Cécile Barbachoux – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2025
In an era of constant digital distractions, maintaining attention is a growing challenge for young students. This paper explores how STEM education and AI-driven learning tools can enhance attention skills by fostering problem-solving, analytical thinking, and cognitive endurance. STEM disciplines require sustained focus, while AI-powered adaptive…

Gonthier, Corentin; Ambrosi, Solène; Blaye, Agnès – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Cognitive control can be triggered by explicit or implicit events; it has been proposed that these two possibilities tap into dissociable mechanisms. In this study, we investigate this idea by testing whether young children, who struggle with explicitly triggered control, can demonstrate proportion congruency effects--which are based on implicit…

Fishman-Weaver, Kathryn – Prufrock Press Inc., 2020
"Brain-Based Learning with Gifted Students" combines relevant research in neuroscience with engaging activities for gifted elementary students in grades 3-6. This book: (1) Teaches how development and learning processes happen in the brain; (2) Helps students and teachers explore specific brain-based concepts together; (3) Includes a…

Purnanto, Arif Wiyat; Triana, Putri Meinita; Rahmawati, Laili Etika – Journal of Education and Learning (EduLearn), 2020
Cognitive dimensions development is one of the objective of education. This research aimed to identify the structure, evaluate the focus, analyze the conformity toward the referred adoption standard, and evaluate the emphasis of thinking skill order of cognitive processes in the e-textbook for 4th grade students. Evaluation was carried out for the…

Acar, Ömer; Azakli, Zeynep – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2023
The effect of online argumentation and reflective thinking-based science teaching on sixth-grade students' epistemic cognition, metacognition, and logical thinking was explored in this study. The research was carried out in the 2020-2021 academic year when all teaching was online due to COVID-19. Students in the study sample were mostly from…

Zax, Alexandra; Williams, Katherine; Patalano, Andrea L.; Slusser, Emily; Cordes, Sara; Barth, Hilary – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2019
Similar estimation biases appear in a wide range of quantitative judgments, across many tasks and domains. Often, these biases (those that occur, for example, when adults or children indicate remembered locations of objects in bounded spaces) are believed to provide evidence of Bayesian or rational cognitive processing, and are explained in terms…

Gadzichowski, K. M.; Peterson, M. S.; Pasnak, R.; Bock, A. M.; Fetterer-Robinson, S. O. J. M.; Schmerold, K. L. – Grantee Submission, 2018
"Patterning" is a cognitive intervention that is unknown to psychologists, but has nevertheless been taught for half a century in nearly all kindergartens and many preschools in English-speaking countries. Patterning is the understanding that a certain rule governs the sequence of items in a series. At the simplest level, if the series…

Solange Denervaud; Eleonora Fornari; Xiao-Fei Yang; Patric Hagmann; Mary Helen Immordino-Yang; David Sander – npj Science of Learning, 2020
The development of error monitoring is central to learning and academic achievement. However, few studies exist on the neural correlates of children's error monitoring, and no studies have examined its susceptibility to educational influences. Pedagogical methods differ on how they teach children to learn from errors. Here, 32 students (aged 8-12…

Steps in Theory-of-Mind Development in Hong Kong Cantonese-Speaking Children with and without Autism
Chi-Hang Cheung, Candice; Rong, Yicheng; Durrleman, Stephanie – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2022
It has been debated whether the progressive emergence of theory of mind (ToM) in autistic children is compatible with a "delayed" or "different" development model, and whether and how the sequential consolidation of ToM concepts is subject to cross-cultural variations in autistic and typically developing (TD) children. To study…

Hallman-Thrasher, Allyson; Spangler, Denise A. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2020
We share ideas for preparing for and enacting high-cognitive demand tasks in ways that support students in articulating and justifying their ideas. We offer strategies for developing and posing several types of purposeful questions: (1) eliciting thinking, (2) generating ideas, (3) clarifying explanations, and (4) justifying claims.

Broadbent, H. J.; Osborne, T.; Rea, M.; Peng, A.; Mareschal, D.; Kirkham, N. Z. – Developmental Psychology, 2018
Multisensory information has been shown to facilitate learning (Bahrick & Lickliter, 2000; Broadbent, White, Mareschal, & Kirkham, 2017; Jordan & Baker, 2011; Shams & Seitz, 2008). However, although research has examined the modulating effect of unisensory and multisensory distractors on multisensory processing, the extent to which…

Qin, Jike; Kim, Dan; Opfer, John – Grantee Submission, 2017
There is an ongoing debate over the psychophysical functions that best fit human data from numerical estimation tasks. To test whether one psychophysical function could account for data across diverse tasks, we examined 40 kindergartners, 38 first graders, 40 second graders and 40 adults' estimates using two fully crossed 2 × 2 designs, crossing…

Kim, Dan; Opfer, John E. – Developmental Psychology, 2017
Representations of numerical value have been assessed by using bounded (e.g., 0-1,000) and unbounded (e.g., 0-?) number-line tasks, with considerable debate regarding whether 1 or both tasks elicit unique cognitive strategies (e.g., addition or subtraction) and require unique cognitive models. To test this, we examined how well a mixed log-linear…

McMullen, Jake; Hannula-Sormunen, Minna M.; Laakkonen, Eero; Lehtinen, Erno – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2016
Many people have serious difficulties in understanding rational numbers, limiting their ability to interpret and make use of them in modern daily life. This also leads to later difficulties in learning more advanced mathematical content. In this study, novel tasks are used to measure 263 late primary school students' spontaneous focusing on…

Rouder, Jeffrey N.; Geary, David C. – Developmental Science, 2014
Learning of the mathematical number line has been hypothesized to be dependent on an inherent sense of approximate quantity. Children's number line placements are predicted to conform to the underlying properties of this system; specifically, placements are exaggerated for small numerals and compressed for larger ones. Alternative hypotheses…
