The EBRAMUS team is composed of an international and interdisciplinary group of partners. The program relies on 11 projects. IPEM is the partner that takes the lead for the cochlear Implant ...
A Tale of Two Processes. The dynamic interplay between emotion and cognition when learning from texts. University of Antwerp
Collaboration in the media: the impact of interthinking and distributive cognition on news and media production processes. Ghent University
The central research questions of the research project are: which components (including interthinking) play salient roles in the distributed cognition of media production work and how are these components organized in interaction? The project analyses segments of 200 hours of audio-recorded media production meetings in which (i) media products were planned, (ii) drafts were discussed, and (iii) updates and revisions were made.
Trust development in middle childhood as a cognitive learning process: Psychoendocrinological and epigenetic mechanisms. KU Leuven
Although children’s trust in parental support during stress is fundamental for adapative development, less is known about the process explaining trust development. This is because the theory that studies children’s trust development (attachment theory) describes this process only metaphorically as the internalization of experiences with responsive and sensitive parenting. Therefore, unraveling this process will have a significant scientific ...
On the cognitive side of translation and interpreting: Process, performance, and product Ghent University
When translators and interpreters render a given text in another language, they first need to comprehend the input, then transfer its meaning, produce an output, and lastly edit the output where necessary. The aim of the current project is to glance behind the cognitive screens of translation and interpreting, creating a cognitive model of the entire rendition from input to output, while also taking into account performance and the quality ...
Bidirectional knowledge transfer between the applied research domain of process modeling and the theoretical core domain of cognitive psychology Ghent University
Observations of how people construct process representations have shed light on how people approach this task and why and when errors occur. One of the key findings is that certain techniques seem to be better than others, but no technique always outperforms the others. Therefore, the hypothesis will be examined that in order to get optimal results there needs to be a fit between the applied technique on the one hand and the task to be ...
