Rutherford-Hemming, Tonya – Adult Learning, 2012
Simulation is often used in nursing education as a teaching methodology. Simulation is rooted in adult learning theory. Three learning theories, cognitive, social, and constructivist, explain how learners gain knowledge with simulation experiences. This article takes an in-depth look at each of these three theories as each relates to simulation.…

Louca, Loucas T.; Zacharia, Zacharias C. – Educational Review, 2012
Models and modeling are considered integral parts of scientific literacy, reflecting educators' efforts to introduce and engage students in authentic scientific inquiry through Modeling-based Learning (MbL) approaches in science. Over the years research has developed a considerable amount of knowledge concerning MbL. Our purpose in this paper was…

Martin, Stewart – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2012
This article reports a quasi-experimental study on the effects of multimedia teaching and learning in English Literature--a subject which places high cognitive load on students. A large-scale study was conducted in 4 high-achieving secondary schools to examine the differences made to students' learning and performance by the use of multimedia and…

Moyer-Packenham, Patricia S.; Westenskow, Arla – School Science and Mathematics, 2012
Intense focus on student achievement results in mathematics and science has brought about claims that K-12 teachers should be better prepared to teach basic concepts in these disciplines. The focus on teachers' mathematics and science content knowledge has been met by efforts to increase teacher knowledge through funded national initiatives…

Benner, Gregory J.; Ralston, Nicole C.; Feuerborn, Laura – Preventing School Failure, 2012
Processing speed plays an important role in numerous facets of life functioning. Language, academic achievement, and behavior are all associated with processing speed; however, researchers have yet to investigate the effect of interventions, particularly language-based interventions, on the processing speed and the behavioral functioning of…

Bryant, Judith B.; Darkes, Jack; Rahal, Collin – Journal of American College Health, 2012
Objective: This study investigates college students' behaviors in response to the calories ingested by drinking alcohol. Participants and Methods: A sample of 274 nonclinical undergraduate alcohol drinkers completed an online survey asking about behaviors that students employed to make up for calories in alcohol or to get drunk more effectively.…

Lynch, Sharon A.; Warner, Laverne – Childhood Education, 2012
Defining intelligence is a puzzle that has challenged educators and researchers for years. More recently, professionals are acknowledging that individuals possess many facets of intelligence and that learning is a complex combination of genetic factors, environmental influences, and life experiences that affect learning in unique ways (Salvia,…

Feldon, David; Stowe, Kirk – Technology, Instruction, Cognition and Learning, 2009
Experts are frequently called upon to serve as instructors in their disciplines. However, studies indicate that their unaided explanations contain significant inaccuracies and omissions that negatively impact the effectiveness of instruction. Cognitive task analysis (CTA) is an effective tool for eliciting, analyzing, and representing expert…

Tilsen, Samuel Edward – ProQuest LLC, 2009
Hierarchy is one of the most important concepts in the scientific study of language. This dissertation aims to understand why we observe hierarchical structures in speech by investigating the cognitive processes from which they emerge. To that end, the dissertation explores how articulatory, rhythmic, and prosodic patterns of speech interact.…

Rudoy, John D.; Weintraub, Sandra; Paller, Ken A. – Neuropsychologia, 2009
Determining whether patients with amnesia can succeed in remembering their distant past has pivotal implications for theories of memory storage. However, various factors influence recall. We speculated that some patients with anterograde amnesia adopt a gist-based retrieval orientation for memories from all time periods, thereby exaggerating…

Weinstein, Matthew; Broda, Matthew – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2009
In this response to Reis's and Zuss's responses to our meditation on the grotesque, we attempt to draw distinctions between positivist, empiricist, and realist (including grotesque realist) projects. We also, drawing on Bakhtin, consider the difference between dialogic and dialectic commentary.

Heisz, Jennifer J.; Shedden, Judith M. – Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2009
Face processing changes when a face is learned with personally relevant information. In a five-day learning paradigm, faces were presented with rich semantic stories that conveyed personal information about the faces. Event-related potentials were recorded before and after learning during a passive viewing task. When faces were novel, we observed…

Weiss, Peter H.; Kalckert, Andreas; Fink, Gereon R. – Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2009
In synesthesia, stimulation of one sensory modality leads to a percept in another nonstimulated modality, for example, graphemes trigger an additional color percept in grapheme-color synesthesia, which encompasses the variants letter-color and digit-color synesthesia. Until recently, it was assumed that synesthesia occurs strictly unidirectional:…

Mager, Ralph; Meuth, Sven G.; Krauchi, Kurt; Schmidlin, Maria; Muller-Spahn, Franz; Falkenstein, Michael – Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2009
Conflict-related cognitive processes are critical for adapting to sudden environmental changes that confront the individual with inconsistent or ambiguous information. Thus, these processes play a crucial role to cope with daily life. Generally, conflicts tend to accumulate especially in complex and threatening situations. Therefore, the question…

Kohn, Nicholas; Smith, Steven M. – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2009
Incubation has long been proposed as a mechanism in creative problem solving (Wallas, 1926). A new trial-by-trial method for observing incubation effects was used to compare the forgetting fixation hypothesis with the conscious work hypothesis. Two experiments examined the effects of incubation on initially unsolved Remote Associates Test (RAT)…
