Previous research has examined cross-cultural influences on creative performance. Findings of this line of inquiry are, however, not consistent. While some scholars suggest that individuals from Western cultures, who tend to apply context-independent thinking styles, produce more novel ideas given a cognitive task than individuals from Eastern…

Panos Athanasopoulos; Rui Su – Language Learning, 2024
The temporal focus hypothesis (TFH) entails that individuals who value the past tend to conceptualize it in front, whereas individuals who value the future tend to map the future in front instead (de la Fuente et al., 2014). This varies as a function of culture, individual differences, and context. Here, we extend this line of inquiry by testing a…

Engaging in fluent conversation is a surprisingly complex task that requires interlocutors to promptly respond to each other in a way that is appropriate to the social context. In this study, we disentangled different dimensions of turn-taking by investigating how the dynamics of child-adult interactions changed according to the activity…

Miroslaw Pawlak – Foreign Language Annals, 2025
Although the distinction between explicit and implicit (automatized) knowledge of second or foreign language (L2) is of crucial importance to second language acquisition (SLA) theory and research, it has thus far not been directly applied to L2 pronunciation. The paper attempts to fill this gap by making an initial attempt to illustrate the…

Mo Zhang; Paul Deane; Andrew Hoang; Hongwen Guo; Chen Li – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2025
In this paper, we describe two empirical studies that demonstrate the application and modeling of keystroke logs in writing assessments. We illustrate two different approaches of modeling differences in writing processes: analysis of mean differences in handcrafted theory-driven features and use of large language models to identify stable personal…

Liva J. Martinussen; Anine Riege; Jasmin Richter; Eyvind Martol Briseid; Marianne Maugesten; Rolf Reber – Educational Psychology, 2025
This study examined the influence of word problems and individual differences on student teachers' situational interest. There is extensive research on word problems, but few studies have assessed the impact on situational interest, particularly for self-generated word problems. Using a within-subject design (N = 256), we investigated whether…

Holochwost, Steven J.; Winebrake, Deaven; Brown, Eleanor D.; Happaney, Keith R.; Wagner, Nicholas J.; Mills-Koonce, W. Roger – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
The predictive validity of performance on cognitive-behavioral measures of executive function (EF) suggests that these measures index children's underlying capacity for self-regulation. In this paper, we apply ecological systems theory to critically evaluate this assertion. We argue that as typically administered, standard measures of EF do not…

Takumi Kosaka – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
This study examines context effects on lexical processing by low-proficiency Japanese learners of English during sentence comprehension, and the role of individual differences in verbal working memory (WM). Thirty Japanese learners of English as a second language (L2) and 27 speakers of English as a first language (L1) were recruited for a…

Researchers across many fields have called for greater attention to heterogeneity of treatment effects--shifting focus from the average effect to variation in effects between different treatments, studies, or subgroups. True heterogeneity is important, but many reports of heterogeneity have proved to be false, non-replicable, or exaggerated. In…

Tracy L. Cross – Gifted Child Today, 2025
A list of 16 things the author believes about students with gifts and talents are described in this column. These beliefs stem from research that he and/or others have conducted or from his own personal experiences. In this column, he comments on each of these statements that he has come to believe are true.

Al-Nuaimi, Maryam N.; Al-Emran, Mostafa – Education and Information Technologies, 2021
Technology acceptance has become one of the dominant research trends in the domain of learning management systems (LMSs). While a plethora of several research studies conducted in this area, there is still a scarcity of knowledge concerning a holistic review and taxonomy of studies in this field. Thus, the main objective of this systematic review…

Schuetze, Brendan A.; Yan, Veronica X. – Cognitive Science, 2022
Learners are often constrained by their available study time, typically having to make a trade-off between depth and breadth of learning. Classic experimental paradigms in memory research treat all items as equally important, but this is unlikely the case in reality. Rather, information varies in importance, and people vary in their ability to…

Markus Kohlmeier – European Journal of Psychology and Educational Research, 2024
In this study I examine the academic self-concept (ASC) of students who changed from vocational to academic tracking at the transition to upper secondary education in Germany. I ask (1) how their ASC differs to the ASC of their established peers in academic tracking, and (2) how their ASC is affected by the change in the learning environment.…

Scholman, Merel C. J.; Demberg, Vera; Sanders, Ted J. M. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2020
The current study investigated how a contextual list signal influences comprehenders' inference generation of upcoming discourse relations and whether individual differences in working memory capacity and linguistic experience influence the generation of these inferences. Participants were asked to complete two-sentence stories, the first sentence…

Nagels, Leanne; Bastiaanse, Roelien; Baskent, Deniz; Wagner, Anita – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: The current study investigates how individual differences in cochlear implant (CI) users' sensitivity to word-nonword differences, reflecting lexical uncertainty, relate to their reliance on sentential context for lexical access in processing continuous speech. Method: Fifteen CI users and 14 normal-hearing (NH) controls participated in…
