    With increasing age, people’s cognitive skills decline. How fast this occurs, differs among people and depends on a variety of factors. Whether having autism is a risk-factor for accelerated aging or a potential protective factor is unknown. In this project this will be tested and influential factors will be determined.

    How can climate policy lead to behavioural change? ChangeAble develops new knowledge aimed at accelerating behavioural change, provides insight into which individual, social and contextual factors stimulate sustainable behaviour, and how and when policy can effectively leverage them. ChangeAble also provides insight into how tipping points can be reached by improved policy timing for more widespread and faster sustainable behavioural change. ChangeAble identifies, develops and tests interventions to promote changes in social conventions in five policy areas. In this way, ChangeAble contributes to more effective, efficient, acceptable and just climate policy by making better use of behavioural knowledge in policy.

    Influential studies in the United States have shown that low and high income groups vastly differ in political influence. This study explores whether such patterns hold for wealth- as well as incomeinequality, and for democratic settings that more tightly limit money in politics. Inequalities should more modestly affect political inequalities in European democracies that constrain lobbying and contributions, but wealth inequality may more strongly foster political inequalities also in Europe, by favouring the rich in informal political networks. Quantitative analysis in sixteen countries promises major insights into how fuller measure of economic inequality affects political equality across widely ranging democracies.

    De basisschool is een van de vele sociale contexten waarbinnen kinderen burgerschapscompetenties ontwikkelen. Kinderen leren om burger te zijn door deel te nemen aan sociale en culturele praktijken die deel uitmaken van hun dagelijks leven. Het is daarom jammer dat er in het basisonderwijs vaak onvoldoende verbinding wordt gemaakt tussen de burgerschapservaringen op school en de burgerschapservaringen die leerlingen in andere contexten opdoen. Uit onderzoek blijkt dat het reflecteren op leerervaringen in verschillende contexten een proces van analyseren en integreren op gang kan brengen. Het ontbreekt leraren echter aan handvatten om reflectie op binnen- en buitenschoolse leerervaringen te stimuleren. In dit onderzoek willen we daarom nagaan of en op welke manier reflectie gestimuleerd kan worden om binnen- en buitenschoolse burgerschapservaringen met elkaar te verbinden en te verdiepen en zo burgerschapscompetenties te bevorderen. Leraren ontwikkelen samen met onderzoekers reflectiestrategieën (handvatten) die het reflecteren door basisschoolleerlingen in groep 7 en 8 op binnen- en buitenschoolse leerervaringen stimuleren. Vervolgens wordt in een quasi-experimentele studie onderzocht wat het effect is van het werken met de ontwikkelde reflectiestrategieën op de kwaliteit van reflectie (analyseren en integreren van binnen- en buitenschoolse burgerschapservaringen) en de burgerschapscompetenties van leerlingen. Dit project levert kennis en praktische handvatten op waarmee leraren de persoonlijke ervaringen van leerlingen kunnen betrekken in de les en waarmee zij reflectie op binnen- en buitenschoolse burgerschapservaringen bij leerlingen kunnen stimuleren om zo de ontwikkeling van burgerschapscompetenties te bevorderen.

    A crucial question in child psychiatry is when to offer learning support or clinical interventions to optimally help avoid the long-lasting negative impact of developmental difficulties early in life. I propose to develop a formal description of so-called sensitive periods during early cognitive development, in which specific cognitive milestones are reached to enable a growth spurt in another cognitive skill or behavior. A better understanding of such sensitive periods requires a formal model of developmental dynamics such as compensation, growth, and decline - which would eventually allow researchers and clinicians to test their hypotheses about the optimal timing to intervene.
