Leandro Cruz, M. (author), Saunders-Smits, Gillian (author)To assist in resolving the perceived lack of transversal competencies (TCs) of engineering graduates by industry, this study investigates the characteristics of transforming an existing industry TC instrument for use in engineering education. The instrument consists of 36 nuanced sub-competencies with the corresponding definitions and...journal article 2022

Daniel, A.M. (author), Mouter, N. (author), Chorus, C.G. (author)Objectives: Research efforts evaluating the role of altruistic motivations behind health policy support are usually based on direct preference elicitation procedures, which may be biased. We propose an indirect measurement approach to approximate self-protection–related and altruistic motivations underlying preferences for public health policies...journal article 2022

Unperceived motor actions of the balance system interfere with the causal attribution of self-motionTisserand, Romain (author), Rasman, Brandon G. (author), Omerovic, Nina (author), Peters, Ryan M. (author), Forbes, P.A. (author), Blouin, Jean Sébastien (author)The instability of human bipedalism demands that the brain accurately senses balancing self-motion and determines whether movements originate from self-generated actions or external disturbances. Here, we challenge the longstanding notion that this process relies on a single representation of the body and world to accurately perceive postural...journal article 2022

Richardson, Benjamin A. (author), Vardar, Y. (author), Wallraven, Christian (author), Kuchenbecker, Katherine J. (author)Whenever we touch a surface with our fingers, we perceive distinct tactile properties that are based on the underlying dynamics of the interaction. However, little is known about how the brain aggregates the sensory information from these dynamics to form abstract representations of textures. Earlier studies in surface perception all used...journal article 2022

However, the perception of passengers is different. Passengers might be afraid of catching the COVID-19 virus or another virus while traveling. <br/>This study shows that especially the phase of eating without a facemask and the phase of disembarking with passengers...journal article 2021

Tissen, L.N.M. (author)This article uses the COVID –19 crisis to re –evaluate the importance of reproductions – 3D prints – for art’s authenticity, and their significance in keeping art museums meaningful in a rapidly changing world. The fixation on ‘auratic experiences’, inherent to artworks’ materiality is integral to contemporary art theory and museum practice,...journal article 2021

Shvarts, Anna (author), van Helden, G. (author)Educational technologies develop quickly. Which functions of face-to-face education can be substituted by technology for distance learning? One of the risks of online education is the lack of embodied interactions. We investigate what embodied interactive technologies might offer for teaching trigonometry when learning at a distance. In a...journal article 2021

Di Cicco, F. (author), Zhao, Y. (author), Wijntjes, M.W.A. (author), Pont, S.C. (author), Schifferstein, Hendrik N.J. (author)Food appearance sets intentions and expectations. When designing packaged food much attention is devoted to packaging elements like color and shape, but less to the characteristics of the images used. To our awareness, no study has yet investigated how the appearance of the food shown on the package affects consumers’ preferences. Often, orange...journal article 2021

Vos, J. (author), Farah, H. (author), Hagenzieker, Marjan (author)Operating speeds in Dutch freeway curves differ often by 20 km/h compared to their design speeds. Operating speed is thought to be influenced by how drivers perceive curves when approaching a curve. This explorative research explores which curve cues and other variables influence drivers’ speed choice in curves. For this purpose, a survey was...journal article 2021

de Winkel, K.N. (author), Edel, Ellen (author), Happee, R. (author), Bülthoff, Heinrich H. (author)Percepts of verticality are thought to be constructed as a weighted average of multisensory inputs, but the observed weights differ considerably between studies. In the present study, we evaluate whether this can be explained by differences in how visual, somatosensory and proprioceptive cues contribute to representations of the Head In Space ...journal article 2021

However, there are various challenges in the realization of prefabricated housing (PH) from the stakeholder's perspective. Transaction costs (TCs) theory provides a particular angle that explains the invisible costs within transactions. This...journal article 2021

Saunders-Smits, Gillian (author), Craps, Sofie (author), Carthy, Darren (author), Langie, Greet (author)Recent research by KU Leuven showed that 33% of the engineering graduates in Flanders changed jobs in the first year, with 60% of those citing job content as a reason. Also, industry often reports that recent graduate hires lack the right skills for the job. It appears that students seem to enter the labour market less prepared both in...journal article 2021

(author)Humans efficiently estimate the grip force necessary to lift a variety of objects, including slippery ones. The regulation of grip force starts with the initial contact and takes into account the surface properties, such as friction. This estimation of the frictional strength has been shown to depend critically on cutaneous information....journal article 2021

Here, we studied the perception of the material signatures and key image features of different depicted fabrics, like satin and velvet. We also tested whether the perception of fabrics depicted in paintings related to local or global cues,...journal article 2021
