Stojic, Hrvoje; Olsson, Henrik; Analytis, Pantelis P. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Choosing between options characterized by multiple cues can be a daunting task. People may integrate all information at hand or just use lexicographic strategies that ignore most of it. Notably, integrative strategies require knowing exact cue weights, whereas lexicographic heuristics can operate by merely knowing the importance order of cues.…

Kadek Ayu Ariningsih; Lasiyo; Iva Ariani – International Journal of Education & the Arts, 2025
The climate crisis threatens the sustainability of global ecosystems. To address climate change education, which has traditionally focused on scientific and technical approaches, one can consider learning from the ecological wisdom of ancient peoples. This qualitative paper explores the ecological wisdom behind the traditional painting of Wayang…

Banks, Adrian P.; Gamblin, David M.; Hutchinson, Heather – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
Fast and frugal heuristics have been used to model decision making in applied domains very effectively, suggesting that they could be used to improve applied decision making. We developed a fast and frugal heuristic for infantry decisions using experts from the British Army. This was able to predict around 80% of their decisions using three cues.…

Pedro Vázquez-Marín – International Journal of Education & the Arts, 2024
Despite the ongoing debate in academic circles regarding the impact of the arts on individual and collective well-being, there is a paucity of empirical research in this area. Nevertheless, recent studies have begun to establish a significant correlation between arts engagement and a range of positive outcomes. The objective of this study is to…

Musculus, Lisa; Ruggeri, Azzurra; Raab, Markus; Lobinger, Babett – Developmental Psychology, 2019
Little is known about how children generate options for taking action in familiar situations or how they select which action option to actually perform. In this article, we explore the interplay between option generation and selection from a developmental perspective using sports as a testbed. In a longitudinal design with four measurement waves,…

Mairing, Jackson Pasini – International Education Studies, 2017
Solving problems is not only a goal of mathematical learning. Students acquire ways of thinking, habits of persistence and curiosity, and confidence in unfamiliar situations by learning to solve problems. In fact, there were students who had difficulty in solving problems. The students were naive problem solvers. This research aimed to describe…

Behrmann, Lars – European Journal of Educational Research, 2019
Teachers' use of everyday cognitive heuristics can lead to biases in information processing and, thus, to unfair assessments of student characteristics. This problem can be addressed by a core aspect of research-based learning, i.e., by making use of principles and methods of empirical research in order to systematically collect information.…

Yang, Wenjing; Dietrich, Arne; Liu, Peiduo; Ming, Dan; Jin, Yule; Nusbaum, Howard C.; Qiu, Jiang; Zhang, Qinglin – Creativity Research Journal, 2016
Evidence from a range of fields indicates that inventions are often inspired by drawing a parallel to solutions found in nature. However, the cognitive mechanism of this process is not well understood. The cognitive mechanism of heuristic prototype in scientific innovation was tested with 3 experiments. First, 84 historical accounts of important…

Sagalakova, Olga A.; Truevtsev, Dmitry V.; Sagalakov, Anatoly M. – International Journal of Environmental and Science Education, 2016
This article analyzes modern theoretical and conceptual models of social anxiety disorder (SAD) (cognitive, metacognitive, psychopathological) with a view to determine specific features of psychological mechanisms of disorders studied in various approaches, to identify similarities and differences in conceptual SAD models, their heuristic…

Patrick, John; Ahmed, Afia – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
Our aim in this article is to elaborate the role of training in representational change theory (RCT), particularly in terms of Ohlsson's (2011) spread of activation explanation (named "redistribution theory"), and to develop novel training manipulations that effect the re-encoding mechanism proposed by RCT (Ohlsson, 1992). Two…

Su, Yin; Rao, Li-Lin; Sun, Hong-Yue; Du, Xue-Lei; Li, Xingshan; Li, Shu – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
The debate about whether making a risky choice is based on a weighting and adding process has a long history and is still unresolved. To address this long-standing controversy, we developed a comparative paradigm. Participants' eye movements in 2 risky choice tasks that required participants to choose between risky options in single-play and…

Cho, Younsoon; Chung, Hye Young; Choi, Kyoulee; Seo, Choyoung; Baek, Eunjoo – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2013
This research explores the emergence of student creativity in classroom settings, specifically within two content areas: science and social studies. Fourteen classrooms in three elementary schools in Korea were observed, and the teachers and students were interviewed. The three types of student creativity emerging in the teaching and learning…

Undorf, Monika; Erdfelder, Edgar – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
According to the ease-of-processing hypothesis, judgments of learning (JOLs) rely on the ease with which items are committed to memory during encoding--that is, encoding fluency. Conclusive evidence for this hypothesis does not yet exist because encoding fluency and item difficulty have been confounded in all previous studies. To disentangle the…

Poddiakov, Alexander – International Journal of Early Years Education, 2011
Combinatorial abilities are fundamental to experimental thinking. The aim of this work was to design didactic objects that will stimulate preschoolers' experimental thinking and to study young children's thinking in relation to these objects. Six heuristic rules for the design of didactic objects are specified, and the responses of 623 children…
