Roslyn Wong; Aaron Veldre; Sally Andrews – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Evidence of processing costs for unexpected words presented in place of a more expected completion remains elusive in the eye-movement literature. The current study investigated whether such prediction error costs depend on the source of constraint violation provided by the prior context. Participants' eye movements were recorded as they read…

Jeffrey Ehme – PRIMUS, 2024
The Miller-Rabin test is a useful probabilistic method for finding large primes. In this paper, we explain the method in detail and give three variations on this test. These variations were originally developed as student projects to supplement a course in error correcting codes and cryptography.

Inga Lück; Victor Mittelstädt; Ian G. Mackenzie; Rico Fischer – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Although humans often multitask, little is known about how the processing of concurrent tasks is managed. The present study investigated whether adjustments in parallel processing during multitasking are local (task-specific) or global (task-unspecific). In three experiments, participants performed one of three tasks: a primary task or, if this…

Gulin Yazici-Celebi; Muge Yilmaz; Muhammed Enes Karacoskun; Aybuke Irem Sahin – Journal of Education in Science, Environment and Health, 2024
Suicide, which is defined as an individual's intentionally attempting to end his or her life, is considered an important public health problem. In this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between cognitive distortions and suicide probability in university students who are in age groups at risk for suicide, and to examine the mediating…

Jenni Ingram – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2024
Understanding randomness is essential for modern life, as it underpins decisions under uncertainty. It is also an essential part of both the mathematics and science curricula in schools. Yet, research has shown that many people consider randomness difficult to perceive and argue about, with a number of different and contradictory views on the…

David Menendez; Olympia N. Mathiaparanam; Vienne Seitz; David Liu; Andrea Marquardt Donovan; Charles W. Kalish; Martha W. Alibali; Karl S. Rosengren – Grantee Submission, 2023
Do people think about genetic inheritance as a deterministic or probabilistic process? Do adults display systematic biases when reasoning about genetic inheritance? Knowing how adults think about genetic inheritance is valuable, both for understanding the developmental endpoint of these concepts and for identifying biases that persist even after…

Rajeeb Das; Erika Schmitt; Michael T. Stephenson – Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice, 2024
First-year seminars (FYS) comprise one of 11 researched interventions in postsecondary education known as High-Impact Practices, but few rigorous studies report significantly high impacts. This study examined a FYS employing propensity score matching to link cases and controls in a quasi-experimental design. One semester later cumulative grade…

Catherine Davies; Holly Ingram – Research Evaluation, 2025
As part of the shift towards a more equitable research culture, funders are reconsidering traditional approaches to peer review. In doing so, they seek to minimize bias towards certain research ideas and researcher profiles, to ensure greater inclusion of disadvantaged groups, to improve review quality, to reduce burden, and to enable more…

Bethzabe Cotrado; María Burgos; Pablo Beltrán-Pellicer; Alfredo Carlos Castro – REDIMAT - Journal of Research in Mathematics Education, 2025
In this article, we describe the implementation and results of a formative experience with prospective mathematics teachers, focused on developing the competence for didactic-mathematical analysis of curriculum materials, specifically student workbooks related to probability. The research design follows a methodological approach typical of…

Olerilwe Topo Mokokwe; Botlhe Eva Ntsinyane; Kennedy Amone-P'Olak – British Journal of Guidance & Counselling, 2024
Worldwide, childhood sexual abuse (CSA) is widespread with severe consequences. We assessed the influence of CSA on insecure attachment in 488 young women in Botswana with no history of CSA, a history of CSA without re-occurrence in adulthood, and a history of CSA with re-occurrence in adulthood. Binary logistic regression analyses were fitted to…

William D. Riihiluoma; Zeynep Topdemir; John R. Thompson – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
One expected outcome of physics instruction is for students to be capable of relating physical concepts to multiple mathematical representations. In quantum mechanics (QM), students are asked to work across multiple symbolic notations, including some they have not previously encountered. To investigate student understanding of the relationships…

Don, Hilary J.; Worthy, Darrell A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Recent work in reinforcement learning has demonstrated a choice preference for an option that has a lower probability of reward (A) when paired with an alternative option that has a higher probability of reward (C), if A has been experienced more frequently than C (the frequency effect). This finding is critical as it is inconsistent with…

Davide Malacrino; Samuel Nocito; Raffaele Saggio – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2024
This paper examines the impact of a reform aimed at expediting graduation times in Italian universities by reducing the number of exams students must pass to obtain a fixed number of credits. Using event-study estimates that leverage the reform's staggered implementation, we find that this policy change led to an increase in on-time graduation…

Yusuf, Mardiana; Rahim, Suzieleez Syrene Abdul; Eu, Leong Kwan – Malaysian Online Journal of Educational Sciences, 2022
Many challenges are identified when students solve mathematic problems especially in solving probability word problems. This study was conducted to identify the major challenges faced by matriculation college students while solving the probability of an event word problem. Seven matriculation college students were the sample for this case study.…

Renelle, Amy; Budgett, Stephanie; Jones, Rhys – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2022
This paper examines coin-toss comparison questions from two recent studies involving undergraduate students and high school teachers and connects to findings from two prior studies in the literature. Considering possible sample spaces employed by participants, this is a reflection on whether one sequence could be more likely depending on the…
