Faster adult implicit probabilistic statistical learning following childhood adversity Open
According to deficit models, early life adversity disrupts normal development, leading to long-term emotional, behavioural, and cognitive difficulties. However, some evidence suggests that certain psychological skills may be preserved or e…

Game On or Gone Too Far? Executive Functioning and Habit Learning in Problematic vs. Recreational Gamers Open
Video gaming often sparks controversy, though negative effects are mainly linked to gaming disorder, not gaming itself. Research shows that gaming disorder is associated with reduced executive functioning and greater reliance on habitual p…

Associations between reproduction-focused life strategy, sex and Borderline Personality Disorder symptom expression: Evidence from the NESARC national study Open
Introduction Borderline personality disorder (BPD) features span internalizing and externalizing dimensions of psychopathology, and their expression varies across biological sexes. Despite substantial research efforts, major gaps remain in…

Obsessive-Compulsive Tendencies Shift the Balance Between Competitive Neurocognitive Processes Open
Theoretical models of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) propose that its symptoms stem from an imbalance between habitual and goal-directed processes, marked by a bias toward habitual behavior and deficits in goal-directed control. While…

Individual differences in probabilistic learning and updating predictive representations in individuals with obsessive-compulsive tendencies Open
Background Obsessive-compulsive (OC) tendencies involve intrusive thoughts and rigid, repetitive behaviours that also manifest at the subclinical level in the general population. The neurocognitive factors driving the development and persi…

Mind Wandering during Implicit Learning Is Associated with Increased Periodic EEG Activity and Improved Extraction of Hidden Probabilistic Patterns Open
Mind wandering, occupying 30–50% of our waking time, remains an enigmatic phenomenon in cognitive neuroscience. A large number of studies showed a negative association between mind wandering and attention-demanding (model-based) tasks in b…

Mind wandering enhances statistical learning Open
The human brain spends 30-50% of its waking hours engaged in mind-wandering (MW), a common phenomenon in which individuals either spontaneously or deliberately shift their attention away from external tasks to task-unrelated internal thoug…

The interplay between executive functions and updating predictive representations Open
Modifying habits, particularly unwanted behaviors, is often challenging. Cognitive research has focused on understanding the mechanisms underlying habit formation and how habits can be rewired. A key mechanism is statistical learning, the …

Characterizing the role of unpredictability within different dimensions of early life adversity Open
Dimensional models of early life adversity highlight the distinct roles of deprivation and threat in shaping neurocognitive development and mental health. However, relatively little is known about the role of unpredictability within each d…

Longitudinal evidence for decreasing statistical learning abilities across childhood Open
Statistical learning enables us to identify patterns in our environment and predict future events, thereby supporting a range of motor, cognitive, and linguistic skills. Despite its significance, the developmental trajectory of statistical…

Early life adversity jointly regulates body-mass index and working memory development Open
Previous work has proposed that balancing energy expenditure towards body and brain development in an optimal fashion results in a negative relationship between somatic and neurocognitive growth during development. An important issue, larg…
