Carmin Chan – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Student veterans are often viewed in popular culture with a deficit mindset. They are "wounded warriors" who are navigating mental health challenges, academically underprepared, and non-traditional students balancing other responsibilities beyond college. Despite potential lingering effects of military service, student veterans bring…

Delaney E. Kelemen; Camden Burnsworth; Charles Chubb; Tracy M. Centanni – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Pitch perception is important for speech sound learning, and reading acquisition requires integration of speech sounds and written letters. Many individuals with dyslexia exhibit auditory perception deficits that may therefore contribute to their reading impairment given that complex pitch perception is crucial for categorizing speech…

Kayrn P. Higgs; Alecia M. Santuzzi; Cody Gibson; Ryan D. Kopatich; Daniel P. Feller; Joseph P. Magliano – Grantee Submission, 2023
Reading is typically guided by a task or goal (e.g., studying for a test, writing a paper). A reader's task awareness arises from their mental representation of the task and plays an important role in guiding reading processes, ultimately influencing comprehension outcomes and task success. As such, a better understanding of how task awareness…

Saerys-Foy, Jeffrey E.; LoCasto, Paul C.; Burn, David; Ferranti, Daniella – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
According to theories of validation, people routinely check incoming information against prior knowledge during comprehension. On these theories, information is validated if it fits with prior knowledge. Some researchers argue that information needs to be successfully validated before being incorporated into the situation model. We report five…

Wenting Song; Jeannine E. Turner – Foreign Language Annals, 2025
This study explored Chinese heritage language learners' prior Mandarin experiences and their current Mandarin-learning experiences to reveal factors that influence their motivation and intention to continue or discontinue their Mandarin coursework. Using a Grounded Theory approach, we conducted demographic surveys and semi-structured interviews…

Nina Woll; Pierre-Luc Paquet – Language Teaching Research, 2025
If maximal exposure were the key to success in language learning, then adult learners at the university level would be doomed to fail. Not only are they presumably too old to learn additional languages effectively, but target language (TL) input appears to be insufficient, especially when other languages are allowed in class. Nevertheless,…

Sapkota, Bima – The Mathematics Educator, 2022
This study reports how 12 secondary mathematics preservice teachers (MPSTs) described characteristics of mathematical tasks after participating in instructional activities, including reading, reflecting, and discussing task characteristics from two mathematics task frameworks and related book chapters. The findings demonstrated that after engaging…

Peng, Roger D.; Chen, Athena; Bridgeford, Eric; Leek, Jeffrey T.; Hicks, Stephanie C. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
Teaching data analysis by providing students with real-world problems and datasets allows students to integrate a variety of skills in a situation that mirrors how data analysis actually works. However, whole data analyses may obscure the individual skills of data analytic practice that are generalizable across data analyses. One such skill is the…

Winke, Paula; Huntley, Elizabeth; Gass, Susan – Arab Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2022
We explored how L2 learners of Arabic make use of video-based captions to learn vocabulary. Thirteen students watched a four-minute captioned video twice on a computer equipped with eye-tracking technology. The study included 19 novel words, 2 familiar words with novel meanings, and 2 words with familiar morphological roots (23 total). In this…

Yu-Chin, Chiu – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Recent context-control learning studies have shown that switch costs are reduced in a particular context predicting a high probability of switching as compared to another context predicting a low probability of switching. These context-specific switch probability effects suggest that control of task sets, through experience, can become associated…

Kristen Michelson; James F. Lee; Mourad Abdennebi – Language Teaching Research, 2025
Recent scholarship in multiliteracies-oriented pedagogies has advocated for greater attention to fostering 'textual thinking', understood as forms of literacy that consider the complexities of semiotic choices made by authors, and their underlying meanings, rhetorical purposes, and cultural contexts. This kind of engagement with texts calls upon…

Catrysse, Leen; Chauliac, Margot; Donche, Vincent; Gijbels, David – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2022
This study examined the relationship between refutation texts and attention allocation by focusing on the interaction between important reader-and-text characteristics. Specifically, the authors investigated how prior knowledge and text-based interest affect attention allocation on refutation/control statements, topic, and explanatory and…

Shin, Yoonhee; Song, Donggil – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
This study explores the effect of self-regulated learning support on learners' cognitive load and problem-solving performance, considering cases from well-structured to ill-structured tasks in a computer programing course. Sixty-seven undergraduate students in a computer programing fundamentals course were randomly assigned into one of two groups:…

Yu-An Lu; Cheng-Huan Lee – Second Language Research, 2024
This article provides a review of previous studies that have examined the effects of orthography on establishing contrastive phonological representations in second language acquisition and presents results from an original study on Mandarin speakers' production of English stops investigating how the presence of orthography affects the production…

Lee, Hye Yeon; List, Alexandra – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
This study examined the role of relevance determinations within the context of undergraduates' multiple text reading and writing. In this study, undergraduate students were randomly assigned to one of two experimental conditions (i.e., to compose a research report about either the causes of or the solutions to the urban housing crisis), using a…
