This thesis excels/fails in every way! The impact of abstract 'why' and concrete 'how' processing on negative and positive generalization KU Leuven
Many psychological problems are characterized by a gradual broadening of the complaints over stimuli, contexts, and behaviors. This expansion of the complaints over stimuli, contexts, and behaviors is known as generalization. Notwithstanding the fact that generalization leads to the onset and maintenance of psychopathology, it remains unclear what cognitive factors underlie the process of generalization. This doctoral thesis focuses on the study ...
Proceedings of the 5th Middleware doctoral symposium KU Leuven
Following the success of the past symposia in this series, this year's Middleware Doctoral Symposium (MDS) continues to support doctoral students in an early stage of their PhD track. MDS'08 provided doctoral students with opportunities to present their work, obtain early feedback from senior researchers in the field, and meet other students at a similar stage in their careers. The program committee was composed by experienced researchers from ...

Investigating the competencies and learning relations of doctoral students in online interdisciplinary training KU Leuven
Interdisciplinary education has been promoted as essential in health education internationally. Interdisciplinary education involves educators and learners from two or more disciplines who jointly create and foster a collaborative learning environment. Audiological rehabilitation (AR) is an example of a healthcare field that requires interdisciplinary education. AR addresses the limitations and restrictions in communication, functional health ...
Tools for thought University of Antwerp
In deze thesis verken ik de filosofie van de cognitiewetenschappen. Ik verdedig een instrumentalistische interpretatie van het vrije energie principe (VEP), binnen het theoretisch kader van het enactivisme. Het enactivisme is een stroming in de cognitiewetenschappen die het belang van een organismes belichaming, haar omgevingsinbedding en haar interactionele geschiedenis benadrukt. Het VEP voorziet ons van een formalisme waarmee we de activiteit ...
Interlevel causation from an interventionist point of view University of Antwerp
Interlevel causation, broadly defined as the causal infuence of an entity at one level on an entity at another level, is regularly rejected from a philosophical perspective. This rejection seems to conflict with both everyday experience and scientfic practice in the special sciences. Nowhere is this made clearer than in the context of mental causation, where the denial of downward causation has led to the proliferation of epiphenomenalist ...
A highly accurate portable electrochemical sensor for cocaine University of Antwerp
Illicit drugs are everywhere in our society. The clandestine market is growing faster than ever before, with record breaking seizures in Europe (and particularly Belgium) concerning cocaine. Cocaine is singled out as a major substance of interest, in Europe and Belgium in particular. Currently used field tests for cocaine detection have several downfalls. They lack specificity, leading to false positive results, and are also easily bypassed by ...
