Gamboa, Luis Fernando; Waltenberg, Fábio D. – Educational Assessment, 2015
Measuring the distance between countries and the goal of equality of opportunity in education has been the focus of recent contributions in the economic literature, which have concentrated either on intergroup gaps in access to a given level of studies or on intergroup gaps in educational achievement. We argue that both aspects are important and…

Lee, Dong-Min; Ryu, Jaemyong – Journal of Geography, 2013
This article examines possibilities associated with the cultivation of balanced regional images via the use of simple methods. Two experiments based on the primacy effect and the painting picture rule, or visual depiction of regions, were conducted. The results show significant differences in the formation of regional images. More specifically,…

Jurajda, Štepán; Münich, Daniel – Research Papers in Education, 2016
If school admission committees use alphabetically sorted lists of applicants in their evaluations, one's position in the alphabet according to last name initial may be important in determining access to selective schools. Jurajda and Münich (2010) "Admission to Selective Schools, Alphabetically". "Economics of Education…

Ward, Geoff; Tan, Lydia; Grenfell-Essam, Rachel – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2010
In 4 experiments, participants were presented with lists of between 1 and 15 words for tests of immediate memory. For all tasks, participants tended to initiate recall with the first word on the list for short lists. As the list length was increased, so there was a decreased tendency to start with the first list item; and, when free to do so,…

Couture, Mathieu; Lafond, Daniel; Tremblay, Sebastien – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2008
In a serial recall task, the "Hebb repetition effect" occurs when recall performance improves for a sequence repeated throughout the experimental session. This phenomenon has been replicated many times. Nevertheless, such cumulative learning seldom leads to perfect recall of the whole sequence, and errors persist. Here the authors report…

Guerard, Katherine; Tremblay, Sebastien – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2008
The authors revisited evidence in favor of modularity and of functional equivalence between the processing of verbal and spatial information in short-term memory. This was done by investigating the patterns of intrusions, omissions, transpositions, and fill-ins in verbal and spatial serial recall and order reconstruction tasks under control,…

Hughes, Robert W.; Marsh, John E.; Jones, Dylan M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2009
The mechanisms underlying the poorer serial recall of talker-variable lists (e.g., alternating female-male voices) as compared with single-voice lists were examined. We tested the novel hypothesis that this "talker variability effect" arises from the tendency for perceptual organization to partition the list into streams based on voice…

Urquiola, Miguel; Calderon, Valentina – International Journal of Educational Development, 2006
This paper uses household survey data to rank LAC countries' performance in two areas: (i) getting children into school on time and keeping them there, and (ii) turning their contact with the educational system into years of schooling. It presents multiple rankings because most countries' performance is not uniform across these dimensions. For…
