During associative retrieval, the brain reinstates neural representations that were present during encoding. The human medial temporal lobe (MTL), with its subregions hippocampus (HC), perirhinal cortex (PRC), and parahippocampal cortex (PHC), plays a central role in neural reinstatement. Previous studies have given compelling evidence for…

The rapid expansion of technology and the internet has changed how we access and interact with information as a society. Amid this phenomenon, people of all ages and backgrounds struggle to evaluate the credibility of information they encounter online, including teachers. In order to ensure that the next generation of K-12 students are digitally…

This study aims to explore the notion of the density of the set of rational numbers in the set of real numbers, as interpreted by undergraduate mathematics students. The data comprise 95 responses to a scripting task, in which participants were asked to extend a hypothetical dialog between two student characters, who argue about the existence of…

In this position paper, we propose commognition for the study of proof teaching at university lectures through an integrative literature review. We critically examine studies that focused on proof teaching but did not use the commognitive framework. Through this examination, we gain an understanding of the pedagogical aspects of proof teaching and…

It's assumed that university students' negative expectations for the future, combined with their prevalent resort to cognitive distortions, will heighten their anxiety regarding the profession. In this context, this study attempts to uncover the mediating role of cognitive distortions regarding the effects of negative expectations for the future…

A student's interest level can strongly affect the learning process, and thus, can be considered an important factor in the effort to improve learning. Presently, student interest is primarily assessed by administering questionnaires or conducting case analyses. However, this method cannot provide timely feedback in the learning environment to…

This study aimed to reveal the effects of secondary school students' cognitive absorption levels on their digital literacy. In line with this purpose, the correlational method was used in the study. The study group of the research consisted of 455 secondary school students. The data were collected from students studying in different state schools…

Textbooks play a significant role in education around the world. Although several studies have reported that textbook-led teaching and learning suggests a teacher-centred content approach, textbook use is prevalent in the teaching and learning culture of Bangladesh. The redeveloped primary science textbooks of Bangladesh now promote the teaching…

Adaptive learning is provided in intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) to enable learners with varying abilities to meet their expected learning outcomes. Despite the personalized learning afforded by ITSes using adaptive learning, learners are still susceptible to shallow learning. Introducing metacognitive tutoring to teach learners how to be aware…

Children's abilities to regulate their behaviors are critical for learning and development, yet researchers lack an objective, precise method for assessing children's behavioral regulation in their everyday environments such as their classrooms. This study tested a sensor-based approach to assess preschool children's behavioral regulation…

Students come to their high school physics classroom with experiences and knowledge that can be used to help explain physics concepts, but those experiences may not fully align with the scientifically accepted science concept. When there is a misalignment between a student's prior knowledge and the scientifically accepted concept a misconception…

It is widely assumed within developmental psychology that spontaneously-arising conceptualizations of natural number--those that develop without explicit mathematics instruction--match the formal characterization of natural number given in the Dedekind-Peano Axioms (e.g., Carey, 2004; Leslie et al., 2008; Rips et al., 2008). Specifically,…

College students are asked to make critical decisions about which academic major to choose and subsequently to make specific career decisions. Students come to college with a myriad of different skill sets, backgrounds, developmental levels, cognitive processes, familial support, and levels of self-efficacy that may influence how they make these…

In today's complex workplace, organizations have implemented mentoring programs to serve the needs of employees by providing career development and personal support. Mentoring relationships provide a variety of vocational, psychosocial and role modeling functions to proteges. Previous educational psychology research has examined the role of…

The purpose of this qualitative grounded theory study was to describe and explain children's thinking present in multiple related contexts surrounding a single Earth Space disciplinary core idea in order to provide insight on whether and how children's everyday thinking forms the basis for learning in science classrooms. As most previous work on…
