Understanding the role of referential processing in sentence complexity
… requires syntactic, semantic and pragmatic processing. The work presented in this thesis clarifies the role that the resource demands of syntactic and referential processing play in sentence complexity. Results are interpreted within the framework of the Dependency Locality Theory (Gibson, …

Exploring socio-affective mental health risk factors in adolescence
… in particular the socio-cognitive affective processing in depression across the lifespan. Depression risk is prevalent amongst adolescents, and there has been considerable research interest focusing on building a clear profile of the mechanisms of depression based on adult models. Here, I …

Associations Between Resting State Functional Connectivity and Trajectories of General Psychopathology in Emerging Adolescents
… between networks responsible for self-referential processing, filtering salient information, attention processing, and cognitive control may be a vulnerability for increased transdiagnostic psychopathology, exacerbated by significant developmental changes associated with emerging …

The Effect of Intranasal Oxytocin on Neural Functioning in Widow(er)s
… Discussion: Areas associated with self-referential processing (precuneus) face processing (STS) and response inhibition/facial recognition (inferior frontal gyrus), but not reward, were associated with AAT performance. The social salience model may explain the differential effect of OT …

Negative Mood Reduces Self-Referential Memory Effects in an Online Object Ownership Simulation
… which self-relevant stimuli are prioritised for processing. This bias allocates more attentional and encoding resources to selfrelevant objects making their memory traces more robust and easily retrievable. Research has repeatedly shown that self-owned and self-proximal objects benefit from this …

The influence of trait approach & avoidance motivation on the course of depression and anxiety
… part of neural networks associated with self-referential processing, inhibition, and the integration of emotional information with goals (e.g., default mode network). Regions that mediated changes in depressive low positive affect were associated with processing the somatic aspects of emotion. …

“Vicarious Exposure”: Experimental Studies Towards Developing Novel Therapies for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
… “rubber hand illusion” (RHI) and multisensory processing in OCD. Study 3 tested two novel smartphone interventions in subclinical OCD. In Study 1, OCD patients (n = 29) reported greater contamination sensations when watching the experimenter contaminating himself than healthy volunteers (n = …

Integrating Psychology and Neuroscience Approaches to Optimize Physical Activity Behavior Change
… has been found to play a role in self-relevant processing. Both self-control and self-relevant processing are believed to be important for behavior change. Chapter 3 (Study 2) focuses on neural and self-report responses to different types of health messages and their ability to predict physical …

Notice, Observe, Step Back and Experience: The assessment and potentiation of psychological decentering for adolescent mental health
… of association between decentering and a self-referential processing task, in which participants with higher self-reported decentering committed fewer errors on a condition in which they were required to manipulate self-perspective. Finally, a randomised controlled trial conducted with …

The role of the rostral prefrontal cortex in the context of the aesthetic experience
… visual experiences of everyday objects. Later processing stages are related to complex human thought consisting of emotion and cognition that involve areas such as the orbitofrontal cortex, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex (PFC). The later stages are concerned with the comprehension and …

Syntactic and Referential Ambiguity Resolution Under Cue Competition in Silent Reading: Effects of Implicit Prosodic Cues, L1-L2 and Individual Differences
… two decades, more recent accounts of sentence processing argue that comprehenders do not just incrementally integrate bottom-up input; they use various types of information as predictive cues to pre-activate structural analyses. Within this growing body of research, it has become apparent that …
