Sam Ihlenfeldt; Gregory K. W. K. Chung; Susan Lyons; Jordan Lawson; Elizabeth J. K. H. Redman – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2025
In this evaluation study, we investigated the extent to which Solitaired.com's online game, Solitaire, could be used to model players' performance on several validated cognitive tests commonly associated with mental acuity (i.e., memory and processing speed). Prior research found that Solitaire gameplay is affected by mild cognitive impairment and…

Ronald Ruiz-Peña; Mariana Pino; Juan Contreras – International Journal of Educational Psychology, 2024
Adolescents who break the law have experienced situations that increase the likelihood of becoming involved in criminal activities such as drug use, gang involvement, adverse economic conditions, among others. All this, added to their stage of human development, which is characterized by physical, cognitive, social and emotional changes, can lead…

In two studies, we used the Gottschaldt's Hidden Figure Test (GHFT) for assessing figure disembedding ability in children aged 7-11. Study 1 demonstrated in a large sample of typically developing children that GHFT accuracy and time scores differed across age groups, without sex and socioeconomic differences. Thus, we provided normative data only…

Cherry Youn; Andrew D. Grotzinger; Christina M. Lill; Lars Bertram; Florian Schmiedek; Martin Lövdén; Ulman Lindenberger; Michel Nivard; K. Paige Harden; Elliot M. Tucker-Drob – npj Science of Learning, 2022
Cognitive performance is both heritable and sensitive to environmental inputs and sustained practice over time. However, it is currently unclear how genetic effects on cognitive performance change over the course of learning. We examine how polygenic scores (PGS) created from genome-wide association studies of educational attainment and cognitive…

Mercedes Montenegro-Peña; Pedro Montejo Carrasco; M. Emiliana De Andrés Montes; Antonio García Marín; Borja Montejo Rubio; David Prada Crespo – Educational Gerontology, 2025
The results of Cognitive Intervention (CI) programs vary considerably; thus, it is helpful to assess the characteristics that enhance the effectiveness of these programs. Our objectives were to analyze the effectiveness of a multicomponent CI program called UMAM on cognitive performance, subjective memory, daily forgetfulness, and mood of…

Neath, Ian; Hockley, William E.; Ensor, Tyler M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
The mirror effect is the finding that in recognition tests, a manipulation that increases the hit rate also decreases the false alarm rate. For example, low frequency words have a higher hit rate and a lower false alarm rate than high frequency words. Because the mirror effect is held to be a regularity of memory, it has had a pronounced influence…

Lung, Stephanie Lock Man; Bertone, Armando – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Cognitive flexibility (CF) is the ability to shift between concepts or rules. Difficulty with CF is associated with autism (i.e., ASD) as it contributes to repetitive behaviours. However, little is known about CF skills of autistic adolescents with low intelligence. This study uses the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task (WCST) to assess the CF of 36…

Sergiou, Sergios; Georgiou, George K.; Charalambous, Charalambos Y. – International Journal of School & Educational Psychology, 2023
Although Cognitive Assessment System (CAS)-2: Brief was published in 2014 and it is used in applied settings all over the world, we still do not know how well it relates to academic achievement. Thus, this study aimed to examine the relations of CAS-2: Brief with reading and mathematics performance. Two hundred and twenty-two Greek-speaking…

Key-DeLyria, Sarah E.; Rogalski, Yvonne; Bodner, Todd; Weichselbaum, Amanda – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: Individuals with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) may experience chronic cognitive-linguistic impairments that are difficult to evaluate with existing measures. Garden path sentences are linguistically complex sentences that lead readers down a path to an incorrect interpretation. Previous research indicates many individuals, with or…

Shannon Marie Winans – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Within the field of school psychology, the currently accepted structure of intelligence is the Cattell-Horn-Carroll Model (CHC). The CHC model contains three strata of abilities: a general ability (g), multiple broad cognitive abilities, and several narrow abilities (Schneider & McGrew, 2018), although the theoretical salience of the g factor…

Degeest, Sofie; Kestens, Katrien; Keppler, Hannah – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of chronic tinnitus on measures of listening effort and cognitive performance, as well as the relation between cognitive performance and the amount of listening effort obtained by those measures. Method: Thirteen normal-hearing young adults with chronic tinnitus were matched with a control group.…

Carter, Brittney L.; Apoux, Frédéric; Healy, Eric W. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: A dual-task paradigm was implemented to investigate how noise type and sentence context may interact with age and hearing loss to impact word recall during speech recognition. Method: Three noise types with varying degrees of temporal/spectrotemporal modulation were used: speech-shaped noise, speech-modulated noise, and three-talker…

Di Sarro, Rita; Di Santantonio, Anna; Desideri, Lorenzo; Varrucciu, Niccolò – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2022
Background: Executive functions (EF) impairments have long been observed in children and youths with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Until very recently, little attention has been paid to examine EF profiles of adults with ASD. Given the importance of EF to cope with the demands of daily life and participate in society (e.g. maintaining an…

Georgiou, George K.; Bulut, Okan; Dunn, Kristy; Naglieri, Jack A.; Das, J. P. – Psychology in the Schools, 2021
Although several studies have shown that planning, attention, simultaneous, and successive (PASS) cognitive processes--operationalized with the cognitive assessment system (CAS; Naglieri & Das, 1997)--are significant predictors of academic performance in the general population, little is known about their role among children with superior…

Waltz, Russell W.; Sasso, Pietro A. – Journal of College and Character, 2021
Current faculty and other stakeholders for higher education have cited a lack of critical thinking within traditional undergraduate students. Some have touted this "soft skill" as a necessary competency for postgraduate employment because others within the private sector have challenged higher education to reconsider how this skill is…
