The research group focuses on three sets of processes:
- Learning: with special emphasis on Causal Learning in humans.
- Emotion: related to anxiety disorders and depression, but also to problems related to drug addiction or health.
- Decision: decision making and risk-taking behaviour. It also focuses on the study of the physiological correlates of these processes.
The lines of research are:
- Learning processes, decision-making, assessment and prevention of risk behaviour in substance addiction and pathological gambling.
- Decision-making and risk behaviour in driving.
- Medical decision-making, communication and cognitive processes in the field of health.
- Learning and emotional processes involved in action control and food decision-making.
