Symposium
05/29/2013
During the past decade, two broad types of cognitive training have emerged as promising new tools in developmental psychopathology: general training of executive functions (e.g. working memory training or “brain training”) and cognitive bias modification, in which disorder-specific cognitive biases are re-trained, with promising clinical effects in anxiety and depression. This symposium (followed by the inaugural lecture of Reinout Wiers), brings together a number of scientists at the forefront of research into these new types of training.
NieuwsCognitive Training, Affect Regulation and Developmental Psychopathology
During the past decade, two broad types of cognitive training have emerged as promising new tools in developmental psychopathology: general training of executive functions (e.g. working memory training or “brain training”) and cognitive bias modification, in which disorder-specific cognitive biases are re-trained, with promising clinical effects in anxiety and depression. This symposium (followed by the inaugural lecture of Reinout Wiers), brings together a number of scientists at the forefront of research into these new types of training.
