Wenzel, Kristin; Schweppe, Judith; Rummer, Ralf – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
The present work was conducted to re-examine the findings of Agarwal et al. ("Applied Cognitive Psychology," 22(7), 861-876, 2008), which showed that both closed-book tests (with feedback) and open-book tests increased learning outcomes after 1 week compared to simple re-study of the same materials. However, contrary to often found…

Bell, Avril; Russell, Elizabeth – New Zealand Journal of Educational Studies, 2022
From 2022, New Zealand schools are teaching a new compulsory history curriculum that aims to teach diverse New Zealand histories, while foregrounding the centrality of Maori histories and the impacts of colonisation. The new curriculum will upend a long history of 'forgetting' the nation's contentious and conflictual past, and in particular the…

Shen, Xinxu; Ballard, Ian C.; Smith, David V.; Murty, Vishnu P. – Learning & Memory, 2022
Humans actively seek information to reduce uncertainty, providing insight on how our decisions causally affect the world. While we know that episodic memories can help support future goal-oriented behaviors, little is known about how hypothesis testing during exploration influences episodic memory. To investigate this question, we designed a…

Erginer, Ergin – Education Quarterly Reviews, 2022
If a learning disability is not defined, it can be said that primary school children show the features of adaptable students within the learning atmosphere of the classroom. Most of the time, teachers think that they teach and their students learn easily. However, studies on children's memory show that the learning process gets abstract when the…

Ostroff, Linnaea E.; Cain, Christopher K. – Learning & Memory, 2022
Local protein synthesis at synapses can provide a rapid supply of proteins to support synaptic changes during consolidation of new memories, but its role in the maintenance or updating of established memories is unknown. Consolidation requires new protein synthesis in the period immediately following learning, whereas established memories are…

Kvavilashvili, Lia; Ford, Ruth M. – Child Development, 2022
In a cross-sectional study, 5-, 7-, and 9-year-old-children and adults (N = 144, 86 females, predominantly White U.K. sample of lower-middle to middle-class background) were interviewed about their experiences of involuntary autobiographical memories (IAMs) and semantic mind-pops that come to mind unintentionally. Although some age differences…

Lira, Andrea; Luisa Muñoz-García, Ana; Loncon, Elisa – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2022
In this article, we reflect on a research method we called Circulo Domoche, part of a larger research project on the histories of schooling of Mapuche women in Chile in a context of continual violence against Indigenous people. It originates in the personal experience of the researchers with Chilean schooling and our academic work on education. We…

Garcia, Nelcida L.; Dick, Anthony Steven; Pruden, Shannon M. – Infant and Child Development, 2022
Identifying factors that contribute to spatial thinking is of great interest given links between spatial thinking and success in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Working memory has been found to be predictive of spatial thinking but little research has explored other components of executive function (i.e.,…

Brainerd, Charles J.; Bialer, Daniel M.; Chang, Minyu – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
The conjoint-recognition model (CRM) implements fuzzy-trace theory's opponent process conception of false memory. Within the family of measurement models that separate the memory effects of recollection and familiarity, CRM is the only one that accomplishes this for false as well as true memory. We assembled a corpus of 537 sets of…

Grünke, Matthias; Skirde, Isabel – Insights into Learning Disabilities, 2022
In this single-case study, we evaluated the effects of PESTS, a simple mnemonic strategy to help students remember how to spell difficult words. Our participant was a 9;6-year-old girl with a suspected learning disability in reading and writing. We applied a multiple-baseline design across word sets with one follow-up measurement two weeks after…

Huff, Mark J.; Maxwell, Nicholas P.; Mitchell, Anie – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
A common method used by memory scholars to enhance retention is to make materials more challenging to learn--a benefit termed desirable difficulties. Recently, researchers have investigated the efficacy of Sans Forgetica, a perceptually disfluent/distinctive font which may increase processing effort required at study and enhance memory as a…

Low, Sock Ching; Verschure, Paul F. M. J.; Santos-Pata, Diogo – Learning & Memory, 2022
Working memory has been shown to rely on theta oscillations' phase synchronicity for item encoding and recall. At the same time, saccadic eye movements during visual exploration have been observed to trigger theta-phase resets, raising the question of whether the neuronal substrates of mnemonic processing rely on motor-evoked responses. To…

Ní Chróinín, Máiréad – Research in Drama Education, 2022
In digital interactive and immersive performance, the body of the audience member is the locus of both meaning-making (through embodied, sensory operations) and meaning itself (through the affective experience of self as hybrid, open and interconnected). This article draws on André Lepecki's concept of 'will to archive' to argue that the body can…

Bond, Gary D.; Speller, Lassiter F.; Jiménez, Jaqueline Coeto; Smith, Danielle; Marin, Perla G.; Greenham, Melanie B.; Holman, Rebecka D.; Varela, Edward – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
Fading affect bias (FAB) is a phenomenon wherein the intensity of negative emotions associated with an autobiographical memory decrease more rapidly than the intensity of positive emotions. The present study had three aims: (1) to determine whether FAB could be replicated in extreme event memories (the loss of loved ones) in the Mexican culture;…

Alyson Beata Farzad-Phillips – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Over the past two decades, we have witnessed an abundance of student protests at colleges and universities in the United States. Many of these protests cluster around the issues of white supremacy and anti-Black racism as they function in higher education settings--issues that have historically and contemporarily plagued United States colleges and…
