  • Estrous Cycle Impacts Fear Extinction and Relapse in Female Adolescent Rats

    Open AccessAugust Gable, Rick Richardson et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychobiology2025References: 90

    Adolescent male rodents and humans exhibit impairments in extinguishing learned fear. Here, we investigated whether female adolescent rats exhibit such impairments and if extinction is affected by the estrous cycle as in adults. Following fear conditioning to a discrete cue, female adolescent Sprague Dawley rats were extinguished either around the onset of puberty, when estrous cycling begins, or across different stages of the estrous cycle. Both…

  • Commentary on the scientific rigor of Sen and Gredebäck's simulation

    Open AccessKimberly Cuevas, Scott A Adler et al.ARTICLEChild Development2024

    The operant mobile paradigm has been used to systematically characterize infant memory.In their review of the mobile literature, Sen and Gredebäck (2022) confirmed the scientific rigor of the existing procedure and found no evidence of biases in terms of p-hacking, reporting errors, or the "stopping" rule.However, based on simulation analyses they claimed that research using this paradigm "has been contaminated by methodological artifacts due to …

  • Adults who are more anxious and were anxiously attached as children report later first memories

    Open AccessSylvia K Harmon‐Jones, Rick RichardsonARTICLEBritish Journal of Psychology2022References: 85

    Here, we examined retrospective reports of adults’ earliest autobiographical memory, the age of this report and whether the reported age was associated with exposure to early life adversity, current anxiety and childhood attachment. Across four studies, we found that reporting a later ‘earliest’ memory was associated with higher self‐reported anxiety in both American (Studies 1, 2 and 4) and Australian (Study 3) samples. Furthermore, in Studies 2…

  • From Resilience to Vulnerability

    Open AccessBridget L Callaghan, Bridget Callaghan et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2013

    While early experiences are proposed to be important for the emergence of anxiety and other mental health problems, there is little empirical research examining the impact of such experiences on the development of emotional learning. Of the research that has been performed in this area, however, a complex picture has emerged in which the maturation of emotion circuits is influenced by the early experiences of the animal. For example, under typica…

  • Reversing the negative psychological sequelae of exclusion

    Helen H Y Tang, Rick RichardsonARTICLEEmotion2012

    Social exclusion can have devastating personal, social, and clinical consequences, but several recent studies have identified factors that can reduce its aversive impact (e.g., distraction from rumination, control over a noise). In this study, we continued to explore possible strategies for reducing the aversive experiences of being excluded. Three experiments investigated whether an experience of inclusion reduced the impact of exclusion. Specif…

  • Ostracism

    Gloria Lau, Michelle L Moulds et al.ARTICLEEmotion2009

    Substantial evidence demonstrates that ostracism has powerful negative effects on psychological well-being. However, little is known about how to ameliorate the negative effects of this ubiquitous social experience. A key preliminary strategy for developing effective methods to reduce the negative impact of ostracism is to examine factors that influence the persistence of these effects. Therefore, the authors examined whether the persistence of t…

  • Riding the ‘O’ Train

    Open AccessLisa Zadro, Kimberly D Williams et al.ARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2005Cited by: 12

    In the present study we examined the effects of social ostracism (being excluded and ignored in the presence of others) on those who ostracize (sources) and those who are ostracized (targets). Unlike previous research that compared ostracism to social inclusion, the present study also compared ostracism to verbal dispute (i.e. an argument). A role-play method was used such that participants acted out a five-minute train ride in which two sources …

  • The contextual change paradox is still unresolved

    David C Riccio, Rick Richardson et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin1999

    According to the contextual change theory of memory loss, spontaneous forgetting reflects a retrieval impairment due to subtle and unprogrammed shifts in environmental cues over a retention interval. However, Riccio, Richardson, and Ebner (1984) noted an apparent paradox in this model; specifically, laboratory studies inducing explicit shifts in contextual cues found less disruption of performance as retention intervals increased. Bouton, Nelson,…
