Cognitive Effort in Context KU Leuven
Rapidly and flexibly adapting to conflicting situations is crucial for almost all of our daily activity. When we encounter conflict, we need to exert cognitive effort to overcome it. The state of the art so far has overlooked that we do this in a complex context. This calls for an in-depth exploration of how effort exertion behaves in context. The overarching goal of my project is therefore to study task-related, dynamic, social and ...

A process-based approach to posttraumatic stress: An investigation of cognitive risk factors and treatment mechanisms Ghent University
Posttraumatic stress disorder is a highly invalidating disorder. Research suggests cognitive processes to play an important role in determining the consequences of stressors on functioning in daily life. At the same time, however, compared to other mental health problems (e.g., major depressive disorder) relatively little is known regarding the involvement of cognitive processes, among which rumination and related factors, in the development ...
Middle Childhood Attachment From a Cognitive Perspective: The role of interpretation processing biases KU Leuven
Over the years, attachment theory has demonstrated its importance for understanding relationships between children and caregivers and the impact of such relationships on future adjustment. Attachment experiences are stored in the Internal Working Model (IWM). Children who receive consistent responsive care are likely to develop a secure IWM. In contrast, those who lack responsive caregivers, most likely develop an insecure IWM. Recent ...
Measuring cognitive activity via EEG and eye tracking during language processing Ghent University
The psycholinguistic nature of many research lines in linguistics, translation, and experimental psychology requires systems that measure the cognitive processes underlying the use of (multiple) languages. Such equipment is very valuable and much on demand, as is clear from the number of researchers that would like to employ the combination of EEG and eye tracking. Various research goals are envisaged, such as the creation of freely available ...
