Werner Greve; Martin Koch; Verena Rasche; Kristin Kersten – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
The cognitive advantage (CA) hypothesis claims that multilingualism promotes the development of several basic cognitive capacities. A large number of empirical findings support this hypothesis, but recently there have also been numerous contradictory findings and methodological objections. The present paper extends the investigation of possible…

Blanch, Angel; Martínez, Albert – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2023
Individual differences in cognitive performance depend on age, skill, and type of task. Nonetheless, whether performance is measured with accuracy (ACC) or with the trade-off between responding speed and accuracy (SAT) could render subtle different relationships. Age and skill might associate more strongly with SAT performance in reasoning tasks,…

R. Lanai Jennings; Megan Midkiff; Emily Nestor McCauley; Jeremy Lopuch; Sandra Stroebel; Rachel James; Mary Toler; Rebecca Wendell; Paula King; Mallory Frampton – Contemporary School Psychology, 2024
Reading comprehension is one of the most valuable academic skills taught in school. Selecting the appropriate assessment instrument to ensure early identification and intervention is important as there is an amalgam of cognitive abilities and academic skills involved in reading comprehension. The GORT-5 is the most recent edition of a test that…

Jones, Jonathan S.; Adlam, Anna-Lynne R.; Benattayallah, Abdelmalek; Milton, Fraser N. – Child Development, 2022
Working memory training improves children's cognitive performance on untrained tasks; however, little is known about the underlying neural mechanisms. This was investigated in 32 typically developing children aged 10-14 years (19 girls and 13 boys) using a randomized controlled design and multi-modal magnetic resonance imaging (Devon, UK;…

Liujie Xu; Xuefei Zou; Yuxue Hou – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2024
Background: Data literacy (DL) is vital for teachers, as it enables them to build on data and improve teaching and learning. Therefore, developing DL among pre-service teachers is critical. Objectives: The purpose of this study is threefold: to evaluate whether a feedback visualisation of peer assessment-based teaching approach (FVPA-based…

Ellis, Gregory M.; Souza, Pamela – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
The original Spectral Correlation Index (SCI[underscore o]) is a measure of amplitude envelope distortion that has been used in several studies to predict behavioral results. Because the original SCI[underscore o] did not account for the differential contribution of particular frequency bands to speech intelligibility (i.e., band importance) or…

Foppolo, Francesca; Mazzaggio, Greta; Panzeri, Francesca; Surian, Luca – Journal of Child Language, 2021
Several studies investigated preschoolers' ability to compute scalar and ad-hoc implicatures, but only one compared children's performance with both kinds of implicature with the same task, a picture selection task. In Experiment 1 (N = 58, age: 4;2-6;0), we first show that the truth value judgment task, traditionally employed to investigate…

Yusuke Sato – Journal for the Psychology of Language Learning, 2023
This study investigated the interactions among different cognitive abilities, linguistic structures, and the efficacy of different corrective feedback (CF) types. The cognitive abilities examined were declarative and procedural memory. The target linguistic structures were English regular and irregular past tense forms. In terms of the…

Choinski, Mateusz; Szelag, Elzbieta; Wolak, Tomasz; Szymaszek, Aneta – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Aphasia is often accompanied by impairment of non-language cognitive functions. Assessment of cognitive capacity in people with aphasia (PWA) with standard neuropsychological methods may be problematic due to their language difficulties. Numerous experimental studies indicate that P300 may be considered as an index of cognitive…

Arneson, Jessie B.; Offerdahl, Erika G. – Research in Science Education, 2023
Current initiatives to transform undergraduate STEM education in the United States advocate for the use of multidimensional learning, wherein instruction provides opportunities for students to gain competency with fundamental or cross-disciplinary concepts and practices. To achieve this goal, the discipline-based education research (DBER)…

Chen, Ouhao; Kalyuga, Slava – Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, 2021
Cognitive load theory (CLT) uses working memory resources depletion to explain the superiority of spaced learning, predicting that working memory resources will be less taxed if there are resting/spacing periods inserted between learning tasks, in comparison to learning from the same tasks in a single session. This article uses the working memory…

Cooper, Patrick K. – International Journal of Music Education, 2020
The utility of music training in schools has received much attention in the United States. The purported positive cognitive benefits of music training for schoolchildren is one facet which has historically been used to advocate for the existence of public school music programs. The purpose of this study was to conduct a random-effects…

Hedman, Eli; Hartelius, Lena; Saldert, Charlotta – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: Persons with Parkinson's disease (PD) frequently report word-finding difficulties. Many of the established tests are, however, insufficient in detecting mild cases of such symptoms. Results from earlier research have suggested that controlled oral word association tests (COWATs) with high demands on cognitive processing resources could…

Weiss, Staci Meredith; Marshall, Peter J. – Developmental Science, 2023
The development of the ability to anticipate--as manifested by preparatory actions and neural activation related to the expectation of an upcoming stimulus--may play a key role in the ontogeny of cognitive skills more broadly. This preregistered study examined anticipatory brain potentials and behavioral responses (reaction time; RT) to…

Bayazit, Alper; Bayram, Servet; Cumaoglu, Gonca Kizilkaya – World Journal on Educational Technology: Current Issues, 2018
Users sometimes face a common and serious problem called disorientation, which is defined as the feeling of being lost in a web-based environment. It is important to determine the reasons for disorientation in order to make the students navigate more efficiently in these environments. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship…
