Vanavond presenteer ik over mijn onderzoek naar gebaren, spraak en cognitieve ontwikkeling tijdens de Europese Nacht van de Onderzoekers #ERN2025, georganiseerd door @rug.nl!

Ik zal dan ook deze folder uitdelen, met activiteiten om de rol van gebaren en spraak in communiceren zelf te ervaren.

Paper accepted for publication! 🥳
You can find an updated version of this preprint here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

In this preprint, I argue that cognitive understanding is a functional coordination pattern —analogous to swimming— based on a complex systems, coordination dynamics, affordances, and (now also) constraints perspective.

On my way to EWEP @ Leeds 🥳!

I’m genuinely impressed (again) by the European railway system. From the north of the Netherlands to London in 6 hours, without any hiccups (apart from me almost missing the train to London, because I did not take the 30 minute boarding deadline seriously)!

Het kabinet zou zich kapot moeten schamen.

Want bovenop de grootste onderwijsbezuiniging van deze eeuw, wordt óók 177 miljoen weggehaald bij kinderen die het al moeilijk hebben.

Help het onderwijs om dit tegen te houden.

I want to conduct semi-structured interviews w parents of children who undergo long term medical treatment (e.g. for clubfoot, hip dysplasia) about their experiences with treatment, HC interactions and the child’s cognitive, emotional-social and motor dev.

Any suggestions for an existing protocol?

I could not agree more.

Cutting English Psychology bachelor programs in many Dutch universities would be a huge, unnecessary, loss.

We need to stand up for science. And currently for Psychological science in particular.

Understanding why people do the things they do could not be more urgent.
Four large Dutch universities, including Leiden University where I work, have decided to throw international psychology bachelor programs under the bus in an effort to appease the rightwing government.

Here's my blog why this is a terrible idea.

Interesting discussion going on here :)
never understood why downward causation is such a controversial topic. the rules of chess determine how the pieces (made up of atoms) can move but the rules are not given by the organization of atoms (which make up the pieces).

I usually post research or academic stuff, but this is a bit different.

My family worked in manufacturing and export for years; we’re worried about the US tariffs, but we also know Vietnam's survived 30-yr embargo.
