Adaptieve vaardigheden, cognitief functioneren en gedragsproblemen bij adolescenten met het 22q11.2-deletiesyndroom [Adaptive skills, cognitive functioning and behavioural problems in adolescents with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome] KU Leuven
The 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2ds) has a highly variable phenotype with a multitude of somatic and psychiatric features. Little is known about the adaptive skills of adolescents with 22q11.2ds.
Cognitive impairment screening using m-health : an android implementation of the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) using speech recognition Universiteit Gent
Reports of Perceived Adverse Events of Stimulant Medication on Cognition, Motivation, and Mood: Qualitative Investigation and the Generation of Items for the Medication and Cognition Rating Scale KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
OBJECTIVE: There is no questionnaire to specifically monitor perceived adverse events of methylphenidate (MPH) on cognition, motivation, and mood. The current study therefore had two goals. First, to harvest accounts of such putative events from transcripts of interviews in samples enriched for such potential experiences. Second, to use the derived data to generate items for a new questionnaire that can be used for monitoring such events in ...

A Framework for Scalable Cognition Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The human brain is still the most competent problem solving system we know. However, as a biological construct, it is impossible to expand because of many developmental constraints such as its con?nement to the cranium. How can we create a general problem solving system inspired by the brain but not so constrained? In functional terms,how can we scale up cognition? We introduce a framework for scalable

The effects of nicotine on cognition are dependent on baseline performance Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Antwerpen
Since cholinergic neurotransmission plays a major role in cognition, stimulation of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor may be a target for cognitive enhancement. While nicotine improves performance on several cognitive domains, results of individual studies vary. A possible explanation for these findings is that the effect of nicotine administration may be dependent on baseline cognitive function, where subjects with a suboptimal cognitive ...
Social systems: complex adaptive loci of cognition Vrije Universiteit Brussel
We argue the case that human social systems and social organizations in particular are concrete, non-metaphorical, cognitive agents operating in their own self-constructed environments. Our point of departure is Luhmann’s theory of social systems as self-organizing systems of communications. Integrating the Luhmannian theory with the enactive theory of cognition and Simondon’s theory of individuation, results in a novel view of social systems as ...
Time-based binding as a solution to and a limitation for flexible cognition Universiteit Gent
Why can't we keep as many items as we want in working memory? It has long been debated whether this resource limitation is a bug (a downside of our fallible biological system) or instead a feature (an optimal response to a computational problem). We propose that the resource limitation is a consequence of a useful feature. Specifically, we propose that flexible cognition requires time-based binding, and time-based binding necessarily limits the ...
Digital sketch maps and eye tracking statistics as instruments to obtain insights into spatial cognition Universiteit Gent
This paper explores map users' cognitive processes in learning, acquiring and remembering information presented via screen maps. In this context, we conducted a mixed-methods user experiment employing digital sketch maps and eye tracking. On the one hand, the performance of the participants was assessed based on the order with which the objects were drawn and the influence of visual variables (e.g. presence & location, size, shape, color). ...
