Stable organization of the early lexical-semantic network in 18- and 24-month-old preterm and full-term infants: an eye-tracker study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-21)Introduction: An organized mental lexicon determines new information acquisition by orienting attention during language processing.

Stereotype threat-effects for Turkish-origin migrants in Germany: Taking stock of cumulative research evidence
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-24)Turkish-origin migrants on average show lower academic performance than Germans. This achievement gap cannot be fully explained by socio-economic differences between the groups. Negative competence stereotypes about Turkish-origin students predict the causal attributions that German preservice teachers make for migrants’ academic underperformance. Specifically, the more strongly preservice teachers ... -

Striving for wellbeing: The different roles of hedonia and eudaimonia in goal pursuit and goal achievement
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-09)Goals are central to theories of happiness and previous research has shown that successful goal pursuit typically leads to a boost in wellbeing. Taking these ideas further, the current study adopts the distinction between hedonic wellbeing (HWB) and eudaimonic wellbeing (EWB) and suggests that it is the former that increases when goals are achieved. By contrast, EWB is hypothesized to have a causal ... -

Study Habits and Procrastination: The Role of Academic Self-Efficacy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-03)Inefficient study skills increase the probability that study work is perceived as difficult and aversive, with procrastination as a likely result. As a remedy, more effective study skills and habits may be encouraged. However, research indicates that good study skills and habits may not by themselves be sufficient to remedy problems, as this relationship may be mediated by efficacy beliefs related ... -
Study protocol: Prevalence of low energy availability and its relation to health and performance among female football players.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-10)Enduring low energy availability (LEA) is associated with several potentially serious physiological and mental conditions. LEA has been found highly prevalent among female elite athletes within endurance sports, thus hampering athletes’ health and performance.

Substituting facial movements in singers changes the sounds of musical intervals
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-17)Cross-modal integration is ubiquitous within perception and, in humans, the McGurk effect demonstrates that seeing a person articulating speech can change what we hear into a new auditory percept. It remains unclear whether cross-modal integration of sight and sound generalizes to other visible vocal articulations like those made by singers. We surmise that perceptual integrative effects should ... -
Suicidal tendencies as correlates of disability measures

Sweet spot in music—Is predictability preferred among persons with psychotic-like experiences or autistic traits?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-29)People prefer music with an intermediate level of predictability; not so predictable as to be boring, yet not so unpredictable that it ceases to be music. This sweet spot for predictability varies due to differences in the perception of predictability. The symptoms of both psychosis and Autism Spectrum Disorder have been attributed to overestimation of uncertainty, which predicts a preference ... -

Theta-gamma cross-frequency transcranial alternating current stimulation over the trough impairs cognitive control
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-15)Cognitive control is a mental process, which underlies adaptive goal-directed decisions. Previous studies have linked cognitive control to electrophysiological fluctuations in the theta band and theta-gamma cross-frequency coupling (CFC) arising from the cingulate and frontal cortices. Yet, to date the behavioral consequences of different forms of theta-gamma CFC remain elusive. Here, we studied the ...
