Intentionality in task design research: examining the design process of an online learning tool about mathematics in society
This thesis explores the design intentions and considerations made in the creation of an online learning tool for adults. Research in task design includes two components: design as intention and design as implementation. My research contributes to conversations about design as intention by …

Subliminal priming as a task-characteristic artifact
… of subliminal priming rely on a dual task design: A target identification task in which the priming effect is measured, and a prime identification task in which visibility of the primes is assessed. The validity of this design relies on the critical assumption that the estimates of …

First impressions of child faces: Facial trustworthiness influences adults’ interpretations of children’s behaviour in ambiguous situations
… behavioural outcomes for children. Using a novel task design, we examined adults’ perceptions of children’s behaviour in ambiguous situations. After a brief presentation of a child’s face (high or low trust), participants viewed the child’s face embedded within an ambiguous scene involving two …
