Qi Zhang – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
This study investigates the efficiency of "segmented ludicization" in language learning, i.e., the method considering learners' cognitive processing in ludicized learning experiences. This method transforms traditional didactic environments into playable procedures involving intervals for learners' knowledge digestions and retrievals.…

Giebl, Saskia; Mena, Stefany; Storm, Benjamin C.; Bjork, Elizabeth Ligon; Bjork, Robert A. – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2021
Technological advances have given us tools--Google, in particular--that can both augment and free up our cognitive resources. Research has demonstrated, however, that some cognitive costs may arise from our reliance on such external memories. We examined whether pretesting--asking participants to solve a problem before consulting Google for needed…

Helia M. Aval; Kasey Pankratz; Elizabeth L. Davis – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly: A Peer Relations Journal, 2024
Children's responses to new, unfamiliar social interactions should be influenced by their cognitive appraisals and physiology, though little is known about how these constructs interrelate. To investigate these links, we examined whether children's appraisals of recalled events and resting parasympathetic physiology predicted social…

Yu-Jen Sie; Kuen-Yi Lin – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2025
Project-based learning (PBL) plays a critical role in fostering interdisciplinary integration within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. However, its complexity often hinders students' ability to apply knowledge and solve problems, particularly in environments that lack psychological and cognitive support. This…

Sterre K. Ruitenburg; Pieter Guldemont; Paul A. Kirschner; Halszka Jarodzka; Gino Camp – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2025
Successful adoption of proven effective practice strategies such as distributed practice may contribute to much-needed improvement in mathematics performance. However, it is not yet fully understood if distributed practice is beneficial for long-term retention of complex procedural knowledge and, if so, for which initial practice performance level…

Amna Ghani; Caroline Di Bernardi Luft; Smadar Ovadio-Caro; Klaus-Robert Müller; Joydeep Bhattacharya – Creativity Research Journal, 2024
Chance favors the prepared mind, said Louis Pasteur. Sometimes, significant breakthroughs occur when we creatively integrate new information, leading to a creative insight or an Aha! moment, while at other times when we fail to use a clue, we remain stuck in our habitual thinking patterns. In this study, we hypothesized that the brain's transient…

Bicer, Ali; Bicer, Aysenur – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2023
Most research has focused solely on understanding high school or college students' mathematical creative thinking abilities while understanding younger students' creative thinking in mathematics was ignored. These studies of older students have focused mainly on students' creative products rather than creative processes. The authors of the present…

Yugo Hayashi – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
During collaborative small group problem-solving, a group member with a minority perspective has a notable influence on the majority's perspective. However, the type of interactions with such a member could influence a stalemate, and the relationships between internal and task conflicts and the convergence process remain unclear. This study…

Chun-Ying Chen – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2025
This study examined the effects of worked examples with different explanation types and novices' motivation on cognitive load, and how this subsequently influenced their programming problem-solving performance. Given the study's emphasis on both instructional approaches and learner motivation, the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning served as…

Kim, Sohyun An; Baczewski, Lauren; Pizzano, Maria; Kasari, Connie; Sturm, Alexandra – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
This study examines autistic and non-autistic college students' experiences of discrimination and harassment and identifies protective and risk factors. A nationwide survey was used to match autistic students (N = 290) and non-autistic students (N = 290) on co-occurring diagnoses and demographic characteristics. Multiple regression and interaction…

Gjerde, Vegard; Paulsen, Vegard Havre; Holst, Bodil; Kolstø, Stein Dankert – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Self-explanation, a learning strategy where students explain to themselves the steps taken in a worked example, is an effective learning strategy in early cognitive skill acquisition. However, many physics students produce self-explanations of low quality. There is also a lack of guidelines for what students should seek to explain when studying…

Asmussen, Gyde; Rodemer, Marc; Bernholt, Sascha – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Students are known to have various difficulties in dealing with organic reaction mechanisms. A systematic classification of these difficulties appears necessary to design appropriate support. This paper presents insights into whether and how Bloom's revised taxonomy can be used to classify student difficulties in dealing with organic reaction…

Shaw, Neil – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2023
Attention-based learning tasks of modern classrooms require processing of information in working memory. Not much is known about the cognitive processes operating during these tasks. To gain an understanding of the processes that support cognitive functions like learning, we have monitored the activity of the brain waves emanating from the frontal…

Schatz, Jule; Jones, Steven J.; Laird, John E. – Cognitive Science, 2022
The Remote Associates Test (RAT) is a word association retrieval task that consists of a series of problems, each with three seemingly unrelated prompt words. The subject is asked to produce a single word that is related to all three prompt words. In this paper, we provide support for a theory in which the RAT assesses a person's ability to…

Yi-Shiuan Chou; Huei-Tse Hou; Kuo-En Chang – Education and Information Technologies, 2024
The trend in history education is gradually emphasizing the development of historical thinking and collaborative problem-solving skills, which are expected to enhance the breadth and depth of learners' thinking. The integration of game-based learning with collaborative problem-solving activities designed for historical thinking is expected to help…
