Mohammadreza Jalaeian Taghadomi – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Law enforcement officers can come into conflict with suspects when they need to act fast under time pressure. Improving such a decision-making skill is a challenge in a police academy. Academies can train future officers in correct psychomotor responses to attacks by a suspect. However, the ability to anticipate such attacks, and thereby make more…

Razieh Fathi – ProQuest LLC, 2021
This dissertation describes an experiment to investigate how learners with different levels of background in computer science learn core concepts of computer science, in particular, algorithms. We designed a study to focus on cognitive task analysis for eliciting the empirical mental elements of learning two graph algorithms. Cognitive workload…

Lahat, Ayelet; Helwig, Charles C.; Zelazo, Philip David – Cognitive Development, 2012
Moral and conventional violations are usually judged differently: Only moral violations are treated as independent of social rules. To investigate the cognitive processing involved in the development of this distinction, undergraduates (N = 34), adolescents (N = 34), and children (N = 14) read scenarios presented on a computer that had 1 of 3…

Mitnik, Ruben; Nussbaum, Miguel; Recabarren, Matias – Educational Technology & Society, 2009
Cognition, faculty related to perception, imagination, memory, and problem solving, refers to internal mental processes through which sensorial input is acquired, elaborated, used, and stored. One of its importances relies on the fact that it affects in a direct way the learning potential. It has been shown that, even thou cognitive processes…

Feer, Michael – 1985
The report discusses a program incorporating cognitive therapy with microcomputer technology for head injured students. The goals of cognitive rehabilitation are introduced, the nature and extent of the head injury problem analyzed, and social, emotional, and educational considerations of adolescent head injury illustrated through a case study.…

Aschauer, Mary Ann; White, Fred D. – 1984
Word processing programs offer five capabilities that can help students over the physical and psychological constraints associated with writing. First, producing text on a word processor is more tentative and more noncommital than producing text on paper. This reassures the writer that it is all right to experiment with words. Second, the blinking…

Nolan, Pat; Ryba, Ken – 1986
The first is a series of booklets which present a new model for assessing and developing the thinking processes in which learners engage as they work at each Logo level, this booklet focuses on the method for assessing learning at the levels of basic Turtle commands, repeats, and procedures. It contains all the necessary materials--checklists,…

Steinberg, Esther R. – Contemporary Educational Psychology, 1980
Faced with a problem in which the probability of obtaining the correct answer was 70 percent, 2 of 23 kindergartners and 18 of 19 second graders generated an appropriate strategy. When the probability of a chance correct response was reduced to .45, 23 of 35 kindergartners generated an appropriate strategy. (Author/GDC)

Pontecorvo, Clotilde; Paoletti, Gisella – Rassegna Italiana di Linguistica Applicata, 1989
The results of a research project designed to study possible uses of the computer in the language arts classroom, and to identify the effect on children's cognitive and linguistic development are presented. Subjects were 22 second graders who used two different software programs (Storia Chiusa and Storia Aperta) to complete stories. (CFM)

Bowen, Susan; And Others – Gifted Education International, 1992
This study compared the use by 6 gifted and 6 nongifted students (ages 10 and 11) of a software package designed to develop cognitive control strategies. Bright students more often used a plan in their strategy, offered suggestions for improving the software, and monitored their own performance. (Author/DB)

Takaoka, Ryo; Okamoto, Toshio – 1994
As a person learns, his problem solving ability improves and one reason for this is the increased acquisition of "macro-rules" which make problem solving more efficient. An intelligent computer assisted learning (ICAI) system is being developed which automatically acquires the useful knowledge from the domain experts; as experts give the learning…

Patterson, Janice H.; Smith, Marshall S. – 1986
This report presents a national agenda for research on the learning of thinking skills via computer technology which was developed at a National Academy of Sciences conference on educational, methodological, and practical issues involved in the use of computers to promote complex thought in grades K-12. The discussion of research topics agreed…

Higgins, Jon L., Ed. – 1974
Fifteen research reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and analyzed. Six of the reports deal with aspects of learning theory, four with areas in mathematics instruction (calculus, elementary mathematics for students of economics, and planning for topics for kindergarten children), and two with assessment or prediction of…

Koschmann, Timothy – Artificial Intelligence, 1996
Reviews Dreyfus's writings about human cognition and artificial intelligence (AI), and explains some of the implications of his position, particularly in education. Topics include Dreyfus' critique of AI, representationlaism and expertise, technology and its role in instruction, computer-assisted instruction, and intelligent tutoring systems. (JKP)
