Introduction
The mission of the J.F. Schouten School is to develop and maintain a research program in thearea of Human Factors, and to offer an education program on Psychology & Technology to PhD
students who have entered the field.
The J. F. Schouten School has the aim to provide teaching for PhD students in the broadlydefined domain of Human Factors. Following the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society
(HFES) subdivision in Technical Groups, topics of interest include Augmented Cognition,Cognitive Engineering and Decision Making, Communications, Environmental Design, Human
Performance Modeling, Perception and Performance, Product Design, and Virtual Environments.(For a complete list of groups, see theHFES website).
The J.F. Schouten School, which is a continuation of the Perception & Technology Graduate
School Program that was established by the TUE in 1993, received accreditation by the KNAW(Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences) in June 1997. In July 2002 the J.F. Schouten
School received accreditation by the KNAW until 2007. After some years of inactivity due to areorganization, the J. F. Schouten School will start providing workshops for PhD students from
the 2012-2013 academic year onwards. The target group of the Psychology & Technologyprogram includes PhD students and staff from the 3TU Centre of Excellence (i.o.) in Human-
Technology Interaction, the Eindhoven Centre of Innovation Studies (ECIS) and the NIRICTSRA Human-Technology Interaction. In addition, PhD students from related fields are invited to
apply for participation.
The current impact of novel products and technological environments on human society can
hardly be overestimated. The interdisciplinary research field of Human Factors is concerned withthe theoretical and experimental study of the interaction between the people and technologywithin society. When we first focus on people, experimental psychology is paramount, in
particular in the areas of perception and action, cognition, as well as in social, environmental, andorganizational psychology. In this respect, the J.F. Schouten School aims at stimulating the
discovery, exchange, and dissemination of psychological knowledge used for the design ofinteractive systems, machines, and environments, in such a way that compatibility is achieved
with their technological design. This implies that the psychological questions cannot beconsidered in isolation. In order to guarantee performance both from the technological and the
user perspective, engineering has to have an equal share in the design process. Engineeringapproaches are an indispensable part of providing scientific solutions to research questions in the
field of human-technology interaction. This interaction between people and technology isessential for the proper development of the field, and its study is part of the core of a university of
technology claiming to play a role in innovating society.

General Information
The J. F. Schouten School aims to organize one-day workshops once a month. Courses are openand free for all interested researchers, but are created especially for PhD students. The goal of the
workshop series is to teach essential methodological and practical skills, provide in-depthoverviews of current theoretical questions, to enable PhD students to share and get feedback on
their research projects, and to allow PhD students to create a network of peers.
Enrollment
Ph.D. students can enroll in J. F. Schouten-courses by registering with the J. F. Schouten-officeup to one month before the course starts. You can enroll by filling out theregistration form. All J.
F. Schouten School members will receive a call for enrollment by e-mail and an overview of allenrollments after the deadline for registration. Students will be notified about whether they can
participate one month prior to the course/workshop they enrolled in, depending on the maximumnumber of participants for a given workshop. If you are unable to attend a course or workshop
please cancel your enrollment at the J. F. Schouten office at least a week prior to the course.
Costs
In principle, the J. F. Schouten School aims to provide all courses free of charge for any Ph.D.student who is interested in the topic of a given workshop. If the interest in a given workshop
exceeds the maximum number of participants, participants will be selected on the basis of date ofenrollment on a first come first serve basis.
For the year 2012-2013 all courses are taught at the TU/e, with a focus on the interplay betweenPsychology & Technology, except for the Persuasive Communication workshop on the 18
thof
April, which it taught at the Hogeschool Utrecht. Detailed information about the rooms and times
will be send through e-mail to all students who have enrolled for a specific course at least oneweek before a course is scheduled.
Teaching
The J. F. Schouten Graduate School relies on volunteers to provide workshops. If you have a
theoretical expertise related to the broadly defined field of Human Factors, or have amethodological expertise that you are willing to share and teach to PhD students, please contact
the J. F. Schouten School. For example, we are still looking for a teacher for the Introduction to Rworkshop planned for early June 2013.

Course Descriptions
Title Introduction &Good Research Practices
Teaching staff Prof. Dr. Cees Midden, Prof. Dr. Wijnand IJsselsteijn, & Dr. D. Lakens
Date September 27th 2012
Type of course Basic Course
Duration One-day meeting
Language English
Content This meeting will consist of two parts. First, the J. F. Schouten Graduate
School is introduced, and there will be some time for students and several
teachers to introduce themselves to get to know one another.
The rest of the meeting will focus on Good Research Practices. Following
published research about pre-cognition (Bem, 2011), fraud cases (Levelt,
2011), and questionable research practices (Simmons, Nelson, & Simonsohn,
2011), the social sciences, and especially psychologists, are reflecting on
what Good Research Practices are. In this workshop, we aim to let students
develop their own set of good research practices. What do the APA ethical
regulations say about how participants should be treated? How do you store
and share your data and experiments with other researchers? When can
research findings be considered robust enough for publication, and what is
the difference between exploratory and confirmatory research?

Students will read papers related to Good Research Practices and discuss the
contents with fellow students. They will develop their own set of Good
Research Practices that they will adhere to while pursuing their PhD.

Title Asking Statistical Questions
Teaching staff Dr. Antal Haans
Date October 4, 2012
Type of course Methodology Course
Duration One-day meeting
Language English
Content What is the purpose of the statistical analysis of data? Trivial as this question
may seem, its answer has a profound impact on the data analytical process.
In experimental psychology, the purpose of data analysis is to ask questions
about the population of interest on the basis of a sample. Being skilled in
data analysis does not only imply being able to perform complex analyses,
but also to transform ones research question in to the proper statistical one.
Relying on textbook methods, for example for analysing a 2 by 3
experimental design, may put one at risk of committing a so-called Type III
error: Getting the correct answer to the wrong question.
The focus of this course is threefold: It covers the basics of statistical
inference-making (e.g., how can we answer questions about a population of
which the relevant parameters are unknown?), what constitutes good data-
analysis (e.g., with respect to sample size, robustness, and the selection of
appropriate techniques), and offers training in common and advanced
parametric methods, including analysis of (co)variance, interactions in
ANOVA and regression, contrast analysis, and mediation analysis.

Teaching staff Dr. Sonja Rispens, Ir. Ivo Jongsma
Date November 13th, 2012
Type of course Workshop
Duration One-day meeting
Language English
Content In the morning program the all important aspects of the process of getting
ones work published in international refereed journals is discussed. Issues
such as manuscript preparation, style, choice of journal, editorial letters, and
responses to reviews are discussed. In the afternoon program, the focus will
lie on how to review articles. When do you accept or reject a manuscript?
How do you write a structured review? Participants will review a paper that
has recently been submitted for publication to a journal. During the meeting
there will be opportunity to ask questions and discuss experiences.
In the end of the afternoon, the Science Information Officer of the TU/e, ir
Ivo Jongsma, will inform you about the different ways in which you can
share your work with a wider audience. How do you write a press release?
How can the university helps you to reach out to the media? There will be a
lot of room for questions and sharing experiences.

Title Interference Effects
Teaching staff Dr. Danil Lakens
Date December 6th
2012
Type of course Theoretical Workshop
Duration One-day meeting
Language English
Content When people process information, the speed with which they are able to do
so depends on the way this information is presented. Psychological research
has revealed many examples of when and how congruent information is
processed faster than incongruent information. These findings are known as
interference effects, and give many insights into the ways people process all
types of information, such as visual characteristics of stimuli, words,
emotions, or social cues. Interference effect are arguably the one of the most
robust effects in psychological science.
If you have ever turned the wrong heater on your stove on or off, you will
have first-hand experience of the practical applicability of interference
effects. Interference effects are also widely used in experimental paradigms
to examine human cognition. During the workshop five typical experimental
paradigms that rely on interference will be discussed. Participants will
experience several of the interference effects in the lab, followed by an
explanation of the underlying processes and scientific applications of the
-

paradigms. In the morning the Stroop effect, Simon effect, and Size-
Congruency effect will be discussed. In the afternoon the workshop will
focus on metaphor congruency effects, affective priming paradigms, and the
Implicit Association Test. Students who have used interference based
measures in their own research will be asked to give a presentation.
Throughout the workshop, examples will be provided of the practical
application of interference effects to examine human-technology interaction.

Title Bottom-Up and Top-Down Processes in Perception
Teaching staff Dr. Dik Hermes
Date January 10th
2013
Type of course Theoretical Workshop
Duration One-day meeting
Language English
Content Perception is a complex process in which information coming from the
senses is processed and combined with information structures that represent
past experience. Functionally, these processes must guarantee that perceivers
acquire a meaningful "image" of what happens around them. The processes
that process the incoming information are indicated with primitive or
bottom-up processes. The processes that fit this new information into the
existing information structures and interpret it, are indicated with schema-
driven or top-down processes.
In this workshop, various examples from visual and hearing research will be
presented illustrating these processes. Pitch perception in hearing and colour
perception in vision will be discussed as an example of a primitive process;
speech perception and reading as examples of a schema-driven processes.
Experimental ways to decide whether primitive or schema-driven processes
play a role in a perceptual phenomenon will be discussed. The state of the art
in modelling there processes will shortly be indicated.

Title Hacking your social network
Teaching staff Prof. Dr. Chris Snijders & Dr. Gerrit Rooks
Date March 21st
2013
Type of course Basic Course
Duration One-day meeting
Language English
Content The term "social network" has been around since the 1950s, but the meteoric
rise of social-networking Web sites like MySpace, Facebook and Linkedin
has turned a dusty sociological phrase into the hottest buzzword of the
Internet age.
A social network is a structure that maps out the relationships between
individuals. In principle we all belong to one giant social network, but we
also belong to smaller, tighter social networks defined by our families, our
friends, where we live, where we work, where we went to school, our
hobbies and interests and much more.
One of the interesting features of networks is that, technically, networks can
be represented as a graph that looks like a group of dots with lines in
between them. What the dots represent (people, chicken, cities, countries)
and what the lines represent ("A likes B", "A has the same color as B", "A
-
7/29/2019 Teaching Program 2012-2013

14
talks about B") can be anything you are interested in, but the underlying
logic remains the same.
In this course we consider the basic principles of social network theory, and
then apply these principles to your own social network. By measuring and
mapping your own social network, you can analyze for yourself how the
connections you have can be improved, and how the relationships between
your connections shape your possibilities and restrictions.
Social networks are the relationships that tie us together and that give us
access to resources we do not have ourselves. You better make sure that
yours is working well for you!

Title Persuasive Communication
Teaching staff Dr. Annemarike Lokhorst & Dr. Reint Jan Renes
Date April 18th
2013
Type of course Theoretical Workshops
Duration One-day meeting
Language English
Content Across contexts and disciplines, many research projects deal to some extent
with persuasion and social influence. How can we get people to eat healthy?
How can we increase the use of hybrid cars? How can we encourage
sustainable waste management? These are questions that both scientists and
field practitioners are asking. In this workshop, we will discuss the current
scientific insights in persuasive communication. Students will be expected to
present their own work and/or theoretical concepts. In the afternoon, special
attention will be paid to how these theoretical insights can be used in actual
campaigns. We will discuss which steps need to be taken to go from our
theories to useful tools, and what we as scientists have to offer practitioners
who design these real-life campaigns. Expect a day full of brainstorming,
discussion and lively debate!
Reint Jan Renes is part-time Associate Professor Health Communication at
Wageningen University and Applied Professor Crossmedia Communication
in the Public Domain at the University of Applied Sciences in Utrecht. As

such, Reint Jan Renes is interested in a variety of issues related to
crossmedia communication and persuasion. More specifically, he is
interested in understanding human (intrinsic) motivation and intention -
behaviour relations, isolating basic social psychological processes and
testing their application to a variety of prosocial behaviours in the public
domain.
Anne Marike is an Assistant Professor in Persuasive Communication at
Wageningen University. In general she's interested in ways to improve
environmental behaviors - especially in ways that tap into social processes.
Examples are for instance public commitment making and group
discussions. Are they effective in promoting environmentally significant
behaviors, and more importantly, how are they effective? Her research is
mainly quantitative, using questionnaires, experiments in both field and lab,
and scenario studies.

Title Self-Regulation
Teaching staff Dr. Yvonne de Kort, Dr. Sander Koole
Date May 23rd, 2013
Type of course Theoretical Workshop
Duration One-day meeting
Language English
Content Self-regulation is the ability to control one's emotions, behavior, and desires
in order to obtain a goal, or avoid negative outcomes. Nevertheless, people
often find it difficult to regulate their behavior, for example to stop smoking.
In this workshop, several experts in the field of self-regulation will present a
theoretical overview of the field, discuss recent studies and insights, with a
special focus on the application of these insights to design succesful
intervention strategies to help people regulate their behavior. Several
research topics will be discussed in detail, such as resource-depletion,
emotion regulation, and behavior interventions.

Title: Getting Started with R for Data Analysis
Teaching Staff: Maarten Kampert, MSc & Sonia Amodio, PhD
Date June 6th, 2013
Type of course Workshop
Duration One-day meeting
Language English
Content The aim of this workshop is to familiarize the course attendants with the use
of computers for modern statistical analyses using the very basics in the R
computing environment. Topics that will be covered include among others:
Pro's and Cons of R, installing R, the basic structure of the R, installing
packages, use R for reading data, producing descriptive statistics and
graphics with R, and fitting simple regression or ANOVA models. The
workshop will consist of interactive lab sessions to introduce the concepts
mentioned above motivated by a real data example. Apart from these course
topics, we hope that by the end of the day the attendants are ready to search
and easily acquaint with other data analytic functions in R.
