Lecturer Jef Lamoureux聽has a forthcoming article in the聽Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes聽suggesting that a violation of previously learned information may cause people to pay more attention to their surrounding environment. Jef will also present these findings at the Annual Meeting of the Eastern Psychological Association.

Assistant Professor Gorica Petrovich聽has been awarded the 2012 Alan N. Epstein Research Award from the 聽Society for the Study of Ingestive Behavior. This award honors an individual for a specific research discovery that has advanced the understanding of ingestive behavior. The letter of nomination states: 鈥淕orica鈥檚 work combines cutting-edge behavioral analyses with high-resolution neuroanatomical techniques to provide unique insights into the way that external cues can influence feeding behavior through learning. This work is of high significance and novelty because it provides a rigorous experimental foundation for understanding how cognitive processes in the telencephalon can interface with circuits in the hypothalamus and hindbrain to control feeding behavior.鈥� Gorica will be travelling to Zurich to accept the award and make a presentation on her research.

We聽are pleased to announce that聽Emotion Review, edited by聽Jim Russell, has been selected for coverage in Thomson Reuter鈥檚 products and services.

Ursula Anderson, postdoctoral fellow in Sara Cordes' lab, was awarded an NSF SBE Minority Postdoctoral Research Fellowship to study relational concepts in infancy.

Christina Reppucci, doctoral student, and Assistant Professor Gorica Petrovich report in their forthcoming paper in Appetite, 鈥�,鈥� that learned cues can repeatedly stimulate binge-like consumption of food regardless of physiological hunger state, and that increased consumption following the cue is uncompensated for in total daily food intake.

Jordan Theriault, graduate student in Liane Young's lab, was awarded a聽聽from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).

Shannon Snapp, Ph.D. 2010 and now a postdoctoral fellow at University of Arizona, has just published an article (with 艾可直播 College Assistant Professor Ehri Ryu) on body image resilience. She reports that a variety of factors contribute to positive body image in young women: high family support, low levels of perceived sociocultural pressure about the thin and beautiful ideal, rejection of the super-woman ideal, and active coping skills. Results can inform prevention of eating disorders and suggest interventions to improve body dissatisfaction and initial maladaptive eating practices.

Caroline Smith, graduate student in Alexa Veenema鈥檚 lab, has been awarded a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship for her research on the neural mechanisms regulating social novelty-seeking. Several human social disorders (e.g. autism) are characterized by impaired social novelty-seeking, but the neural mechanisms underlying social novelty-seeking are poorly understood. Caroline has developed a new behavioral test to study, for the first time, the neural network that mediates social novelty-seeking and the role of prosocial neuropeptides vasopressin and oxytocin in this network.

Assistant Professor Liane Young聽joins the editorial board of聽Psychological Science聽in January, 2012.

Assistant Professor Liane Young聽has been awarded a three-year grant from the Dana Foundation to study the cognitive and neural basis of atypical social and moral cognition in high functioning autism. She was also selected as a Dana Neuroscience Scholar, which provides her with additional funding for this project.

A new book,聽, looks at research by聽James Russell聽and Jaak Panksepp: "In this volume Panksepp and Russell each articulate their positions on eleven fundamental questions about the nature of affect followed by a discussion of these target papers by noted emotion theorists and researchers. Russell and Panksepp respond both to each other and to the commentators. The discussion leads to some stark contrasts, with formidable arguments on both sides, and some interesting convergences between the two streams of work."
