Unlike children's early ability to navigate by continuous boundaries, their ability to extract geometric information from an array of objects emerges gradually over childhood. To investigate children's developing representation of object arrays for navigation and its relation to their mental representation of the global spatial layout,…

Atmaca, Furkan; Yildiz-Demirtas, Vesile – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2023
The present study investigated the effects of the cognitive enhancement training (COGENT) program on the reading skills (reading speed, reading errors, and reading comprehension) and writing skills (dictation and text copying) of students with specific learning disabilities (SLD). The study was conducted with an experimental design. The study…

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…

Mehrabi, Marzieh; Rahmatian, Rouhollah; Safa, Parivash; Armiun, Novid – International Education Studies, 2014
This paper analyzes the spoken corpus of thirty Iranian learners of French at four levels (A1, A2, B1 and B2). The data were collected in a pseudo-longitudinal manner in semi-directed interviews with half closed and open questions to analyze the learners' syntactic errors (omission, addition, substitution and displacement). The most frequent…

Veerasamy, Ashok Kumar; D'Souza, Daryl; Laakso, Mikko-Jussi – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2016
This article presents a study aimed at examining the novice student answers in an introductory programming final e-exam to identify misconceptions and types of errors. Our study used the Delphi concept inventory to identify student misconceptions and skill, rule, and knowledge-based errors approach to identify the types of errors made by novices…

Swannell, Ellen R.; Dewhurst, Stephen A. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2013
The effect of list length on children's false memories was investigated using list and story versions of the Deese/Roediger-McDermott procedure. Short (7 items) and long (14 items) sequences of semantic associates were presented to children aged 6, 8, and 10 years old either in lists or embedded within a story that emphasized the list theme.…

Ranjeeth, S.; Naidoo, Ramu – College Teaching Methods & Styles Journal, 2007
Computer Programming forms the basis from which most students in the IS/IT discipline launch themselves into further endeavors in the discipline. However, statistical analysis of students' performances in programming related assessments tasks reveals that the mastery of computer programming skills is not easily acquired. This assertion is…

Deneault, Joane; Ricard, Marcelle – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2006
This study investigated the development of the understanding of class inclusion in children age 5, 7, and 9 years, whose performance on a qualitative class-inference task assessing their appreciation of the transitive and asymmetrical nature of inclusive relations within the animal domain was compared with their ability to make quantitative…

Shu, Bih-Ching; Lung, For-Wey; Tien, Allen Y.; Chen, Bor-Chih – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2001
A study involving 26 Taiwanese children (ages 6-12) with autism and 52 controls found scores on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test were significantly higher for controls for categories completed and percent conceptual level. Scores on perseverative responses, perseverative errors, and non-perseverative errors were higher for those with autism.…

Paik, Jae H.; Mix, Kelly S. – Child Development, 2003
Two experiments tested claim that transparency of Korean fraction names promotes fraction concepts. Findings indicated that U.S. and Korean first- and second-graders erred similarly on a fraction-identification task, by treating fractions as whole numbers. Korean children performed at chance when whole-number representation was included but…

Brainerd, Charles J. – Child Development, 1983
Presents a stochastic model for distinguishing mental arithmetic errors according to causes of failure. A series of experiments (1) studied questions of goodness of fit and model validity among four and five year olds and (2) used the model to measure the relative contributions of developmental improvements in short-term memory and arithmetical…
