You can find an updated version of this preprint here: osf.io/preprints/ps...

In this preprint, I argue that cognitive understanding is a functional coordination pattern β€”analogous to swimmingβ€” based on a complex systems, coordination dynamics, affordances, and (now also) constraints perspective.

Schrap de onderwijskansenregeling voor 455.000 leerlingen niet Dit kabinet presenteert de rekening aan de 455.000 meest kwetsbare leerlingen. Door het schrappen van onder meer de Onderwijskansenregeling (177 miljoen euro) ontstaan er grote problemen op scholen wa...

Het kabinet zou zich kapot moeten schamen.

Want bovenop de grootste onderwijsbezuiniging van deze eeuw, wordt Γ³Γ³k 177 miljoen weggehaald bij kinderen die het al moeilijk hebben.

Help het onderwijs om dit tegen te houden.

I want to conduct semi-structured interviews w parents of children who undergo long term medical treatment (e.g. for clubfoot, hip dysplasia) about their experiences with treatment, HC interactions and the child’s cognitive, emotional-social and motor dev.

Any suggestions for an existing protocol?

I could not agree more.

Cutting English Psychology bachelor programs in many Dutch universities would be a huge, unnecessary, loss.

We need to stand up for science. And currently for Psychological science in particular.

Understanding why people do the things they do could not be more urgent.

Cutting international bachelor programs threatens psychological science Β» Eiko Fried Two days ago, four Dutch universities announced discontinuing their English-speaking psychology bachelor programs (1, 2). I will briefly explain (1) how this decision came to be, (2) why this is such ...

Four large Dutch universities, including Leiden University where I work, have decided to throw international psychology bachelor programs under the bus in an effort to appease the rightwing government.

Here's my blog why this is a terrible idea.

I usually post research or academic stuff, but this is a bit different.

My family worked in manufacturing and export for years; we’re worried about the US tariffs, but we also know Vietnam's survived 30-yr embargo.

Many thanks for both your suggestions! I also like these papers a lot. I think my struggle is that these papers seem more CogSci-based, while the course is about child rearing and education; about the "real-life" development of difficulties and interventions in these areas from a CDS/DST perspective

Introduction to a dynamic systems approach to psychosocial development In 2012, Kunnen published a book entitled A Dynamic Systems Approach to Adolescent Development, which presented new techniques for the study of adolescent

Something that comes close is this introduction chapter of a book by De Ruiter et al. (2019) on Psychosocial development in adolescence : insights from the dynamic systems approach.

But I would rather include a standalone paper which is less about adolescence.

Many thanks for your suggestions, very helpful!

Part of my struggle is that the course focusses on development, child rearing and education, with implications for practice which stem from a complexity/DST perspective. Many of the sources seem CogSci-based, which seems less relevant for the course.
