Sophie Bouton; Coralie Chevallier; Aminata Hallimat Cissé; Barbara Heude; Pierre O. Jacquet – Developmental Science, 2024
During human childhood, brain development and body growth compete for limited metabolic resources, resulting in a trade-off where energy allocated to brain development can decrease as body growth accelerates. This preregistered study explores the relationship between language skills, serving as a proxy for brain development, and body mass index at…

Nurit Paz-Baruch – Educational Studies, 2024
The study identified the cognitive mechanisms that underly individual differences in mathematics and reading. There is little systematic evidence regarding the connections between cognitive capabilities, mathematics and reading among high-school students with typical development. Moreover, the study aimed to examine whether or not gender is…

Kala Krishna; Pelin Akyol; Esma Ozer – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2025
Exams are designed to rank students objectively by their abilities, including elements such as time limits, the number and difficulty of questions, and negative marking policies. Using data from a lab-in-field experiment, we develop and estimate a model of student behavior in multiple-choice exams that incorporates the effects of time constraints…

Pandora Dorouka; Michail Kalogiannakis; Ron Blonder – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
Successful integration of digital technologies in the education of young children still needs to be solved. Despite a growing body of research focusing on learning through digital technologies in childhood, there are areas of knowledge where the impact of digital technologies has yet to be explored. A prominent example is nanoscience and…

Joni M. Lakin; Jon Wai; Paula Olszewski-Kubilius; Susan Corwith; Danielle Rothschild; David Uttal – Grantee Submission, 2024
Spatial thinking permeates much of our lives and is an asset when solving problems involving well-structured visual information or imagining solutions in physical or digital space. However, an estimated three million US school children have spatial talents that go unrecognized because of the tools commonly used for identification of academic…

Ellen Babb; Laura Vandervoort; Brianne Derby; Laura de la Roche; Elizabeth Kelley – Journal of Special Education, 2025
Autistic youth demonstrate an overestimation of competencies when compared with neurotypical (NT) peers. Research has also shown NT males/boys tend to overestimate their competencies more than NT females/girls. This study assessed sex differences in autistic youths' overestimations on academic self-perception variables. Notably, 127 (70 male)…

Danielle Harris; Ilyse Resnick; Tracy Logan; Tom Lowrie – Developmental Science, 2025
There are contentious and persistent gender differences reported in some measures of spatial skills, particularly mental rotation and, to a lesser extent, perspective-taking, which may have an impact on mathematics success. Furthermore, pathways between spatial skills and mathematics may be mediated by other cognitive factors, such as fluid…

Urszula Oszwa; Agnieszka Buczak – European Journal of Education, 2025
Both classical and contemporary definitions of education emphasise the development of learners and the discovery of their potential. The period of systemic education at all stages is an opportunity to seek this potential both at school and outside it. These are the circumstances of the development of abilities, interests and passions. In the…

Silvia Di Battista; Monica Pivetti; Gilda Bozzi – Journal of Experimental Education, 2024
Teachers play a fundamental role in guaranteeing an inclusive teaching practice using Educational Robotics (ER). However, they may hold gender-differentiated views of their students' academic abilities and aptitudes in ER. This quasi-experimental test investigated gender-differentiated attributions and behavioral intentions of N = 158 Italian…

Larissa Maria Troesch; Jessica Carolyn Weiner-Bühler; Alexander Grob – Language Learning and Development, 2024
A good deal of research purports that bilingualism has a positive effect on some aspects of cognitive functioning. However, this effect is not consistent, and little research examines trajectories of cognitive skill development in bilingual children. Moreover, it remains unclear whether different types of bilingualism impact how cognitive…
