Godard, Marc; Wamain, Yannick; Ott, Laurent; Delepoulle, Samuel; Kalénine, Solène – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2022
Recent evidence in adults indicates that object perceptual processing is affected by the competition between action representations. In the absence of a specific motor plan, reachable objects associated with distinct structural (grasping) and functional (using) actions (e.g., calculator) elicit slower judgments than objects associated with similar…

Dutra, Natália B.; Chen, Lydia; Anum, Adote; Burger, Oskar; Davis, Helen E.; Dzokoto, Vivian A.; Fong, Frankie T. K.; Ghelardi, Sabrina; Mendez, Kimberly; Messer, Emily J. E.; Newhouse, Morgan; Nielsen, Mark G.; Ramos, Karlos; Rawlings, Bruce; dos Santos, Renan A. C.; Silveira, Lara G. S.; Tucker-Drob, Elliot M.; Legare, Cristine H. – Developmental Science, 2022
Self-regulation is a widely studied construct, generally assumed to be cognitively supported by executive functions (EFs). There is a lack of clarity and consensus over the roles of specific components of EFs in self-regulation. The current study examines the relations between performance on (a) a self-regulation task (Heads, Toes, Knees Shoulders…

Zappullo, Isa; Senese, Vincenzo Paolo; Milo, Rosa; Positano, Monica; Cecere, Roberta; Raimo, Gennaro; Conson, Massimiliano – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Inconsistent data are available on mental rotation performance in neurotypicals with high autistic-like traits. Here, we tested whether global-local visual processing abilities mediate the influence of specific autistic-like trait domains (social skill, attention switching, attention-to-detail, communication, and imagination) on mental rotation.…

Bogomolova, Katerina; Vorstenbosch, Marc A. T. M.; El Messaoudi, Inssaf; Holla, Micha; Hovius, Steven E. R.; van der Hage, Jos A.; Hierck, Beerend P. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Binocular disparity provides one of the important depth cues within stereoscopic three-dimensional (3D) visualization technology. However, there is limited research on its effect on learning within a 3D augmented reality (AR) environment. This study evaluated the effect of binocular disparity on the acquisition of anatomical knowledge and…

Kang, Tinghu; Tang, Tinghao; Zhang, Peizhi; Luo, Shu; Qi, Huanhuan – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Background: The ability to translate concrete manipulatives into abstract mathematical formulas can aid in the solving of mathematical word problems among students, and metacognitive prompts play a significant role in enhancing this process. Aims: Based on the concept of semantic congruence, we explored the effects of metacognitive prompts and…

Francisco, Ana A.; Jesse, Alexandra; Groen, Margriet A.; McQueen, James M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: Because reading is an audiovisual process, reading impairment may reflect an audiovisual processing deficit. The aim of the present study was to test the existence and scope of such a deficit in adult readers with dyslexia. Method: We tested 39 typical readers and 51 adult readers with dyslexia on their sensitivity to the simultaneity of…

Murphy, Gillian; Murphy, Lisa – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2018
Change blindness is the striking inability to detect seemingly obvious changes that occur between views of a scene. The current study assessed perceptual load as a factor that may affect change blindness for human faces. The study had participants (n = 103) interact with a researcher in a testing room that imposed low or high perceptual load.…

Menendez, David; Rosengren, Karl S.; Alibali, Martha W. – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
People often have difficulty in understanding processes of biological change, and they typically reject drastic life cycle changes such as metamorphosis, except for animals with which they are familiar. Even after a lesson about metamorphosis, people often do not generalize to animals not seen during the lesson. This might be partially due to the…

Lau, Joseph C. Y.; To, Carol K. S.; Kwan, Judy S. K.; Kang, Xin; Losh, Molly; Wong, Patrick C. M. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Atypical pitch processing is a feature of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), which affects non-tone language speakers' communication. Lifelong auditory experience has been demonstrated to modify genetically-predisposed risks for pitch processing. We examined individuals with ASD to test the hypothesis that lifelong auditory experience in tone…

Sun, Hui; Saito, Kazuya; Tierney, Adam – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2021
Precise auditory perception at a subcortical level (neural representation and encoding of sound) has been suggested as a form of implicit L2 aptitude in naturalistic settings. Emerging evidence suggests that such implicit aptitude explains some variance in L2 speech perception and production among adult learners with different first language…

Yijun Ge – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Our visual system samples external information, adjusts its sensitivity and constructs a stable representation of the world that allows us to perceive and interact with objects in our environments. Visual information with different levels of complexity is processed through the hierarchically organized visual cortical areas. This dissertation…

Nischal, Roshni Pushpa; Behrmann, Marlene – Developmental Science, 2023
Holistic processing (HP) of faces refers to the obligatory, simultaneous processing of the parts and their relations, and it emerges over the course of development. HP is manifest in a decrement in the perception of inverted versus upright faces and a reduction in face processing ability when the relations between parts are perturbed. Here,…

Sampaio, Cristina; Wang, Ranxiao Frances – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
People's expectations help them make judgments about the world. In the area of spatial memory, the interaction of existing knowledge with incoming information is best illustrated in the category effect, a bias in positioning a target toward the prototypical location of its region (Huttenlocher et al., 1991). According to Bayesian principles, these…

Nurit Paz-Baruch – Educational Studies, 2024
The study identified the cognitive mechanisms that underly individual differences in mathematics and reading. There is little systematic evidence regarding the connections between cognitive capabilities, mathematics and reading among high-school students with typical development. Moreover, the study aimed to examine whether or not gender is…
