Agglutination, Watkins' law, and the psychology of double inflections in Asia Minor Greek Universiteit Gent
This paper discusses the agglutinative inflection of the passive imperfect and copula in Cappadocian and Bithynian, an adaptation of the Greek to the Turkish inflection on the basis of the third person singular in accordance with WatkinsU+2019 Law. The first and second person plural forms of these agglutinative inflections add the corresponding Turkish personal suffixes to the Greek endings in the Cappadocian dialect of Semenderé and the ...
Law and the Evolutionary Turn: The Relevance of Evolutionary Psychology for Legal Positivism KU Leuven
The other side of magic: The psychology of perceiving hidden things KU Leuven
When magicians perform spectacles that seem to defy the laws of nature, they do so by manipulating psychological reality. Hence, the principles underlying the art of conjuring are potentially of interest to psychological science. Here, we argue that perceptual and cognitive principles governing how humans experience hidden things and reason about them play a central role in many magic tricks. Different from tricks based on many other forms of ...
A century of Gestalt psychology in visual perception. II. Conceptual and theoretical foundations KU Leuven
Our first review article (Wagemans et al., 2012) on the occasion of the centennial anniversary of Gestalt psychology focused on perceptual grouping and figure-ground organization. It concluded that further progress requires a reconsideration of the conceptual and theoretical foundations of the Gestalt approach, which is provided here. In particular, we review contemporary formulations of holism within an information-processing framework, ...
Liquid repression of COVID offences through criminal law and punitive adminstrative law (SACs) Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The present contribution offers an analysis of "pandemic" criminal law as it was developed in 2020. It will discuss the limited role reserved for local punitive administrative law (the AR-SAC systel) in April 2020 for a period of just under three months. We will then compare the two punitive systems (criminal and administrative) and point out the many points they have in common, in particular the clear desire to give priority to uniformity, ...
Measurement invariance of the Wong and law emotional intelligence scale scores: does the measurement structure hold across Far Eastern and European countries? Universiteit Gent
Can EU consumer law benefit from behavioural insights?: An analysis of the unfair practices directive KU Leuven
© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015. This chapter explores in what ways behavioural insights could be used to shape the interpretation of European law on unfair practices. It is argued that insights from social psychology on influencing techniques are relevant to the interpretation of the directive on unfair practices. These insights cut across national legal traditions and could therefore contribute to a uniform interpretation ...
Law as a User: Design, Affordance, and the Technological Mediation of Norms Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Technology law scholars have recently started to consider the theories of affordance and technological mediation, imported from the fields of psychology, human-computer interaction (HCI), and science and technology studies (STS). These theories have been used both as a means of explaining how the law has developed, and more recently in attempts to cast the law per se as an affordance. This exploratory paper summarises the two theories, before ...
Schopenhauer as a Philosopher of Compassion. An Inquiry into the Metaphysical Foundations of Morals in view of Schopenhauer's Perspective on Mitleid KU Leuven
SUMMARY OF MY DOCTORAL DISSERTATION Focus of My Research: My doctoral project will focus on the ethical ideal of Mitleid (compassion) as presented by Schopenhauer. In addressing the issues that are implied in this project, I intend to assume a thematic approach. Basically, it is a metaphysical inquiry linked explicitly to an ethical commitment. While working on Schopenhauer's perspective on compassion, my project will also make a comparative ...
