Interplay among Self-Regulation Processes Over Time for Adolescents in the Context of Chronic Stress
Peer reviewed
Direct linkAmanda E. Halliburton; Desiree W. Murray; Ty A. Ridenour – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
Developmental changes in self-regulation are theorized to underlie adolescents' engagement in risky behaviors, physical health, mental health, and transition to adulthood. Two central processes involved in self-regulation, self-management (i.e. planning, concentration, and problem-solving) and disinhibition (e.g. distractibility and impulsivity)…

Armitage, Kristy L.; Redshaw, Jonathan – Child Development, 2022
Ninety-seven children aged 4-11 (49 males, 48 females, mostly White) were given the opportunity to improve their problem-solving performance by devising and implementing a novel cognitive offloading strategy. Across two phases, they searched for hidden rewards using maps that were either aligned or misaligned with the search space. In the second…

Yilmaz, Eyüp; Griffiths, Mark D. – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Playing games can be one of the most important activities for children to improve their social problem-solving (SPS) skills. Studies that have examined the empirical evidence of playing games concerning children's SPS skills have tended to focus on the function of a single game. Therefore, an overview study is needed to generalize the data by the…

Török, Georgina; Swaboda, Nora; Ruggeri, Azzurra – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Previous research shows that children evaluate the competence of others based on how effectively someone accomplished a goal, that is, based on the observed outcome of an action (e.g., number of attempts needed). Here, we investigate whether 5- to 10-year-old children and adults infer competence from how efficiently someone solves a task by…

Personality Predicts Innovation and Social Learning in Children: Implications for Cultural Evolution
Rawlings, Bruce S.; Flynn, Emma G.; Kendal, Rachel L. – Developmental Science, 2022
Innovation and social learning are the pillars of cultural evolution, allowing cultural behaviours to cumulatively advance over generations. Yet, little is known about individual differences in the use of social and asocial information. We examined whether personality influenced 7-11-year-old children's (N = 282) propensity to elect to observe…

The focus of Design and Technology (D&T) education (Wilson & Harris, 2004) has been on designing and making activities and in developing technological capabilities amongst students. Innovation is an important aspect of D&T that helps in creating new products and artefacts to overcome the limitations of existing ones. Problem solving…

Vogelaar, Bart; Resing, Wilma C. M.; Stad, Femke E. – Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, 2020
This study investigated potential differences in the processes of solving analogies between gifted and average-ability children (aged 9-10 years old) in a dynamic testing setting. Utilizing a pre-test-training-post-test control group design, participants were split in four subgroups: gifted dynamic testing (n = 24), gifted control (n = 26),…

Camarda, Anaëlle; Bouhours, Lison; Osmont, Anaïs; Le Masson, Pascal; Weil, Benoît; Borst, Grégoire; Cassotti, Mathieu – Creativity Research Journal, 2021
The aim of the present study was to examine how social evaluation influences creative idea generation, and whether this effect develops with age. To do so, early adolescents, middle adolescents, and late adolescents performed a creative task either alone or under the supervision of an adult examiner. Three major findings emerged: 1) the social…

Raccanello, Daniela; Rocca, Emmanuela; Barnaba, Veronica; Vicentini, Giada; Hall, Rob; Brondino, Margherita – Child & Youth Care Forum, 2023
Background: Following disasters, children and adolescents can use coping strategies to feel better. A growing body of studies investigated the relation between them and maladjustment/adjustment, i.e., negative symptomatology/positive indicators of development. Yet, these constructs are studied separately. Objective: We conducted two meta-analyses…

M.; Dionne, Ginette; Brendgen, Mara; Vitaro, Frank; Tremblay, Richard E.; Boivin, Michel; Kovas, Yulia – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
Background: The number line task assesses the ability to estimate numerical magnitudes. People vary greatly in this ability, and this variability has been previously associated with mathematical skills. However, the sources of individual differences in number line estimation and its association with mathematics are not fully understood. Aims: This…

Naude, Tracy; Dada, Shakila; Bornman, Juan – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2022
Children with intellectual disabilities experience well-documented challenges in the development of problem-solving, particularly related to mathematical word-problem solving. Such challenges are related to both linguistic and conceptual skills. While interventions to assist children in developing conceptual skills are well reported, linguistic…

Greiner de Magalhães, Caroline; Mervis, Carolyn B.; Cardoso-Martins, Cláudia – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
We examined the contribution of a major predictor of basic literacy ability--phoneme awareness--to individual differences in two arithmetic computation tasks: a speeded task consisting of simple computation problems (arithmetic fluency) and an untimed, more complex computation task involving multi-digit operands (numerical operations). The…

Zebehazy, Kim T.; Weber, Rachel C.; Murphy, Meagan; Ghani, Aisha – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2020
Introduction: Divergent thinking is a crucial component of effective problem-solving. This study investigated the divergent thinking of students with visual impairments (i.e., blindness or low vision) in three countries and explored the correlates of their performance on two tasks. Methods: A sample of 52 students with visual impairments completed…

Israel-Fishelson, Rotem; Hershkovitz, Arnon – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2020
Persistence has proven to be a great challenge in online learning environments. Gaming and interactivity have been suggested as essential features in reducing dropout and increasing persistence in online learning. Yet in interactive game-based learning environments, persistence in moving forward in the game may come at the expense of investing in…

Bers, Marina Umaschi – MIT Press, 2022
Today, schools are introducing STEM education and robotics to children in ever-lower grades. In "Beyond Coding," Marina Umaschi Bers lays out a pedagogical roadmap for teaching code that encompasses the cultivation of character along with technical knowledge and skills. Presenting code as a universal language, she shows how children…
