Branyan, Helen; Cooper, Elisheva; Shaki, Samuel; McCrink, Koleen – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
During the preschool years, children are simultaneously undergoing a reshaping of their mental number line and becoming increasingly sensitive to the social norms expressed by those around them. In the current study, 4- and 5-year-old American and Israeli children were given a task in which an experimenter laid out chips with numbers (1-5),…

Peper, Phil; Alakbarova, Durna; Ball, B. Hunter – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Prospective memory (PM) refers to the ability to remember to complete a task at the appropriate moment in the future. Past research has found reminders can improve PM performance in both laboratory and naturalistic settings, but few projects have examined the circumstances when and what types of reminders are most beneficial. Three experiments in…

Souza, Cristiane; Garrido, Margarida V.; Horchak, Oleksandr V.; Barahona-Correa, J. Bernardo; Carmo, Joana C. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
This study examines declarative memory retrieval in ASD depending on the availability and access to stored conceptual knowledge. Fifteen autistic participants and a matched control group of 18 typically-developed (TD) volunteers completed a Remember-Know paradigm manipulated by encoding-type (categorical, perceptual) and item-typicality…

Chandler, Kayla; Adu-Gyamfi, Kwaku; Preston, Ron – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
In this article, the authors provide some insight into how teachers can potentially facilitate among students' representations and activities on mathematical tasks: between or among -- (1) student representations and the context; (2) multiple forms of student representations; and (3) processes in student representations. The authors use the…

Thorson, Jill C.; Franklin, Lauren R.; Morgan, James L. – Language Learning and Development, 2023
This study examined how toddler looking to a discourse referent is mediated by the information status of the referent and the pitch contour of the referring expression. Eighteen-month-olds saw a short discourse of three sets of images with the proportion of looking time to a target analyzed during the final image. At test, the information status…

Casey L. Roark; Bharath Chandrasekaran – npj Science of Learning, 2023
The ability to organize variable sensory signals into discrete categories is a fundamental process in human cognition thought to underlie many real-world learning problems. Decades of research suggests that two learning systems may support category learning and that categories with different distributional structures (rule-based,…

Frick, Aurélien; Brandimonte, Maria A.; Chevalier, Nicolas – Developmental Science, 2022
Gaining autonomy is a key aspect of growing up and cognitive control development across childhood. However, little is known about how children engage cognitive control in an autonomous (or self-directed) fashion. Here, we propose that in order to successfully engage self-directed control, children identify, and achieve goals by tracking contextual…

Hart, Chelsie M.; Mills, Caitlin; Thiemann, Raela F.; Andrews-Hanna, Jessica R.; Tomfohr-Madsen, Lianne; Kam, Julia W. Y. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Task-unrelated thoughts (TUTs) are frequent distractions from our everyday tasks, which can reduce productivity and safety during task performance. This necessitates the examination of factors that modulate TUT occurrence in daily life. One factor that has previously been implicated as a source of TUT is personally salient concerns. External…

Yeari, Menahem; Schlesinger, Liran Markel; Moshka, Ella – Reading Research Quarterly, 2022
The present study examined the processing and performance of examinees in reading comprehension (RC) tests, when they read the whole text "prior" to its questions ("text-first" strategy [TFs]) compared to reading the text "while" and "for" answering the questions ("questions-first" strategy [QFs]).…

Estudillo, Alejandro J.; Wong, Hoo Keat – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Although the positive effects of congruency between stimuli are well replicated in face memory paradigms, mixed findings have been found in face matching. Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, face masks are now very common during daily life outdoor activities. Thus, the present study aims to further explore congruency effects in matching faces…

Ceh, Simon Majed; Edelmann, Carina; Hofer, Gabriela; Benedek, Mathias – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2022
Creativity research crucially relies on creativity evaluations by external raters, but it is not clear what properties characterize good raters. In the present study, we investigated whether rater personality and rater creativity are related to discernment (i.e., the ability to distinguish creative from uncreative responses) when evaluating…

Perfors, Andrew; Kidd, Evan – Cognitive Science, 2022
Humans have the ability to learn surprisingly complicated statistical information in a variety of modalities and situations, often based on relatively little input. These statistical learning (SL) skills appear to underlie many kinds of learning, but despite their ubiquity, we still do not fully understand precisely what SL is and what individual…

Garcia-Marques, Teresa; Oliveira, Manuel; Nunes, Ludmila – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Previous research has mostly approached face recognition and target identification by focusing on face perception mechanisms, but memory mechanisms also appear to play a role. Here, we examined how the presence of a mask interferes with the memory mechanisms involved in face recognition, focusing on the dynamic interplay between encoding and…

Leikin, Roza; Elgrably, Haim – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
One of the well-known approaches to creativity differentiates between creative person, process, product, and press. In the study presented in this paper we focus on creative process and product associated with Problem Posing through Investigation (PPI) by experts in mathematical problem solving. We link the creative process to creativity of PPI…

Johnson, Heather Lynn – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2022
It is well known that students benefit from opportunities to interpret and create different representations (e.g., diagrams, graphs, tables, symbols) of mathematical ideas. Employing Marton's Variation theory as a lens, I argue for an expansion of the use of multiple representations in task design for graphs: Incorporate two different forms of the…
