Direct linkMagner, Ulrike Irmgard Elisabeth; Glogger, Inga; Renkl, Alexander – Educational Psychology, 2016
How can illustrations motivate learners in multimedia learning? Which features make illustrations interesting? Beside the theoretical relevance of addressing these questions, these issues are practically relevant when instructional designers are to decide which features of illustrations can trigger situational interest irrespective of individual…

Salthouse, Timothy A. – Brain and Cognition, 2010
Researchers frequently attempt to identify the specific neurocognitive processes that might be responsible for differences in performance associated with neurological status or other individual difference characteristics by administering two or more conditions of an experimental task to different groups of participants, and focusing on the…

Thomas; Molenaar, Peter C. M.; Gates, Kathleen M. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2012
In the past decade, there has been a dramatic growth in research examining the development of emotion from a physiological perspective. However, this widespread use of physiological measures to study emotional development coexists with relatively few guiding principles, thus reducing opportunities to move the field forward in innovative ways. The…

Mantyla, Timo; Carelli, Maria Grazia; Forman, Helen – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2007
This study examined time-based prospective memory performance in relation to individual and developmental differences in executive functioning. School-age children and young adults completed six experimental tasks that tapped three basic components of executive functioning: inhibition, updating, and mental shifting. Monitoring performance was…

Sanders, Nicholas M.; Tzeng, Ovid J. L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1973
Study failed to yield evidence that performance in a systematic-concept task can be significantly facilitated, in comparison with rote-task performance, if more time is allowed for the operation of what Metzger has called systematic concept formation. (Authors)

Peer reviewedHunt, Earl; MacLeod, Colin M. – Intelligence, 1978
The contrasting approaches of differential psychology and cognitive psychology to the same individual differences data are outlined. Using data from the Clark and Chase sentence-picture verification task, four loci of conflict between these two disciplines are identified: (1) theory versus measurement; (2) meaningfulness versus reliability; (3)…

Children who recognize a compensatory relationship between height-width dimensions are more susceptible to conservation training than children who do not recognize this relationship. (Authors)

Peer reviewedKail, Robert – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1992
Maintains that most of the claims made by Morrison, Morrison, and Keating do not undermine the data analysis and conclusion of a study reported in a 1988 paper. Discusses (1) evidence concerning a common rate of developmental change; (2) functions that characterize developmental stages; and (3) procedures for estimating parameters. (LB)

Peer reviewedForsyth, G. Alfred – Teaching of Psychology, 1977
Discussed is a study which measured the importance of considering differing student abilities to deal with cognitive ability task factors when developing research methodology and statistics courses in psychology. Topics discussed are data on which the study was based, testing procedure, testing instrument, results, and major findings. (Author/DB)

Peer reviewedChapman, Loden J.; And Others – Developmental Review, 1994
Argues that individual and group differences in priming performance scores are heavily influenced by overall speed and accuracy, and thus are a flawed reflection of internal activation of semantic priming. Suggests that meaningful comparison of groups on the activation underlying priming difference scores requires removing the effects of overall…

Peer reviewedMorrison, G. Rolfe; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1992
An error in the data analysis for a study reported in a 1988 paper by Kail is cited. The paper postulated a model that explained individual differences in the speed of processing on cognitive tasks. Reanalysis of the data suggested that support for the original conclusions is considerably weaker than reported. (LB)

This study was designed to measure adult performance as related to age. Using methodology derived from information theory, information processing ability was measured with the individuals performing as a communication system. Fifty-five school teachers, ranging in age from 20 to 66, served as subjects. In four groups, the subjects judged the sizes…

Fogliatto, Hermelinda M. – 1963
In this research on individual differences in thought processes, the primary interest was to study the process followed by the subject in order to reach the solution of the problem. For this purpose, the performance of 38 experimental subjects was studied throughout 24 problems of the training sessions. The methods used were group norms, length of…
