Diksha Kharbanda; Ritesh Khunyakari – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2025
Recent literature emphasises the role of exploration, designerly play, creative thinking, and handling of materials in the beginning years of learning. This paper reports findings from a study involving 24 children (aged 4 to 10 years), where the researchers engaged with four-story contexts (tasks) that had embedded problem scenarios. In response…

Casey L. Roark; Vishal Thakkar; Bharath Chandrasekaran; Tracy M. Centanni – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Developmental dyslexia is proposed to involve selective procedural memory deficits with intact declarative memory. Recent research in the domain of category learning has demonstrated that adults with dyslexia have selective deficits in Information-Integration (II) category learning that is proposed to rely on procedural learning…

Oana Stanciu; Angela Jones; Nele Metzner; Yana Fandakova; Azzurra Ruggeri – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Successful active learning has often been quantified with respect to either the efficiency of information search or the accuracy of subsequent recall. In this article, we explored the hypothesis that children's memory is influenced by the types of information search strategies they implement, which may emphasize different aspects of the task…

Kristy L. Armitage; Sam J. Gilbert – Child Development Perspectives, 2025
Humans routinely use external thinking tools, like pencil and paper, maps, and calculators, to solve cognitive problems that would have once been solved internally. As many youth face unprecedented exposure to increasingly capable technological aids, there is a growing pressure to understand children's cognitive offloading capacities and…

Thapliyal, Monika; Ahuja, Neelu Jyothi; Shankar, Achyut; Cheng, Xiaochun; Kumar, Manoj – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2022
This paper presents the ontological design and implementation of the differentiated learning environment in the domain model of an intelligent tutoring system for children with specific learning disabilities. It addresses the learners need for differentiated instruction in a preferential learning environment. The proposed model helps to identify…

Orla Walsh; Conor Linehan; Christian Ryan – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2025
There is increasing interest in the use of games to scaffold social skills training for autistic children and youth. However, there is no consensus on how to best approach their design, so that learning opportunities are maximised. This article presents a systematic scoping review of empirical studies that use games as social skills training for…

Teaching Receptive Identification to Children Who Were Unsuccessful with a Standard Training Program
Kaylee R. Tomak – ProQuest LLC, 2020
This research strongly suggests that essentially all children with the skill of generalized matching can learn receptive identification, even if they have failed to do so, using the standard least-to-most prompting procedure. The effective alternative procedures were antecedent picture prompting (Stone & Malott, 2010), consequence picture…

Stijn Van Der Auwera; Bert De Smedt; Joke Torbeyns; Lieven Verschaffel – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
This study is the first to examine the associations between the occurrence, frequency, and adaptivity of children's subtraction by addition strategy use (SBA; e.g., 712 - 346 = ?; 346 + 54 = 400, 400 + 300 = 700, 700 + 12 = 712, and 54 + 300 + 12 = 366) and their underlying conceptual knowledge. Specifically, we focused on two rarely studied…

Ahmad, Faizan; Ahmed, Zeeshan; Muneeb, Sara – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2021
An improvement in cognitive performance through brain games play is implicit yet progressive. It is necessary to explore factors that potentially accelerate this improvement process. Like various other significant yet unexplored aspects, it is equally essential to establish a performative (fusion of accuracy and efficiency) insight about players'…

Manda Sue Foster – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore the perception of educators that moved away from a traditional learning environment with little movement and high academic stress through the introduction of project-based learning activities noting (a) the perception on behaviors specifically for students, ranging in age from 8 to 17…

Romero, Margarida; Barma, Sylvie – Canadian Journal of Learning and Technology, 2022
Problem-solving activities have been studied from a diversity of epistemological perspectives. In problem-solving activities, the initial tensions of a problematic situation led to a cognitive dissonance between conflicting motives and instruments to reach the activity goal. We analyze problem-solving in the continuation of Sannino and Laitinen's…

Mediation of Study Habits and Techniques between Music Training and Academic Achievement in Children
Katya Martin-Requejo; Alejandro González-Andrade; Aitor Álvarez-Bardón; Sandra Santiago-Ramajo – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
Although music training has been related to better school performance, the processes that may mediate this improvement are unknown. Given that study habits and techniques are one of the variables most closely related to academic achievement, the present study analyzed the differences in study habits and techniques between children with and without…

Casey K. Reimer; Heather Grantham; Andrew C. Butler – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2024
On average, deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children have difficulty developing expressive spoken vocabulary comparable to hearing peers. Yet, there are no evidence-based practices to guide classroom instruction for teachers of the deaf. Retrieval practice--a robust learning strategy--has been shown to improve children's retention of vocabulary,…

Riwayatiningsih, Rika; Setyarini, Sri; Putra, Rahmat Agung Azmi – International Journal of Language Education, 2021
Since young learners have different characteristics than adults, EFL teachers for young learners should treat them differently and possess sufficient metacognitive to promote critical thinking skills. This paper aims to portray teacher's metacognitive knowledge in EFL young learners' classroom particularly in promoting their critical thinking…

Kim, Sohyun An; Kasari, Connie – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Working memory is an important component of executive functioning, an area of difficulty for many autistic children. However, executive functioning and working memory are highly malleable throughout childhood, and various student-level and environmental factors play important roles in their development. This study used the Early Childhood…
