1. The role of working memory capacity in auditory distraction
Sammanfattning : The basis of individual differences in susceptibility to auditory distraction has been a research field largely ignored. The current work presents four studies demonstrating that individual differences in working memory capacity (WMC) are related to the magnitude of auditory distraction. LÄS MER
2. Tradeoffs between self and environment in environmental judgment and decision making
Sammanfattning : One of the greatest challenges of today is to change our behavior to act more pro-environmentally to reduce global warming. We need to make sacrifices for the environment, e.g., use a means of transportation that take a longer time but causes less CO2 emission. LÄS MER

More sustainable technologies and food products have been introduced to combat climate change, most often labeled with morally loaded labels such as “organic” or “environmentally friendly”. LÄS MER
4. A Shield against Distraction from Environmental Noise
Sammanfattning : Working in noisy environments can be detrimental to cognitive performance. In order to perform well people have to find a way to attenuate distraction. LÄS MER
