PhD Student for ‘Learning and Memory of Multimodal Information’, Netherlands
PhD student for ‘Learning and memory of multimodal information’, Netherlands
Job description:
As a PhD student you will work on the project ‘Learning and memory of multimodal information by teachers and students’. This project is part of the FES Programme Brain & Cognition (see ). The focus of this project is on the processes of learning and memory of multimodal information by (student) teachers and school children in various instructional multimedia platforms. Multimedia comprehension involves the parallel processing of auditory-verbal and visual-pictorial channels within working memory. By integrating multimodal information, students are able to acquire new knowledge. However, the processes of knowledge construction may be dependent on the load a task imposes on the learner’s cognitive system. Such cognitive load is determined by the learner’s prior knowledge, motivation, and processing strategies as well as by task demands. The present study will examine how children and teachers learn, consolidate and store information across modalities. Moreover, it will be explored which learner and task characteristics explain the individual variation in text comprehension in order to optimize teacher learning processes.
Requirements:
You should have: – a Master’s degree in Research Master Cognitive (Neuro)science or Behavioural Science, Education, or another relevant study; – broad experience with quantitative research, outstanding methodological and analytical qualities, and experience with collecting and analysing data; – excellent writing skills in Dutch and English; – an organizational talent, accompanied by independence and perseverance.
Conditions of employment:
The starting salary is €2,042 per month on a full-time base; the salary will increase to €2,612 per month on a full-time base in the fourth year.
