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 ... -

(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
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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 ... -
Salary and power: How occupational status affects children's occupational aspirations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-17)In many countries, labor markets are still highly gender segregated, with very few men working in communal occupations such as nursing. Because occupational aspirations start to develop during early childhood, it seems crucial to foster our understanding of which factors affect occupational aspirations during this period. Earlier correlational research showed that the status of occupations seems to ... -
Does method matter? Assessing the validity and clinical utility of structured diagnostic interviews among a clinical sample of first-admitted patients with psychosis: A replication study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-03)Introduction: Increasingly, diagnostic assessments in clinical practice are made using structured diagnostic interviews or self-rating scales imported into clinical practice from research studies and big-scale surveys. Although structured diagnostic interviews have been shown to be highly reliable in research, the use of such method in clinical contexts are more questionable. In fact the validity ... -
Conducting Fieldwork with San and Hadza (Post-)Hunter-Gatherer Communities in Africa: Regulatory and Ethical Issues
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-28)In this paper, we address some of the challenges and opportunities of conducting international research in psychology. We examine issues that arise from working in contexts that differ substantially from those in which most psychological research is still conducted. We take our experiences with Tanzanian and Namibian (post-)hunter-gatherers as a starting point for discussing regulatory and ethical ... -
Seminatural environments for rodent behavioral testing: a representative design improving animal welfare and enhancing replicability
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-06-22)The low replicability of scientific studies has become an important issue. One possible cause is low representativeness of the experimental design employed. Already in the 1950’s, Egon Brunswick pointed out that experimental setups ideally should be based on a random sample of stimuli from the subjects’ natural environment or at least include basic features of that environment. Only experimental ... -
Effects of verbal tasks with varying difficulty on real-time respiratory airflow during speech generation in healthy young adults
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-15)Objective: Respiratory function is linked to sensory, affective, and cognitive processes and it is affected by environmental constraints such as cognitive demands. It is suggested that specific cognitive processes, such as working memory or executive functioning, may impact breathing. In turn, various lines of research have suggested a link between peak expiratory airflow (PEF) and cognitive function. ... -
Sexual harassment and abuse; disclosure and awareness of report- and support resources in Norwegian sport- and non-sport high schools: a prospective exploratory study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-14)Purpose: To examine high school students’ disclosure of sexual harassment and abuse (SHA), and awareness of reporting systems and support mechanisms in school among students, leaders, and coaches.<p><p> Method: Norwegian 17-year-old high school elite athletes (n = 630), recreational athletes (n = 307), and reference students (n = 263) responded to an online questionnaire at two measurement points, ... -
Drop-out and transfer-out intentions: The role of socio-cognitive factors
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020-12-23)Academic attrition is a worldwide problem representing a significant economic loss and a disadvantage for students in terms of health and career prospects. We focus on the roles of academic skills, academic self-efficacy, and students' integration in exploring their relation to attrition intentions. Based on existing research, we expected a negative relation between academic skills and attrition ... -
Aberrant uncertainty processing is linked to psychotic‑like experiences, autistic traits, and is reflected in pupil dilation during probabilistic learning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-28)Aberrant belief updating due to misestimation of uncertainty and an increased perception of the world as volatile (i.e., unstable) has been found in autism and psychotic disorders. Pupil dilation tracks events that warrant belief updating, likely reflecting the adjustment of neural gain. However, whether subclinical autistic or psychotic symptoms affect this adjustment and how they relate to learning ... -
