Abstract Improving the reliability and efficiency of scientific research will increase credibility published literature accelerate discovery. Here we argue for adoption measures to optimize key elements process: methods, reporting dissemination, reproducibility, evaluation incentives. There is some evidence from both simulations empirical studies supporting likely effectiveness these measures, but their broad by researchers, institutions, funders journals require iterative improvement. We...
Author guidelines for journals could help to promote transparency, openness, and reproducibility
Response inhibition is essential for navigating everyday life. Its derailment considered integral to numerous neurological and psychiatric disorders, more generally, a wide range of behavioral health problems. Response-inhibition efficiency furthermore correlates with treatment outcome in some these conditions. The stop-signal task an tool determine how quickly response implemented. Despite its apparent simplicity, there are many features (ranging from design data analysis) that vary across...
& In the course of daily living, humans frequently encounter situations in which a motor activity, once initiated, becomes unnecessary or inappropriate.Under such circumstances, ability to inhibit responses can be vital importance.Although nature response inhibition has been studied psychology for several decades, its neural basis remains unclear.Using transcranial magnetic stimulation, we found that temporary deactivation pars opercularis right inferior frontal gyrus selectively impairs...

The stop-signal paradigm is a popular method for examining response inhibition and impulse control in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, clinical domains because it allows the estimation of covert latency stop process: reaction time (SSRT). In three sets simulations, we examined to what extent SSRTs that were estimated with mean integration methods influenced by skew distribution gradual slowing latencies. We found consistently overestimated SSRT. tended underestimate SSRT when latencies...

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a unique method in neuroscience used to stimulate focal regions of the human brain. As TMS gains popularity experimental and clinical domains, techniques for controlling extent brain are becoming increasingly important. At present, intensity typically calibrated excitability motor cortex, measure referred as threshold (MT). Although commonly applied nonmotor regions, most applications do not consider effect changes distance between stimulating...
Everyday circumstances require efficient updating of behavior. Brain systems in the right inferior frontal cortex have been identified as critical for some aspects behavioral updating, such stopping actions. However, precise role these neural is controversial. Here we examined how updates behavior by combining reversible cortical interference (transcranial magnetic stimulation) with an experimental task that measures different types updating. We found can be functionally segregated into two...
Despite its potential to accelerate academic progress in psychological science, public data sharing remains relatively uncommon. In order discover the perceived barriers and possible means for lowering them, we conducted a survey, which elicited responses from 600 authors of articles psychology. The results confirmed that are shared only infrequently. Perceived included respondents’ belief is not common practice their fields, preference share upon request, perception requires extra work,...

The majority of adults in the UK and US are overweight or obese due to multiple factors including excess energy intake. Training people inhibit simple motor responses (key presses) high-energy density food pictures reduces intake laboratory studies. We examined whether online response inhibition training reduced real-world consumption weight a community sample who were predominantly (N = 83). Participants allocated randomised, double-blind design receive four 10-min sessions either active...

For centuries, human self-control has fascinated scientists and nonscientists alike. Current theories often attribute it to an executive control system. But even though receives a great deal of attention across disciplines, most aspects are still poorly understood. Many rely on ill-defined set "homunculi" doing jobs like "response inhibition" or "updating" without explaining how they do so. Furthermore, is not always appreciated that takes place different timescales. These two issues hamper...
Overeating in our food-rich environment is a key contributor to obesity. Computerised response-inhibition training could improve self-control individuals who overeat. Evidence suggests that people inhibit motor responses specific food pictures can reduce the subsequent choice and consumption of those foods. Here we undertook three experiments using stop-signal task examine effects non-food related stop-training on immediate snack consumption. The examined whether were stimulus-specific, they...
We present a consensus-based checklist to improve and document the transparency of research reports in social behavioural research. An accompanying online application allows users complete form generate report that they can submit with their manuscript or post public repository.
The vast majority of empirical research articles report a single primary analysis outcome that is the result plan, executed by team (usually also designed experiment and collected data). However, recent many-analyst projects have demonstrated different teams generally adopt unique approach there exists considerable variability in associated conclusions. There appears to be no optimal statistical plausible plans need not lead same conclusion. A high outcomes signals conclusions are relatively...
