Funded Activity Summary

Mechanisms and contexts driving impulsivity. The project aims to develop insights into the cognitive mechanisms of impulsivity (the tendency to act without planning) and the impact of context on impulsive behaviours. The project aims to test a novel framework that views impulsivity as the product of three cognitive mechanisms: i) attention, ii) information gathering and iii) monitoring, which oscillate in response to day-to-day contexts. Knowledge of the mechanisms and contexts driving impulsivity will enable prediction of the emergence of impulsive behaviours in real-life and real-time. The expected outcomes can enable better moderation of impulsivity and improve health.
