An interacting systems model of infant habituation [PDF]

, 2004
Habituation and related procedures are the primary behavioral tools used to assess perceptual and cognitive competence in early infancy. This article introduces a neurally constrained computational model of infant habituation.

Too Far, Too Close: Attachment and Early Relational Correlates of Pathological Affective Dependence and Fear of Intimacy

Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Specific relational risk conditions may increase vulnerability to dysfunctional, coercive, or unsafe intimate relationships in adulthood. Pathological Affective Dependence (PAD) and Fear of Intimacy (FoI) represent two clinically relevant relational conditions associated with difficulties in adult intimacy.

Does Living with a Wild River Improve Mental Health and Well‐Being? A Case Study of Blue‐Space Interaction and Stress Reduction in Southern Albania

Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, EarlyView.
Abstract The effect of natural blue space on subjective well‐being and self‐perceived stress among residents of Përmet, Albania (N = 203), with 80.3 per cent of whom reside within 1 km of the Vjosa River was examined. Three exposure indicators – visit frequency, proximity and time spent in the river surroundings – were focused on using the PYER ...

Pre‐season friendly match‐play as a double‐edged sword: Performance gains and inflammatory cost in semi‐professional soccer players (a natural experiment)

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Pre‐season training prepares soccer players for competition, but the longitudinal effects of friendly match exposure remain unclear. We investigated whether cumulative late pre‐season match‐play is associated with physiological adaptation in semi‐professional players.

Physical activity partly inhibits autonomic imbalance, immune dysfunction and quality of life induced by chronic shiftwork in policemen

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic shiftwork can impair autonomic cardiovascular regulation and immune homeostasis. However, the interaction between occupational status and physical activity level in military police officers remains incompletely understood. This cross‐sectional factorial study included 102 men stratified according to occupational status and physical ...

Potential health benefits of cold‐water immersion: the central role of PGC‐1α

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Cold‐water immersion (CWI) elicits autonomic, somato‐motoric (shivering thermogenesis), endocrine and metabolic, sensory transduction, and local biophysical effects that may converge on the transcriptional co‐activator PGC‐1α (centre).

Excessive training does not induce mitochondrial dysfunction or impair insulin signalling within skeletal muscle

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Three weeks of overtraining in trained endurance athletes reduced exercise performance without impairing glucose tolerance. In skeletal muscle, overtraining was associated with increased expression of lipid metabolism‐related proteins, enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis and preserved insulin signalling, despite elevated oxidative ...

Affective CT‐touch attenuates cortical responses and subjective attention during temporal summation of second pain

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The study investigated the modulatory effects of affective touch on temporal summation of second pain (TSSP) in 32 romantic couples (N = 64). The design included a dyadic session (partner's CT‐optimal stroking vs. static touch) and an individual session (robotic CT‐touch vs. vibration control).

Habituation revisited: an updated and revised description of the behavioural characteristics of habituation

, 2009
The most commonly cited descriptions of the behavioral characteristics of habituation come from two papers published almost 40 years ago [Groves, P. M., & Thompson, R. F. (1970). Habituation: A dual-process theory.
