To provide clients with the best possible treatment, social workers require fallacy recognition skills. Ideally, these skills are already acquired during university education. We conducted an experimental study with a 2 × 2 factorial design (and an additional baseline condition) with worked examples (with/without) and external scripts…

Krolak-Schwerdt, Sabine; Hörstermann, Thomas; Glock, Sabine; Böhmer, Ines – Journal of Experimental Education, 2018

The type of assessment was teachers' tracking decisions from primary to…

Müller-Kalthoff, Hanno; Jansen, Malte; Schiefer, Irene M.; Helm, Friederike; Nagy, Nicole; Möller, Jens – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2017
Dimensional comparison theory (DCT; Möller & Marsh, 2013) assumes that students compare their academic achievement intraindividually across domains to form domain-specific self-concepts. Upward dimensional comparisons are believed to lead to lower self-concepts in the worse-off domain, while downward dimensional comparisons should lead to…

Baudson, Tanja Gabriele; Preckel, Franzis – Gifted Child Quarterly, 2016
Stereotyping of gifted students may not only hinder identification and actualization of potential but also personality development ("stigma of giftedness"). This is obvious in the case of negative stereotyping (e.g., the disharmony hypothesis, which sees gifted students as intellectually strong, but emotionally and socially inferior),…

Bell, Raoul; Röer, Jan P.; Buchner, Axel – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Rating the relevance of words for the imagined situation of being stranded in the grasslands without survival material leads to exceptionally good memory for these words. This survival processing effect has received much attention because it promises to elucidate the evolutionary foundations of memory. However, the proximate mechanisms of the…

Röer, Jan P.; Bell, Raoul; Buchner, Axel – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
Memory for words rated according to their relevance in a grassland survival context is exceptionally good. According to Nairne, Thompson, and Pandeirada's (2007) evolutionary-based explanation, natural selection processes have tuned the human memory system to prioritize the processing of fitness-relevant information. The survival-processing memory…

This study investigated whether and, if so, how metacognitive knowledge can be assessed validly in students with special educational needs in a large-scale assessment like the German National Educational Panel Study. In total, 804 sixth-grade students including both regular school students attending the lowest track of secondary education…
