(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 1996)Previous attempts to improve health in working life were directed at somatic health variables. At present, such interventions are also directed at life quality and subjective health. Complaints without objectively verifiable ... -
Trait self-compassion reflects emotional flexibility through an association with high vagally mediated heart rate variability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-10)Converging evidence shows a positive effect of self-compassion on self-reported well-being and mental health. However, few studies have examined the relation between self-compassion and psychophysiological measures. In the ... -
Trajectories of psychological distress during recovery from polysubstance use disorder
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Introduction: Polysubstance use is a prevalent substance use pattern with adverse effects on psychological distress and diminished treatment outcomes. Although polysubstance use often dominates clinical practice, the ... -
Under the hood of statistical learning: A statistical MMN reflects the magnitude of transitional probabilities in auditory sequences
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-02-02)Within the framework of statistical learning, many behavioural studies investigated the processing of unpredicted events. However, surprisingly few neurophysiological studies are available on this topic, and no statistical ... -
Undersøkelse av validiteten til spørreskjema om voksnes lesing: Screeninginstrument for å vurdere lesevansker hos voksne
(Master thesis, 2021-05-28)Spørreskjema for lesevansker hos voksne er utviklet som et screeninginstrument for å vurdere lesevansker hos voksne. Screeningsinstrument kan være nyttige å bruke for å vurdere individuelle leseferdigheter. Instrumentet ... -
The use of heuristics in intuitive mathematical judgment
(Journal article, 2008-07-16)Anecdotal evidence points to the use of beauty as an indication for truth in mathematical problem solving. Two experiments examined the use of heuristics and tested the assumption that participants use symmetry as a cue ... -

When predictions about the "what", "where" and "when" interact with statistical learning, from a behavioural and neural perspective.
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-12-20)As listeners we tend to detect patterns in what we hear regardless of whether this is music, language or abstract sounds. The fundamental underlying mechanism that supports this process is called statistical learning. ... -
