She is interested in biases in information processing such as attentional and interpretive bias, implicit associations and also the ability and tendency to control such processes (e.g., executive control processes); how these processes drive anxiety problems and impact upon treatment success. The research has an experimental and clinical focus. Dr. Salemink is a member of the Dutch-Flemish research program Experimental Psychopathology.
