\n\t\tFunctional Behavioural Science Laboratory\n\t<\/h1>\n\t
<\/div>\n

This lab’s research is primarily based around six core strands:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Experimental psychopathology: Using Relational Frame Theory and derived stimulus relation we explore how language and cognition function in the development of psychopathology and the underlying processes by which talk therapies and mindfulness-based therapies work.<\/li>\n
  2. Utilising relational frame theory to enhance educational attainment, including the SMART intervention programme. This work has been published in the Journal of Behavioural Education with further manuscripts under preparation.<\/li>\n
  3. Cognitive psychology research on attention, problem-solving, and decision making. Our cognitive work on attention, attentional bias, and decision making has been published in Consciousness and Cognition, the British Journal of Psychology, and Learning and Behaviour.<\/li>\n
  4. The development and application of a behavioural test of implicit cognition and attitudes, the Function Acquisition Speed Test. This work has been published in the Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behaviour and The Psychological Record.<\/li>\n
  5. Ostracism\/Social exclusion and the application of the psychological flexibility model. This work has been published in the Journal of Contextual Behavioural Science.<\/li>\n
  6. Psychometric tests of the psychological flexibility model.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
