While test materials and instructions have been translated to Norwegian, only American age-adjusted norms from D-KEFS are available in Norway. We here develop norms in a sample of 1011 Norwegians between 20 ...
    • Involvement of A13 dopaminergic neurons in prehensile movements but not reward in the rat 

      Garau, Celia; Hayes, Jessica; Chiacchierini, Giulia; Mccutcheon, James Edgar; Apergis-Schoute, John (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-09)
      Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-containing neurons of the dopamine (DA) cell group A13 are well positioned to impact known DA-related functions as their descending projections innervate target regions that regulate vigilance, sensory integration, and motor execution. Despite this connectivity, little is known regarding the functionality of A13-DA circuits. Using TH-specific loss-of-function methodology ...

      Ørbo, Marte Christine; Grønli, Ole Kristian; Larsen, Camilla; Vangberg, Torgil Riise; Friborg, Oddgeir; Turi, Zsolt; Mittner, Matthias Bodo; Csifcsak, Gabor; Aslaksen, Per M (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-02)
      Background Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) when applied over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has been shown to be equally effective and safe to treat depression compared to traditional repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) paradigms. This protocol describes a funded single-centre, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled, clinical trial to investigate ...
    • Stable organization of the early lexical-semantic network in 18- and 24-month-old preterm and full-term infants: an eye-tracker study 

      Rago, Anett; Varga, Zsuzsanna; Szabo, Miklos (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-21)
      Introduction: An organized mental lexicon determines new information acquisition by orienting attention during language processing. Adult-like lexicalsemantic knowledge organization has already been demonstrated in 24-montholds. However, the outcomes of earlier studies have been contradictory in terms of the organizational capacities of 18-month-olds, thus our aim was to examine lexical-semantic ...
    • A Knowledge Graph Framework for Dementia Research Data 

      Timón, Santiago; Rincón, Mariano; Martínez-Tomás, Rafael; Kirsebom, Bjørn-Eivind Seljelid; Fladby, Tormod (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-20)
      Dementia disease research encompasses diverse data modalities, including advanced imaging, deep phenotyping, and multi-omics analysis. However, integrating these disparate data sources has historically posed a significant challenge, obstructing the unification and comprehensive analysis of collected information. In recent years, knowledge graphs have emerged as a powerful tool to address such ...
    • Why the belief in one’s equal rights matters: Self-respect, depressive symptoms, and suicidal ideation in Western and non-Western countries 

      Renger, Daniela; Reinken, Aischa; Krys, Sabrina; Gardani, Maria; Martiny, Sarah Elisabeth (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-21)
      The present research investigated the relationship between self-respect (i.e., a person’s belief of possessing the same rights as others) and depressive symptoms. Based on earlier longitudinal findings that self-respect fosters assertiveness and that assertiveness negatively predicts depressive symptoms, we tested these relationships in Western and non-Western countries. Additionally, we explored ...
    • Who cares? Effects of gendered self-perceptions on dropout intentions in communal degree programs 

      Olsen, Marte; Parks-Stamm, Elizabeth J.; Hansen Lund, Ingvild Marie; Martiny, Sarah Elisabeth (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-12)
      Global population aging trends create an increased need for educated workers in the health domain. At the same time, communal degree programs (i.e., health care and early education [HEE]) show high dropout rates—particularly for men. Extending person-environment fit theory and the lack of fit model, we investigate whether students' (gendered) self-perceptions relate to perceived fit and whether fit ...
    • Rapport fra seksualvaneundersøkelsene i 1987, 1992, 1997 og 2002 

      Træen, Bente; Stigum, Hein; Magnus, Per (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2003)
      Bakgrunn Kunnskap om befolkningens seksualvaner er nødvendig for å forstå, forutsi og forebygge spredning av seksuelt overførbare sykdommer slik som HIV/AIDS, klamydia, humant papilloma virus og herpes. Videre er slik kunnskap viktig for å forebygge uønskede svangerskap. På denne bakgrunn har Nasjonalt folkehelseinstitutt (fram til 2002 Folkehelsa) med 5 års mellomrom gjennomført undersøkelser for ...

    • Investigating the relationship between allocentric spatial working memory and biomarker status in preclinical and prodromal Alzheimer’s disease. 

      Lorentzen, Ingrid Myrvoll; Espenes, Johan Jacob; Eliassen, Ingvild Vøllo; Hessen, Erik; Waterloo, Knut K; Nakling, Arne Exner; Gisladottir, Berglind; Jarholm, Jonas Alexander; Fladby, Tormod; Kirsebom, Bjørn-Eivind (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-08)
      The 4 Mountain Test (4MT) is a test of allocentric spatial working memory and has been proposed as an earlier marker of predementia Alzheimer’s disease (AD) than episodic verbal memory. We here compare the 4MT to the CERAD word list memory recall in both cognitively normal (CN) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) cases with or without cerebrospinal fluid markers (CSF) of Alzheimer’s disease ...
    • Attitudes towards mathematics, achievement, and drop-out intentions among STEM and Non-STEM students in Norway 

      Óturai, Gabriella; Riener, Cordian; Martiny, Sarah (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-22)
      High mathematical ability is central in many domains. In the present study, we investigated relations between students’ high school mathematics background and current study program, and various mathematics-related outcomes. We expected that students who had attended higher-level mathematics courses in high school would report more positive attitudes towards mathematics and higher achievement in ...

      Mathisen, Therese Fostervold; Sundgot-Borgen, Jorunn; Rosenvinge, Jan H; Bratland-Sanda, Solfrid; Svendsen, Mette; Pettersen, Gunn; Vrabel, KariAnne; Friborg, Oddgeir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-27)
      Purpose: Chaotic eating and purging behavior pose a risk to the metabolic health of women with bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge-eating disorder (BED). This study reports on one-year changes in blood markers of metabolic health and thyroid hormones in women with BN or BED attending two different treatments. Methods: These are secondary analyses from a randomized controlled trial of 16-week group ...
    • Exploring the determinants of reinvestment decisions: Sense of personal responsibility, preferences, and loss framing 

      Doerflinger, Johannes T.; Martiny-Huenger, Torsten; Gollwitzer, Peter M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-01-12)
      Two potentially costly errors are common in sequential investment decisions: sticking too long to a failing course of action (escalation of commitment), and abandoning a successful course of action prematurely. Past research has mostly focused on escalation of commitment, and identified three critical determinants: personal responsibility, preferences for prior decisions, and decision framing. We ...
    • Naïve chicks do not prefer objects with stable body orientation, though they may prefer behavioural variability 

      Rosa-Salva, Orsola; Hernik, Mikołaj; Fabbroni, Martina; Lorenzi, Elena; Vallortigara, Giorgio (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-18)
      Domestic chicks (Gallus gallus domesticus) have been widely used as a model to study the motion cues that allow visually naïve organisms to detect animate agents shortly after hatching/birth. Our previous work has shown that chicks prefer to approach agents whose main body axis and motion direction are aligned (a feature typical of creatures whose motion is constrained by a bilaterally symmetric ...
    • Modulation of mind wandering using transcranial direct current stimulation: A meta-analysis based on electric field modeling 

      Nawani, Hema; Mittner, Matthias Bodo; Csifcsak, Gabor (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-23)
      Mind wandering (MW) is a heterogeneous construct involving task-unrelated thoughts. Recently, the interest in modulating MW propensity via non-invasive brain stimulation techniques has increased. Single-session transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in healthy controls has led to mixed results in modulating MW propensity, possibly due to methodological heterogeneity. Therefore, our aim was ...
    • Improving validity of the trail making test with alphabet support 

      Waggestad, Therese Händel; Kirsebom, Bjørn-Eivind; Strobel, Carsten; Wallin, Anders; Eckerström, Marie; Fladby, Tormod; Egeland, Jens (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-27)
      The Trail Making Test (TMT) is commonly used worldwide to evaluate cognitive decline and car driving ability. However, it has received critique for its dependence on the Latin alphabet and thus, the risk of misclassifying some participants. Alphabet support potentially increases test validity by avoiding misclassification of executive dysfunction in participants with dyslexia and those with insufficient ...
    • Social identity threat is related to ethnic minority adolescents’ social approach motivation towards classmates via reduced sense of belonging 

      Froehlich, Laura; Bick, Nathalie; Nikitin, Jana; Martiny, Sarah E. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-13)
      The integration of ethnic minority youth can only be successful if they are motivated to establish and maintain social relationships in important institutions such as school. At the same time, worries about negative stereotypes about one’s ethnic group can undermine ethnic minority students’ motivation to approach others. In the present study, we tested whether social identity threat predicts ethnic ...
