Ori Ossmy; Danyang Han; Patrick MacAlpine; Justine Hoch; Peter Stone; Karen E. Adolph – Developmental Science, 2024
What is the optimal penalty for errors in infant skill learning? Behavioral analyses indicate that errors are frequent but trivial as infants acquire foundational skills. In learning to walk, for example, falling is commonplace but appears to incur only a negligible penalty. Behavioral data, however, cannot reveal whether a low penalty for falling…

Lucia Sweeney; Elena Plante; Heidi M. Mettler; Jessica Hall; Rebecca Vance – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2024
Purpose: Although conversational recast treatment is generally efficacious, there are many ways in which the individual components of the treatment can be delivered. Some of these are known to enhance treatment, others appear to interfere with learning, and still others appear to have no impact at all. This study tests the potential effect of…

Eva Viviani; Michael Ramscar; Elizabeth Wonnacott – Cognitive Science, 2024
Ramscar, Yarlett, Dye, Denny, and Thorpe (2010) showed how, consistent with the predictions of error-driven learning models, the order in which stimuli are presented in training can affect category learning. Specifically, learners exposed to artificial language input where objects preceded their labels learned the discriminating features of…

Theresa Wills; Jennifer Suh; Kate Roscioli; Amanda Guzman; Jennifer Everdale; Sandra Lee – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
This article describes "Build It!--The Rectangle Game" task that uses the context of a game to develop mathematical generalizations based on strategy. The underlying mathematics in this game-based task is for students to discover factors and prime and composite numbers through 100. The playful use of "The Rectangle Game"…

Martínez-García, Cristina; Cuetos, Fernando; Suárez-Coalla, Paz – Journal for the Study of Education and Development, 2022
It is common to see mirror errors in letters in early stages of reading due to the mirror-generalization process that allows a visual stimulus to be identified independently of its orientation. To avoid such errors, this process must be inhibited. A special case would be children with dyslexia since their difficulties with the alphabetic code may…

Hallinen, Nicole R.; Sprague, Lauren N.; Blair, Kristen P.; Adler, Rebecca M.; Newcombe, Nora S. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2021
Background: One criterion of adaptive learning is appropriate generalization to new instances based on the original learning context and avoiding overgeneralization. Appropriate generalization requires understanding what features of a solution are applicable in a new context and whether the new context requires modifications or a new approach. In…

Wong, Sarah Shi Hui – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
Transfer of learning is a fundamental goal of education but is challenging to achieve, especially where far transfer to remote contexts is at stake. How can we improve learners' flexible application of knowledge to distant domains? In a counterintuitive phenomenon termed the "derring effect," deliberately committing and correcting errors…

Özel, Zeynep; Isiksal-Bostan, Mine; Tekin-Sitrava, Reyhan – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2022
This qualitative case study aimed to investigate prospective middle school mathematics teachers' instructional responses based on the students' correct and incorrect functional thinking within the context of pattern generalization. The data were collected from thirty-two prospective teachers through a written task and semi-structured interviews…

Hefer, Carmen; Dreisbach, Gesine – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
There is much evidence showing that the prospect of performance-contingent reward increases the usage of cuing information and cognitive stability. In a recent study, we showed that participants under reward conditions even continued using cues even when they were no longer predictive of the required response rule, even at the expense of higher…

Fröber, Kerstin; Jurczyk, Vanessa; Dreisbach, Gesine – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Frequent forced switching between tasks has been shown to reduce switch costs and increase voluntary switch rates. So far, however, the boundary conditions of the influence of forced task switching on voluntary task switching are unknown. Thus, the present study was aimed to test different aspects of generalizability (across items, tasks, and…

Castroviejo, Elena; Hernández-Conde, José V.; Lazaridou-Chatzigoga, Dimitra; Ponciano, Marta; Vicente, Agustín – Language Learning and Development, 2023
This paper reports an experiment that investigates interpretive distinctions between two different expressions of generalization in Spanish. In particular, our aim was to find out when the distinction between generic statements (GS) such as "Tigers have stripes" and universally quantified statements (UQS) such as "All tigers have…

Purpose: An increasing number of anomia treatment studies have coupled traditional word retrieval accuracy outcome measures with more fine-grained analysis of word retrieval errors to allow for more comprehensive measurement of treatment-induced changes in word retrieval. The aim of this study was to examine changes in picture naming errors after…

Zhang, Mengxue; Wang, Zichao; Baraniuk, Richard; Lan, Andrew – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
Feedback on student answers and even during intermediate steps in their solutions to open-ended questions is an important element in math education. Such feedback can help students correct their errors and ultimately lead to improved learning outcomes. Most existing approaches for automated student solution analysis and feedback require manually…

Pearl, Lisa – Language Learning and Development, 2022
Poverty of the stimulus has been at the heart of ferocious and tear-filled debates at the nexus of psychology, linguistics, and philosophy for decades. This review is intended as a guide for readers without a formal linguistics or philosophy background, focusing on what poverty of the stimulus is and how it's been interpreted, which is…

Nicole Irene Mirea – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Phonotactic patterns are generalizations that govern the order of consonants and vowels, within words and syllables. Certain second-order phonotactic patterns--those that relate multiple sounds within a syllable, such as "if the vowel is [near-close near-front unrounded vowel], then [s] can only appear at the end of the…
