Reduced mood variability is associated with enhanced performance during ultrarunnning (2021)
Journal Article
Burgum, P., & Smith, D. T. (2021). Reduced mood variability is associated with enhanced performance during ultrarunnning. PLoS ONE, 16(9), Article e0256888. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0256888

Ultrarunning requires extraordinary endurance but the psychological factors involved in successful ultrarunning are not well understood. One widely held view is that fluctuations in mood play a pivotal role in performance during endurance events. How...

The remote distractor effect (RDE) is a well-known and robust phenomenon whereby latencies of saccades are increased when a distractor is presented simultaneously along with the saccade target. Studies of the RDE in patients with a loss of vision in... Read More about The presence of placeholders modulates the naso-temporal asymmetry in the remote distractor effect.
