Corinne A. Bower; Kelly S. Mix; Gregory R. Hancock; Lei Yuan; Linda B. Smith – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
Children's early accuracy on place value (PV) tasks longitudinally predicts their later multidigit calculation skills. However, another window into children's emerging base-ten concepts is the pattern of errors -- "smart errors" -- they exhibit on these measures. Past research has speculated that these smart errors -- similar to invented…

Stepan, Michelle E.; Altmann, Erik M.; Fenn, Kimberly M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Sleep deprivation impairs a wide range of cognitive processes, but the precise mechanism underlying these deficits is unclear. One prominent proposal is that sleep deprivation impairs vigilant attention, and that impairments in vigilant attention cause impairments in cognitive tasks that require attention. Here, we test this theory by studying the…

Kortemeyer, Gerd – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Massive pretrained language models have garnered attention and controversy due to their ability to generate humanlike responses: Attention due to their frequent indistinguishability from human-generated phraseology and narratives and controversy due to the fact that their convincingly presented arguments and facts are frequently simply false. Just…

Greer, Katie; McCann, Shawn – Communications in Information Literacy, 2018
The ability to effectively cite information sources is key to both student avoidance of plagiarism and the ongoing scholarly conversation. Previous research and experience indicated that students had significant trouble distinguishing and citing various information formats when viewed online; items are often cited as websites, and citations are…

Bouck, Emily C.; Bouck, Mary K.; Joshi, Gauri S.; Johnson, Linley – Learning Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2016
Students with learning disabilities struggle with word problems in mathematics classes. Understanding the type of errors students make when working through such mathematical problems can further describe student performance and highlight student difficulties. Through the use of error codes, researchers analyzed the type of errors made by 14 sixth…
