Veel kinderen leren niet op een niveau dat aansluit bij hun potentieel om te leren. Diagnostiek in de leerlingbeleiding zou daarom inzicht moeten geven in hoe een kind begeleid kan worden in het verder ontwikkelen van zijn of haar sterke kanten terwijl het tegelijkertijd handvatten biedt voor het ondersteunen…

In populations with a seed-bank, individuals can temporarily become dormant and refrain from reproduction until they can become active again. The repository of all dormant individuals in the population is called the seed-bank. Seed-banks are observed in many taxa, including plants, bacteria and other…

Multi-objective evolutionary computation aims to find high quality (Pareto optimal) solutions that represent the trade-off between multiple objectives.

Consequences for sediment stability and seston trapping

Bernard Bernards onderzoekt beperkingen op innovatie door te focussen op cognitieve onzekerheid als toestand die innovatief werkgedrag kan beïnvloeden.

Spatial humanities are developing fast at the moment. This international expert meeting intends to bring together specialists from different disciplines in order to discuss possibilities, challenges, and next steps for spatial humanities that are concerned with late-medieval and early modern urban history…

On 4 and 5 November 2021 an ICOG-workshop will be held on the cognitive turn in history. It is possible to attend this workshop online. The participants of the workshop are cultural and intellectual historians of the pre-modern periods and/or of the historiography of academia from a long-term perspective,…

The Diplo21 network organizes scientific meetings to provide young researchers working on diplomacy and written practices in medieval Europe with a forum for scientific dialogue and debate, independent of national historiographic traditions. The first theme chosen is 'the charter's spaces'. The particular…

Hoe kunnen praktijk en theorie elkaar versterken in de neurowetenschappen? Hoogleraar Birte Forstmann spreekt in haar oratie op 2 oktober over het bouwen van interdisciplinaire bruggen tussen cognitieve neurowetenschap en cognitieve modellen. Haar aanpak kan bijdragen aan hersenonderzoek met minder…

Hoe meer we leren over een (neuro-)psychologische of lichamelijke aandoening en de hieraan gerelateerde gedragsfactoren, hoe beter we deze niet alleen kunnen signaleren, maar ook behandelen. Het is dus belangrijk dat recente inzichten over (neuro-)psychologische problemen en daaraan gerelateerde gedragsfactoren…

We consider the propagation of electrical signals through nerve fibres.

How can ecosystem services within river catchments be quantified in spatial and temporal explicit way?

Planets are formed in disks of gas and dust around young stars.

De sectie Cognitieve Psychologie draagt bij aan de 3-jarige bacheloropleiding en verzorgt 2 masterspecialisaties.

Contributions to the UNEP international panel for sustainable resource management

In this thesis we use Josephson and noise scanning tunneling microscopy for the study of conventional, unconventional (iron-based) and disordered superconductors. On the one hand, Josephson scanning tunneling microscopy allows us to directly visualize the superfluid density with high spatial resolut…

The Low Frequency Array enables studies of low-frequency carbon radio recombination lines with unprecedented sensitivity, spectral and spatial resolution.

Hersenstimulatie en voedingssupplementen zoals tyrosine of tryptofaan lijken veelbelovende opties om de cognitieve prestaties te verbeteren. Dat constateert psycholoog Laura Steenbergen. Maar ze stelt ook dat er meer onderzoek nodig is. Promotie op 16 juni.

Een lijst met wetenschappelijke publicaties samengesteld door het team van het TRIXY Expertisecentrum.

Human vocal communication and music perception represent advanced cognitive skills, seemingly innate and universal. These faculties encompass a range of perceptual and cognitive abilities. Cross-species research sheds light on the origins of musicality by investigating whether these traits are shared…

Developing methodes to understand the evolution of patches in natural ecosystems

Anthropogenic noise negatively affects wildlife in a wide range of taxonomic groups.

1: What is the relative importance of alfa and beta biodiversity in polar ecosystems, and how does intraspecific variation influence this? 2: How can we use remote sensing to determine functional biodiversity (within communities) in polar ecosystems? 3: Temporal and spatial scales of functional biodiversity:…

An Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) is a highly luminous region at the center of a galaxy, powered by the accretion into a supermassive black hole and emitting energy from radio waves to gamma rays, often outshining the host galaxy.

To study how planetary systems come into existence we study much younger systems still in formation.

One of the effects of climate change is the phenomenon of desertification, a process that occurs in semi-arid and arid areas and causes land degradation as well as vegetation loss. Due to the lack of resources, vegetation self-organizes to sustain itself by forming large-scale spatial patterns.
