Actual and potential distribution of non-native plants in the Central-Southern Andes of Chile Universiteit Antwerpen
Several factors have been identified as relevant for the distribution of non-native plants in mountain ecosystems. These factors depend mainly on the environmental and vegetational characteristics of each ecosystem (invasibility) and the traits of each invasive species (invasiveness). Knowing the importance of each factor that determines the distribution of non- native plants at multiple scales, is critical to advance the knowledge of the ...
Challenge to promote change: the neural correlates of the contextual interference effect KU Leuven
When learning motor tasks across the lifespan, it is crucial to know which types of training lead to the best possible outcome. Learning and retention can be facilitated by presenting an optimal level of desirable difficulty during practice by means of manipulating practice structure, an effect called contextual interference (CI). CI is generally induced by using a randomized rather than blocked schedule for practicing different task variants, ...
Unraveling the tales of our lives: Does coherence matter and for what? KU Leuven
Autobiographical memory consists of an intricate network of personal experiences that form an integral part of the self. Studying affective and structural characteristics of autobiographical memories aid our understanding of the relation between the latter and psychological functioning. This doctoral thesis centers around one such characteristic in particular. Memory coherence can be conceptualized as the ability to place events in time, develop ...
