The Role of Scaffolding in Improving Information Seeking in Videos
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Cojean, Salomé; Jamet, Eric – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2018
Information seeking (IS) has become a critical activity in video-based environments. Up to now, the effects of support on information seeking (i.e., scaffolding) have seldom been assessed. The twofold aim of the current study was to (a) assess the effects of scaffolding on IS in videos and (b) determine the characteristics of the users' mental…

Cognitive Control and Language across the Life Span: Does Labeling Improve Reactive Control?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lucenet, Joanna; Blaye, Agnès; Chevalier, Nicolas; Kray, Jutta – Developmental Psychology, 2014
How does cognitive control change with age, and what are the processes underlying these changes? This question has been extensively studied using versions of the task-switching paradigm, which allow participants to actively prepare for the upcoming task (Kray, Eber, & Karbach, 2008). Little is known, however, about age-related changes in this…

Substituted-Letter and Transposed-Letter Effects in a Masked Priming Paradigm with French Developing Readers and Dyslexics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lete, Bernard; Fayol, Michel – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2013
The aim of the study was to undertake a behavioral investigation of the development of automatic orthographic processing during reading acquisition in French. Following Castles and colleagues' 2007 study ("Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 97," 165-182) and their lexical tuning hypothesis framework, substituted-letter and…

Modality Switching Cost during Property Verification by 7 Years of Age
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ambrosi, Solene; Kalenine, Solene; Blaye, Agnes; Bonthoux, Francoise – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2011
Recent studies in neuroimagery and cognitive psychology support the view of sensory-motor based knowledge: when processing an object concept, neural systems would re-enact previous experiences with this object. In this experiment, a conceptual switching cost paradigm derived from Pecher, Zeelenberg, and Barsalou (2003, 2004) was used to…

How Do Expert Soccer Players Encode Visual Information to Make Decisions in Simulated Game Situations?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Poplu, Gerald; Ripoll, Hubert; Mavromatis, Sebastien; Baratgin, Jean – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2008
The aim of this study was to determine what visual information expert soccer players encode when they are asked to make a decision. We used a repetition-priming paradigm to test the hypothesis that experts encode a soccer pattern's structure independently of the players' physical characteristics (i.e., posture and morphology). The participants…

Cognitive Processes in the Reflective-Impulsive Cognitive Style
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Rozencwajg, Paulette; Corroyer, Denis – Journal of Genetic Psychology, 2005
In this study, the authors improved the understanding of the cognitive processes underlying the reflective-impulsive cognitive style (RI), which was initially measured by J. Kagan, B. L. Rosman, D. Day, J. Albert, and W. Phillips (1964) on the Matching Familiar Figures Test (MFFT). The authors determined the relationships between the RI style and…
