Introducing: Jonathan Swennenhuis from Utrecht University
Studying cognitive psychology has changed the way I see the world. More often than I thought, I find myself questioning things we often take for granted. Products, that are designed for humans, sometimes just seem to forget about the human operator handling it.
As part of my master’s degree in Applied Cognitive Psychology at Utrecht University, I will be joining Katrina at the Connected Creativity lab for the coming three months.
I’ll be bringing my cognitive perspective to creativity research, connecting creative behaviour to the underlying cognitive processes. Our main project will be a study concerning collaboration between creative students and generative AI systems, focusing on creative cognition as the outcome. Other projects include the understanding of the perceptions of creativity and the recently announced creativity event on December 8th, Inspeeration!
I will share more about the content of these projects along the way.
For now, I’m really excited to get going, expanding my own knowledge, contributing to new insights and immersing myself in the field of creativity research.
