Pathman, Thanujeni; Deker, Lina; Parmar, Puneet Kaur; Adkins, Mark Christopher; Polyn, Sean M. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2023
Free-recall paradigms have greatly influenced our understanding of memory. The majority of this research involves laboratory-based events (e.g., word lists) that are studied and tested within minutes. This literature shows that adults recall events in a temporally organized way, with successive responses often coming from neighboring list…

Girls and women face persistent negative stereotyping within STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics). This field intervention was designed to improve boys' perceptions of girls' STEM ability. Boys (N = 667; mostly White and East Asian) aged 9-15 years in Canadian STEM summer camps (2017-2019) had an intervention or control…

Interplay among Self-Regulation Processes Over Time for Adolescents in the Context of Chronic Stress
Amanda E. Halliburton; Desiree W. Murray; Ty A. Ridenour – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
Developmental changes in self-regulation are theorized to underlie adolescents' engagement in risky behaviors, physical health, mental health, and transition to adulthood. Two central processes involved in self-regulation, self-management (i.e. planning, concentration, and problem-solving) and disinhibition (e.g. distractibility and impulsivity)…

Archana Prasad; Pankaj Lal; Bernabas Wolde; Michelle Zhu; Bharat Kumar Samanthula; Nicole Panorkou – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2023
Nearly 80% of the total American population lives within the urban sprawl, where rapid urbanization has contributed to an immense reduction of green space. Loss of woods, fields, and other green areas, in conjunction with adolescent preference for indoor and screen-based activities, has led to decreased time spent outdoors. However, studies show…

The prevalence of mental health issues among youth, with nearly half meeting diagnostic criteria for a mental health disorder and suicide being a leading cause of death, underscores the urgency for effective intervention (National Institute of Mental Health, 2023). Summer camps, hosting millions of children annually, are urged by the American Camp…

Prochnow, Tyler; Patterson, Megan S.; Bridges Hamilton, Christina N.; Umstattd Meyer, M. Renée – Health Education & Behavior, 2022
Summer is a time of reduced physical activity (PA) for children; however, summer care programs (SCPs) can provide opportunities for children to be active and foster friendships. This study investigated associations between PA and friendship formation at SCPs. Children (ages 8-12 years) from two SCPs reported demographics, PA, and up to five…

Prasad, Archana; Lal, Pankaj; Wolde, Bernabas; Smith, Meghann; Zhu, Michelle; Samanthula, Bharath Kumar; Panorkou, Nicole – Applied Environmental Education and Communication, 2022
We explored the impact of a daytrip for children aged 10-13 (n = 40) to assess perception of nature. Those who perceived risk in nature were 11.25 times more likely to indicate disinterest in spending time outdoors. Those interested in spending time outdoors were 6.9 times more likely to think people should care more about the environment.…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of tonic drone accompaniment on the intonation of violinists and violists. Twenty-eight middle and high school students performed an ascending diatonic line and a descending dominant 7th arpeggio on the violin or viola in three trials: pretest, posttest accompanied with drone, and posttest…

Mesa, Michael P.; Roehrig, Alysia; Funari, Chelsea; Durtschi, Shawna; Ha, Cheyeon; Rawls, Erik; Davis, Cheron – Grantee Submission, 2021
A substantial amount of evidence suggests that students, particularly those from economically disadvantaged households, experience summer reading loss. Available evidence suggests this is due to a lack of participation in literacy-focused activities and access to books during the summer break from school. The current study investigated whether…

Borgerding, Lisa A.; Kaya, F. – International Journal of Science Education, 2019
The U.S. Next Generation Science Standards treat biological adaptation as a disciplinary core idea, but various science educators recommend its introduction at different ages. The concept of biological adaptation elicits children's reasoning about organisms, their environments, and the relationship between organisms and their environments. The…
