Kligler, Nitzan; Gabay, Yafit – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2023
Structural patterns existing in language can be exploited for implicit prediction of sequences in speech and visual input via a process termed statistical learning (SL). Despite extensive examination of SL in dyslexia, whether SL problems arise from modality-constrained learning processes or from global learning processes is still unknown, nor is…

Marília Nunes-Silva; Gleidiane Salomé; Fernando Lopes Gonçalves; Thenille Braun Janzen; Benjamin Rich Zendel – Research Studies in Music Education, 2024
Music performance is an intensive sensorimotor task that involves the generation of mental representations of musical information that are actively accessed, maintained, and manipulated according to the demands of the performance. Internal representations and external information interact through feedback and feedforward processes that adjust the…

Vogt, Andrea; Babel, Franziska; Hock, Philipp; Baumann, Martin; Seufert, Tina – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
Presenting a pictorial representation followed by a textual representation supports learners to build a coherent mental model. Providing an elaboration prompt stimulates learners to process the learning content semantically. Hence, combining both approaches might result in synergetic effects as both foster mental model development, which could be…

Kempe, Vera; Gauvrit, Nicolas; Panayotov, Nikolay; Cunningham, Sheila; Tamariz, Monica – Cognitive Science, 2021
Iterated language learning experiments that explore the emergence of linguistic structure in the laboratory vary considerably in methodological implementation, limiting the generalizability of findings. Most studies also restrict themselves to exploring the emergence of combinatorial and compositional structure in isolation. Here, we use a novel…

Albus, Patrick; Seufert, Tina – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
When Virtual Reality (VR) is used to present learning content, the three-dimensional image is often not sufficient and additional text is required, either in the form of visual or auditory text. Such additional instructional text could be particularly beneficial due to the many visual stimuli and the risk of visual working memory overload.…

Jasso, Tania; Alva, Elda A. – Journal for the Study of Education and Development, 2022
The purpose of this study was to investigate sub-lexical segmentation in Spanish-speaking children based on the perception of regular syllables (pseudomorphemes), as well as their association with a visual referent. Both of these skills are the precursors to learning morphology for language acquisition. Twenty-three 12-month-old children…

Alba López-Moraga; Laura Luyten; Tom Beckers – npj Science of Learning, 2024
Pervasive avoidance is one of the central symptoms of all anxiety-related disorders. In treatment, avoidance behaviors are typically discouraged because they are assumed to maintain anxiety. Yet, it is not clear if engaging in avoidance is always detrimental. In this study, we used a platform-mediated avoidance task to investigate the influence of…

Vasudevan, Krithika; Ramanathan, Karthik R.; Vierkant, Valerie; Maren, Stephen – Learning & Memory, 2022
Recent data reveal that the thalamic nucleus reuniens (RE) has a critical role in the extinction of conditioned fear. Muscimol (MUS) infusions into the RE impair within-session extinction of conditioned freezing and result in poor long-term extinction memories in rats. Although this suggests that RE inactivation impairs extinction learning, it is…

Ludvigsson, David; Stolare, Martin; Trenter, Cecilia – Education 3-13, 2022
Haptics in the sense of active touch, as well as internally felt bodily sensations, add an important dimension to learning sessions at historical sites. Drawing on observations of primary school pupils visiting historical sites in Sweden, and interviews with pupils, teachers, and site educators following the visits, this study investigates in…

Dylman, Alexandra S.; Champoux-Larsson, Marie-France – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2022
Learning new information constitutes a fundamental part of children's school years. Recently, studies have found beneficial effects of emotion on learning and memory. Here, we specifically examined the effect of positive emotional prosody on content learning in two groups of Swedish school children (ages 8-10 and 11-13 years). The participants…

Roark, Casey L.; Lehet, Matthew I.; Dick, Frederic; Holt, Lori L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Category learning is fundamental to cognition, but little is known about how it proceeds in real-world environments when learners do not have instructions to search for category-relevant information, do not make overt category decisions, and do not experience direct feedback. Prior research demonstrates that listeners can acquire task-irrelevant…

Wang, Min; Shen, Huiyang; Boland, Julie E.; Wei, Hang – Modern Language Journal, 2021
This study investigates how visual context influences second language (L2) long-term structural priming for the Chinese "ba" construction. The experiment consisted of a baseline phase, an exposure phase, an immediate posttest, and a delayed posttest. L2 Chinese learners (N = 120) were assigned to 1 of 4 groups for the exposure…

Marecka, Marta; McDonald, Alison; Madden, Gillian; Fosker, Tim – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
Research suggests that second language words are learned faster when they are similar in phonological structure or accent to the words of an individual's first language. Many major theories suggest this happens because of differences in frequency of exposure and context between first and second language words. Here, we examine the independent…

Taylor, William W.; Imhoff, Barry R.; Sathi, Zakia Sultana; Liu, Wei Y.; Garza, Kristie M.; Dias, Brian G. – Learning & Memory, 2021
Dysfunctions in memory recall lead to pathological fear; a hallmark of trauma-related disorders, like posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Both, heightened recall of an association between a cue and trauma, as well as impoverished recall that a previously trauma-related cue is no longer a threat, result in a debilitating fear toward the cue.…

Escudero, Paola; Smit, Eline A.; Angwin, Anthony J. – Language Learning, 2023
Research has shown that novel words can be learned through the mechanism of statistical or cross-situational word learning (CSWL). So far, CSWL studies using adult populations have focused on the presentation of spoken words. However, words can also be learned through their written form. This study compared auditory and orthographic presentations…
