Rémi Dorgnier; Marie Mazerolle; François Maquestiaux; Laurence Picard – Journal of Educational Research, 2025
Recent studies in psychology emphasize the pivotal roles of adopting a growth mindset to enhance students' motivation and employing effective memory strategies to improve memory performance. This study evaluated the impact of a metacognitive intervention that combined the promotion of a growth mindset with the teaching of efficient learning…

Al Shabibi, Amal A.; Alkharusi, Hussain – Cypriot Journal of Educational Sciences, 2018
This study aimed to investigate differences in the mathematical problem-solving and metacognitive skills of the fifth-grade students in Oman as a function of gender and level of academic achievement. The participants were 90 grade five students randomly selected from one educational governorate in the Sultanate of Oman. They were evenly divided…

Khasawneh, Mohamad Ahmad Saleem; Alkhawaldeh, Mohammad Abedrabbu – International Journal of Language Education, 2020
This study identified the effectiveness of using a phonological awareness-based instructional program in developing the phonetic sequential-memorization skill among students with learning disabilities in the Aseer region. The study sample consisted of forty students from the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh grades, selected from schools in…

Haegele, Katherine; Burns, Matthew K. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2015
The amount of information that students can successfully learn and recall at least 1 day later is called an acquisition rate (AR) and is unique to the individual student. The current study extended previous drill rehearsal research with word recognition by (a) using students identified with a learning disability in reading, (b) assessing set sizes…

Wijekumar, Kausalai; Meyer, Bonnie J. F.; Lei, Puiwa; Cheng, Weiyi; Ji, Xuejun; Joshi, R. M. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2017
Reading and comprehending content area texts require learners to effectively select and encode with hierarchically strategic memory structures in order to combine new information with prior knowledge. Unfortunately, evidence from state and national tests shows that children fail to successfully navigate the reading comprehension challenges they…

Karagiannakis, Giannis N.; Baccaglini-Frank, Anna E.; Roussos, Petros – Australian Journal of Learning Difficulties, 2016
Through a review of the literature on mathematical learning disabilities (MLD) and low achievement in mathematics (LA) we have proposed a model classifying mathematical skills involved in learning mathematics into four domains (Core number, Memory, Reasoning, and Visual-spatial). In this paper we present a new experimental computer-based battery…

Kanive, Rebecca; Nelson, Peter M.; Burns, Matthew K.; Ysseldyke, James – Journal of Educational Research, 2014
The authors' purpose was to determine the effects of computer-based practice and conceptual interventions on computational fluency and word-problem solving of fourth- and fifth-grade students with mathematics difficulties. A randomized pretest-posttest control group design found that students assigned to the computer-based practice intervention…

Lin, Ching-Ying; Hsu, Wei Shu – English Language Teaching, 2013
The purpose of the study was to compare the effectiveness of hierarchy vocabulary exercises and copying vocabulary exercises on EFL students' vocabulary acquisition and reading comprehension. Two specific factors were probed: (a) vocabulary gains and retention from different exercises; (b) reading comprehension performance through different…

Mancl, Dustin B.; Miller, Susan P.; Kennedy, Meghan – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2012
Mathematics continues to be one of the most challenging aspects of the school curriculum for students with learning disabilities. The provision of pedagogically sound foundational computation and word problem instruction in the elementary grades is critical for students to progress through the mathematics curriculum successfully. A…

Iglesias-Sarmiento, Valentin; Deano, Manuel – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2011
This investigation analyzed the relation between cognitive functioning and mathematical achievement in 114 students in fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. Differences in cognitive performance were studied concurrently in three selected achievement groups: mathematical learning disability group (MLD), low achieving group (LA), and typically achieving…

Squires, Katie Ellen – ProQuest LLC, 2013
This study investigated the differential contribution of auditory-verbal and visuospatial working memory (WM) on decoding skills in second- and fifth-grade children identified with poor decoding. Thirty-two second-grade students and 22 fifth-grade students completed measures that assessed simple and complex auditory-verbal and visuospatial memory,…

Ding, Yi; Richman, Lynn C.; Yang, Ling-yan; Guo, Jian-peng – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2010
The purpose of this study was to evaluate rapid automatized naming skills (RAN) and immediate memory processes in 243 Chinese Mandarin-speaking elementary readers (ranging from Grade 1 to Grade 5). For RAN subtests, the mean naming time decreased monotonically with grade level in good and average readers, and a similar trajectory was found in poor…

Bouwmeester, Samantha; Verkoeijen, Peter P. J. L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2010
The present study aimed at testing theoretical predictions of the fuzzy-trace theory about true and false recognition. The effects of semantic relatedness and study opportunity on true and false recognition of words from Deese, Roediger, McDermott lists (J. Deese, 1959; D. R. Read, 1996; H. L. Roediger & K. B. McDermott, 1995) were evaluated…

Hayes, Orla C. – Online Submission, 2009
Mnemonic strategies that use imagery and visual cues to facilitate memory recall are commonly used in the classroom. A familiar tune, song or jingle, used as a mnemonic device is another popular memory aid. Studies of the brain and memory reveal that exposure to music not only alters but increases brain function in students. The purpose of this…
