Meredith Pecukonis; Meryem Yücel; Henry Lee; Cory Knox; David A. Boas; Helen Tager-Flusberg – Developmental Science, 2025
Previous research suggests that book reading and screen time have contrasting effects on language and brain development. However, few studies have explicitly investigated whether children's brains function differently during these two activities. The present study used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to measure brain response in 28…

Azmetova, Rezeda Faizovna; Pivneva, Svetlana; Vitkovskaya, Nataliaya; Denisova, Diana Arkad`evna; Sindikova, Gulnara Maratovna – Journal of Educational Psychology - Propositos y Representaciones, 2021
The purpose of the article is to identify the information services for creating mind maps in the process of linguistic training of future philologists at the seminars. A comparative analysis of the most used software products for creating mind maps was carried out based on an expert survey. The results of this analysis made it possible to choose a…

Wong, Patrick C. M.; Ou, Jinghua; Pang, Celestina W. Y.; Zhang, Ling; Tse, Chi Shing; Lam, Linda C. W.; Antoniou, Mark – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: We report a preliminary study that prospectively tests the potential cognitive enhancing effect of foreign language (FL) learning in older adults with no clear signs of cognitive decline beyond what is age typical. Because language learning engages a large brain network that overlaps with the network of cognitive aging, we hypothesized…

Vandenberghe, Bert; Montero Perez, Maribel; Reynvoet, Bert; Desmet, Piet – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2022
Previous research has suggested that Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) can index form-, meaning-, and use-related aspects of the second language (L2) vocabulary knowledge, through, respectively, a lexical decision task (LDT, targeting N400), a semantic relatedness task (SEMREL, targeting N400), and a grammatical judgment task (GJT, targeting…

Parong, Jocelyn; Mayer, Richard E. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
As immersive virtual reality (IVR) systems proliferate in classrooms, it is important to understand how they affect learning outcomes and the underlying affective and cognitive processes that may cause these outcomes. Proponents argue that IVR could improve learning by increasing positive affective and cognitive processing, thereby supporting…

Takimoto, Masahiro – IAFOR Journal of Education, 2023
This study investigated the relationship between a metaphor-based approach to teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) and involvement of the brain's right hemisphere. Specifically, it examined learners' understanding of three levels of sureness associated with different expressions in English -- those that are "certain,"…

Nasrin Abdolmaleki; Zari Saeedi – International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education, 2024
The thriving technology penetration in all aspects of today's life and deficiency of traditional pedagogies necessitate wise adoption of modern approaches in the educational context. As a few studies concerned the simultaneous application of classical educational theories with modern technological pedagogy, the present researchers launched General…

Hsu, Liwei – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2022
The English as a foreign language (EFL) learners' levels of attention and meditation as well as brainwaves while interacting with an interlocutor in three different second-language (L2) socialization contexts--with another human in person, with another person through a virtual platform, and with an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot--were…

Mahaffey, Angela L. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
This article provides a qualitative examination of student responses to an enjoyable online experience illustrating structure-function relationships of chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) in the human nervous system via text messaging emojis (often employed during mobile phone messaging). The "N.A.M.E." (Neurotransmitters as…

Amy Jean Konyn – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Natural language is highly complex and can be challenging for some learners, yet the contribution of complexity to individual differences in language learning remains poorly understood. This poor understanding appears due to both a lack of consensus among researchers regarding what complexity is, and to on-line language research often employing…

Rautela, Renuka; Singh, Nandini Chatterjee – Childhood Education, 2019
In this article, the authors propose a problem-based approach to education that enables learners to build critical consciousness to drive "active citizenship"; develops their abilities to frame their identities; and empowers them to critically question any systemic, cultural, and physical manifestations of exclusion and marginalization.…
