Ruth Krebs - PI

In our lab we investigate how motivational signals influence cognition and behavior, and the neural mechanisms that give rise to these modulations. We take a multi-dimensional approach, both in terms of methods (performance, neuroimaging, inter-individual differences) and functions (reward, emotion, effort). Beyond understanding the basic mechanisms, we aim to translate our research to applied contexts such as pro-environmental behavior as well as clinical conditions.

Sarah Kusch - PhD student

As a PhD student I am working on a project that investigates whether cognitive effort can facilitate pro-environmental behavior. It is a joint project together with Ruth Krebs and Anne Urai (Leiden University) that consists of several behavioral experiments. First, we will investigate the positive role of cognitive effort in an adapted version of a well-established effort paradigm in the laboratory. As a second step, we will conduct intervention studies that move beyond the lab and assess real-world climate action, namely, sustainable food consumption and support for climate movements.
