Jiayi Li; Aitao Lu; Liwen Ye; Guoping Chen; Hong Ling; Wanyi Chen; Yingjie Zhong; Yuening An; Xiayao Ke – Psychology in the Schools, 2025
Mobile phone addiction (MPA) has become a prevalent issue among adolescents, which is closely associated with cognitive failure. The present study seeks to explore the network structure of the association between MPA and cognitive failure among adolescents by network analysis, as well as the mediating roles of self-control and mind wandering by…

Tu, Hsing-Fen; Lindskog, Marcus; Gredebäck, Gustaf – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Attentional control in infancy has been postulated as foundational for self-regulation later in life. However, the empirical evidence supporting this claim is inconsistent. In the current study, we examined the longitudinal data from a sample of Swedish infants (6, 10, and 18 months, n = 118, 59 boys) across a broad set of eye-tracking tasks to…

Miroslava Tokovská; Dominika Doktorová; Jana Šolcová – Journal of Social Studies Education Research, 2024
The ability to learn new skills as an adult, cognitive stimulation in the ageing process, and a cognitively active lifestyle are of interest to experts in education, public health, and social studies. The game Scrabble, with its enjoyable nature, has gained recognition as an educational resource that facilitates the acquisition and preservation of…

Madeleine Long; Hannah Rohde; Michelle Oraa Ali; Paula Rubio-Fernandez – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
This study aims to advance our understanding of the nature and source(s) of individual differences in pragmatic language behavior over the adult lifespan. Across four story continuation experiments, we probed adults' (N = 496 participants, ages 18-82) choice of referential forms (i.e., names vs. pronouns to refer to the main character). Our…

Jessica Charlotte Kawalek; F. Gobet – Journal of Dance Education, 2024
This paper examines the link between cognitive processes and superior performance in contemporary dance. In the first study, thirty-six participants (professional dancers, nonprofessional dancers, and non-dancers) carried out a task in which they were asked to reproduce a sequence of dance steps while being recorded on a camcorder. Analysis…

Bürki, Audrey; Madec, Sylvain – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
The picture-word interference paradigm (participants name target pictures while ignoring distractor words) is often used to model the planning processes involved in word production. The participants' naming times are delayed in the presence of a distractor (general interference). The size of this effect depends on the relationship between the…

Stelzer, Florencia; Richard's, María M.; Andrés, María Laura; Vernucci, Santiago; Introzzi, Isabel – Educational Psychology, 2021
Competence with fractions is important for learning more advanced mathematics. The present study examined the predictive value of sustained attention, verbal and visuospatial working memory, cognitive flexibility, fluid intelligence, multiplication and division abilities for fraction knowledge in fifth grade. Participants were 97 elementary school…

Sevinç, Meryem; Dogusoy, Berrin – Participatory Educational Research, 2022
Students' problematic internet behaviour is often mentioned concept in the related literature. Even though the related literature concentrated on students' problematic internet behaviour from various perspectives among different sampling groups, most of the studies focused on adults than younger groups. Therefore, the current study focused on…

Eadaoin J. Slattery; Patrick Ryan; Donal G. Fortune; Laura P. McAvinue – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2024
This study evaluated the impact of a theory-driven cognitive attention training program, "Keeping Score!," in improving students' sustained attention capacity. Training was based on sustained updating. Students engaged this process by mentally keeping score during an interactive game of table tennis without external aids. Students (9-11…

Gao, Zaifeng; Li, Jiaofeng; Wu, Jinglan; Dai, Alessandro; Liao, Huayu; Shen, Mowei – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Working memory (WM) has a limited capacity; however, this limitation can be mitigated by selecting individual items from the set currently held in WM for prioritization. The selection mechanism underlying this prioritization ability is referred to as the focus of attention (FOA) in WM. Although impressive progress has been achieved in recent…

Jon-Chao Hong; Jhen-Ni Ye; Jian-Hong Ye; Ling-Wen Kung – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Attentional control theory indicates that concentration is considered an important variable that contributes to learning. There are some devices for players to practice their concentration, but there are few virtual reality (VR) designs which can increase the level of difficulty for students to discipline their mental concentration with…

Angela Pasqualotto; Paola Venuti – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2025
This study investigated the role of domain-specific and domain-general factors in predicting early literacy skills in Italian children. A sample of 239 first-grade students was evaluated using a broad neuropsychological battery to assess their cognitive skills. The results showed that phonological awareness, rapid automatized naming, speed of…

Kiefer, Markus; Harpaintner, Marcel; Rohr, Michaela; Wentura, Dirk – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Ratings of perceptual experience on a trial-by-trial basis are increasingly used in masked priming studies to assess prime awareness. It is argued that such subjective ratings more adequately capture the content of phenomenal consciousness compared to the standard objective psychophysical measures obtained in a session after the priming…

Hong, Jon-Chao; Liu, Xiaohong; Cao, Wei; Tai, Kai-Hsin; Zhao, Li – Educational Technology & Society, 2022
With the outbreak of COVID-19, more online learning has been adopted for distance learning. However, the effectiveness of online learning for those students engaged in it for the first time has not been discussed. This study aims to investigate perceived ineffectiveness of online learning and its antecedents related to cognitive and affective…

Kuvar, Vishal; Flynn, Lauren; Allen, Laura; Mills, Caitlin – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2023
Computer-mediated social learning contexts have become increasingly popular over the last few years; yet existing models of students' cognitive-affective states have been slower to adopt dyadic interaction data for predictions. Here, we explore the possibility of capitalizing on the inherently social component of collaborative learning by using…
