Erik S. Godinez; Denys Brand; Caio F. Miguel; Becky Penrod – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2024
Although feedback is a widely used intervention for improving performance, it is unclear what characteristics individuals prefer and what is necessary for it to be effective. The purpose of this study was to systematically extend Simonian and Brand (2022) by addressing the limitations of the study and adding a best-treatment phase. During an…

Yoppy Wahyu Purnomo; Antika Asri Julaikah; Galuh Candra Aprilia Hapsari; Rina Cahyani Oktavia; Rizki Muhammad Ikhsan – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
Textbooks are one of the main resources for teaching and learning mathematics. This study examines the presentation of angle topics in 4th-grade mathematics textbooks in Indonesia and Singapore. The analysis focused on the general characteristics of the textbook and the nature of the mathematical tasks presented. The results showed that Indonesian…

Souza, Cristiane; Garrido, Margarida V.; Horchak, Oleksandr V.; Barahona-Correa, J. Bernardo; Carmo, Joana C. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
This study examines declarative memory retrieval in ASD depending on the availability and access to stored conceptual knowledge. Fifteen autistic participants and a matched control group of 18 typically-developed (TD) volunteers completed a Remember-Know paradigm manipulated by encoding-type (categorical, perceptual) and item-typicality…

Phillip Hamrick; Christopher A. Was; Yin Zhang – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2024
A growing body of evidence demonstrates that individual differences in declarative memory may be an important predictor of second language (L2) abilities. However, the evidence comes from studies using different declarative memory tasks that vary in their reliance on verbal abilities and task demands, which preclude estimating the size of the…

Zheng, Yinyuan; Matlen, Bryan; Gentner, Dedre – Cognitive Science, 2022
Visual comparison is a key process in everyday learning and reasoning. Recent research has discovered the spatial alignment principle, based on the broader framework of structure-mapping theory in comparison. According to the spatial alignment principle, visual comparison is more efficient when the figures being compared are arranged in…

Aakriti Kumar; Aaron S. Benjamin; Andrew Heathcote; Mark Steyvers – npj Science of Learning, 2022
Practice in real-world settings exhibits many idiosyncrasies of scheduling and duration that can only be roughly approximated by laboratory research. Here we investigate 39,157 individuals' performance on two cognitive games on the Lumosity platform over a span of 5 years. The large-scale nature of the data allows us to observe highly varied…

Raynetta K. Wiggins – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Through instructional tasks, teachers can present content in ways that require students to apply critical thinking, problem-solving, and other cognitive skills. The purpose of this mixed methods collective case study was to determine how teacher-assigned instructional tasks in mathematics impact students' learning of mathematical concepts. In this…

Trott, Sean; Jones, Cameron; Chang, Tyler; Michaelov, James; Bergen, Benjamin – Cognitive Science, 2023
Humans can attribute beliefs to others. However, it is unknown to what extent this ability results from an innate biological endowment or from experience accrued through child development, particularly exposure to language describing others' mental states. We test the viability of the language exposure hypothesis by assessing whether models…

Ma, Boxuan; Hettiarachchi, Gayan Prasad; Fukui, Sora; Ando, Yuji – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
Vocabulary proficiency diagnosis plays an important role in the field of language learning, which aims to identify the level of vocabulary knowledge of a learner through his or her learning process periodically, and can be used to provide personalized materials and feedback in language-learning applications. Traditional approaches are widely…

Helena S. Belío-Apaolaza; Natividad Hernández Muñoz – Language Teaching Research, 2024
The acquisition of communicative competence in second and foreign languages requires the incorporation of verbal and non-verbal elements. Notwithstanding, few studies have performed empirical research into the acquisition of non-verbal signs. This research studies the learning of emblematic gestures for students of Spanish in the USA using an…

Erdem Onan; Felicitas Biwer; Roman Abel; Wisnu Wiradhany; Anique de Bruin – npj Science of Learning, 2024
During category learning, students struggle to create an optimal study order: They often study one category at a time (i.e., blocked practice) instead of alternating between different categories (i.e., interleaved practice). Several interventions to improve self-study of categorical learning have been proposed, but these interventions have only…

Pauen, Sabina; Peykarjou, Stefanie – Developmental Psychology, 2023
This study explores how 7-month-old infants categorize graphical images varying in basic perceptual features by using a fast periodic visual stimulation (FPVS) task. Most participants were Caucasian and their parents had a higher education, but the family's socioeconomic background was mixed. Experiment 1 (N = 23) tested brain responses to…

Xiuyu Lin; Zehui Zhan; Xuebo Zhang; Jiayi Xiong – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
The attribution of learning success or failure is crucial for students' learning and motivation. Effective attribution of their learning success or failure in the context of a small private online course (SPOC) could generate students' motivation toward learning success while an incorrect attribution would lead to a sense of helplessness. Based on…

Martin Merkt; Daniel Bodemer – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: When watching educational online videos, learners need to determine whether the videos' contents are suitable for learning. Whereas this may induce metacognitive monitoring processes, it may also distract learners from the learning materials. Objectives: In the current set of experiments, we investigated whether asking participants to…

Ma, Weiyi; Luo, Rufan; Golinkoff, Roberta; Hirsh-Pasek, Kathy – Language Learning and Development, 2023
Verbs serve as the architectural centerpiece of sentences, making verb learning pivotal for language acquisition. Verb learning requires both the formation of a verb-action mapping and the abstraction of relations between an object and its action. Two competing positions have been proposed to explain the process of verb learning: (a) seeing a…
