Pauline Megan Fox – Teacher Education Advancement Network Journal, 2024
Despite growing interest in spaced retrieval methods, a research gap has been discovered, with insufficient data to support best practises in year-one science. After analysing five systematic action cycles, four interrelated themes emerged: dual coding, cognitive load, peer communication, and feedback-driven metacognition. While literature…

San Bolkan; Alan K. Goodboy – Communication Education, 2024
The effect of instructor clarity on student learning has been explained using cognitive load theory, which stipulates that students have limited mental resources to devote to activities pertaining to learning. To date, the effect of teacher clarity on students' cognitive burden has been studied in reference to students' extraneous cognitive load…

Yadi Yu; Wenbo Zhao; Anran Li; David R. Shanks; Xiao Hu; Liang Luo; Chunliang Yang – Educational Psychology Review, 2025
Retrieval practice is well-established as a powerful tool for reinforcing long-term learning. Most previous research has concentrated on the effectiveness of overt retrieval, involving recalling information from memory and generating overt responses by writing, typing, or speaking aloud the retrieved information. Here we ask whether covert…

Christine C. A. van Nooijen; Bjorn B. de Koning; Wichor M. Bramer; Anna Isahakyan; Maryam Asoodar; Ellen Kok; Jeroen J. G. van Merrienboer; Fred Paas – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
Visual problem-solving is an essential skill for professionals in various visual domains. Novices in these domains acquire such skills through interactions with experts (e.g., apprenticeships). Experts guide novice visual problem-solving with scaffolding behaviours. However, there is little consensus about the description and classification of…

Wuji Lin; Chenxi Lv; Jiejie Liao; Yuan Hu; Yutong Liu; Jingyuan Lin – npj Science of Learning, 2024
The debate about whether the capacity of working memory (WM) varies with the complexity of memory items continues. This study employed novel experimental materials to investigate the role of complexity in WM capacity. Across seven experiments, we explored the relationship between complexity and WM capacity. The results indicated that the…

Dillon H. Murphy; Matthew G. Rhodes; Alan D. Castel – Metacognition and Learning, 2024
When we monitor our learning, often measured via judgments of learning (JOLs), this metacognitive process can change what is remembered. For example, prior work has demonstrated that making JOLs enhances memory for related, but not unrelated, word pairs in younger adults. In the current study, we examined potential age-related differences in…

I-Hsuan Shen; Wei-En Wang; Hsing-Chang Ni; Chia-Ling Chen – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2024
Objective: To investigate the neural mechanisms underlying working memory (WM) deficits in children with ADHD. Method: WM was compared between thirty-four children with ADHD and thirty-four matched controls using neuropsychological tests, spatial and verbal versions of modified delayed matching-to-sample (DMTS) tasks, and the event-related…

Élisabeth Bélanger; Lorie-Marlène Brault Foisy; Steve Masson – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2025
The main objective of this methodological article is to discuss the contribution of response times as a tool in education research. The use of response times in research is largely a legacy of the work carried out in cognitive psychology, which has made it possible to describe the cognitive processes involved in information processing. In…

Jianqiang Ye; Junhua Gao; Tingting Lin; Kun He; Dimei Chen – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2025
This study explored the impact of oxidation-reduction reaction problem difficulty on university students' cognitive load using event-related potentials (ERPs). Forty-eight balanced low and high difficulty problems were designed. Fifteen undergraduate students majoring in chemistry (8 females and 7 males) participated in the study. Results…

Yi Zhang; Ke Xu; Yun Pan; Zhongling Pi; Jiumin Yang – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2025
The current study investigated the effects of segmentation design and drawing on college students' video learning. Participants were 158 college students randomly assigned to view either a segmented or continuous video lecture (video type: segmented vs continuous) and who either received instructed to draw while learning or no instructions at all…

Julia A. Simms – Solution Tree, 2024
With many distractions competing for students' attention, student engagement and knowledge retention are more important than ever. "Where Learning Happens" explores the types of attention--sustained, selective, divided, and effective--in depth and provides research-suggested strategies to maximize student attention and engagement. By…

Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to assess dual-task interference (i.e., changes between the dual-task and baseline condition) in a listening effort dual-task paradigm in normal-hearing (NH) adults, hearing aid (HA) users, and cochlear implant (CI) users. Method: Three groups of 31 participants were included: (a) NH adults, (b) HA…

Yi Ding; Qian Wang; Ru-De Liu; Jolene Trimm; Jiayi Wang; Shu Feng; Wei Hong; Xian-Tong Yang – SAGE Open, 2024
The paper examined the relations among problem solving, automaticity, and working memory load (WML) by changing the difficulty level of task characteristics through two applications. In Study 1, involving 68 engineering students, a 2 (automaticity) x 2 (WML) design was utilized for arithmetic problems. In Study 2, involving 76 engineering…

Julia H. Howe; Erica S. Baumgartner – Review of Education, 2024
This literature review explores the impact of music on tonal language learning, with a focus on Mandarin Chinese. Utilising searches across major databases such as ERIC (EBSCO), ProQuest Central, Google Scholar, and Web of Science from 2005 to 2024, we selected relevant peer-reviewed English-language articles examining music's role in aiding tone…

Qiong Yu; Yi Ding; Yifan Wang; Chun Zhang; Akane Zusho – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2024
This study investigated the effects of working memory load (WML) and automaticity on mental addition through an examination of both task and individual characteristics within the framework of cognitive load theory. Results from 73 fourth graders showed that WML, automaticity, and their interaction had significant effects on mental addition.…
