Damselfly eggs alter their development rate in the presence of an invasive alien cue but not a native predator cue [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Biological invasions are a serious problem in natural ecosystems. Local species that are potential prey of invasive alien predators can be threatened by their inability to recognize invasive predator cues.

Congruent sonification during practice impairs cue-reduced recall in a virtual reality rhythm-game task [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyIntroductionRhythm-game learning naturally couples auditory and visual information, but always-available sensory cues may act as guidance and limit performance when those cues are withdrawn.

Alcohol cue-induced heart rate variability and drinking behavior: The role of impulsivity [PDF]
Addictive Behaviors ReportsResearch has demonstrated that exposure to alcohol-related cues (e.g., sight or smell of a preferred beverage) elicits heightened self-reported craving and psychophysiological responses, including changes in heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability ...

Pseudocontingencies: Flexible contingency inferences from base rates [PDF]
Judgment and Decision Making, 2022 Humans are evidently able to learn contingencies from the co-occurrence of cues and outcomes. But how do humans judge contingencies when observations of cue and outcome are learned on different occasions?

Saccadic eye movement rate as a cue to deceit. [PDF]
Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition, 2015 In the present experiment we considered a cue that has not been examined in nonverbal deception research before, non-visual saccadic eye movement rate. The psychological process as to why saccadic eye movements could be related to deception is also new for nonverbal deception research: memory retrieval.

Cue duration determines response rate but not rate of acquisition of Pavlovian conditioning in mice [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2020 The duration of a conditioned stimulus (CS) is a key determinant of Pavlovian conditioning. Rate estimation theory (RET) proposes that reinforcement rate is calculated over cumulative exposure to a cue and the reinforcement rate of a cue, relative to the background reinforcement rate, determines the speed of acquisition of conditioned responding ...
