Increasing propensity to mind‐wander by transcranial direct current stimulation? A registered report
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2019-01-24)Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been proposed to be able to modulate different cognitive functions. However, recent meta‐analyses conclude that its efficacy is still in question. Recently, an increase in subjects’ propensity to mind‐wander has been reported as a consequence of anodal stimulation of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (Axelrod et al., Proceedings of the National ... -

Computer skills were taught by a qualified teacher. Psychoeducation and cognitive therapy skills, including ... -
Interaction between expectancies and drug effects : an experimental investigation of placebo analgesia with caffeine as an active placebo
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)In a randomised placebo-controlled clinical trial it is assumed that psychosocial effects of the treatment, regression to the mean and spontaneous remission are identical in the drug and placebo group. Consequently, any difference between the groups can be ascribed to the pharmacological effects. Previous studies suggest that side effects of drugs can enhance expectancies of treatment effects in the ... -
Intermittent Absence of Control during Reinforcement Learning Interferes with Pavlovian Bias in Action Selection
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-02)The ability to control the occurrence of rewarding and punishing events is crucial for our well-being. Two ways to optimize performance are to follow heuristics like Pavlovian biases to approach reward and avoid loss or to rely more on slowly accumulated stimulus–action associations. Although reduced control over outcomes has been linked to suboptimal decision-making in clinical conditions associated ... -
Internalizing problems and attentional control: Effects on cardiac autonomic responses after the induction of negative affect
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)Individuals with internalizing problems differ in levels of attentional control (AC), and this heterogeneity could be associated with differences in autonomic arousal. The present study investigated whether AC moderated the effect of internalizing problems on self-reported experience and autonomic nervous system (ANS) responses after the induction of negative affect. Children aged 9–13 years were ... -

To date, online interventions treating psychotic disorders have been scarce, even though psychosis is among the most burdensome disorders worldwide. Furthermore, the implementation of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for psychosis in routine ... -
The interplay between executive control, behavioral variability and mind wandering: Insights from a high-definition transcranial direct-current stimulation study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-21)While the involvement of executive processes in mind wandering is largely undebated, their exact relationship is subject to an ongoing debate and rarely studied dynamically within‐subject. Several brain‐stimulation studies using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) have attempted to modulate mind‐wandering propensity by stimulating the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) which is ... -

Investigating the effect of physiological need states on palatability and motivation using microstructural analysis of licking
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-01)The study of consummatory responses during food intake represents a unique opportunity to investigate the physiological, psychological and neurobiological processes that control ingestive behavior. Recording the occurrence and temporal organization of individual licks across consumption, also called lickometry, yields a rich data set that can be analyzed to dissect consummatory responses into different ... -
Investigating the relationship between allocentric spatial working memory and biomarker status in preclinical and prodromal Alzheimer’s disease.
(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 ... -
Invisible emotional expressions influence social judgments and pupillary responses of both depressed and non-depressed individuals.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)We used filtered low spatial frequency images of facial emotional expressions (angry, fearful, happy, sad, or neutral faces) that were blended with a high-frequency image of the same face but with a neutral facial expression, so as to obtain a “hybrid” face image that “masked” the subjective perception of its emotional expression. Participants were categorized in three groups of participants: healthy ... -
Involvement of A13 dopaminergic neurons in prehensile movements but not reward in the rat
(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 ... -
IQ as a moderator of outcome in severity of children's mental health status after treatment in outpatient clinics
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)Psychotherapy is an effective treatment for mental health disorders, but even with the most efficacious treatment, many patients do not experience improvement. Moderator analysis can identify the conditions under which treatment is effective or whether there are factors that can attenuate the effects of treatment. In this study, linear mixed model analysis was used to examine whether the Full Scale ... -
Irrational Delay Revisited: Examining Five Procrastination Scales in a Global Sample
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-10)Scales attempting to measure procrastination focus on different facets of the phenomenon, yet they share a common understanding of procrastination as an unnecessary, unwanted, and disadvantageous delay. The present paper examines in a global sample (N = 4,169) five different procrastination scales – Decisional Procrastination Scale (DPS), Irrational Procrastination Scale (IPS), Pure Procrastination ... -
Is Beauty in the Face of the Beholder?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)Opposing forces influence assortative mating so that one seeks a similar mate while at the same time avoiding inbreeding with close relatives. Thus, mate choice may be a balancing of phenotypic similarity and dissimilarity between partners. In the present study, we assessed the role of resemblance to Self’s facial traits in judgments of physical attractiveness. Participants chose the most attractive ... -
