معرفی
Ragnhild Bø is a Researcher in Cognitive and Neuropsychology at the Department of Psychology, University of Oslo. She has held this position since 2024, following a postdoctoral fellowship from 2018 to 2024. Her research focuses on clinical neuropsychology with particular emphasis on executive functions, emotion regulation, and the cognitive impacts of various conditions including depression and post-COVID syndrome.
Dr. Bø completed her PhD in clinical neuropsychology at the Department of Psychology, University of Oslo between 2012 and 2017. Her educational background includes professional studies in psychology at the University of Oslo (2006-2010), and she has clinical experience as a Specialist Psychologist at the NAV Competence Center for Facilitation and Participation (2011-2013).
Dr. Bø's research spans clinical neuropsychology with specific expertise in executive functions and emotion regulation, alcohol use and cognitive functioning, transdiagnostic factors in mental health, and the cognitive effects of COVID-19. She investigates how cognitive processes influence mental health conditions across traditional diagnostic boundaries and examines potential interventions including attention bias modification techniques.
Her publication record reveals a strong focus on attention bias modification (ABM) techniques for treating depression, with numerous randomized controlled trials examining how these cognitive interventions affect emotional processing and symptom severity. She has also made significant contributions to understanding executive function deficits following SARS-CoV-2 infection, linking cognitive impairments to long-COVID symptoms. Her work often employs sophisticated methodologies including network analysis approaches to understand individual differences in treatment response.
Dr. Bø is actively involved in the DRIVE network for depression research, contributing to multiple work packages examining treatment outcomes, mechanisms, and biomarkers. She is also part of the Clinical Neuroscience Research Group (CNRG) and contributes to psychotherapy research for adults. Her current projects include investigating the effects of changing affective bias on transdiagnostic rumination, evaluating positive mindfulness training for depression (DEPTREAT), studying cognitive rehabilitation post-COVID (TRAINCOVID), and examining coronavirus infection risks.
