Undergraduate psychology students’ perceptions of open research: The relationship between statistics understanding, attitudes, and questionable research practices (2025)
Journal Article

Following growing awareness of replication concerns in research and the rise of Open Research (OR), psychologists have begun investigating what contributes to Questionable Research Practices (QRPs) amongst academics but less so amongst students. Unde... Read More about Undergraduate psychology students’ perceptions of open research: The relationship between statistics understanding, attitudes, and questionable research practices.

Are we capturing individual differences? Evaluating the test–retest reliability of experimental tasks used to measure social cognitive abilities (2025)
Journal Article

Social cognitive skills are crucial for positive interpersonal relationships, health, and wellbeing and encompass both automatic and reflexive processes. To assess this myriad of skills, researchers have developed numerous experimental tasks that mea... Read More about Are we capturing individual differences? Evaluating the test–retest reliability of experimental tasks used to measure social cognitive abilities.

Test-retest reliability for multiple-target visual search: Eye-tracking and performance metrics (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Visual search plays a critical role in life-saving careers such as radiology and airport security. There has been growing interest in exploring factors specific to individual observers (e.g., personality, strategy) that can affect search accuracy; ho...

Evaluating the pedagogical effectiveness of study preregistration in the undergraduate dissertation (2023)
Journal Article

Research shows that questionable research practices (QRPs) are present in undergraduate final-year dissertation projects. One entry-level Open Science practice proposed to mitigate QRPs is “study preregistration,” through which researchers outline th...

Standards and profits in academic publishing – all publishers and open access arrangements are not the same. (2023)
Digital Artefact

Below is an extended version of a piece first published on the UWE Bristol Library Research Blog. It explores issues around publishing academic articles and books, different open access arrangements, maintaining academic standards and the profit leve...

Predicting multiple-target search performance using eye movements and individual differences (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Accuracy in visual search – the process of detecting a target amongst distractors – is critical for life-saving career searches such as radiology and airport security. These searches often contain multiple targets (e.g., a tumour and a fracture) and... Read More about Predicting multiple-target search performance using eye movements and individual differences.

Teaching open and reproducible scholarship: A critical review of the evidence base for current pedagogical methods and their outcomes (2023)
Journal Article

In recent years, the scientific community has called for improvements in the credibility, robustness and reproducibility of research, characterized by increased interest and promotion of open and transparent research practices. While progress has bee... Read More about Teaching open and reproducible scholarship: A critical review of the evidence base for current pedagogical methods and their outcomes.

Test-retest reliability for common tasks in vision science (2022)
Journal Article

Research in perception and attention has typically sought to evaluate cognitive mechanisms according to the average response to a manipulation. Recently, there has been a shift toward appreciating the value of individual differences and the insight g... Read More about Test-retest reliability for common tasks in vision science.

The application of eye-tracking technology in architecture engineering and construction industry: A systematic review (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Despite the scholarly attention on eye-tracking technology in the AEC industry, no studies thus far have attempted to aggregate the findings or knowledge. To bridge this gap and to better understand the state-of-the-art of eye-tracking technology’s a...

Neural mechanisms underlying enhanced visual search performance in action video game players (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Individuals who play action video games have demonstrated faster response times on a range of cognitive tasks, but various changes across the chain of processing could contribute to the ultimate quickening in response. Some research has begun to iden... Read More about Neural mechanisms underlying enhanced visual search performance in action video game players.

The predictability of a target’s motion influences gaze, head, and hand movements when trying to intercept it (2019)
Journal Article

Does the predictability of a target’s movement and of the interception location influence how the target is intercepted? In a first experiment, we manipulated the predictability of the interception location. A target moved along a haphazardly curved... Read More about The predictability of a target’s motion influences gaze, head, and hand movements when trying to intercept it.

Test-retest reliability for common tasks in vision science (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Historically, research in cognitive psychology has sought to evaluate cognitive mechanisms according to the average response to a manipulation. Differences between individuals have been dismissed as “noise” with an aim toward characterising an overal... Read More about Test-retest reliability for common tasks in vision science.

Enhanced visual attention in university hockey players (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Elite athletes exhibit enhanced cognitive abilities related to sport, and athletes' perceptual-cognitive expertise may also transfer to computer-based cognitive tasks in the laboratory (see Voss et al., 2010 for a meta-analysis). The research in this... Read More about Enhanced visual attention in university hockey players.

Visual search alpha: A novel window into lateralized visual attentional processes (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Visual search paradigms evoke the attentional processes used in the identification and processing of a target stimulus in an array of distracting items. A widely studied ERP component elicited in visual search is the N2pc, which is thought to reflect...

Knowing where one will hit a moving object influences eye-head-hand coordination (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Does the predictability of a target's movement and of the interception location influence how the target is intercepted? In a first experiment, we manipulated the predictability of the interception location. A target moved along a haphazardly curved...

Who should be searching? Differences in personality can affect visual search accuracy (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Visual search is an everyday task conducted in a wide variety of contexts. Some searches are mundane, such as finding a beverage in the refrigerator, and some have life-or-death consequences, such as finding improvised explosives at a security...

The role of motion parallax in the perception of egocentric direction (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Prisms optically rotate the visual scene relative to the head, but the error in perceived direction that results is less than the optical deflection of the prism. This is known as the immediate correction effect (Rock, Goldberg, & Mack, 1966). The ef... Read More about The role of motion parallax in the perception of egocentric direction.

Visual search performance is predicted by both prestimulus and poststimulus electrical brain activity (2016)
Journal Article

© The Author(s) 2016. An individual's performance on cognitive and perceptual tasks varies considerably across time and circumstances. We investigated neural mechanisms underlying such performance variability using regression-based analyses to examin...

The relational between spatial/motion perception and traits of visual vertigo (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Visually-induced vertigo (‘visual vertigo’) is a condition where certain visual environments trigger dizziness and nausea. It is often attributed to dysfunction in visual-vestibular interaction, but the exact cause is unknown. We were interested in a...
