Liu, Nina; Wang, Xia; Yan, Guoli; Paterson, Kevin B.; Pagán, Ascensión – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2021
The frequency and contextual predictability of words have a fundamental role in determining "where" and "when" the eyes move during reading in both alphabetic and non-alphabetic languages. However, surprising little is known about the how the influence of these variables develops, although this is important for understanding…

Pulgar, Javier; Fahler, Valentina; Spina, Alexis – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Traditionally, scholars in physics education research have focused on students solving well-structured learning activities at the university. However, due to their constrained nature, these problems hinder collaboration and idea generation. In order to encourage student collaboration and decision making demands among undergraduate students in an…

Nakamura, Sachiko; Phung, Linh; Reinders, Hayo – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2021
This study examined the effect of choice on EFL learners' task engagement. Twenty-four Thai university students completed two opinion-gap tasks. In one, they discussed and agreed on three items among given options (+constraint). In the other, they discussed and agreed on three items among the options they generated (-constraint). Spoken…

Zhang, Hongyang; Wink, Donald J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This paper uses evidence-centered assessment design (ECD) to structure and analyze a laboratory activity where students collect and represent titration curve data to determine acid strength in terms of molarity and dissociation constant. Following principles of multidimensional learning, the activity prompts students to demonstrate knowledge of…

Mayweg-Paus, Elisabeth; Zimmermann, Maria; Le, Nguyen-Thinh; Pinkwart, Niels – Education and Information Technologies, 2021
In everyday life, people seek, evaluate, and use online sources to underpin opinions and make decisions. While education must promote the skills people need to critically question the sourcing of online information, it is important, more generally, to understand how to successfully promote the acquisition of any skills related to seeking online…

Thielgen, Markus M.; Schade, Stefan; Bosé, Carolin – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2021
In the present study, we investigated whether police officers' performance in searching for unfamiliar faces in a video-based real-world task is predicted by laboratory-based face processing tests that are typically used to assess individual differences in face processing abilities. Specifically, perceptual performance in the field was…

Salminen, Mikko; Hamari, Juho; Ravaja, Niklas – Creativity Research Journal, 2021
Trait emotional intelligence and evoked empathy may help in a task where emotion-evoking source material is utilized to ideate solutions and services for the end-user. Participants of the current study read life stories of different persons, with perspective-taking instruction to evoke either high or low empathy. The reading was followed with…

Upadhaya, Baburam; Sudharshana, N. P. – TESOL Journal, 2021
Given the positive effect of teaching idiomatic expressions using the conceptual metaphor (CM) view, and the many benefits of using language tasks in English as a second or foreign language context, this article aims to help teachers design and develop tasks on the basis of CM and task-based language teaching (TBLT). In this study, a series of…

Novák, Matej; Petr, Jan; Tomáš, Ditrich – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2021
For the possibility of using competitive tasks from the Biology Olympiad (BiO), either directly or after certain adaptations for everyday teaching tasks in the teaching process, it was aimed to determine if students could work meaningfully with them. The success of 2nd-year secondary school students (n = 113) in solutions of tasks (n = 5)…

Dahan, Anat; Dubnov, Yuri A.; Popkov, Alexey Y.; Gutman, Itai; Probolovski, Hila Gvirts – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Individuals with ASD have been shown to have different pattern of functional connectivity. In this study, brain activity of participants with many and few autistic traits, was recorded using an fNIRS device, as participants preformed an interpersonal synchronization task. This type of task involves synchronization and functional connectivity of…

Wojcik, Erica H. – Language Learning and Development, 2021
Children often hear many new words in one conversation, and yet word learning research overwhelmingly focuses on how children learn and retrieve the meanings of single words. The current experiment tests how the number of labeled objects affects preschoolers' novel word referent selection immediately after encoding and after a one-week delay.…

Treiman, Rebecca; Jewell, Rebecca; Berg, Kristian; Aronoff, Mark – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
The spelling of an English word may reflect its part of speech, not just the sounds within it. In 2 preregistered experiments, we asked whether university students are sensitive to 1 effect of part of speech that has been observed by linguists: that content words (e.g., the noun "inn") must be spelled with at least 3 letters, whereas…

Edwards, Chad; Edwards, Autumn; Albrehi, Fatima; Spence, Patric – Communication Education, 2021
Extending previous research on the Computers Are Social Actors paradigm and the human-to-human interaction script, this study examines the interpersonal impressions of a social robot evaluator versus a human evaluator in a performance evaluation context. A between-subjects experiment was conducted to measure participants' impressions of the…

Zhang, Xinru; Pi, Zhongling; Li, Chenyu; Hu, Weiping – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
Intrinsic motivation is seen as the principal source of vitality in educational settings. This study examined whether intrinsic motivation promoted online group creativity and tested a cognitive mechanism that might explain this effect. University students (N = 72; 61 women) who volunteered to participate were asked to fulfill a creative task with…

Park, Hyung-Bum; Ahn, Shinhae; Zhang, Weiwei – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2021
Cognition and action are often intertwined in everyday life. It is thus pivotal to understand how cognitive processes operate with concurrent actions. The present study aims to assess how simple physical effort operationalized as isometric muscle contractions affects visual attention and inhibitory control. In a dual-task paradigm, participants…
