Abstract

This application seeks support for a 10-week internship in what may be currently the most active lab that conducts basic and translational research on stimulus equivalence, led by Dr. Erik Arntzen, at Oslo Metropolitan University. The translational interests in Dr. Arntzen's lab are especially relevant to my research project, since they involve the use of stimulus equivalence and EEG as a tool to investigate cognitive functioning in the elderly. Therefore, the proposed internship will contribute to develop my knowledge of the field and of the research methods, and will also provide opportunity to discuss my data with Dr. Arntzen and colleagues. The internship will also provide an opportunity to strengthen the collaboration between our research groups. (AU)
