Concerns about the veracity of psychological research have been growing. Many findings in science are based on studies with insufficient statistical power and nonrepresentative samples, or may otherwise be limited to specific, ungeneralizable settings populations. Crowdsourced research, a type large-scale collaboration which one more projects conducted across multiple lab sites, offers pragmatic solution these other current methodological challenges. The Psychological Science Accelerator...
Language control is an essential cognitive process that allows bilinguals to fluently produce language by reducing cross-language interference. Yet, it remains unclear whether the processes implemented when interference are similar those within-language Since prior research has shown contradictory results, we set out investigate this issue further based on a combination of switch costs, as measure resolving interference, and Stroop incongruency, Relying range statistical techniques, results...

Video games are a ubiquitous form of entertainment that also have the potential to fulfil socialisation needs players. In recent years, policy makers and healthcare providers voiced growing concerns regarding for video gaming negatively impact mental health foster social isolation. However, empirical data relationship between time spent gaming, loneliness, outcomes is lacking. Therefore, present study aimed examine this using three nationwide COVID-19 lockdowns as models increased risk...
Individuals who provide critical emergency care mount rapid psychobiological responses when faced with an incident. These are adaptive and ensure resources at time of demand; however, frequent activation minimal opportunity for recovery can have negative consequences health wellbeing. Monitoring individuals in real situations would understanding their stress during the provision care; this presents logistical challenges. An alternative is to assess high-fidelity training scenarios. This...
Though people usually imagine the typical person as a man rather than woman, effect is mixed for racial groups and understudied among traditionally male social (e.g., police criminals) non-U.S. populations. Results from survey (N > 5000) collected via globally distributed laboratory network in over 40 regions demonstrated that attitudes toward Black politicians had stronger relationship with men women of group. However, White men, whereas East Asian people, officers, criminals did not...
Correlational studies have demonstrated detrimental effects of exposure to a mismatch between non-standard dialect at home and mainstream variety school on children's literacy skills.However, often is confounded with reduced literacy, negative teacher expectation more limited educational opportunities.To provide proof concept for possible causal relationship skills, we taught adult learners read spell an artificial language or without variants using orthography.In three experiments,...
Social determinants of health (SDH), such as social isolation and loneliness, are often more frequently experienced in brain injury survivors. The paper explores the personal experiences loneliness among survivors during lockdown to negate inequalities improve rehabilitation for this population future. Twenty-four participated semi-structured interviews questionnaires relating resilience wellbeing. Three themes (the experience pandemic after pandemic) explored survivors’ generally post-brain...

Mental simulation theories of language comprehension propose that people automatically create mental representations objects mentioned in sentences. representation is often measured with the sentence-picture verification task, wherein participants first read a sentence implies object property (i.e., shape and orientation). Participants then respond to an image by indicating whether it was from or not. Previous studies have shown matching advantages for shape, but findings concerning...
Background: Learning to play a game involves implicit learning, which results in tacit knowledge utilised by players master the game. The benefits of learning can serve different purposes like stealth assessment or influencing gameplay behaviour. However, be modulated variety factors associated with structure task. We examined how games affected game’s mechanics testing whether that draw attention specific feature (e.g. colour) within improve patterns feature, while potentially impairing...
Many bidialectal children grow up speaking a variety (e.g., regional dialect) that differs from the in which they subsequently acquire literacy. Previous computational simulations and artificial literacy learning experiments with adults have demonstrated lower accuracy reading contrastive words for dialect variants exist compared noncontrastive without variants. At same time, exposure to multiple varieties did not affect learners' ability phonologically decode untrained words; fact, longer...

Recent evidence seems to suggest mental health service users can be at risk of persistent harm as a result psychological interventions. This article analyses ways addressing by using the ‘lenses’ four ethical theories view formulation.
