The 3 papers by Hammond and Drummond (2019), LoBue and Adolph (2019), and Stern, Botdorf, Cassidy, and Riggins (2019) bring into focus some of the exciting and promising new directions emerging in the field of emotional development. This commentary urges researchers moving in these new directions to leverage what is already known about emotional…

Life span developmental theories suggest that as individuals age, they accumulate knowledge about how to deploy emotion regulation (ER) strategies effectively and learn how to match their ER strategy use with changes in situational demands. Using an event-contingent experience sampling design wherein 150 adults Age 18 to 89 years reported on…

When educators develop and introduce new learning approaches or resources, they usually have specific didactic goals in mind that they want to achieve. However, these goals may not always match the needs of their students, who often confound such plans by finding new and different uses for the educational tools that are offered to them.…

Agile development methods have been proposed as a natural fit for mobile app development contexts. Despite many studies addressing the adoption of agile methods for traditional web and desktop applications, there is a lack of studies of how mobile app development teams can adopt agile methods and the challenges they are facing. Our study explores…

Video games have the potential to educate and engage people--especially young people--in climate change and energy issues by facilitating the development of helpful thoughts, feelings, and actions. The objective of the present article is to propose a set of game attributes that could maximise the cognitive, emotional, and behavioural engagement of…

Cell phones have long been known as a potential distraction from attention intensive activities such as studying and driving. Many, however, are developing the cell phone as a powerful tool to augment some of these same activities. Audience response systems (ARSs) are a type of teaching tool that allows educators to poll audience members in real…

Item response theory (IRT) is a statistical paradigm for developing educational tests and assessing students. IRT, however, currently lacks an established graphical method for examining model fit for the three-parameter logistic model, the most flexible and popular IRT model in educational testing. A method is presented here to do this. The graph,…

Student response systems (SRSs) are widely used in anatomy and physiology courses as a form of active learning. While traditional SRSs (clickers) are pervasive, gamified SRSs such as Kahoot! are becoming increasingly popular. However, the impact of using both types of systems in the same course is unknown. The goal of this study was to determine…

Students' emotional intelligence represents an important variable that is connected to students' academic achievement and life success. One main challenge when measuring students' emotional intelligence is to have a valid and reliable measure that captures this emotional construct. The current study aims to investigate the psychometric properties…

Management educators understand the importance of providing feedback to students, but are they capable of providing effective feedback? Several laboratory and classroom studies have examined different types of feedback and their effectiveness, but we recommend examining normative feedback practices among instructors. This article presents a brief…

Self-regulated learning (SRL) is crucial for the development of gifted students' cognitive potential and their well-being. Research on SRL in giftedness is limited but shows that interventions on strategy use can benefit both high and low achieving gifted students. However, following the Metacognitive and Affective model of SRL (MASRL),…

Purpose: This study aimed to test whether (and how) somatosensory feedback signals from the vocal tract affect concurrent unimodal visual speech perception. Method: Participants discriminated pairs of silent visual utterances of vowels under 3 experimental conditions: (a) normal (baseline) and while holding either (b) a bite block or (c) a lip…
