Theoretical perspectives posit that heart-rate variability (HRV) reflects self-regulatory
capacity and therefore can be employed as a bio-marker of top-down self-regulation (the …

This review examines mechanisms contributing to the intergenerational transmission of self-
regulation. To provide an integrated account of how self-regulation is transmitted across …

This study investigated variations in heart rate variability (HRV) as a function of cognitive
demands. Participants completed an execution condition including the psychomotor …

The recent focus on the bidirectional heart–brain interactions in psychoneurophysiological
research has led to a variety of findings suggesting vagal activity is associated with cognition …

This research explores vagal flexibility—dynamic modulation of cardiac vagal control—as an
individual-level physiological index of social sensitivity. In 4 studies, we test the hypothesis …

Flow, the holistic sensation people experience when they act with total involvement, is a
known driver for desired work outcomes like task performance. However, the increasing …

The construct of narrative transportation captures the psychological processes that occur
when people experience an engaging narrative. Attention is an essential component of this …

The neurovisceral integration hypothesis suggests in part that cerebral control of autonomic
function conveys comparable control of executive function and, hence, correlation among …

Heart rate variability (HRV) is reduced in patients who suffer from panic disorder (PD).
Reduced HRV is related to hypoactivity in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), which negatively …

Prefrontal cortex activity has been associated with changes to heart rate variability (HRV) via
mediation of the cortico-subcortical pathways that regulate the parasympathetic and …
