"Proceedings of International Conference on Studies in Education and Social Sciences" includes full papers presented at the International Conference on Studies in Education and Social Sciences (ICSES) which took place on November 7-10, 2024, in Istanbul, Turkey. The aim of the conference is to offer opportunities to share ideas, discuss…

Developmental differences in the allocation of processing capacity were examined in 32 second and sixth graders and 32 college students. (MP)

Four experiments involving kindergarten, second grade, and college students revealed that even kindergarten children used statement information effectively in interpreting ambiguous utterances. All three groups had difficulty using status information. (RH)

Two experiments suggest that the empirical finding of age differences in automatic frequency processing depends on the extent to which subjects can or do strategically process task materials in a differential fashion. This interpretation is considered compatible with a modified conception of automatic encoding which views such encoding processes…

Tests the theoretical proposition that developmental increase in memory span results from a corresponding increase in the use of grouping strategies. (BJD)

Six motion projections were presented to first graders, seventh graders, and college students (N=72) in order to determine whether children can utilize the same motion parallax information as can adults. (MP)

This research focused on preservice elementary teachers' understanding and reconstruction of understanding about multiplication in the domain of fractions. At the start of the study, 44% of the 50 preservice teachers studied reported that they had a method for reasoning about multiplication with fractions, and 28% were able to describe a situation…

Examines the effects of integration complexity on the ability of child and adult listeners to integrate information. Increases in complexity adversely affected children's more than adults' resolution integration. The children's integration performance was affected by theme discontinuity and conferential complexity. (Author/AS)

Examines the relative effectiveness of organizational strategy use at study versus test in a single-trial, free-recall learning task among 90 subjects drawn from second grade, sixth grade, and college levels. Developmental increases in performance were observed for the dependent measures of correct recall, study-trial organization, test-trial…

The results of experiments conducted with college-age subjects point to analogy and generalization as the most likely mechanisms for transferring spelling/sound correspondences in the absence of knowledge of the existence of the correspondences. (GT)

Two experiments comparing 114 good and poor readers in second and fourth grades as well as 26 college students found poor readers did not interpret spoken sentences as accurately as good readers and that their performance was like that of younger children suggesting a developmental lag in phonological processing skills. (Author/DB)

The XX IDEA annual conference has been focused and reflected on different ways and means of meeting various kinds of methodological challenges, new technologies and multi-media developments, newly emerging partnerships and collaboration between emerging sectors on one hand and between the institutions functioning with similar objectives and…

Two studies compare cognitive maps generated by first and fifth graders and college students. One study utilized a triangulation task, the other two used imagined situations. A practical methodology for such studies is introduced and a way of conceptualizing cognitive map development is suggested. (MS)

Forty elementary children (six and nine year olds) and 20 college students were required to discriminate identical pairs of visual stimuli from mirror images. It was hypothesized that a key factor in performance would be the extent to which orientation was a functionally significant attribute of the stimuli. (Author/MP)

A visual search task was used to investigate the development of word processing skills used in reading meaningful text, and to evaluate the relative difficulty of employing different types of units. Subjects were 20 second graders, 19 fourth graders, and 20 college students. (MP)
