Lauren C. Pagano; Riley E. George; David H. Uttal; Catherine A. Haden – Child Development, 2024
This study addressed whether combining tinkering with digital storytelling (i.e., narrating and reflecting about experiences to an imagined audience) can engender engineering learning opportunities. Eighty-four families with 5- to 10-year-old (M = 7.69) children (48% female children; 57% White, 11% Asian, 6% Black) watched a video introducing a…

Background: The working memory (WM) system is recognized as a crucial cognitive function that underpins the acquisition of new knowledge and the development of foundational skills during childhood. Children's early literacy and numeracy skills lay the foundation for future academic success in reading and mathematics. While previous research has…

Vanessa R. Cerda; Nicole Y. Wicha – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2024
In 2020, 21.5% of US preschoolers spoke a language other than English at home. These children transition into English-speaking classrooms in different ways, often handling foundational concepts in two languages. Critically, some knowledge may be dependent on the language of learning. For instance, both bilingual children and adults typically…

Meysam Muhammadpour; Amir Mahdavi Zafarghandi; Abdorreza Tahriri – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
EFL listening comprehension has been a stark challenge for language learners, but little is known about the combined effect of individual differences, such as working memory capacity, and metacognitive intervention. Thus, the present experimental study investigates the effect of metacognitive intervention on the listening performance and…

Lisa Farley; Julie Garlen; Sandra Chang-Kredl; Debbie Sonu – Pedagogy, Culture and Society, 2024
This article examines how participants enrolled in teacher education and childhood studies courses represented their understandings of childhood through a selection of artefacts discussed in focus groups at four sites: Montréal, New York City, Ottawa, and Toronto. To situate our inquiry, we theorise nostalgia in relationship to the construction of…

Jeffrey Adam Webb; Andrew G. Karatjas – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2024
Past studies have explored student self-perception within chemistry courses. Various factors have been explored including course level, student academic background, and gender. However, it appears that there are few (if any) studies that have looked at whether students are aware of how they have performed previously in the course. Through a study…

Norbert Vanek; Haoruo Zhang – Language Learning, 2024
Event segmentation tests have shown substantial overlaps in how adults recognize starts and endpoints as events unfold. However, far less is known about what role different language systems play in the process. Variations in grammatical aspect have been shown to influence event processing. We tested how closely first language (L1) speakers of…

Iryna Schommartz; Angela M. Kaindl; Claudia Buss; Yee Lee Shing – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Childhood is a period when memory consolidation and knowledge base undergo rapid changes. The present study examined short-delay (overnight) and long-delay (after a 2-week period) consolidation of new information either congruent or incongruent with prior knowledge in typically developing 6- to 8-year-old children (n = 32), 9- to 11-year-old…

Tiffany L Hutchins; Sophie E. Knox; E. Cheryl Fletcher – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2024
Background and Aim: Recently, there has been a lot of interest surrounding the term gestalt language processor (GLP) which is associated with Natural Language Acquisition (NLA): a protocol intended to support the language development of autistic people. In NLA, delayed echolalia is presumed raw source material that GLPs use to acquire language in…

William P. Montgomery – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Increasingly, educators seek to teach and assess historical thinking. In the post-secondary environment, historical thinking skills are typically taught alongside historical fact, however there is a paucity of research on the relationship between historical thinking skills and knowledge of historical fact. The purpose of this study was to…

Milvia Cottini; Paola Palladino; Demis Basso – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Background: Laboratory-based studies have shown that children's ability to remember intentions (i.e., prospective memory; PM) can be improved by asking them to imagine performing the PM task beforehand (i.e., episodic future thinking; EFT) or to predict their PM performance. Moreover, combining the two strategies resulted in an additional…

Hamid R. Hamidnia; Hamed Habibzadeh; Zohreh Gharaei – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
The present study investigated the effect of verbal working memory capacity (VWMC) on the processing of semantic information during on-line lexical ambiguity resolution of bilinguals. Seventeen Persian-English subordinate bilinguals of similar proficiency level were recruited to perform two experimental tasks: (1) a multi-load-level reading span…

Karen Lê; Carl Coelho; Richard Feinn – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Little is known about the relationship between discourse comprehension and production in traumatic brain injury (TBI), especially for spoken language. This study examined to what extent narrative discourse comprehension accounts for narrative discourse production outcomes (story grammar, story completeness). A secondary aim was to…

Prerika R. Sharma; Emily R. Spearing; Kimberley A. Wade; Laura Jobson – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2024
Accuracy of memory is critical in legal and clinical contexts. These contexts are often linked with high levels of emotional distress and social sources that can provide potentially distorting information about stressful events. This study investigated how distress was associated with susceptibility to misinformation about a trauma analogue event.…

Chen Kuang; Xiaoxiang Chen; Fei Chen – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
Age, babble noise, and working memory have been found to affect the recognition of emotional prosody based on non-tonal languages, yet little is known about how exactly they influence tone-language-speaking children's recognition of emotional prosody. In virtue of the tectonic theory of Stroop effects and the Ease of Language Understanding (ELU)…
