CONTROLLED AND AUTOMATIC PROCESSES IN MORAL DECISION-MAKING
… given their origin in affective and intuitive processes, deontological judgments led us astray in many modern moral problems, and in many philosophical problems like the famous trolley problem or Peter Singer’s (1972) problem on the moral effect of spatial distance. In this thesis I attempt to …

Controlled and automatic processes in Pavlovian-instrumental transfer
… further current knowledge on the psychological processes that underpin human outcome-selective Pavlovian-instrumental transfer (PIT) effects. PIT reflects the capacity of a Pavlovian stimulus to selectively potentiate an instrumental response that predicts a common rewarding outcome. PIT effects …

Reducing Consumption Levels of Alcohol In Midlife (ReCLAIM): The development and testing of a theory and evidence-based online intervention targeting automatic processes
… theory and evidence-based intervention targeting automatic processes, typified by fast, instinctive, or non-conscious decision making about health behaviours. Methods: The intervention development approach employed the Behaviour Change Wheel within the Medical Research Council guidance framework. …

The Relationship of Attention and Semantic Priming: Semantic Priming Is Conditionally Automatic
… in the semantic priming literature over whether automatic semantic priming does or does not require attention. This debate is limited by the view that automatic processes necessarily exclude the involvement of attention. The current experiments test the conditional automaticity hypothesis that …

Cineplastic : temporal paradox in the movement-image medium
… shadow regarding a theory of event in design processes. The impossibility of 'empirical data' as given and fixed in design 'strategies' is further complicated by the contingency of forms developing in time. Design intuition must be more than simply the ability to 'choose' from an …

Support for Gestalt Versus Business-As-Usual Theories of Insight Depends on Operational Definition of Insight
<p>Some theories propose that insight involves automatic processes that are responsible for restructuring. Other theories postulate that the mechanisms surrounding restructuring are controlled and effortful. The current study tested these theories by comparing different methodology and operational …

Investigations of the cognitive and neural processes supporting memory for neutral and emotional words
The cognitive and neural processes underlying memory formation may differ depending on the vividness, or detail, of information encoded. In Chapter 1, a divided attention paradigm was used to examine memory formation when resources are (a) devoted primarily to encoding and (b) directed away from …

Exploring the Growth of Text-Reading Fluency in Upper-Elementary English Language Learners during Instruction based on Repeated Reading
… language acquisition, reading development, and automatic processes of reading that underlie fluent reading. The intervention combined two types of repeated reading instruction: (a) silent repeated reading of controlled-vocabulary texts, with comprehension checks, and (b) repeated oral reading …

Olfactory short term memory: understanding perceptual representations of odours and the role of encoding strategies in working memory.
… refreshing process. Controlled working memory processes were shown to be reduced for low verbalisability odours, though there was no evidence in a remember- know task for a switch to more automatic processes (i.e. familiarity). However, in an individual-differences analysis of multi-modal …

Quantification of Molecular Structural Uncertainty Through Automated Computational Analysis of NMR Spectra
… automated synthesis are so extensive that rapid automatic processes are essential to gain information from the data. Manual methods of NMR analysis are incredibly labour intensive and prone to errors, whilst computational methods typically rely on DFT which is too computationally intensive for …

BrightBeat : effortlessly influencing breathing for cultivating calmness and focus
… for fostering behavior change focus on cognitive processes, little attention has been given to influencing behavior through automatic processes of the brain. Considering the bidirectional relationship between psycho-physiological signals and self-reported emotional states, manipulating the …

Automatic evaluations of exercising
… These theories differentiate two different processes that guide behavior “depending on whether they operate automatically or in a controlled fashion“ (Gawronski & Creighton, 2012, p. 282). Following this line of thought, exercise behavior is not solely influenced by thoughtful deliberations …
