Alexander Weigard; Takakuni Suzuki; Lena J. Skalaban; May Conley; Alexandra O. Cohen; Hugh Garavan; Mary M. Heitzeg; B. J. Casey; Chandra Sripada; Andrew Heathcote – Cognitive Science, 2024
Recent studies using the diffusion decision model find that performance across many cognitive control tasks can be largely attributed to a task-general efficiency of evidence accumulation (EEA) factor that reflects individuals' ability to selectively gather evidence relevant to task goals. However, estimates of EEA from an n-back "conflict…

L.; Edgar, J. Christopher – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Maturation of auditory cortex neural encoding processes was assessed in children with typical development (TD) and autism. Children 6-9 years old were enrolled at Time 1 (T1), with follow-up data obtained ~ 18 months later at Time 2 (T2), and ~ 36 months later at Time 3 (T3). Findings suggested an initial period of rapid auditory cortex maturation…

Harant, Martin – Pedagogy, Culture and Society, 2023
Both contemporary naturalist and deconstructivist theories share the suspicion of invoking an emphatic subject in education while not being able to address the question of what education is for in a constructive and value-based way. However, while naturalist theory also focuses on the human mind and its evolutionary origins, deconstructivism is…

Kimberly Buescher Urbanski; Mariana Lima Becker – Language Teaching Research Quarterly, 2024
In recent years, researchers from a Vygotskian Sociocultural Theory (V-SCT) perspective have sought to promote and trace the development of both emotion and cognition. Contributing to this emergent body of research, our study leveraged Concept-Based Language Instruction (C-BLI) and a Division-of-Labor Pedagogy (DOLP) to investigate the second…

Wolniak, Gregory C.; Gregory, Matthew M.; Muskens, Marjolein – Review of Higher Education, 2023
The study examines the associations between socioeconomic status (SES) and noncognitive development in first year college students, distinguishing between objective (or absolute) and subjective (or relative) measures of SES. The analyses draw from longitudinal data capturing college students (N = 2,488) at the start of the first year of college…

Frick, Aurélien; Chevalier, Nicolas – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
Cognitive control (also referred to as executive functions) corresponds to a set of cognitive processes that support the goal-directed regulation of thoughts and actions. It plays a major role in complex activities and predicts later academic achievement. Importantly, while growing up, children are progressively transitioning from engaging…

Kim, Dan; Opfer, John E. – Cognitive Science, 2021
Perceptual judgments result from a dynamic process, but little is known about the dynamics of number-line estimation. A recent study proposed a computational model that combined a model of trial-to-trial changes with a model for the internal scaling of discrete numbers. Here, we tested a surprising prediction of the model--a situation in which…
