Knowledge tracing (KT) for evaluating students' knowledge is an essential task in personalized education. More and more researchers have devoted themselves to solving KT tasks, e.g., deep knowledge tracing (DKT), which can capture more sophisticated representations of student knowledge. Nonetheless, these techniques ignore the reconstruction of…

Attributional processes about why outcomes occur constitute an important mediating mechanism that can explain different reactions of both the targets of harassment and their peers. The present study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of a measure of attributions for victimization among adolescents, using Confirmatory Factor Analyses,…

People often rely on the covariation between events to infer causality. However, covariation between cues and outcomes may change over time. In the associative learning literature, extinction provides a model to study updating of causal beliefs when a previously established relationship no longer holds. Prediction error theories can explain both…

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of musical genres preferred by university students on respect for differences. The study data was collected from 1082 students attending various faculties of one of the universities in western black sea region in Turkey. The Information Form compiled by the researcher and the "Respect for…

Recent academic motivation research has shifted towards understanding the situation-specific and process-sensitive nature of motivation. This shift has initiated discussions on methodological advancements to capture dynamic changes in motivation as they occur in authentic learning contexts. However, these studies have not been systematically…

Causal inference is a fundamental goal of many research endeavors, including scholarship in the field of language education and learning. Randomized controlled trials are considered an ideal design to test causal claims, but not all claims can be subjected to experimental treatment due to ethical and practical constraints. In this article, we…

The prevalence of anti-fat attitudes among kinesiology professionals is concerning because research shows that being subjected to anti-fat attitudes is associated with negative health outcomes and physical activity avoidance. Although anti-fat attitude reduction interventions exist, interventions that teach attribution retraining as a behavior…

This study examined undergraduate students' perceptions of factors contributing to their academic failure at a public university in Afghanistan, utilising attribution theory as the analytical framework. Data were collected from 215 students majoring in various fields. Descriptive and inferential statistics, specifically Mann-Whitney U test and…

Stimulus-response binding and retrieval (SRBR) is a fundamental mechanism driving behavior automatization. In five experiments, we investigated the modulatory role of affective consequences (AC) on SRBR effects to test whether binding/retrieval can explain instrumental learning (i.e., the "law of effect"). SRBR effects were assessed in a…

Children often say that strange and improbable events, like eating pickle-flavored ice cream, are impossible. Two experiments explored whether these beliefs are explained by limits in children's causal knowledge. Participants were 423 predominantly White Canadian 4- to 7-year-olds (44% female) tested in 2020-2021. Providing children with causal…

Drawing on Bourdieu's work, this article outlines the notions of cultural pluriformity and intersectional interculturality. The concept of cultural pluriformity refers to the co-occurrence of different (inter)cultural resources within the same individual or field. The notion of intersectional interculturality highlights the importance of…

Following high school exit, many autistic young adults are not enrolled in post-secondary education or employed, and few are engaged in community activities. This disengagement among autistic young adults may be a result of the limited or inadequate supports provided to autistic transition-age youth in schools. Therefore, the purpose of the…

Hostile Attribution Bias (HAB) is the tendency to perceive ambiguous social information as threatening. The social information processing (SIP) model provides a theoretical framework for determining how individuals with HAB perceive, interpret, and make decisions regarding social cues. Although previous work has mapped the association between HAB…

Intervention studies focused on improving reading outcomes are scarce for postsecondary students with disabilities. Historically, comprehensive transition and postsecondary education programs (CTPs) for students with disabilities focused on employment, living, personal, and social skills over academic instruction. Recently, there is an emphasis to…

There is a wide debate on the convenience of grade retention for students' future cognitive development. Nevertheless, due to the endogenous characteristics of grade retention to explain students' academic performance, most of the literature fails in capturing its actual influence. In the present research, we intend to get as close as possible to…
