Zheng, Yafeng; Gao, Zhanghao; Shen, Jun; Zhai, Xuesong – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2023
A text semantic classification is an essential approach to recognizing the verbal intention of online learners, empowering reliable understanding, and inquiry for the regulations of knowledge construction amongst students. However, online learning is increasingly switching from static watching patterns to the collaborative discussion. The current…

Soares, Sara; Gonçalves, Matilde; Jerónimo, Rita; Kolinsky, Régine – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
Narrative texts have been advocated as tools to tackle science learning challenges, and there is even the proposal of a "narrative effect" on learning. We believe it is necessary to examine previous evidence on this effect, as well as to characterize the process of learning through science narrative texts more broadly. In this article,…

Du, Yujie; Zhang, Chenyi – International Journal on Social and Education Sciences, 2023
Development dyslexia (DD) is a common language disorder, that significantly affects children. Despite having ordinary intelligence, dyslexic people struggle with reading, writing, and comprehension in their native tongue. It is still unclear whether dyslexic kids have difficulties with visuo-spatial working memory. Using meta-analysis, this gap…

Hildenbrand, Lena; Wiley, Jennifer – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
The present study examined the relationship between working memory capacity (WMC) and comprehension on a multiple text assessment from the ACT test for college preparedness in which texts are available during question answering. Specifically, it was of interest whether differences in relations would be seen across different question types. Only…

Pulido, Manuel F.; López-Beltrán, Priscila – Cognitive Science, 2023
Previous work on individual differences has revealed limitations in the ability of existing measures (e.g., working memory) to predict language processing. Recent evidence suggests that an individual's sensitivity to detect the statistical regularities present in language (i.e., "chunk sensitivity") may significantly modulate online…

Solís-Campos, Adrián; Aldemir, Hülya; Rodríguez-Ortiz, Isabel R.; Saldaña, David – Deafness & Education International, 2023
Executive functions have both direct and indirect effects on reading comprehension. Previous studies have shown that people with hearing loss (HL) perform poorly on executive functions and reading comprehension tasks. This scoping review explored the current state of the literature relating executive function and reading comprehension in children…

Prinz-Weiß, Anja; König, Aline – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2023
When learning from texts, it is not only important that learners remember and comprehend the content, but also that they monitor and accurately judge their memory and comprehension so as to efficiently regulate their learning. In the present experiment with 51 university students, we investigated to what extent headings within texts promote these…

Fry, Regan; Li, Xian; Evans, Travis C.; Esterman, Michael; Tanaka, James; DeGutis, Joseph – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Autism traits are common exclusionary criteria in developmental prosopagnosia (DP) studies. We investigated whether autism traits produce qualitatively different face processing in 43 DPs with high vs. low autism quotient (AQ) scores. Compared to controls (n = 27), face memory and perception were similarly deficient in the high- and low-AQ DPs,…

Debbie Sonu – Teacher Education Quarterly, 2023
This study analyzes a set of drawings of childhood memories and brief accompanying narratives created by 16 preservice student teachers enrolled in a teacher education program in the United States and focuses primarily on the forms, metaphors, and symbolic representations that beginning teachers use to represent the time of childhood. As argued, a…

Börger, Julian; Spilles, Markus; Krull, Johanna; Hagen, Tobias; Hennemann, Thomas – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2023
Various studies have shown that video-based learning by explaining to a fictitious audience can be an effective learning strategy for promoting multiple knowledge domains such as memory, comprehension and knowledge transfer. However, field studies testing the effectiveness of this learning strategy in an applied setting are rare. The present study…

Alyssa Pualani Lawson – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Learning in a multimedia environment puts many demands on a learner's limited working memory, but this can become even more demanding as the level of distraction increases in a lesson. What has not been investigated much in previous literature is whether higher levels of distraction in lessons are more harmful to some learners than others. This…

Marjorie Freggens – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Intro. A full account of speech perception requires explaining how listeners organize the acoustic signal into speech objects (perceptual organization) and how listeners use their memory for language to impart meaning to the speech objects (linguistic memory). Traditionally these mechanisms have been investigated separately, and thus theorized as…

Schultz, Jessica E. – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Executive functions are higher order mental processes individuals use during academic tasks (Diamond, 2013). Few studies examined executive functions in braille reading. Additionally, most studies located by the primary researcher were studies analyzing group differences between individuals with visual impairments and those who are sighted and…

Chen, Yingzhao – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The appropriate amount of first language (L1) and second language (L2) to use in L2 learning has been constantly debated (e.g., Cummins, 2007; Hall & Cook, 2012). This study situates the debate of L1 and L2 use in the context of vocabulary learning from reading. By examining the potential moderating factors on the comparison of L1 and L2…

McGill, Ryan J. – Psychology in the Schools, 2020
The present study examined the factor structure of the Kaufman assessment battery for children-second edition normative update with normative sample participants aged 7-18 years (N = 500) using confirmatory factor analysis with maximum likelihood estimation and multidimensional scaling procedures. For the 10 subtest Cattell-Horn-Carroll core…
