Azevedo, Bruno de; Oliveira, Davi Alves; Finger, Ingrid; Tomitch, Lêda Maria Braga – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2022
The ubiquity of multitasking has led researchers to investigate its potential costs for reading and learning (Clinton-Lisell, 2021). While some studies have not shown detrimental effects of multitasking for reading comprehension (Bowman et al., 2010; Cho et al., 2015; Pashler et al., 2013), one particular study has found a benefit of multitasking…

Costa Ferreira, Jullyane Glaicy da; Ferrari-Neto, José – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2021
The aim of the present work was to investigate the processing of coreferential relations, focusing on their relationship with the working memory. In a reading process, it is essential that readers continuously perform mental operations that involve the working memory, such as storing, retrieving, and manipulating information. For this reason, it…

de Morais, Felipe; Jaques, Patricia A. – Informatics in Education, 2022
Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) for Math still use traditional data input methods: computers' keyboard and mouse. However, students usually solve math tasks using paper and pen. Therefore, the gap between the manner the students work and the requirements imposed by these typing-based systems expose students to an extraneous cognitive load,…
