Godolphin, Peter J.; White, Ian R.; Tierney, Jayne F.; Fisher, David J. – Research Synthesis Methods, 2023
Estimation of within-trial interactions in meta-analysis is crucial for reliable assessment of how treatment effects vary across participant subgroups. However, current methods have various limitations. Patients, clinicians and policy-makers need reliable estimates of treatment effects within specific covariate subgroups, on relative and absolute…

Anreiter, Ina; Sokolowski, H. Moriah; Sokolowski, Marla B. – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2018
Individuals of the same species display remarkable variation in behavior, even in identical contexts. Increasing complexity in behavioral phenotypes brings with it an increase in individual variation in the manifestation of those phenotypes, and human behavior undoubtedly stands at the pinnacle of complexity. In this article, we discuss current…

Pawlak, Miroslaw – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2022
Research into the role of individual difference (ID) factors in the process of second and foreign language (L2) learning and teaching has been one of the most robust lines of inquiry in the field of second language acquisition (SLA; Dörnyei & Ryan, 2015; Griffiths & Soruç, 2020; Pawlak & Kruk, 2022). Most of these empirical…

Heinrich, Antje – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2021
Listening to speech in a noisy background is difficult for everyone. While such listening has historically been considered mainly in the context of auditory processing, the role of cognition has attracted considerable interest in recent years. This has been particularly true in the context of life-span research and the comparison of younger and…

Zeidner, Moshe – High Ability Studies, 2019
In this closing chapter and commentary to the special issue of "High Ability Studies" focusing on self-regulated learning (SRL) in gifted, high ability, and talented students, I delineate a number of promising challenges and directions for future theory, methodology, research, and applications in the domain of self-regulated learning. I…

Sparks, Richard L. – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2022
This paper examines evidence for relationships among individual differences (IDs) in L1 achievement, L2 aptitude, and L2 achievement. It begins by providing an overview of my academic journey from L1 educator to L2 researcher and explains the development of the Linguistic Coding Differences Hypothesis (LCDH). Next, I review Peter Skehan's…

McMullen, Jake; Verschaffel, Lieven; Hannula-Sormunen, Minna M. – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2020
Children's own spontaneous mathematical activities are crucial for their mathematical development. Mathematical thinking and learning does not only occur in explicitly mathematical situations, such as the classroom. Those children with higher tendencies to recognize and use mathematical aspects of their everyday surroundings, both within the…

DeKeyser, Robert – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2016
In this short article I try to present a taxonomy of sources of difficulty, in particular complexity. I emphasize how these factors interact with each other and with individual differences and treatments, before illustrating some of these interactions and the methodological issues involved in studying them with examples from the empirical studies…

Zeidner, Moshe; Matthews, Gerald – Gifted Education International, 2017
This article aims at shedding light on the emotional intelligence (EI) of gifted and high ability students. We begin by presenting a brief overview of EI theory and research and its relevance to gifted education. We then present theoretical considerations bearing on the nature of the relationship between cognitive and EI. This is followed by a…

Boucheix, Jean-Michel – Frontline Learning Research, 2017
This article introduces this special issue of "Frontline Learning Research." The first paper offers a methodological guide using Ericsson & Smith's (1991) "expert performance approach." This is followed by three papers that analyze the use of eye tracking in visual expertise models, and a paper reviewing the use of methods…

Whitehurst, Grover – Center on Children and Families at Brookings, 2018
The standard model of the role of early experience in human development assumes that children's environments in their first years of life are dominant influences on who they become as adults. The standard model favors interventions to improve children's long-term outcomes that start early in life and are intensive in time and attention from…

Swearer, Susan M.; Wang, Cixin; Berry, Brandi; Myers, Zachary R. – Theory Into Practice, 2014
Social cognitive theory (SCT) is an important heuristic for understanding the complexity of bullying behaviors and the social nature of involvement in bullying. Bullying has been heralded as a social relationship problem, and the interplay between the individual and his or her social environment supports this conceptualization. SCT has been used…

Tulis, Maria; Steuer, Gabriele; Dresel, Markus – Frontline Learning Research, 2016
Errors bear the potential to improve knowledge acquisition, provided that learners are able to deal with them in an adaptive and reflexive manner. However, learners experience a host of different--often impeding or maladaptive--emotional and motivational states in the face of academic errors. Research has made few attempts to develop a theory that…

van Ravenzwaaij, Don; Brown, Scott; Wagenmakers, Eric-Jan – Cognition, 2011
Research in the field of mental chronometry and individual differences has revealed several robust regularities (Jensen, 2006). These include right-skewed response time (RT) distributions, the worst performance rule, correlations with general intelligence ("g") that are more pronounced for RT standard deviations (RTSD) than they are for RT means…

Luciana, Monica; Wahlstrom, Dustin; Porter, James N.; Collins, Paul F. – Developmental Psychology, 2012
Behavioral activation that is associated with incentive-reward motivation increases in adolescence relative to childhood and adulthood. This quadratic developmental pattern is generally supported by behavioral and experimental neuroscience findings. It is suggested that a focus on changes in dopamine neurotransmission is informative in…
