Kim, Dan; Opfer, John E. – Cognitive Science, 2021
Perceptual judgments result from a dynamic process, but little is known about the dynamics of number-line estimation. A recent study proposed a computational model that combined a model of trial-to-trial changes with a model for the internal scaling of discrete numbers. Here, we tested a surprising prediction of the model--a situation in which…

Martínez-Huertas, José Á.; Jorge-Botana, Guillermo; Olmos, Ricardo – Cognitive Science, 2021
We present a longitudinal computational study on the connection between emotional and amodal word representations from a developmental perspective. In this study, children's and adult word representations were generated using the latent semantic analysis (LSA) vector space model and Word Maturity methodology. Some children's word representations…

Sasisekaran, Jayanthi; Lei, Xiaofan – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: We investigated developmental differences in a dual task involving rhyming and tone judgment/decisions and the effects of varying cognitive demands on task performance. Method: Participants were 7- to 11-year-olds, 12- to 15-year-olds, and adults between 18 and 40 years (n = 19 per group). The rhyming task consisted of three stimuli…

O'Leary, Allison P.; Sloutsky, Vladimir M. – Developmental Psychology, 2019
It is often argued that metacognition includes 2 components: monitoring and control. However, it is unclear whether these components can operate independently, or whether they always operate as part of a hierarchy. The current study attempts to address this issue. In Experiment 1 (N = 90), age-related differences were assessed to examine the…

Iordanou, Kalypso; Muis, Krista R.; Kendeou, Panayiota – Journal of Experimental Education, 2019
Relations between epistemic perspective and online epistemic processing of evidence when reading a text were examined. Thirty-seven young adolescents and 24 graduate university students were asked to read and think aloud with two texts, one in the history domain and the other in the science domain. Participants also completed a prior-knowledge…

Weststrate, Nic M.; Glück, Judith – Developmental Psychology, 2017
Laypersons and experts believe that wisdom is cultivated through a diverse range of positive and negative life experiences. Yet, not all individuals with life experience are wise. We propose that one possible determinant of growth in wisdom from life experience is self-reflection. In a life span sample of adults (N = 94) ranging from 26 to 92…

Rollins, Leslie; Riggins, Tracy – Developmental Science, 2013
The aim of the present study was to investigate developmental changes in encoding processes between 6-year-old children and adults using event-related potentials (ERPs). Although episodic memory ("EM") effects have been reported in both children and adults at retrieval and subsequent memory effects have been established in adults, no…

Heischman, Daniel R. – Independent School, 2010
In "Speaking of Faith," radio journalist Krista Tippett recalls the time when she began to recognize the hypocrisy and contradictions in the behavior of the people around her. Tippett's experience is not only far from unusual, it is formative. It led her to make some important decisions in her life, including the desire never to live a life of…

Tomporowski, Phillip D.; Davis, Catherine L.; Miller, Patricia H.; Naglieri, Jack A. – Educational Psychology Review, 2008
Studies that examine the effects of exercise on children's intelligence, cognition, or academic achievement were reviewed and results were discussed in light of (a) contemporary cognitive theory development directed toward exercise, (b) recent research demonstrating the salutary effects of exercise on adults' cognitive functioning, and (c) studies…

Ladouceur, Cecile D.; Dahl, Ronald E.; Carter, Cameron S. – Developmental Science, 2007
In this study we examined the development of three action monitoring event-related potentials (ERPs)--the error-related negativity (ERN/Ne), error positivity (P[subscript E]) and the N2--and estimated their neural sources. These ERPs were recorded during a flanker task in the following groups: early adolescents (mean age = 12 years), late…

Deitch, Howard L.; Jones, Judith A. – Journal of Clinical Psychology, 1983
Investigated possible relationships between stages of ego development and several different facets of personal constructs in 60 subjects who represented a broad range of ego functioning. Results showed a statistically significant relationship between ego level and frequency of use of three content categories. (Author/JAC)

Uttal, David H.; Fisher, Joan A.; Taylor, Holly A. – Developmental Science, 2006
People acquire spatial information from many sources, including maps, verbal descriptions, and navigating in the environment. The different sources present spatial information in different ways. For example, maps can show many spatial relations simultaneously, but in a description, each spatial relation must be presented sequentially. The present…

Guttentag, Robert; Dunn, Jennifer – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2003
Used pictorial stimuli to test for revelation effect with 4- and 8-year-olds and adults. Found reliable revelation effect at all ages, indicating the complex fluency-of-processing discrepancy detection and attribution mechanisms thought to be responsible for the effect function similarly from 4 years through adulthood. Found recognition decisions…
