Optimising the Use of Synaesthetic Metaphors in Advertising: The Roles of Metaphor Construction and Complexity
Metaphors are commonly employed in advertising to increase its persuasive effects. Research suggests that metaphors are most effective when conveyed visually, however linguists believe that additionally providing a linguistic cue, designed to help…
An investigation into automatic imitation: Comparing live and video setups, the effect
of prior training and the influence on affective empathy
If decreased Automatic Imitation(AI) improves empathetic abilities, then selfother distinction processes are probably the mediating factor between imitation and
empathy. But if increased AI improves empathy, then probably imitation is at the…

Investigating the effects of dimensionality and referent variability on word learning in autism and typical development.
The ability to learn words from pictures could give children another forum to develop
their lexical understanding and vocabulary. This is particularly important for children
with developmental disorders such as Autism. This research investigated…

Accessing Cortical Hyperexcitatbility and Its Predisposition Using Two Types of Measurements
This study aimed to explore in depth about the cortex hyperexcitability. In order to do so, the study will use the pattern glare task and three questionnaires. These three questionnaires include the Cortex Hyperexcitability Index II, Cardiff…
N1 Adaptation: Exploring the Neuronal Basis of the Interaction Between Auditory Sensory Memory and Attention
The aim was to explore whether voluntarily focusing on repetitive auditory stimuli influences the lifetime of N1 adaptation, which indexes the lifetime of auditory sensory memory. Twenty-six neurotypical participants with self-reported normal hearing…
Testing the Heat Hypothesis: The Relationship between Temperature and Violent Crime Rates
This paper explored the relationship between temperature and behaviour. In particular the effect heat has on violent crimes. The heat hypothesis states that increased ambient temperatures can cause increased aggressive motives and behaviours. The…
Do trustworthiness judgements help people to recognise synthetic faces?
Recent advances in digital image generative models have allowed for artificial creation of fake imagery such as synthesising highly photorealistic human faces. Style-based Generative Adversarial Networks (StyleGAN) is one of the most state-of-the-art…
