Grady, Justin N.; Cox, Patrick H.; Nag, Samoni; Mitroff, Stephen R. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Visual search--looking for targets among distractors--underlies many critical professions (e.g., radiology, aviation security) that demand optimal performance. As such, it is important to identify, understand, and ameliorate negative factors such as fatigue--mental and/or physical tiredness that leads to diminished function. One way to reduce the…

Touloumakos, Anna K.; Vlachou, Evangelia; Papadatou-Pastou, Marietta – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2023
The term learning styles (LS) describes the notion that individuals have a preferred modality of learning (i.e., vision, audition, or kinesthesis) and that matching instruction to this modality results in optimal learning. During the last decades, LS has received extensive criticism, yet they remain a virtual truism within education. One of the…

Kiefer, Markus; Harpaintner, Marcel; Rohr, Michaela; Wentura, Dirk – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Ratings of perceptual experience on a trial-by-trial basis are increasingly used in masked priming studies to assess prime awareness. It is argued that such subjective ratings more adequately capture the content of phenomenal consciousness compared to the standard objective psychophysical measures obtained in a session after the priming…

Gutierrez de Blume, Antonio P.; Montoya Londoño, Diana Marcela; Daset, Lilián; Cuadro, Ariel; Molina Delgado, Mauricio; Morán Núñez, Olivia; García de la Cadena, Claudia; Beltrán Navarro, María Beatríz; Arias Trejo, Natalia; Ramirez Balmaceda, Ana; Jiménez Rodríguez, Virginia; Puente Ferreras, Aníbal; Urquijo, Sebastián; Arias, Walter Lizandro; Rivera, Laura Inés; Schulmeyer, Marion; Rivera-Sanchez, Jesus – Metacognition and Learning, 2023
A deeper understanding of what factors influence metacognition has never become more pressing than in today's digital era, in which information flows constantly and quickly. To this end, the present study explored the role of culture in mediating how individuals experience metacognitive phenomena. For this purpose, the International Group on…

Allen, Lucy; Dowker, Ann – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2022
We examined the role of visuo-spatial working memory in different types of arithmetic ability in children. Previous research had suggested that arithmetic is not a single entity (Dowker, 2005, 2015), and also that visuo-spatial working memory is specifically involved in mathematical cognition (McKenzie et al., 2003) There has, however, been little…

López Pérez, David; Kennedy, Daniel P.; Tomalski, Przemyslaw; Bölte, Sven; D'Onofrio, Brian; Falck-Ytter, Terje – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is commonly conceived as the extreme end of a continuum. Research suggests that autistic individuals outperform typically developing controls in visual search. Thus, enhanced visual search may represent an adaptive trait associated with ASD. Here, using a large general population sample (N = 608, aged 9-14 years), we…

Andrés, María Laura; Canet-Juric, Lorena; García-Coni, Ana; Olsen, Cintia Daniela; Vernucci, Santiago; Galli, Juan Ignacio; Introzzi, Isabel; Richaud, María Cristina – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2022
The aim of this study was to analyze the moderating effect of distress tolerance (DT) on the relationship between executive functions and academic performance (AP). Participants were 270 children aged 9-12 years. Executive functions (EFs)--working memory (WM), inhibition, and cognitive flexibility--and DT were evaluated using computerized tasks.…

Smail Layes; Kamel Layes – Arab Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2023
The purpose of this follow-up study was to determine the specific contribution of phonological processing abilities, including phonological awareness (PA), rapid automatized naming (RAN) and verbal short-term memory (VSTM), as well as visual perception (VP), in word reading accuracy. A sample of 62 native Arabic speaking children from Grade 1…

Bialecka-Pikul, Marta; Bialek, Arkadiusz; Kosno, Magdalena; Stepien-Nycz, Malgorzata; Blukacz, Mateusz; Zubek, Julian – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2022
The current research aims at constructing a developmentally sensitive mindreading scale (i.e., a battery of tasks measuring different aspects of mindreading ability in children from 1 to 3.5 years of age). Over 300 Polish children were tested at six-month intervals with 48 different tasks designed to measure mindreading ability (for a total of six…

Liu, Catrina; Chung, Kevin Kien Hoa; Tang, Pui Man – Educational Psychology, 2022
This study investigated the unique contribution of orthographic awareness, letter knowledge, and patterning skills to early literacy and arithmetic competence. A total of 145 third-year kindergarten (K3) children (M[subscript age]: 73.43 months, SD = 5.36; 70 boys, 48%) from Hong Kong participated in this study. Children were assessed on their…

Bonifacci, Paola; Trambagioli, Nicole; Bernabini, Luca; Tobia, Valentina – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2022
The aim of the present study was to test environmental and cognitive variables as possible cross-domain predictors of early literacy and numeracy skills. One hundred forty-eight preschool children (mean age = 64.36 months ± 3.33) were enrolled in the study. The battery included a home literacy and home numeracy questionnaire, measures and…

Çakiroglu, Ünal; Güler, Mustafa; Atabay, Melek; Güler, Maside – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2020
This article reports on the influence of three modalities used in three versions of instructional software designed for different learning styles. Students having visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles are grouped and experimentally investigated through three different versions of the software. The results indicated that cognitive load…

Intaite, Monika; Georgescu, Alexandra L.; Noreika, Valdas; von Saldern, Marie A. O.; Vogeley, Kai; Falter-Wagner, Christine M. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2019
We examined the perception of an ambiguous squares stimulus evoking bistable perception in a sample of 31 individuals with autistic spectrum condition and 22 matched typical adults. The perception of the ambiguous figure was manipulated by adaptation to unambiguous figures and/or by placing the ambiguous figure into a context of unambiguous…

Lara Nieto-Márquez, Natalia; Baldominos, Alejandro; Pérez-Nieto, Miguel Ángel – Education Sciences, 2020
Metacognition is a construct that is noteworthy for its relationship with the prediction and enhancement of student performance. It is of interest in education, as well as in the field of cognitive psychology, because it contributes to competencies, such as learning to learn and the understanding of information. This study conducted research at a…
