Alwin Rooij; Ali Atef; Myrthe Faber – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2024
A wandering mind is not always a creative mind. Anecdotes about ideas spontaneously entering awareness during walks, showers, and other off-task activities are plenty. The science behind it, however, is still inconclusive. Creativity might result from how thought context--whether thoughts are on-task or off-task--relates to thought dynamics--how…

Zhijun Liao; Xiya Ao; Yulu Sun; Manli Zhang; Xiangzhi Meng – npj Science of Learning, 2024
Applying 10 Hz ([alpha]-rate) sensory stimulation, not 5 Hz ([theta]-rate), prior to introducing novel speech-print pairs can reset the phase of [theta] oscillations and enhance associative learning. This rapid gain indicates coordinated mechanisms to regulate attentional/cognitive resources ([alpha] oscillations) and facilitate memory storage…

Yoon Lee; Gosia Migut; Marcus Specht – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2025
Learner behaviours often provide critical clues about learners' cognitive processes. However, the capacity of human intelligence to comprehend and intervene in learners' cognitive processes is often constrained by the subjective nature of human evaluation and the challenges of maintaining consistency and scalability. The recent widespread AI…

Dillon H. Murphy; Shawn T. Schwartz; Alan D. Castel – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Value-directed remembering refers to the tendency to best remember important information at the expense of less valuable information, and this ability may draw on strategic attentional processes. In six experiments, we investigated the role of attention in value-directed remembering by examining memory for important information under conditions of…

Louise David; Felicitas Biwer; Martine Baars; Lisette Wijnia; Fred Paas; Anique de Bruin – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
Accurately monitoring one's learning processes during self-regulated learning depends on using the right cues, one of which could be perceived mental effort. A meta-analysis by Baars et al. (2020) found a negative association between mental effort and monitoring judgments (r = -0.35), suggesting that the amount of mental effort experienced during…

Laura E. Knouse; Yueyi Fan; Aditya Narayanan; William D. Ellison – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2025
Purpose: Avoidant automatic thoughts (AAT) are thoughts that precede or accompany a delay in the starting or ending of a task. In a prior study of college students using Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA), AATs were frequent daily occurrences and participants with more severe ADHD symptoms at baseline reported more frequent AAT. Importantly,…

Solange W. Locatelli; Larissa Souza de Oliveira; Raimundo da Silva S. Junior; João R. Sato – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
According to several studies, the three levels of representation in chemistry are the fundamental aspects of effective learning and understanding of chemistry. In this study, we aim to illustrate how students identify changes in the matter using eye-tracking and verbalizations. Five students observed chemical and physical phenomena depicted by…

Paula Thomson; S. Victoria Jaque – Creativity Research Journal, 2025
The goal of this study was to examine maladaptive daydreaming and the associations with emotion regulation difficulties, creative processes, creative self-efficacy, and creative personal identity. A non-clinical sample of active participants (N = 361) was investigated. A series of Pearson correlations, multivariate, multilinear regressions, and…

Tim Kühl; Felicia Teske; Martin Merkt; Christina Sondermann – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2025
The empirical evidence concerning the question whether an instructor should be presented on online lecture slides is equivocal and two lines of theoretical reasoning exist. On the one hand, the instructor may distract from the content, thereby hampering learning; on the other hand, the instructor may function as a social cue that triggers a more…

Objective: Very few studies have investigated intervention approaches that may be efficacious for youth with ADHD and co-occurring cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS) symptoms. This study examined the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a mindfulness-based intervention for adolescents with ADHD and co-occurring CDS symptoms.…

Jasmine Tan; Caroline Di Bernardi Luft; Joydeep Bhattacharya – Creativity Research Journal, 2024
Flow is a state of optimal or peak experience, commonly associated with expert and creative performance. Musicians often experience flow during playing, yet the neural mechanisms underlying this elusive state have remained underexplored due to challenges posed by substantial artefacts in the neural data. Here, we bypassed these issues by focusing…
