• The effect of transcranial direct current stimulation on the interplay between executive control, behavioral variability and mind wandering: A registered report 

      Alexandersen, Andreas (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-03-31)
      Mind wandering (MW) is a mental phenomenon humans experience daily. Yet, we lack a complete understanding of the neural basis of this pervasive mental state. Over the past decade there has been an increase in publications using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to modulate the propensity to mind wander, but findings are diverse, and a satisfactory conclusion is missing. Recently, Boayue ...
    • Hazardous Alcohol Use and Insomnia in women and men: Insights from the population-based Tromsø Study 2015-2016. 

      Husberg, Vendela (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-03-23)
      Background and aims: Hazardous alcohol use is known to be comorbid with insomnia. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of co-occurring hazardous alcohol use and insomnia symptoms, and the odds of insomnia among women and men with a hazardous alcohol use, using logistic regression and covariate-adjusted moderation analysis. Design setting: Cross-sectional data from the seventh survey ...
    • Regression-based norms for the FAS phonemic fluency test for ages 40–84 based on a Norwegian sample 

      Lorentzen, Ingrid Myrvoll; Espenes, Jacob; Hessen, Erik; Waterloo, Knut; Bråthen, Geir; Timón, Santiago; Aarsland, Dag; Fladby, Tormod; Bjørn-Eivind, Kirsebom (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2023-01-06)
      The FAS phonemic fluency test is a commonly used neuropsychological test of executive function and processing speed. Although Norwegian discrete norms have been developed for the FAS test, American regression-based norms are frequently used by clinicians in Norway. However, language and cultural differences impact performance on the FAS test, and using foreign norms may not be appropriate. Moreover, ...
    • What Do I Want to Be? Predictors of Communal Occupational Aspirations in Early to Middle Childhood 

      Olsen, Marte; Olsson, Maria I. T.; Parks-Stamm, Elizabeth J.; Kvalø, Marie; Thorsteinsen, Kjærsti; Steffens, Melanie C.; Martiny, Sarah E. (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-03-30)
      Research investigating occupational aspirations in childhood is scarce. In addition, most research on occupational aspirations has focused on increasing the number of women in agentic, high- paying jobs. Therefore, we investigate factors associated with communal occupational aspirations in two studies with young children (Study 1: 159 children, Mage = 5.51 years; Study 2: 96 children; Mage = 9.44 ...
