Hollis R. Heim; Kara Lowery; Rachel Eddings; Bhoomika Nikam; Anastasia Kerr-German; Aaron T. Buss – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
Previous research suggests that children's ability to label visual features (e.g. "red") and dimensions (e.g. "color") impacts attention to visual dimensions. The goal of this study is to investigate variations in the quality of the neural system supporting dimensional label comprehension and production in relation to…

Zhou, Xin; Wang, Luchang; Hong, Xuancu; Wong, Patrick C. M. – Developmental Science, 2024
The speech register that adults especially caregivers use when interacting with infants and toddlers, that is, infant-directed speech (IDS) or baby talk, has been reported to facilitate language development throughout the early years. However, the neural mechanisms as well as why IDS results in such a developmental faciliatory effect remain to be…

Elsa Raynal; Kate Schipper; Catherine Brandner; Paolo Ruggeri; Jérôme Barral – npj Science of Learning, 2024
Associative learning abilities vary considerably among individuals, with attentional processes suggested to play a role in these variations. However, the relationship between attentional processes and individual differences in associative learning remains unclear, and whether these variations reflect in event-related potentials (ERPs) is unknown.…

Chi-Chuan Chen; Ilaria Berteletti; Daniel C. Hyde – Developmental Science, 2024
Symbolic numeracy first emerges as children learn the meanings of number words and how to use them to precisely count sets of objects. This development starts before children enter school and forms a foundation for lifelong mathematics achievement. Despite its importance, exactly how children acquire this basic knowledge is unclear. Here we test…

Sumardani, Dadan; Lin, Chih-Hung – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Virtual Reality (VR) has gained popularity in educational fields enabling new learning possibilities. In the implementation process, VR could improve learning by increasing positive affective and cognitive processing, whereas VR also could hurt learning by increasing distraction and leading to poorer learning outcomes. Thus, understanding the…

Serrien, Deborah J.; O'Regan, Louise – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Hemispheric lateralisation is a fundamental principle of functional brain organisation. We studied two core cognitive functions--language and visuospatial attention--that typically lateralise in opposite cerebral hemispheres. In this work, we tested both left- and right-handed participants on lexical decision-making as well as on symmetry…

Centanni, T. M.; Beach, S. D.; Ozernov-Palchik, O.; May, S.; Pantazis, D.; Gabrieli, J. D. E. – Annals of Dyslexia, 2022
Developmental dyslexia is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that is associated with alterations in the behavioral and neural processing of speech sounds, but the scope and nature of that association is uncertain. It has been proposed that more variable auditory processing could underlie some of the core deficits in this disorder. In the current…

Arredondo, Maria M.; Aslin, Richard N.; Werker, Janet F. – Developmental Science, 2022
A bilingual environment is associated with changes in the brain's structure and function. Some suggest that bilingualism also improves higher-cognitive functions in infants as young as 6-months, yet whether this effect is associated with changes in the infant brain remains unknown. In the present study, we measured brain activity using functional…

Guerra, Giada; Tierney, Adam; Tijms, Jurgen; Vaessen, Anniek; Bonte, Milene; Dick, Frederic – Developmental Science, 2024
Auditory selective attention forms an important foundation of children's learning by enabling the prioritisation and encoding of relevant stimuli. It may also influence reading development, which relies on metalinguistic skills including the awareness of the sound structure of spoken language. Reports of attentional impairments and speech…

Ghada Amaireh; Line Caes; Aimee Theyer; Christina Davidson; Sobanawartiny Wijeakumar – Infant and Child Development, 2024
Caregiver executive functions (EFs) play an integral role in shaping cognitive development. Here, we investigated how caregiver EF abilities (86 caregivers; "mean age" = 33.4 years, SD = 4.5) was associated with visual working memory (VWM) in infants (86 infants females; mean age = 250.6 days, SD = 35.8). The BRIEF-A was used to assess…

Wang, Yen-Yin; Weng, Tz-Han; Tsai, I-Fan; Kao, Jing-Yueh; Chang, Yu-Shan – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2023
The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of virtual reality (VR) application on creative performance and immersion, evaluated through electroencephalography brain wave data to achieve accurate and robust results. In this study, 72 middle school teachers were recruited as participants, and a non-randomized control-group…

L. Rodrigo Patino; Allison S. Wilson; Maxwell J. Tallman; Thomas J. Blom; Melissa P. DelBello; Robert K. McNamara – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2024
Objective: To compare neurofunctional responses in emotional and attentional networks of psychostimulant-free ADHD youth with and without familial risk for bipolar I disorder (BD). Methods: ADHD youth with (high-risk, HR, n = 48) and without (low-risk, LR, n = 50) a first-degree relative with BD and healthy controls (n = 46) underwent functional…

Carlos Valiente-Barroso; Marta Arguedas-Morales; Rafael Marcos-Sánchez; Marta Martínez-Vicente – Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology, 2024
Introduction: The objective of this study was to analyze the relationships between perceived stress, frustration tolerance, prefrontal symptomatology and attentional profile in students of secondary education. Method: The study was designed with a nonexperimental, quantitative, cross-sectional and correlational methodology, with 91 participants…

Marc Brookes Harrison – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Memory is expressed in multiple functionally and anatomically distinct systems that interact over the course of learning and during the retrieval of information about the world. One method to determine the kind of memory representation (episodic and/or procedural) guiding behavior is to look at the expression of expectations (i.e., predictions) in…

Taweesak Emsawas; Tsukasa Kimura; Shintaro Ogura; Hironori Morita; Ergashov Abdullajon; Bernard Grundlehner; Mototsugu Ogura; Masayuki Numao – Discover Education, 2025
Second-language (L2) knowledge of English is an essential communication tool in the contemporary era of globalization in many research and business fields. Among the important tasks in English education is the measurement of student proficiency. While various tests purport to measure proficiency in learning English, repeated preparation and…
