Ren, Jinglei; Wang, Min; Arciuli, Joanne – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The purpose of this meta-analytic review is to investigate the relation between statistical learning (SL) and language-related outcomes, and between SL and reading-related outcomes. A comprehensive search of peer-reviewed published research resulted in 42 articles with 53 independent samples and 201 reported effect sizes (Pearson's r). Results of…

Lee, Dong-Min; Ryu, Jaemyong – Journal of Geography, 2013
This article examines possibilities associated with the cultivation of balanced regional images via the use of simple methods. Two experiments based on the primacy effect and the painting picture rule, or visual depiction of regions, were conducted. The results show significant differences in the formation of regional images. More specifically,…

Kobayashi, Yukio – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2011
The formula [image omitted] is closely related to combinatorics through an elementary geometric exercise. This approach can be expanded to the formulas [image omitted], [image omitted] and [image omitted]. These formulas are also nice examples of showing two approaches, one algebraic and one combinatoric, to a problem of counting. (Contains 6…

Nam, Younkyeong; Karahan, Engin; Roehrig, Gillian – International Journal of Environmental and Science Education, 2016
Geologic time scale is a very important concept for understanding long-term earth system events such as climate change. This study examines forty-three 4th-8th grade Native American--particularly Ojibwe tribe--students' understanding of relative ordering and absolute time of Earth's significant geological and biological events. This study also…

Nicolucci, Sandra – Music Educators Journal, 2010
This article focuses on the nature of the "transitional minutes" in "any" music class. When transitional minutes before, during, and after rehearsals and classes are unplanned and left to chance, much viable and valuable teaching time is lost. When transitional minutes are well structured, learning can proceed efficiently. One…

Mosse, E. K.; Jarrold, C. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2010
Background: The Hebb effect is a form of repetition-driven long-term learning that is thought to provide an analogue for the processes involved in new word learning. Other evidence suggests that verbal short-term memory also constrains now vocabulary acquisition, but if the Hebb effect is independent of short-term memory, then it may be possible…

Delaney, P.F.; Knowles, M.E. – Journal of Memory and Language, 2005
Memory for repeated items often improves when repetitions are separated by other items-a phenomenon called the spacing effect. In two experiments, we explored the complex interaction between study strategies, serial position, and spacing effects. When people studied several unmixed lists, they initially used mainly rote rehearsal, but some people…

Fredericks, Anthony D. – Teacher, 1980
Presented are 13 activities designed to help young students learn and understand the order of events, by leading them to realize that time sequence is part of their everyday lives. (KC)

Pasnak, Robert; And Others – Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, 1995
Twenty-two children (ages 5-8) with mild mental retardation who received learning set instruction on unidimensional classification and seriation improved on these precursors to concrete operations; 22 children who received more conventional instruction did not. Improvement on classification and seriation was accompanied by improvement on measures…

Pearlman, Susan; Pericak-Spector, Kathy – Science and Children, 1994
Seriation, or serial ordering, is a type of classification involving the arrangement of items according to how much of a specific property they possess. Presents several activities for teaching seriation to preschool and kindergarten children. (PR)

Gunter, B. – Journal of Educational Television and Other Media, 1979
An experiment was conducted to examine the effects of presentation mode, picture content, and serial position upon the recall of brief television news items. Fifteen items were presented in either video- or audio-only mode to 40 subjects. The results are discussed in terms of various imagery hypotheses. (Author)

Kotsopoulos, Donna – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 2007
The author's secondary school mathematics students have often reported to her that quadratic relations are one of the most conceptually challenging aspects of the high school curriculum. From her own classroom experiences there seemed to be several aspects to the students' challenges. Many students, even in their early secondary education, have…

Malabonga, Valerie; And Others – Child Study Journal, 1995
Studied effectiveness of instruction in seriation and classification for kindergartners cognitively lagging behind their peers. Found that extensive classification and seriation instruction in a variety of formats was particularly helpful in facilitating cognitive gains for struggling kindergartners. Individualized instruction provided children…

Murr, L. E. – Engineering Education, 1988
Expresses the opinion that education has overemphasized the written word and needs to move back to the oral tradition. Warns that Americans are trained to use the left brain whereas much of engineering needs right brain processing. Gives perspectives to improve engineering education. (MVL)
