Ali H. Al-Hoorie; Phil Hiver – Journal for the Psychology of Language Learning, 2023
In the field of second and foreign language education, conscious cognitive models of motivation dominate, while the role of unconscious motivation has not been studied systematically. Expanding the language motivation research to include implicit processes is likely to enrich the field of language learning and open up new contributions to current…

Shakira Keller; Roger Gilabert – Canadian Journal of Applied Linguistics / Revue canadienne de linguistique appliquée, 2023
The aim of this task-based needs analysis is two-fold: firstly, to uncover the tasks performed by U.S.-based Spanish-language flight attendants and the associated language needs and, in doing so, to expand the breadth of task-based needs analysis (TBNA) through the application of multiple methods and sources (Long, 2005) and tackling the…

Watanabe, Nobuki – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2023
The role of executive function training in supporting child development has been increasingly studied. Executive function is largely related to the prefrontal cortex. The anterior portion of the prefrontal cortex, which is area 10 on the Brodmann map, is essential for the emergence of higher-order executive functions. Accumulating evidence…

Kreager, B. Z.; LaDue, N. D.; Shipley, T. F. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2023
Sequence stratigraphic and Wheeler diagram interpretations require a strong combination of conceptual understanding and diagram reasoning skills. Students are generally exposed to the foundational concepts within sequence stratigraphy (relative sea level, eustasy, base level, and accommodation) in a variety of courses along their degree path,…

Liang, Geying; Fan, Wei; Hu, Zhiyuan; Zhang, Wenjie; Zhong, Yiping – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
Children exhibit a self-relevance effect whereby they share more candies with close friends and acquaintances than with strangers. The present study aimed to reduce the negative consequences of self-relevance effects by enhancing the behavioural control of sharing behaviour. This study initiated two behavioural control levels to investigate…

Qurbi, Essa Ali – Canadian Modern Language Review, 2022
This study investigated second language learners' processing of ambiguous words (e.g., "bank": [1] a financial institution, [2] an edge of a river/lake) and whether these learners are able to activate the secondary meaning as quickly as they do with the dominant meaning. English L2 and L1 participants used a window paradigm to perform a…

Cairncross, Alex; Dal Pozzo, Lena – First Language, 2022
While previous work on postverbal subjects in Italian has shown that young children are sensitive to the effects of argument structure and definiteness, little is known about the acquisition of postverbal subjects at the VP-periphery. In response, the present study investigated such subjects under new-information focus by monolingual Italian…

Kostromitina, Maria; Plonsky, Luke – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2022
Elicited imitation tasks (EITs) have been proposed and examined as a practical measure of second language (L2) proficiency. This study aimed to provide an updated and comprehensive view of the relationship between EITs and other proficiency measures. Toward that end, 46 reports were retrieved contributing 60 independent effect sizes (Pearson's r)…

Li, Shupin; Pöysä-Tarhonen, Johanna; Häkkinen, Päivi – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2022
In today's digital society, computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) and collaborative problem solving (CPS) have received increasing attention. CPS studies have often emphasized outcomes such as skill levels of CPS, whereas the action transitions in the paths to solve the problems related to these outcomes have been scarcely studied. The…

Sand, Odd Petter; Lockwood, Elise; Caballero, Marcos D.; Mørken, Knut – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2022
We present here the lessons learned by iteratively designing a tutorial for first-year university students using computer programming to work with mathematical models. Alternating between design and implementation, we used video-taped task interviews and classroom observations to ensure that the design promoted student understanding. The final…

Wang, Guangming; Zhen, Yiming; Chen, Xia; Kang, Yueyuan; Cui, Baorui – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
The purpose of this study was firstly to investigate the mathematical metacognitive characteristics of high-efficiency students by comparing high-efficiency and low-efficiency students. Secondly, the aim was to explore the pathways of mathematical metacognition of efficient mathematics learners in mathematics achievement. In this study,…

Schwichow, Martin; Brandenburger, Martina; Wilbers, Jens – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Designing and interpreting controlled experiments are important inquiry skills addressed in many current science curricula. The relevant skills associated with the design and interpretation of controlled experiments are summarised under the term control-of-variables strategy (CVS). Research on elementary school students' CVS skills shows that they…

Agmon, Galit; Loewenstein, Yonatan; Grodzinsky, Yosef – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Negated sentences are known to be more cognitively taxing than positive ones (i.e., "polarity effect"). We present evidence that two factors contribute to the polarity effect in verification tasks: processing the sentence and verifying its truth value. To quantify the relative contribution of each, we used a delayed verification task.…

Wang, Cixiao; Xu, Lingling; Liu, Hui – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Virtual manipulatives (VMs) are increasingly adopted in inquiry activities. However, the effects of the ratio of mobile device-based VMs to students and external scripts (a guiding structure for prompting group process) provision on group interaction has not been detailed. Objectives: This study proposed four different technology…

Zhang, Xiaowen; Zhou, Peng – First Language, 2022
It has been well-documented that although children around 4 years start to attribute false beliefs to others in classic false-belief tasks, they are still less able to evaluate the truth-value of propositional belief-reporting sentences, especially when belief conflicts with reality. This article investigates whether linguistic cues, verb…
