Chris M. Fiacconi – Metacognition and Learning, 2024
The relationship between confidence and accuracy has long been an important and controversial topic within the field of human memory. In a recent review article, Schwartz (2024). "Inferential theories of retrospective confidence." Metacognition & Learning.) competently summarized some of the key empirical findings on this issue and…

Guasti, Maria Teresa – First Language, 2020
In this commentary on the Special Issue, I will address the question of what memory spans measure concerning language, as language has, at least, a linear and a hierarchical dimension. I suggest that if anything what is measured has to do with the linear dimension. Then, I will discuss the welcome results on bilingual children with language…

Murphy, Charlotte; Dehmelt, Vera; Yonelinas, Andrew P.; Ranganath, Charan; Gruber, Matthias J. – Learning & Memory, 2021
Curiosity states benefit memory for target information, but also incidental information presented during curiosity states. However, it is not known whether incidental curiosity-enhanced memory depends on when incidental information during curiosity states is encountered. Here, participants incidentally encoded unrelated face images at different…

Banich, Marie T.; Wang, Kai; Kim, Hyojeong; Leopold, Daniel R.; Reineberg, Andrew E.; Thompson, Lee A.; Willcutt, Erik G.; Cutting, Laurie E.; Petrill, Stephen A. – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2023
This paper reviews three studies investigating the relationship between brain regions involved in executive control and those involved in reading comprehension in typically-developing teens. In the first study, three regions of posterior left lateral prefrontal cortex (i.e., precentral gyrus, inferior frontal junction, inferior frontal gyrus) were…

Marshall, Chloë – First Language, 2020
The research studies presented in this special issue rest on two assumptions: firstly, that limitations in verbal short-term memory and verbal working memory (vSTM/WM) capacity are likely to be related to impairments in syntax, and secondly that this relationship is likely to be causal, with impairments in vSTM/WM causing impairments in syntax. In…

Amso, Dima; Kirkham, Natasha – Child Development Perspectives, 2021
Visual attention both guides and is guided by learning and memory systems. In this article, we use a multiple-memory systems framework to examine the interplay between attention and memory that begins in early postnatal life. We review how attention and memory interact to support infant development with respect to perceptual learning about objects…

Santamaria, Angela – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2020
This study analyses the relationships between intercultural education, women's painful memories, and collective leadership using an art installation, "The Bath." Some of the processes and materials generated during the creation of the installation are presented. This experience of intercultural education in an Amazonian territory is part…

Chen, Yi-Chun; Yang, Fang-Ying; Chang, Cheng-Chieh – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2020
Science learning requires visuospatial thinking. Accordingly, spatial ability is regarded as the key to learning science well, but its effects are sometimes not as significant as expected. To this end, this research aims to conceptualize spatial abilities and to clarify their relation to science learning based on an analysis of empirical studies.…

De Cat, Cécile – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2020
Using advanced quantitative methods, this article demonstrates that cumulative exposure to the school language is the best language experience predictor of proficiency in that language (as indexed by sentence repetition, lexical semantic, and discourse semantic tasks) in a highly diverse group of 5- to 7-year-old bilingual children in monolingual…

Pezzino, Anne-Sophie; Marec-Breton, Nathalie; Lacroix, Agnès – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2019
We propose a review of the literature of the studies investigating reading acquisition in intellectual deficiency (ID), with particular focus on the explanatory factors for reading difficulties. Indeed, we explore the role of intellectual efficiency, perceptual abilities, oral language development, phonological processing and memory. The study of…

Yamana, Jun – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2020
Dealing with memories of catastrophes is undoubtedly important for education. Yet, how is such an education possible? On which theoretical basis can we describe it? In this article, I build a bridge between 'Memory Studies' and educational studies with regard to the topic of 'catastrophe' and thus present a provisional general theory of education,…

Singleton, David – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2017
The traditional definition of language aptitude sees it as "an individual's initial state of readiness and capacity for learning a foreign language, and probable facility in doing so given the presence of motivation and opportunity" (Carroll, 1981, p. 86). This conception portrays language aptitude as a trait, in the sense of exhibiting…

Smolen, Paul; Baxter, Douglas A.; Byrne, John H. – Learning & Memory, 2016
With memory encoding reliant on persistent changes in the properties of synapses, a key question is how can memories be maintained from days to months or a lifetime given molecular turnover? It is likely that positive feedback loops are necessary to persistently maintain the strength of synapses that participate in encoding. Such feedback may…

Schacher, Samuel; Hu, Jiang-Yuan – Learning & Memory, 2014
An important cellular mechanism contributing to the strength and duration of memories is activity-dependent alterations in the strength of synaptic connections within the neural circuit encoding the memory. Reversal of the memory is typically correlated with a reversal of the cellular changes to levels expressed prior to the stimulation. Thus, for…

Paas, Fred; Sweller, John – Educational Psychology Review, 2012
Cognitive load theory is intended to provide instructional strategies derived from experimental, cognitive load effects. Each effect is based on our knowledge of human cognitive architecture, primarily the limited capacity and duration of a human working memory. These limitations are ameliorated by changes in long-term memory associated with…
