta-analysis aime... Read More about Do people with chronic pain have impaired executive function? A meta-analytical review.
