“To do or not to do” – a review on actor-related affordance judgments
Review Abstract, reference & pdf
The aim of this review conducted in 2018 (download: pdf) as part of the first author's cumlative Ph.D. thesis was to summarize the available empirical studies on actor-related affordance judgments. It should be comprehensively evaluated, whether subjects were able to accurately perform such judgments and what effect the alteration of body properties or training interventions can have. Furthermore, it was intended to determine mechanisms underlying affordance judgments to elaborate potential factors that influence affordance judgments and to identify gaps in the existing research. The synopsis revealed that young subjects were quite good in judging their own action opportunities. Furthermore, it emerged that there is a clear lack of studies that were conducted with the participation of older adults or patients with brain damage. Moreover, effects of training have also been only described for young adults thus far. The discussion includes a working model, a potential relationship between specific characteristics of affordance tasks (e.g. type of stimulus presentation, direction of task boundaries) and resulting tendencies towards rather liberal or conservative judgments.

Opinion Article: Career Prospects for Future Nonlicensed Clinical Neuropsychologists as Scientist-Practitioners (2022)
Article in German is available via this link
Abstract: The current comprehensive changes to the university psychology curriculum in Germany are also changing the qualification paths of those interested in clinical work. ... the perspectives and qualification paths via a research-oriented master’s degree in psychology (without the license to practice) are still unclear for potential junior scientists interested in the field of clinical neuropsychology. In this article, we outline the current situation from the viewpoint of a junior research group and propose a combined scientific and clinical neuropsychological qualification as an option for scientist-practitioners. Hypothetically, by exploiting synergies, this model (or an adapted version thereof) could form an important bridge between academic and patient-centered fields of practice and provide a pillar for securing applied research in clinical neuropsychology and health services. ... We put this model up for discussion ....
