I did a thesis on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) using Cognitive Psychology and Activity Theory as a background. Cognitive Science fascinates me but I have little experience with it. At the moment I'm a PhD student at the IT University of Copenhagen, at the PIT lab studying HCI, but I mainly have a software development background.
In 2007 I got my bachelor degree in applied informatics in Belgium. Immediately after, I started working at the company where I did my internship, AIM Productions. I liked the work and colleagues at the company too much to give up entirely for further studies, so I decided to combine the two. In 2009 I started studying for my master in Game and Media Technology at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands and I graduated in 2012.

Is procrastination greater when skill is low and rewards offer low status boost and does this lead to efficient task allocation in groups? Gentlemen, please continue the 'hypotheses' discussion on this meta topic. ;p |

Why do you sometimes write down one word while actually intending to write another? Yes it does, and I appreciate your input, but I can't up vote this because this site expects "good, well supported answers". |

Does the concept of employee engagement add anything over and above traditional concepts? No need for such a long title, the details are explained in the question content. |

Perception of time as a function of age I wouldn't think there is any age related causality with time perception. I'm thinking more along the lines of how you can forget almost any detail while driving to work, but remember intricate details about going to a concert. When you don't receive any new 'impulses' you are likely to perceive that as time passing faster. 'older' people tend to have that more. Once you start working life becomes more routine, and you can notice a clear difference in perception of time. Unfortunately I can't substantiate any of this, it's just a hunch. ;p |

How to measure emotional intensity? I'm guessing the 'heart' of this question is really whether you can tell whether what one person experiences physically as a certain level of happiness corresponds to what another one experiences. For this purpose, I would believe subjective studies get you nowhere, but you pointed that out, so +1. |

How to measure emotional intensity? Please refrain from including all the details in your title. That's what the content area is for. I adjusted it in a suggested edit. |

What type of learning mechanism produces a consistent typo? "The rate of typing is nearly the same for random words as it is for meaningful text.", as a touch typist I would be surprised by that. :O Some common sequences flow out of your fingers while others are noticeably slower, but I could just be imagining stuff and I could just be noticing "Letter pairs that occur more frequently in normal language are typed faster than less frequent pairs.". |

Do people have a tendency to stick to one opinion after they formed it? @ThomasOwens: Satisficing seems to be related to decision making, but from what I read doesn't consider the disposition to prefer ideas you started out with. shanusmagnus's reference to dissonance literature reflects this much better. |
