Bunt, Byron John; Grosser, Mary; van Tonder, Deon – Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, 2022
In this article, a methodology for utilizing eight Thinking Maps that are linked to a cognitive taxonomy will be explored. Firstly, the various taxonomies focusing on cognitive processes will be elaborated upon, namely Bloom's Taxonomy as well as Barret's Taxonomy that is used in the education system. Following this, the article will explore the…

Suzanne Ruder; Courtney Stanford; Nuha Farhat; Leslie Bolda – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
Students need a strong understanding of how to represent chemical compounds in order to succeed in organic chemistry. This project set out to gain a better understanding of students' difficulties with symbolic representations, by identifying the specific errors associated with drawing wedge-dash structures. The focus was on how students…

Debra S. Osborn; Sabrina N. Quiroga; Edwin Tang; Lyds J. Sherman; Nicholas H. Reese; Khyati Verma; Laura R. Marks – Journal of Career Development, 2024
Social identities impact the way individuals see themselves and their career options but career theories have been slow to the call in exploring how social identities interface with theoretical assumptions. The purpose of this study was to examine how social identities affect and inform specific dimensions identified by cognitive information…

Kalyuga, Slava – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
Adopting an evolutionary approach to substantiate major characteristics of human cognitive architecture has been one of the major recent developments in cognitive load theory. According to this approach, human cognitive architecture is a natural information processing system which can be described by five general principles. This paper attempts to…

Pepin, Guillaume; Fort, Alexandra; Jallais, Christophe; Moreau, Fabien; Ndiaye, Daniel; Navarro, Jordan; Gabaude, Catherine – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
Mind-wandering (MW) has a negative impact on tasks requiring sustained and divided attention like driving. During MW, drivers experience perceptual decoupling. As driving is mainly a visual activity, it would seem to be appropriate to evaluate stages of visual information processing impaired during MW, using event-related potential techniques. The…

Wang, Sufen; Du, Ming; Yu, Rong; Wang, Zhijun; Sun, Jingjing; Wang, Ling – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
It has been controversial whether the matching of learning styles with teaching environment has improved the teaching effects. This paper constructs matching modes by choosing Sternberg's three learning styles (liberal leaning, internal scope and global level) and adopts curriculum comprehensiveness and instructing modes. The research, based on…

Mazefsky, Carla A.; Collier, Amanda; Golt, Josh; Siegle, Greg J. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Emotion dysregulation is common in autism spectrum disorder; a better understanding of the underlying neural mechanisms could inform treatment development. The tendency toward repetitive cognition in autism spectrum disorder may also increase susceptibility to perseverate on distressing stimuli, which may then increase emotion dysregulation.…

Winne, Philip H. – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2018
Background: Deep versus surface knowledge is widely discussed by educational practitioners. A corresponding construct, levels of processing, has received extensive theoretical and empirical attention in learning science and psychology. In both arenas, lower levels of information and shallower levels of processing are predicted and generally…

James P. Sampson Jr. Ed.; Janet G. Lenz Ed.; Emily Bullock-Yowell Ed.; Debra S. Osborn Ed.; Seth C. W. Hayden Ed. – Online Submission, 2023
This book's aim is to improve the integration of Cognitive Information Processing (CIP) theory, research, and practice, leading to more cost-effective career interventions that help persons to make informed and careful career decisions over a lifetime. The starting point for the book's content was the 2004 Sampson, Reardon, Peterson, and Lenz…

Jena, Ananta Kumar; Panda, Bhujendranath – Journal on Educational Psychology, 2017
The study aimed to know how does mind-map software assess the representation of learners' knowledge and how brain tester software assess the performance of left, right, auditory, and visual lobes of the brain to represent information. It also aimed to study the differential effectiveness of audio, visual, and audio-visual information to represent…

Çeliköz, Nadir; Erisen, Yavuz; Sahin, Mehmet – Online Submission, 2019
Why the brain is the most incredible network of information processing and interpretation in the body as we learn things is the scope of the Cognitive Learning Theories. When we use the word "learning", we usually mean "to think using the brain". Therefore, the basic concept of learning is the main viewpoint in the Cognitive…

Novak, Elena; Daday, Jerry; McDaniel, Kerrie – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2018
This empirical study used Keller's (Technol Instr Cogn Learn 16:79-104, 2008b) motivation, volition, and performance (MVP) theory to develop and statistically evaluate a mathematical MVP model that can serve as a research and policy tool for evaluating students' learning experiences in digital environments. Specifically, it explored undergraduate…

Vogan, V. M.; Morgan, B. R.; Leung, R. C.; Anagnostou, E.; Doyle-Thomas, K.; Taylor, M. J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2016
Diffusion tensor imaging studies show white matter (WM) abnormalities in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, investigations are often limited by small samples, particularly problematic given the heterogeneity of ASD. We explored WM using DTI in a large sample of 130 children and adolescents (7-15 years) with and without ASD,…

Lamb, Richard L.; Firestone, Jonah B. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2017
Conflicting explanations and unrelated information in science classrooms increase cognitive load and decrease efficiency in learning. This reduced efficiency ultimately limits one's ability to solve reasoning problems in the science. In reasoning, it is the ability of students to sift through and identify critical pieces of information that is of…

Herold, Kristiina; Sipilä, Jenni; Tarkiainen, Anssi; Sundqvist, Sanna – Journal of Marketing for Higher Education, 2017
The purpose of this paper is to assess the effect of service values on the processing of word-of-mouth (WOM) information, and their impact on a complex belief in a high-involvement service context. Hypotheses are tested on survey data collected from 378 respondents facing a high-involvement service choice. The results suggest that two distinct…
