Wuji Lin; Chenxi Lv; Jiejie Liao; Yuan Hu; Yutong Liu; Jingyuan Lin – npj Science of Learning, 2024
The debate about whether the capacity of working memory (WM) varies with the complexity of memory items continues. This study employed novel experimental materials to investigate the role of complexity in WM capacity. Across seven experiments, we explored the relationship between complexity and WM capacity. The results indicated that the…

Taewon Kim; Hakjoo Kim; Benjamin A. Philip; David L. Wright – npj Science of Learning, 2024
The primary motor cortex (M1) is crucial for motor skill learning. We examined its role in interleaved practice, which enhances retention (vs. repetitive practice) through M1-dependent consolidation. We hypothesized that cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (ctDCS) to M1 would disrupt retention. We found that ctDCS reduced retention…

Jaime Balladares; Martín Miranda; Karen Cordova – Early Years: An International Journal of Research and Development, 2024
The study evaluated the effects of board games on children in a range of cognitive areas, considering both inclusion (i.e. pre- and post-comparisons, playing style [board games], participants belonging to PreKinder and Kindergarten, and experimental approach) and exclusion criteria (i.e. video games). Nineteen articles were selected using both…

Irina Shcheglova; Jamie Costley; Elena Gorbunova; Christopher Lange – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2025
Although satisfaction with academic experience in the context of higher education has been an area of research for nearly 40 years, it is still unclear how pedagogical practices in the development of thinking skills are related to students' satisfaction. This study aims to investigate the relationships between students' satisfaction and the levels…

Brigid McNeill; Gail Gillon; Megan Gath; Lianne Woodward – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2025
Background: Early childhood is a critical period of language development. Yet less is known about how language growth relates to the development of phoneme awareness and cognitive flexibility during this period. Aims: To examine the longitudinal associations between growth in phonological awareness and cognitive flexibility from 4 to 5 years in…

Mary Katherine Watson; Elise M. Barrella; Kevin Skenes – Journal of Civil Engineering Education, 2024
At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Citadel transitioned from a face-to-face to an emergency online modality. We conducted a study to track changes in self-directed learning readiness (SDLR) among engineering students during the Spring 2020 semester, including trends based on demographic, performance, and cognitive load factors. SDLR was…

Julia Waldeyer; Tino Endres; Julian Roelle; Martine Baars; Alexander Renkl – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
The present study was designed to understand and optimize self-assessment accuracy in cognitive skill acquisition through example-based learning. We focused on the initial problem-solving phase, which follows after studying worked examples. At the end of this phase, it is important that learners are aware whether they have already understood the…

Feyza Kurban – Problems of Education in the 21st Century, 2024
This study explores how pre-service mathematics teachers' spatial visualisation skills evolved during a Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) based education. The study used the qualitative theory-testing case study method, which guided the identification of participants, the design of technology-supported education, and the data collection and analysis…

Yaqian Xu; Yang Yang – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
A new mode of knowledge production, known as the 'organic growth pattern', has emerged within the online learning environment. It exhibits several unique features, such as iterative growth, fuelled by collective intelligence, fuzzy complexity, etc. It is more valuable and adaptable to support knowledge innovation within rapidly changing fields. To…

Nizaruddin; Kusmaryono, Imam – International Journal of Educational Methodology, 2023
This exploratory and descriptive study aims to theoretically promote the schema of pseudo-thinking processes in mathematical problem-solving by students. The participants in this study were 36 eighth graders and one math teacher. The researchers collected the data using tests and interviews. The results showed that the structure of pseudo-thinking…

Liu Liu; Yue Chen; Yubin Cao; Lei Yang; Yiyan Yang; Yantong Li; Dingming Huang; Ling Ye; Qinghua Zheng – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2025
Anatomy forms the foundation for the training and execution of routine surgical procedures. However, a gap persists in effectively bridging anatomical knowledge with the confident performance of procedures. Virtual simulation (VS) techniques, based on experiential and situated learning theory, hold promise in addressing this challenge.…

Dimov, Cvetomir M.; Anderson, John R.; Betts, Shawn A.; Bothell, Dan – Cognitive Science, 2023
We studied collaborative skill acquisition in a dynamic setting with the game Co-op Space Fortress. While gaining expertise, the majority of subjects became increasingly consistent in the role they adopted without being able to communicate. Moreover, they acted in anticipation of the future task state. We constructed a collaborative skill…

Anja Strobel; Alexander Strobel; Franzis Preckel; Ricarda Steinmayr – AERA Open, 2024
While intelligence and motivational variables are well-established predictors of academic achievement, Need for Cognition (NFC), the stable intrinsic motivation to engage in and enjoy challenging intellectual activity, has not yet been considered comprehensively in this field, especially not longitudinally. By applying latent change score…

Su-Young Bae; Sumi Kwon; Jee-Ye Lee – International Journal of Music Education, 2025
This study investigated the effects of a practice checklist on performance achievement, practice time, focal practice areas--the key musical elements students focused on during practice--and practice strategies among non-music major South Korean college students learning the "Danso," a traditional Korean wind instrument. Ninety-six…
