Direct linkMurphy, Dillon H. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2023
We examined potentially selective offloading decisions when the external store has a limited capacity and how the surprising unavailability of offloaded information influences subsequent offloading decision-making and memory. In three experiments, learners were presented with to-be-remembered words paired with point values counting towards their…

Recent research shows that the quality of a baseline (i.e., the analysis of one's behavior in normal conditions) decreases when the second narrative is expected and deceitful. However, a first step would be to investigate whether the writing of a first narrative might influence the second, independently of its expectancy. In this study, we…

Rheem, Hansol; Vaughn Becker, D.; Craig, Scotty D. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
Technology has enabled various alternative educational platforms, such as online courses. Compared to human instructors in traditional educational environments, alternative platforms often show a limited capacity to evaluate the learning progress of students and implement intervention strategies based on the evaluation. Here, we tested…

Jarosz, Andrew F.; Jaeger, Allison J. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2019
Word problems embed a math equation within a short narrative. Due to their structure, both numerical and linguistic factors can contribute to problem difficulty. The present studies explored the role of irrelevant information in word problems, to determine whether its negative impact is due to numerical (foregrounding hypothesis) or linguistic…

Wang, Li; Cao, Chen; Zhou, Xinlin; Qi, Chunxia – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
Open math problem solving is critical to help students deepen the understanding and promote transfer of mathematics knowledge. However, the cognitive mechanism for open math problem solving, particularly the role of spatial abilities, has not been paid enough attention. This study recruited 192 junior middle school students (14.30 ± 0.48 years…

Liu, Xiaoxing; Thomas, Geb W.; Cook, Susan W. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2018
Pointing to locations can either help or hinder people's ability to recall spatial information. Prior research has focused on two-dimensional spatial memory and pointing in real world tasks. The effect of pointing on three-dimensional spatial memory in virtual environments remains unexplored. We examine this effect by comparing participants'…
