Early stage researcher for ITN TESIS: children’s understanding of the intentionality of objects

beppe — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 16:31:12 +0000

The project has relevance for our understanding of typical development and development in autism. The Early Stage Researcher is expected to work on a project on young children’s understanding of the intentionality of objects: that objects have intentions and what they are. This project will draw upon Gibson’s concept of affordances and in particular the concept of canonical affordances. The studies in this project will complement and possibly challenge existing experimental research.

Early stage researcher for ITN TESIS: non-representational ways of understanding early forms of pretence and imaginative play

beppe — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 16:22:12 +0000

The project, under the supervision of Daniel D. Hutto, is to explore (i) the theoretical possibility of non-representational ways of understanding early, pre-linguistic forms of pretence and (ii) how socio-cultural practices might influence imaginative play. Research will focus on how these practices could serve as a bridge between embodied intersubjective engagements and the acquisition of narrative-based modes of understanding others.

PhD-Researcher in Educational Psychologie

beppe — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 09:54:31 +0000

The research within this theme aims at optimizing the effectiveness of instructional design in relation with task characteristics and learner characteristics. This PhD-project is positioned in this research theme. Optimizing the Effectiveness of the 'Read-Recite-Review' Study Strategy in Learning from Text Research shows that using the Read-Recite-Review (3R) study strategy - in which self-testing plays a key role - improves learning from text. From an educational perspective, however, this effect is relatively small.
