Hypersensitivity to noise and light
Sensory hypersensitivity (SHS) has been associated with mental health problems and difficulties in daily life. To better understand the concept of SHS, we studied the association between sensitivity to noise (NS) and light (LS) in the general population and factors of attention, personality, and mood. We also studied the effect of SHS and related factors on life satisfaction. This cross-sectional observational study included 236 adults who comple…
Insights into the translation and adaptation of an instrument for measuring time processing abilities among individuals with visual and intellectual disabilities
The outcome is that the KaTid®-Adult-NL is a culturally relevant instrument for measuring time processing abilities in individuals with visual and intellectual disabilities in Belgium (Flanders) and the Netherlands. However, the KaTid®-Adult was not initially designed for people with a visual impairment. In this study, first steps were taken to make the instrument accessible to people with visual impairments
On the usefulness of testing intelligence
In response to Van Hoogdalem and Bosman (2024) who advocate abandoning the use of intelligence tests at the individual level, we argue that their conclusions are too absolute and insufficiently substantiated. While we acknowledge some of the concerns they raise regarding measurement error and contextual influences, we argue that the complete dismissal of standardized intelligence tests overlooks their practical utility. Drawing on empirical evide…
Trait mindfulness and personality characteristics in a microdosing ADHD sample
MD induced changes in otherwise stable traits. Future placebo-controlled studies are warranted to confirm whether these changes occur in a controlled setting
Perceptions of Alcohol and Alcohol Use among Community Members and Young Adults in Ukraine
Background: Unhealthy alcohol use is a public health issue, prioritized by the World Health Organization (WHO) for prevention and reduction. Ukraine falls in the highest WHO category of “years of life lost” due to alcohol use. Objective: To investigate perceptions of alcohol consumption in a sample of youth and adults in western Ukraine. Methods: In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 38 adult stakeholders (aged 21–63 years), and…
Switch hands! Mapping proactive and reactive cognitive control across the life span
We investigated the effects of age on proactive and reactive cognitive control in a large population sample of 809 individuals, ranging in age between 5 and 97 years. For that purpose, we used an anticue paradigm, which required a consistent remapping of cue location and response hand: Left-sided cues required right-hand responses and vice versa. After a random preparation interval of 100-850 ms, these anticues were followed by a target stimulus,…
