Younger children have more difficulty in sharing attention between two concurrent tasks than do older participants, but in addition to this developmental change, we documented changes in the nature of attention sharing. We studied children 6-8 and 10-14 years old and college students (in all, 104 women and 76 men; 3% Hispanic, 3% Black or African…

The United States is experiencing a shortage of STEM workers, with many students leaving the pipeline before attaining a career in STEM. STEM education researchers have identified factors at the high school and college level that contribute to attrition, but earlier life events remain underexplored.

Coch, Donna – Developmental Science, 2015
While behavioral and educational data characterize a fourth grade shift in reading development, neuroscience evidence is relatively lacking. We used the N400 component of the event-related potential waveform to investigate the development of single word processing across the upper elementary years, in comparison to adult readers. We presented…

Pope, Jennifer A.; Sánchez, Carol M.; Lehnert, Kevin; Schmid, Alexandra S. – Journal of Teaching in International Business, 2014
We propose that Generation Y college students' motivations to study abroad are rooted in the desire for individual growth, which, combined with other motivation factors--gender, parents' educational level, prior international experience, age, and household income--drives the intent to study abroad. The study samples juniors and seniors in business…

Livingston, Wade G.; Scott, David A.; Havice, Pamela A.; Cawthon, Tony W. – Journal of College and University Student Housing, 2012
The term "camouflage" implies obscurity and concealment. Male student veterans who return from the military often employ a social camouflage; though some may reveal and discuss their military experience, their overriding objective is to blend in, have a "normal" college experience, and graduate. This creates challenges for housing professionals…

In Experiment 1, Japanese children (4-, 5-, 7-, and 10-year-olds (n = 78)) and adults (n = 36), answered questions about the possibility of psychogenic bodily reactions, i.e., bodily outcomes with origins in the mind. The 4- and 5-year-old preschoolers typically denied that bodily conditions could originate in mental states. Developmentally,…

Hierarchical linear modeling was used to model the trajectory of growth for each psychosocial issue across middle adulthood. As…

Walker, Pamela M.; Hewstone, Miles – British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2006
Research over the past two decades has demonstrated that individuals are better at recognizing and discriminating faces of their own race versus other races. The own-race effect has typically been investigated in relation to recognition memory; however, some evidence supports an own-race effect at the level of perceptual encoding in adults. The…
