Danielle Daidone; Ryan Lidster; Franziska Kruger – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
Our study proposes the use of a free classification task for investigating the dimensions used by listeners in their perception of nonnative sounds and for predicting the perceptual discriminability of nonnative contrasts. In a free classification task, participants freely group auditory stimuli based on their perceived similarity. The results can…

Furumi, Fumikazu; Fukazawa, Minori; Nishio, Yumiko – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
Early childhood is marked by significant developmental changes in the ability to recognize facial expressions. However, since the COVID-19 outbreak, people have been wearing masks more frequently during social interactions which may hamper the recognition of facial expressions. This study examines whether preschoolers recognize the facial…

Cho, Jacee – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2020
This study examines effects of memory load on the processing of scalar implicature via a dual-task paradigm using reading span and self-paced reading. Results indicate that participants showed online sensitivity to underinformative sentences (e.g., "Some birds have wings and beaks") at the end of the sentence. This online sensitivity…

Harsel, Milou; Hoogerheide, Vincent; Verkoeijen, Peter; Gog, Tamara – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
Research suggests some sequences of examples and problems (i.e., EE, EP) are more effective (higher test performance) and efficient (attained with equal/less mental effort) than others (PP, sometimes also PE). Recent findings suggest this is due to motivational variables (i.e., self-efficacy), but did not test this during the training phase.…

Lukasik, Karolina M.; Kordynska, Katarzyna Kalina; Zawadzka, Katarzyna; Hanczakowski, Maciej – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
When reporting from memory, people may often be asked unanswerable questions--questions for which the correct answer has never been encoded. These unanswerable questions should be met with an "I don't know" response. Previous research has shown that a manipulation commonly used to enhance memory at retrieval--context…

Bergstrom, Hadley C.; Lieberman, Abby G.; Graybeal, Carolyn; Lipkin, Anna M.; Holmes, Andrew – Learning & Memory, 2020
Most experimental preparations demonstrate a role for dorsolateral striatum (DLS) in stimulus-response, but not outcome-based, learning. Here, we assessed DLS involvement in a touchscreen-based reversal task requiring mice to update choice following a change in stimulus-reward contingencies. In vivo single-unit recordings in the DLS showed…

Babcock, Ben; Risk, Nicole M.; Wyse, Adam E. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2020
This study compared the statistical properties of four job analysis task survey response scale types: criticality, difficulty in learning, importance, and frequency. We used nine job analysis studies spanning two fields, medical imaging and allied health professionals, to compare the job analysis scales in terms of variability and interrater…

Wang, Zhidan; Zhu, Xiaoyu; Fong, Frankie T.; Meng, Jing; Wang, Haijing – Infants and Young Children, 2020
Our proclivity toward high-fidelity transmission of knowledge is one of the key mechanisms that underpins our success as a species. This study evaluated overimitation within children with hearing impairments (who had either a cochlear implant or a hearing aid) in relation to those with normal hearing. A total of seventy-two 4-year-old children…

Kurtz, Kenneth J.; Honke, Garrett – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
A fundamental goal in the study of human cognition is to understand the transfer of knowledge. This goes hand-in-hand with the translational goal of promoting such transfer via instructional techniques. Despite a rich history of research using the analogical problem-solving paradigm, no study activity has been found to produce a robust rate of…

Li, Shaofeng – Language Teaching, 2020
This article calls for replication of two studies (Li, Zhu & Ellis 2016; Arroyo & Yilmaz 2018) that examine the timing of corrective feedback, which refers to whether errors should be corrected during a communicative task (immediate feedback) or after the task is completed (delayed feedback). The article starts with a rationale for…

Yuanlan Jiang; Jian-E Peng – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2025
Language learner engagement, which is receiving increased attention, has predominantly focused on offline classroom contexts, while learner engagement in language Massive Open Online Courses (LMOOCs) remains under-explored. This study was conducted on a College English MOOC with the purpose of examining learner engagement and its relations with…

Mahmoud Abdi Tabari; Xiaofei Lu; Yizhou Wang – Language Awareness, 2025
This study explored the relationship between task complexity, textual emotionality, and linguistic complexity in second language (L2) writing. Fifty-eight L2 English learners performed simple and complex versions of an argumentative writing task manipulated along with resource-­directing variables. The essays were first analysed for textual…

Anna Larsson; Kristina Ledman – Journal of Social Science Education, 2025
Purpose: This study seeks to gain an understanding of the complexities involved in real-life classroom teaching. The aim is to trace values and tensions displayed in what the teachers regard as successful and unsuccessful. Design/methodology/approach: Teachers were interviewed to explore their perceptions of success and failures in their teaching…

Min Teng; Jinfen Xu – Language Teaching Research, 2025
Although research shows that second language (L2) learners have major difficulties in developing their productive vocabulary skills, little research has been conducted on how to facilitate productive mastery of learned words. With this in mind, this study investigated the effects of task type and repetition frequency on improving receptive word…

Guitard, Dominic; Saint-Aubin, Jean; Cowan, Nelson – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
To recall a list of items just after the end of the presentation, participants must encode both the items and the order in which they were presented. Despite a long history of studying item and order information, little is known regarding the relation between them. Here, we examined this issue with a novel task in which participants saw two 4- or…
