Bipolar disorder and gender are associated with frontolimbic and basal ganglia dysconnectivity: A study of topological variance using network analysis
Nabulsi, Leila; McPhilemy, Genevieve; Kilmartin, Liam; O'Hora, Denis; O'Donoghue, Stefani; Forcellini, Giulia; Najt, Pablo; Ambati, Srinath; Costello, Laura; Byrne, Fintan; McLoughlin, James; Hallahan, Brian; McDonald, Colm; Cannon, Dara M. (Mary Ann Liebert, 2019-12-16)Well-established structural abnormalities, mostly involving the limbic system, have been associated with disorders of emotion regulation. Understanding the arrangement and connections of these regions with other functionally ... -
Capturing hearts and minds: preparing an organization for effective implementation of behaviour-based safety
Tammemagi, Triona; O'Hora, Denis (Irish Ergonomics Society, 2013)Many companies fail to successfully implement behaviour based safety (BBS) programmes within their organisation. Often failures are linked to the implementation strategy rather than the programmes themselves. BBS can be ... -
Creating a safety culture: What are the consequences.
O'Hora, Denis (2012)Getting our work done safely is an ethical and financial imperative. An effective safety culture depends on the consequences for behaviour at every level of the organisation. The safety culture of an organization is not ... -
Cross-cultural judgments of personality and decision-making in job interviews
Cannata, Davide (NUI Galway, 2023-01-24)Introduction. Humans express their personality through their every-day behaviour. In this way, they provide other humans with cues for detecting personality with a certain degree of accuracy. Accurately judging a ... -
Decision landscapes: visualizing mouse-tracking data
Zgonnikov, A.; Aleni, A.; Piiroinen, P. T.; O'Hora, Denis; di Bernardo, M. (The Royal Society, 2017-11-01)Computerized paradigms have enabled gathering rich data on human behaviour, including information on motor execution of a decision, e.g. by tracking mouse cursor trajectories. These trajectories can reveal novel information ... -
Developing behaviour-based solutions that last: Examples from industry.
O'Hora, Denis (Irish Ergonomics Society, 2011)Organizational behaviour management (OBM) is an approach to enhancing the performance of organizations. Based originally on the theories of B. F. Skinner and other psychologists, OBM practitioners ... -
Development and testing of behaviour change based intervention for machine related safety on farms
Surendran, Aswathi (NUI Galway, 2024-04-15)Background Farm machinery-related injuries are a growing concern worldwide, posing serious risks to farmers' safety and leading to severe disabilities or fatalities. As the farming population ages and farming machinery ... -
Dynamic Analyses of Goal-Directed Behaviour
Tammemagi, Triona (2012-10)Goal setting research has consistently shown that high specific goals lead to increases in performance; however, the effects of unattainable goals on performance have been inconsistent, and the roles of both time and ... -
Education, intellectual development, and relational frame theory
Stewart, Ian; Roche, Bryan; O'Hora, Denis; Tarbox, Jonathan (New Harbinger Publications, 2013-05-01)[No abstract available] -
Effective design of total worker health interventions for lone workers: examples and implications for the Irish context
O'Hora, Denis (Irish Ergonomics Society, 2014)Workplace safety does not exist in a vacuum. Individuals come to work with a variety of advantages and disadvantages derived from their off-work activities. Extra-workplace behaviors and attitudes are likely to have greater ... -
The effects of a goal setting intervention on productivity and persistence in an analogue work task
Tammemagi, Triona; O'Hora, Denis (Taylor & Francis, 2013-02-27)The authors of this study sought to quantify the beneficial effect of goal setting on work performance, and to characterize the persistence or deterioration of goal-directed behavior over time. Twenty-six participants ... -
The effects of goal-setting on feedback requests.
Tammemagi, Triona; O'Hora, Denis (Irish Ergonomics Society, 2012)Prior research suggests that performance feedback enhances the effect of a goal on performance. The current study examined the effect of goal level on feedback solicitation. Participants were exposed to five ... -
Electrophysiological Activity During Stimulus Class Formation
Sigurjónsson, Jón (2012-02-15)The current project attempted to isolate patterns of electrophysiological activity that correlate with stimulus equivalence by examining the frequency spectra of simultaneous electroencephalographic (EEG) activity. This ... -
An evaluation of smartphone driver support systems for young drivers - acceptance, efficacy, and driver distraction
Kervick, Aoife (2016-10-21)Background: Smartphone Driver Support Systems (SDSSs) are novel smartphone applications designed to monitor, give feedback on, and improve driving behaviours. Young drivers (aged 18-24) are a priority market for SDSS ... -
Mutual entailment of temporal relations in younger and older adults: reversing order judgments
McGreal, Catherine; Hyland, John; O'Hora, Denis; Hogan, Michael (Springer Verlag, 2016-05-12)For temporal relations, mutually entailed relations are different to those directly trained; we learn that A occurred before B and derive that B occurred after A. Deriving such relations results in lower accuracy and ... -
Relational frame theory and intelligence
O'Hora, Denis (Taylor & Francis, 2010-06-10)The current paper re-examines the concept of intelligence using Relational Frame Theory (RFT) and suggests a theoretical framework for the analysis of “intelligent” behaviors. We begin by introducing the practices of the ... -
Rule-governed behavior: teaching a preliminary repertoire of rule-following to children with autism
O'Hora, Denis (National University of Ireland, Maynooth, 2011)Rule-governed behavior is generally considered an integral component of complex verbal repertoires but has rarely been the subject of empirical research. In particular, little or no previous research has attempted to ... -

(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-01-01)BackgroundDrink personalization (featuring names on bottle labels) has been used by soft drink companies to make their drinks attractive to children, potentially increasing consumption. To date, no publically available ... -
Teaching children with autism: a basic component skill of perspective-taking
O'Hora, Denis (Wiley, 2010-09-26)Perspective-taking is an area of human functioning that is rarely studied by behavior analysts but likely entails a complex repertoire of verbal and relational behavior. Perspective-taking is generally acknowledged to be ...
