Fabian Tomaschek; Michael Ramscar; Jessie S. Nixon – Cognitive Science, 2024
Sequence learning is fundamental to a wide range of cognitive functions. Explaining how sequences--and the relations between the elements they comprise--are learned is a fundamental challenge to cognitive science. However, although hundreds of articles addressing this question are published each year, the actual learning mechanisms involved in the…

Isaac N. Treves; Jonathan Cannon; Eren Shin; Cindy E. Li; Lindsay Bungert; Amanda O'Brien; Annie Cardinaux; Pawan Sinha; John D. E. Gabrieli – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Some theories have proposed that autistic individuals have difficulty learning predictive relationships. We tested this hypothesis using a serial reaction time task in which participants learned to predict the locations of a repeating sequence of target locations. We conducted a large-sample online study with 61 autistic and 71 neurotypical…

Jinnie Shin; Bowen Wang; Wallace N. Pinto Junior; Mark J. Gierl – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2024
The benefits of incorporating process information in a large-scale assessment with the complex micro-level evidence from the examinees (i.e., process log data) are well documented in the research across large-scale assessments and learning analytics. This study introduces a deep-learning-based approach to predictive modeling of the examinee's…

Gao, Ming; Zhang, Jingjing; Lu, Yu; Kahn, Ken; Winters, Niall – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: As a non-cognitive trait, grit plays an important role in human learning. Although students higher in grit are more likely to perform well on tests, how they learn in the process has been underexamined. Objectives: This study attempted to explore how students with different levels of grit behave and learn in an exploratory learning…

Gupta, Anika; Garg, Deepak; Kumar, Parteek – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2022
With the onset of online education via technology-enhanced learning platforms, large amount of educational data is being generated in the form of logs, clickstreams, performance, etc. These Virtual Learning Environments provide an opportunity to the researchers for the application of educational data mining and learning analytics, for mining the…

de Kleijn, Roy; Kachergis, George; Hommel, Bernhard – Cognitive Science, 2018
Sequential action makes up the bulk of human daily activity, and yet much remains unknown about how people learn such actions. In one motor learning paradigm, the serial reaction time (SRT) task, people are taught a consistent sequence of button presses by cueing them with the next target response. However, the SRT task only records keypress…

Singh, Sonia; Walk, Anne M.; Conway, Christopher M. – Annals of Dyslexia, 2018
Previous research suggests that individuals with developmental dyslexia perform below typical readers on non-linguistic cognitive tasks involving the learning and encoding of statistical-sequential patterns. However, the neural mechanisms underlying such a deficit have not been well examined. The aim of the present study was to investigate the…

Testolin, Alberto; Stoianov, Ivilin; Sperduti, Alessandro; Zorzi, Marco – Cognitive Science, 2016
Learning the structure of event sequences is a ubiquitous problem in cognition and particularly in language. One possible solution is to learn a probabilistic generative model of sequences that allows making predictions about upcoming events. Though appealing from a neurobiological standpoint, this approach is typically not pursued in…

Ng, Kelvin H. R.; Hartman, Kevin; Liu, Kai; Khong, Andy W. H. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2016
During the semester break, 36 second-grade students accessed a set of resources and completed a series of online math activities focused on the application of the model method for arithmetic in two contexts 1) addition/subtraction and 2) multiplication/division. The learning environment first modeled and then supported the use of a scripted series…
