About
Eveliina Glogan’s research lies at the intersection of experimental psychopathology and chronic pain, where she investigates how pain-related fear and avoidance behaviors generalize—and why they sometimes persist even when pain is absent. Her major contribution is the development of an innovative robotic arm-reaching paradigm that provides an ecologically valid, real-world method to study avoidance behavior in the lab, a critical advance for understanding the transition from acute to chronic pain disability. Across her most-cited works, Glogan has systematically explored the boundary conditions of costly avoidance generalization, revealing when and why individuals avoid movements that merely resemble pain-associated actions. Her 2019 paper on generalization to novel but similar movements (26 citations) and her 2021 study on the boundary conditions of costly avoidance (16 citations) are foundational in this area. She has also distinguished the generalization of pain-related fear from avoidance (2022, 13 citations) and demonstrated that avoidance can generalize based on de novo categorical knowledge (2022, 5 citations). Glogan’s work is essential reading for researchers studying fear learning, avoidance mechanisms, and chronic pain interventions.
