Masked perpetrators are difficult to recognize. In two experiments, we investigated ways of improving identity matching for masked perpetrators. Specifically, we evaluated the...

Recent research has shown that women with a positive body image engage in a process called protective filtering—whereby they ‘filter in’ information that can promote and protect...

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a non-invasive, portable, and inexpensive optical neuroimaging technique with respectable spatial and temporal resolution. fNIRS...

Consistently inhibiting responses to palatable food stimuli increases motor suppression for those stimuli and reduces their hedonic value, suggesting a close link between motor...

To adapt to situations in which speech perception is difficult, listeners can apply perceptual learning to adjust boundaries between phoneme categories. Such adjustment can draw...

Recycling waste is important to reduce the production of greenhouse gasses. The aim of this project was to understand determinants of cafeteria waste separation behavior among...

Formal theories have linked pathological anxiety to a failure in fear response inhibition. Previously, we showed that aberrant response inhibition is not restricted to anxiety...

Approach-avoidance tendencies play a major role in the development and maintenance of anxiety disorders as repeated avoidance behaviours are assumed to prevent fear extinction....

Previous research suggests that training for appearance-related reasons might influence body image negatively. This study investigated the relationship between exercise motives,...

The development of ultra high field (UHF) fMRI has led to the possibility of imaging the brain at increasingly higher resolutions. Gradient-echo blood oxygen level dependent...

Fatigue is a frequent symptom following acquired brain injury. Assessment is usually based on self-report, but additional objective measures are advised. The Psychomotor...

Incivility at work poses a problem, both for individuals who are the targets of incivility and for organizations. However, relatively little is known about what drives or...

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a form of non-invasive brain stimulation, used to alter cortical excitability both in research and clinical applications. The...

Rhythmic stimulation can be applied to modulate neuronal oscillations. Such ‘entrainment’ is optimized when stimulation frequency is individually-calibrated based on...

In vast contrast to the multitude of lineup studies that report on the link between decision time, confidence, and identification accuracy, only a few studies looked at these...

Fruit and vegetable consumption is worldwide too low, resulting in poor diet quality and health-related problems. A cognitive factor that might contribute to this low...

Injury/illness sensitivity (IS) is conceptualized as a fundamental fear that underlies fear-related psychopathology and chronic health conditions, including chronic pain. The...

Purpose. The quality of information obtained from investigative interviews largely relies on the quality of communication between the interviewee and interviewer. One aspect of...

As a highly social species, we constantly evaluate human faces to decide whether we can trust someone. Previous studies suggest that face trustworthiness can be processed...

Background and objectives: It is assumed that fear responses can be altered by changing the contingency between a conditioned stimulus (CS) and an unconditioned stimulus (US),...
