Learning and Implicit Processes Lab
Welcome!
The LIP Lab aims to investigate how and under what conditions basic psychological phenomena such as learning, relational behavior, and evaluation take place.
A better understanding of these phenomena can have important practical implications, for instance, for our understanding of psychopathology and consumer behavior.
