Pande, Prajakt; Chandrasekharan, Sanjay – Research in Science Education, 2022
Representational competence in science is the ability to generate external representations (e.g. equations, graphs) of real-world phenomena, transform between these representations, and use them in an integrated fashion. Difficulties in achieving representational competence are often considered central to difficulties in learning science.…

Gustafsson, Patrik; Ryve, Andreas – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
This article reports on results from a design research project that implements a formative assessment practice with support from a classroom response system (CRS). Cumulatively building on earlier research and drawing on iteratively generated data from secondary schools in Sweden, the article elaborates on design principles and task types for…

Li, Wei; Rohde, Hannah; Corley, Martin – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
How do we decide whether a statement is literally true? Here, we contrast participants' eventual evaluations of a speaker's meaning with the real-time processes of comprehension. We record participants' eye movements as they respond to potentially misleading instructions to click on one of two objects which might be concealing treasure ("the…

Wood, H.; Rusbridge, S.; Lei, J.; Lomax, C.; Elliston, J.; Russell, A. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
We explored the role of negative performance beliefs and self-focused attention considered central to psychological models of social anxiety but not studied in autism. Firstly, we compared self- and observer ratings of performance on a social task for 71 young autistic people, 41 high and 30 low in social anxiety, finding a significant main effect…

Domingue, Benjamin W.; Kanopka, Klint; Stenhaug, Ben; Sulik, Michael J.; Beverly, Tanesia; Brinkhuis, Matthieu; Circi, Ruhan; Faul, Jessica; Liao, Dandan; McCandliss, Bruce; Obradovic, Jelena; Piech, Chris; Porter, Tenelle; Soland, James; Weeks, Jon; Wise, Steven L.; Yeatman, Jason – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2022
The speed-accuracy trade-off (SAT) suggests that time constraints reduce response accuracy. Its relevance in observational settings--where response time (RT) may not be constrained but respondent speed may still vary--is unclear. Using 29 data sets containing data from cognitive tasks, we use a flexible method for identification of the SAT (which…

Di Lonardo Burr, Sabrina M.; Xu, Chang; Li, Hongxia; Si, Jiwei; LeFevre, Jo-Anne; Wang, Yangyang – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Background: Mapping fraction symbols to magnitudes is easier for students to master than comparing fraction magnitudes. Fraction mapping assesses students' understanding of part-whole interpretations of fractions; fractions represent the parts of an object or set of objects. Fraction comparison assesses students' understanding of measurement…

Endres, Megan Lee; Chowdhury, Sanjib K. – Journal of Workplace Learning, 2022
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to apply the motivation-opportunity-ability (MOA) framework to investigate the relationships between ambiguity tolerance (AT), reflective thinking (RT) and performance in a complex task to predict knowledge-sharing intent. Design/methodology/approach: In this study, 190 subjects performed a complex scheduling…

Kautto, Anna; Mainela-Arnold, Elina – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: 'Late talkers' (LTs) are toddlers with late language emergence that cannot be explained by other impairments. It is difficult to predict which of these children continue to present long-term restrictions in language abilities and will later be identified as having a developmental language disorder. Procedural memory weaknesses have…

Merced-Nieves, Francheska M.; Chelonis, John; Pantic, Ivan; Schnass, Lourdes; Téllez-Rojo, Martha M.; Braun, Joseph M.; Paule, Merle G.; Wright, Rosalind J.; Wright, Robert O.; Curtin, Paul – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2022
Children are exposed to many trace elements throughout their development. Given their ubiquity and potential to have effects on children's neurodevelopment, these exposures are a public health concern. This study sought to identify trace element mixture-associated deficits in learning behavior using operant testing in a prospective cohort. We…

Olteanu, Constanta – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
This article explores the features of students' reasoning and sense-making when computer programming and mathematics interact, specifically, using the exterior angle concept to make different regular polygons with Scratch as a programming tool. At the end of the 2019 spring term in a public elementary school, data were obtained from a pretest, a…

Almaz Mesghina; Natalie Au Yeung; Lindsey Engle Richland – Grantee Submission, 2022
Performance measures, including standardized test scores or cognitive tasks, are commonly conceptualized as stable measures, yet are often unreliable indices of skill. We examine two contextual factors, performance pressure and feedback, that may influence the extent to which individuals demonstrate their cognitive capacity by manipulating…

Li, Chunlin; Wang, Jianqin; Otgaar, Henry – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
The current experiments examined the creation of nonbelieved true and false memories after imagining bizarre and familiar actions using the imagination inflation procedure (Goff & Roediger, 1998). In both experiments, participants took part in three sessions. In Session 1, participants had to perform or imagine simple familiar actions (e.g.,…

Negen, James; Sandri, Angela; Lee, Sang Ah; Nardini, Marko – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Large walls and other typical boundaries strongly influence neural activity related to navigation and the representations of spatial layouts. They are also major aids to reliable navigation behavior in young children and nonhuman animals. Is this because they are physical boundaries (barriers to movement), or because they present certain visual…

Liao, Ming-Ray; Anderson, Brian A. – Learning & Memory, 2020
Previously reward-associated stimuli persistently capture attention. We attempted to extinguish this attentional bias through a reversal learning procedure where the high-value color changed unexpectedly. Attentional priority shifted during training in favor of the currently high-value color, although a residual bias toward the original high-value…

Biskjaer, Michael Mose; Christensen, Bo T.; Friis-Olivarius, Morten; Abildgaard, Sille J. J.; Lundqvist, Caroline; Halskov, Kim – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2020
Searching for sources of inspiration is central to creative design; however, we have limited knowledge of individual inspiration search strategies in response to varying levels of task constraints. We studied 39 high-school students' inspiration search strategies using Google Images. Low task constrainedness led to "divergent search"…
