Hadwen-Bennett, Alex; Sentance, Sue; Morrison, Cecily – International Journal of Computer Science Education in Schools, 2018
Programming can be challenging to learn, and for visually impaired (VI) learners, there are numerous additional barriers to the learning process. Many modern programming environments are inaccessible to VI learners, being difficult or impossible to interface with using a screen reader. A review of the literature has identified a number of…

Marian, Hazel; Jackson, Claire – Early Child Development and Care, 2017
This article draws on current literature leading to the development of a holistic framework to support practitioners in observation and assessment of childrens evolving inquiry skills. Evidence from the 2011 Trends in International Maths and Science Study (TIMSS) in England identifies a decline of year five student achievement in science. A…

Domire, Sarah C.; Wolfe, Pamela – Research and Practice for Persons with Severe Disabilities, 2014
Video-based instruction is becoming a common intervention in today's classrooms. Previous research has focused primarily on video modeling techniques that required the student to watch an entire video of the task before attempting to complete the task independently. Video prompting is a form of video instruction that breaks down target skills…

Koffarnus, Mikhail N.; Jarmolowicz, David P.; Mueller, E. Terry; Bickel, Warren K. – Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2013
Excessively devaluing delayed reinforcers co-occurs with a wide variety of clinical conditions such as drug dependence, obesity, and excessive gambling. If excessive delay discounting is a trans-disease process that underlies the choice behavior leading to these and other negative health conditions, efforts to change an individual's discount rate…

van Gog, Tamara; Rummel, Nikol – Educational Psychology Review, 2010
Example-based learning has been studied from different perspectives. Cognitive research has mainly focused on "worked" examples, which typically provide students with a written worked-out didactical solution to a problem to study. Social-cognitive research has mostly focused on "modeling" examples, which provide students the opportunity to observe…

Woodall, W. Gill; And Others – Journal of Broadcasting, 1983
Reviews research on viewers' understanding and retention of television news broadcasts; discusses the cognitive processes of memory and comprehension; and develops two models, one based on episodical memory and the other on semantic networks. Guidelines are offered for research based on both of these models. More than 40 sources are cited. (EAO)

Adam, Jos J.; Hommel, Bernhard; Umilta, Carlo – Cognitive Psychology, 2003
Human skilled behavior requires preparatory processes that selectively make sensory and motor systems more efficient for perceiving the upcoming stimulus and performing the correct action. We review the literature concerning these preparatory processes as studied by response-cuing paradigm, and propose a model that accounts for the major findings.…

Kveraga, Kestutis; Ghuman, Avniel S.; Bar, Moshe – Brain and Cognition, 2007
The human brain is not a passive organ simply waiting to be activated by external stimuli. Instead, we propose that the brain continuously employs memory of past experiences to interpret sensory information and predict the immediately relevant future. The basic elements of this proposal include analogical mapping, associative representations and…

Gardner, William I.; And Others – Education and Training of the Mentally Retarded, 1986
An expanded assessment model examining physiological conditions, durational events, and behavioral histories is suggested as one way to understand the stimulus events controlling aggression of developmentally disabled persons. Implications for more effective treatment are considered. (CL)

Ghyselinck, Mandy; Custers, Roel; Brysbaert, Marc – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2004
The authors investigated whether the meaning of visually presented words is activated faster for early-acquired words than for late-acquired words. They addressed the issue using the semantic Simon paradigm. In this paradigm, participants are instructed to decide whether a stimulus word is printed in uppercase or lowercase letters. However, they…

Agosto, Denise E. – Children's Literature in Education, 1999
Provides a model for studying the relationship between text and illustration in picture storybooks that employ interdependent storytelling--readers must consider both text and illustration to comprehend the story. Discusses the role of interdependent storytelling in children's literary, artistic, and intellectual development. (NH)

Nelson, Charles A. – 1980
Highlighting current literature concerning infants' ability to perceive motion, this paper discusses the sensory apparatus that makes motion perception possible. Reviews of the physiology, anatomy, and sensory capabilities of the infant's visual system, as well as a discussion of the neural physiological mechanisms that govern the visual system,…

Paap, Kenneth R.; And Others – Psychological Review, 1982
An encoding algorithm uses empirically determined confusion matrices to activate units in an alphabetum and a lexicon to predict performance of word, orthographically regular nonword, or irregular nonword recognition. Performance is enhanced when decisions are based on lexical information which constrains test letter identity. Word prediction…

Gribble, Mary; And Others – 1985
This paper addresses the question of teacher socialization through contrived images, i.e., the influence of advertising as part of an educational and socialization process. It examines ways in which computer advertisements directed towards teachers influence their perceptions of how computers can and should be used, and how the same advertisements…

Freeman, Michael K.; Whitson, Donna L. – Journal of Adult Education, 1992
Reviews models of learning style, cognitive style, and thinking style and makes recommendations: (1) style preferences are not unchangeable; (2) style refers to learner actions not ability; (3) learning should be considered broader than cognitive achievement; and (4) teachers should adopt a bilateral approach to influencing student actions.
