Associative learning processes in ADHD. KU Leuven
ADHD is highly prevalent and very impairing. Theoretically, ADHD is attributed to a rewardprocessing deficit, impaired cognitive functioning (e.g., working memory), or both. Little research has assessed if ADHD symptoms might also be caused or mediated by a deficit in associative learning processes, although both reward processing and working memory are important for learning and ADHD has been linked to dopamine malfunctioning in the brain ...
The functional deciphering of novel neuropeptidergic circuits in associative learning and memory. KU Leuven
Humanity has always been intrigued by the nearly mythical properties ofthe brain. With its billions of neurons and innumerable connections, the human brain is of such a complex nature, that trying to understand it may seem a vain project. Yet, by using the ‘mini-brain’ of the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, which shares many molecular components with the human brain but counts only 302 neurons, thorough research can penetrate ...
Neuropeptidergic modulation of associative learning behavior in Caenorhabiditis elegans. KU Leuven
Vasopressin (VP) and oxytocin (OT) related neuropeptides are known as key regulators of both vertebrate and invertebrate physiology including osmotic balance and reproduction. In vertebrates, these neuropeptides have also been recognized for their modulation of social behavior and cognition, but the mechanisms by which this occurs are not fully understood. The worm Caenorhabditis elegans, a model organism in biology, exhibits a ...
Associative learning and flexibility in Korsakoff's syndrome: an exploration of derived relational responding and equivalence relations KU Leuven
Stimulus equivalence and conditional discriminition in patients with Korsakoff amnesia.
The theory about stimulus equivalence of Murray Sidman is a recent behavioral model of complex behavior like language and cognition. Central to this model is the notion of 'derived stimulus relations': given a set of trained contextual or conditional discriminations, the organism demonstrates in an orderly and predictable manner new, not ...

Parenting adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder KU Leuven
Parents of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) face specific challenges in parenting. However, little is known about parenting behaviours among parents of a child with ASD. Moreover, the literature is especially limited regarding adolescence (12 – 16 years), although this period is associated with additional challenges in parenting, given the multiple physical, social and psychological changes that characterize ...
