Jill Lany; Ferhat Karaman; Jessica F. Hay – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Infants' sensitivity to transitional probabilities (TPs) supports language development by facilitating mapping high-TP (HTP) words to meaning, at least up to 18 months of age. Here we tested whether this HTP advantage holds as lexical development progresses, and infants become better at forming word--referent mappings. Two groups of 24-month-olds…

Jasmine Spencer; Hasibe Kahraman; Elisabeth Beyersmann – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Reading morphologically complex words requires analysis of their morphemic subunits (e.g., play + er); however, the positional constraints of morphemic processing are still little understood. The current study involved three unprimed lexical decision experiments to directly compare the positional encoding of stems and affixes during reading and to…

Léo Picat; Salvador Mascarenhas – Cognitive Science, 2024
We investigate the articulation between domain-general reasoning and interpretive processes in failures of deductive reasoning. We focus on illusory inferences from disjunction-like elements, a broad class of deductive fallacies studied in some detail over the past 15 years. These fallacies have received accounts grounded in reasoning processes,…

Qi Cheng; Xu Yan; Lujia Yang; Hao Lin – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2024
The current study combined sentence plausibility judgment and self-paced reading tasks to examine the comprehension strategies and processing patterns of Chinese deaf individuals when comprehending written Chinese sentences with syntactic-semantic cue conflicts. Similar to findings from previous crosslinguistic studies on deaf readers, the Chinese…

Catarina Vales; Zach Branson; Anna V. Fisher – Infant and Child Development, 2025
Cognitive tasks are seldom evaluated on their ability to provide valid and reliable measurements of the construct they intend to measure. This scarcity of psychometric evaluations makes it challenging to evaluate replications of experimental effects and to relate performance in cognitive tasks to other constructs of interest. In developmental…

Nicholas P. Maxwell; Mark J. Huff – Metacognition and Learning, 2024
Judgments of learning (JOLs) are often reactive on memory for cue-target pairs. This pattern, however, is moderated by relatedness, as related but not unrelated pairs often show a memorial benefit compared to a no-JOL control group. Based on Soderstrom et al.'s, "Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition" 41,…

Yuanjing Lyu; Shuoqi Xiang; Zexuan Jiang; Huizhi Bai; Junjie Huang; Weixing Yang; Xing Wang; Senqing Qi; Weiping Hu – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2024
Novelty seeking has been found to affect creative performance, but its impact on the temporal dynamics of creative information processing remains unclear. Creative information is identified by two key indicators--novelty and appropriateness. To explore the effect of novelty seeking on the temporal processing of novelty and appropriateness, a…

Chen Cheng; Jiuqing Tang; Xiao Liang; Zhengjun Wang; Jay G. Rueckl; Jingjing Zhao – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
It has been widely accepted that developmental dyslexia (DD) exhibits deficits in reading and spelling. However, the role of phonology and semantics in reading and spelling in dyslexia has not been systematically investigated. In Experiment 1, 45 Chinese children with DD and 43 age-matched controls read two tests with Chinese characters. One test…

Kate Dawes – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This study aimed to investigate the following questions: Does the use of thinking maps and semantic mapping during explicit vocabulary instruction affect content specific science vocabulary knowledge and comprehension in fourth grade students? and What are student perceptions of using thinking maps and semantic maps to learn new vocabulary? To…

Benjamin Kowialiewski; Steve Majerus; Klaus Oberauer – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Recall performance in working memory (WM) is strongly affected by the similarity between items. When asked to encode and recall list of items in their serial order, people confuse more often the position of similar compared to dissimilar items. Models of WM explain this deleterious effect of similarity through a problem of discriminability between…

Cong Xie; Shuangfei Zhang; Xinuo Qiao; Ning Hao – npj Science of Learning, 2024
This study investigated whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targeting the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) can alter the thinking process and neural basis of creativity. Participants' performance on the compound remote associates (CRA) task was analyzed considering the semantic features of each trial after receiving different tDCS…

Dominic Lohr; Marc Berges; Abhishek Chugh; Michael Kohlhase; Dennis Müller – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2025
Background: Over the past few decades, the process and methodology of automatic question generation (AQG) have undergone significant transformations. Recent progress in generative natural language models has opened up new potential in the generation of educational content. Objectives: This paper explores the potential of large language models…

Ünal Çakiroglu; Seval Bilgi – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
The aim of this explanatory study is to identify the causes of intrinsic cognitive load in programming process. For this purpose, a method based on two dimensions; programming knowledge types (syntactic, semantic, and strategic) and programming constructs was proposed. The proposed method was tested with high school students enrolled in Computer…

Xiangjun Deng; Xiaobei Zheng; Haoyan Ge – First Language, 2024
The acquisition of quantifiers is a central topic in cognitive science. The present study investigated the emergence, frequency, and non-target-like production of the universal quantifiers "all," "every," and "each" in child English from a linguistic perspective, based on the data from longitudinal naturalistic…

Paromita Deb; Anupam Basu – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
The study explored the role of verbal fluency in determining reading and comprehension skills in Bengali among 10-year old typically developing Bengali children. Robust correlations were found between semantic fluency and word reading (0.63) as well as semantic fluency and comprehension (0.70). Good correlation was found between letter fluency and…
