Using psychology to improve Powerpoint presentations (open access).

"Sustained violent video game play was significantly related to steeper increases in adolescents' trajectory of aggressive behavior over time"

Percepts to recollections: insights about memory functioning from single neuron recordings in the human brain (open access).

Can people tell whether abstract art is hanging the right way up or not?

Watching the Biggest Loser diet TV show risks increasing obesity stigma.

Using horses as an animal model of human depression.
