The Influence of Verbal Instructions on Action Control
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2024-04-26)Prior research on action control has primarily focused on action-effect learning through behavioral experiments.

This thesis explores whether verbal instructions framed in an effect-response manner can provide an additional ... -

Relational rehabilitation: Reducing harmful effects of bullying
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2018-12-10)Bullying causes pain and harm to the victims and creates wounds that often remain even if the bullying stops. Additionally, the social dynamics of the classroom community, where most bullying takes place, may remain after the termination of the active bullying of a pupil. This combination of personal trauma and contextual conditions in the classroom community creates a high risk of negative development. ... -
