Second-order covariation is a form of mathematical reasoning that needs to be characterized both concerning students' cognitive processes and the design of tasks that promote it. This contribution aims to shed light on these two issues by comparing data related to the same learning experiment performed in two different learning environments:…

In this series of experiments, we tested the limits of young infants' word learning and generalization abilities in light of recent findings reporting sophisticated word learning abilities in the first year of life. Ten-month-old infants were trained with two word-object pairs and tested with either the same or different members of the…

As education gets increasingly digitized, and intelligent tutoring systems gain commercial prominence, scalable assessment generation mechanisms become a critical requirement for enabling increased learning outcomes.
