Abstract Purpose - The purpose of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of how employees, of the London Hilton on Park Lane hotel, make sense of organisational changes resulting from crisis management during the Covid-19 pandemic. We aim to contribute to the existing literature within the field of change and crisis management and build on Weick’s (1995) concept of sensemaking. Therefore, ou
In this paper, the problems of defining specific language impairment in children are addressed. In particular, the borderline between specific language impairment and handicaps involving disorders of pragmatics and/or cognition are scrutinized. The delineation between specific language impairment on the one hand, and language impairment concomitant with other handicaps has, to some extent, been ar
Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka experimentledareffekter i ett false belief-test. Utifrån detta syfte konstruerades ett false belief-test i form av en kort tecknad film. Med utgångspunkt i tidigare forskning var hypotesen att de barn som tittade på filmen utan experimentledarens närvaro skulle klara false belief-uppgiften bättre än de som tittade tillsammans med en vuxen. Det fanns
This monograph discusses the question of what it is to be a reason – mainly in practical ethics – and proposes an original contribution to metaethics.It critically examines theories of metaethical realism, constructivism and error theory and identifies several misunderstandings or unclarities in contemporary debates. Based on this examination, the book suggests a distinction between a conceptual q
This edited work draws on a range of contributed expertise to trace the fortune of an Aristotelian thesis over different periods in the history of philosophy. It presents eight cases of direct or indirect challenges to the Aristotelian passive account of human cognition, taking the reader from late antiquity to the 20th century. Chapters analyse the (often indirect) effect of Aristotle’s account o
In this introduction, we explain how the chapters in this volume give support to the idea that different accounts of active cognition in the history of philosophy directly or indirectly respond to Aristotle’s account of cognition in his De anima.
OBJECTIVE: Most parents yearn for a second-trimester ultrasound examination and feel excitement about it, but some also worry about what the examination will show. According to prior research, using only generic instruments or specific questionnaires, anxiety decreases when the ultrasound findings are normal. The aim of this study was to compare parents' worry (Parents' Expectations, Experiences,
In the debate about how to interpret Violation-of-Expectation (VoE) based false-belief experiments, it has been suggested that infants are predicting the actions of the agent based on more or less sophisticated cognitive means. We present an alternative, more parsimonious interpretation, exploring the possibility that the infants’ reactions are not governed by rational expectation but rather of me
Studies on teachable agents (TA) have repeatedly demonstrated their benefits in primary school pupils’ learning, but no study has yet been devised to investigate whether the same effects can be observed in preschoolers. Preschool age is an important time for development of executive functions (EF) and theory of mind (ToM), and it can be argued that preschoolers might not be able to pay enough atte

IT champions have considerable influence on the adoption of a new technology in organisations. A champion engages in a new technology and uses influential tactics to sell and implement it in the organisation. While the importance of IT champions is well documented, very little is understood about how a champion makes sense of a new technology and what sources of beliefs influence the technology co
Studies have shown that four years is a milestone when it comes to the development of explicit Theory of Mind (ToM). But recent studies have suggested that it is possible for younger children to show this ability explicitly, given that the test conditions are modified. The aim of this current study was to examine whether a more ecologically valid test setting could increase performance in a false
More and more people are moving to urban areas, but with this urban growth, there is also an increase in the urban population coping with health problems. This thesis explores the possibilities of restoring mental health through Urban Design. This is done by creating a vision plan for a restorative neighbourhood in Antwerp, named 'Het Eilandje'.
