Task Complexity and L2 Writing Performance of Young Learners: Contributions of Cognitive and Affective Factors
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Chengchen Li; Li Wei; Xiaojun Lu – Modern Language Journal, 2024
The study investigated the effect of task complexity (TC) on second language (L2) learners' affective responses and writing performance and how these were modulated by cognitive and affective individual difference (ID) factors. A total of 412 Chinese 8th-grade English-as-a-foreign-language learners completed a working memory (WM) test, a scale…

Effects of Processing Limits on Computing Scalar Implicatures: Evidence from Child English and Child Mandarin
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wang, Shuyan – Language Learning and Development, 2023
Relatively late mastery of scalar implicatures has been suggested to correlate with children's immature processing capacities, such as their limited working memory. Yet, many studies that tested for a link between children's working memory and their computation of scalar implicatures have failed to find any correlation. One possible reason is that…

Flett, Gordon L.; Nepon, Taryn; Hewitt, Paul L.; Zaki-Azat, Justeena; Rose, Alison L.; Swiderski, Kristina – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2020
In the current article, we describe the development and validation of the Mistake Rumination Scale as a supplement to existing trait and cognitive measures of perfectionism. The Mistake Rumination Scale is a seven-item inventory that taps the tendency to ruminate about a past personal mistake. Psychometric analyses confirmed that the Mistake…

An Information Processing Approach to Performance Assessment: II. An Investigation of Encoding and Retrieval Processes in Memory. Technical Report No. 2, November 16, 1977 through November 30, 1978.
Fernandes, Kathleen; Rose, Andrew M. – 1978
An information processing approach was applied to the development and validation of a test battery intended for personnel selection, classification, and guidance; and design of training programs. The approach specifies that tests should measure specific cognitive processes and basic abilities, rather than prior experience. Tests should be short,…
