Ichien, Nicholas; Lu, Hongjing; Holyoak, Keith J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Although models of word meanings based on distributional semantics have proved effective in predicting human judgments of similarity among individual concepts, it is less clear whether or how such models might be extended to account for judgments of similarity among relations between concepts. Here we combine an individual-differences approach…

Hayes, Brett K.; Liew, Shi Xian; Desai, Saoirse Connor; Navarro, Danielle J.; Wen, Yuhang – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
The samples of evidence we use to make inferences in everyday and formal settings are often subject to selection biases. Two property induction experiments examined group and individual sensitivity to one type of selection bias: sampling frames - causal constraints that only allow certain types of instances to be sampled. Group data from both…

Comparison in the Classroom: Motivation for Academic Social Comparison Predicts Academic Performance
Fanny Lalot; Diane M. Houston – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2025
Reviews of social comparison processes in school contexts have concluded that individual differences in propensity to compare with others are likely to be important in the classroom, but that there is a paucity of evidence testing this key proposition. To address this gap, we developed and validated a new measure of propensity to engage in…

Barnes, M. Elizabeth; Riley, Rebekkah; Bowen, Chloe; Cala, Jacqueline; Brownell, Sara E. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Learning about evolution is a foundational part of biology education, but most current studies that explore college student evolution education are conducted at universities. However, community college students tend to be more diverse in characteristics shown to be related to evolution education outcomes. To explore how studies involving…

Akgun, Ergun; Mede, Enisa; Sarac, Seda – International Journal of Assessment Tools in Education, 2022
This study aims to examine the relations and associations between gender, epistemic curiosity (EC), self-regulated learning (SRL), and attitudes toward e-learning in higher education students. The participants were 2438 (862 males, 1576 females) undergraduate students enrolled in a Turkish university. The regression analysis findings showed that…

Haruka Sophia Iwao; Sally Andrews; Aaron Veldre – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
Evidence of sensitivity to graphotactic and morphological patterns in English spelling has been extensively examined in monolinguals. Comparatively few studies have examined bilinguals' sensitivity to spelling regularities. The present study compared late Chinese-English bilinguals and English monolinguals on their sensitivity to systematic…

McCready, Adam M. – Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, 2020
Relying on data collected from a college social fraternity (n = 2,678) represented at 76 institutions, the study utilized hierarchical linear modeling to explore if collective fraternity chapter traditional masculine norm climates predict significant portions of the variance of members' endorsement of social dominance hazing. The findings indicate…

Öncel, Püren; Flynn, Lauren E.; Sonia, Allison N.; Barker, Kennis E.; Lindsay, Grace C.; McClure, Caleb M.; McNamara, Danielle S.; Allen, Laura K. – Grantee Submission, 2021
Automated Writing Evaluation systems have been developed to help students improve their writing skills through the automated delivery of both summative and formative feedback. These systems have demonstrated strong potential in a variety of educational contexts; however, they remain limited in their personalization and scope. The purpose of the…

Yiran Zhang; Mostafa Papi – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2024
The present study employs regulatory focus theory (Higgins, 1997) to investigate the effects of L2 speakers' chronic regulatory focus on their L2 pragmatic versus grammatical awareness. It involved the participation of 121 Chinese students, who are English language learners, at a university in the United States. Haws et al.'s (2010) questionnaire…

Caceffo, Ricardo; Valle, Eduardo; Mesquita, Rickson; Azevedo, Rodolfo – European Journal of Physics Education, 2019
According to the Felder and Silverman Learning Styles Model (FSM), students have learning preferences regarding how information is obtained, processed, perceived and understood. The Index of Learning Styles (ILS) is an online questionnaire created by Felder and Soloman to classify students according to their learning styles. With a priori…

Braasch, Jason L. G.; Kessler, Erica D. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
Comprehension substantially benefits from attending to, thinking about, and mentally representing the sources of any presented information. Such processes require mental effort and unfortunately people do not always engage in such activities. The current article presents a nascent, evolving model of discourse comprehension that formalizes…

Händel, Marion; de Bruin, Anique B. H.; Dresel, Markus – Metacognition and Learning, 2020
Extensive research has been conducted to understand how accurately students monitor their studying and performance via metacognitive judgments. Moreover, the bases of students' metacognitive judgments are of interest. While previous results are quite consistent regarding the importance of performance for the accuracy of metacognitive judgments,…

Bye, Jeffrey K.; Harsch, Rina M.; Varma, Sashank – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2022
Algebraic thinking and strategy flexibility are essential to advanced mathematical thinking. Early algebra instruction uses 'missing-operand' problems (e.g., x - 7 = 2) solvable via two typical strategies: (1) direct retrieval of arithmetic facts (e.g., 9 - 7 = 2) and (2) performance of the inverse operation (e.g., 2 + 7 = 9). The current study…

Navarro, Ester; Macnamara, Brooke N.; Glucksberg, Sam; Conway, Andrew R. A. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2020
The underlying cognitive mechanisms explaining why speakers sometimes make communication errors are not well understood. Some scholars have theorized that audience design engages automatic processes when a listener is present; others argue that it relies on effortful resources, even if a listener is present. We hypothesized that working memory is…

Smith, Francis X.; Was, Christopher A. – Educational Sciences: Theory and Practice, 2019
Knowledge monitoring is an important metacognitive process, which can help students improve study habits and thereby increase academic performance. Which is more useful in predicting test performance: knowing what you know, or knowing what you do not know? Two distinct constructs of knowledge monitoring calibration, sensitivity and specificity,…
