Jayantika Chakraborty; Alena G. Esposito – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2024
Self-derivation through integration is the process of integrating novel facts and producing new knowledge never directly taught. Knowledge integration has been studied with the presentation of two novel facts. However, in educational settings, individuals are required to integrate new information with prior knowledge learned days, months, or years…

Ha, Hyorim; Lee, Hee Seung – Metacognition and Learning, 2023
For successful learning, students need to evaluate their learning status relative to their learning goals and regulate their study in response to such monitoring. The present study investigated whether making metacognitive judgments on previously studied text would enhance the learning of that studied (backward effect) and newly studied text…

Pereverseff, Rosemary S.; Bodner, Glen E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Based on the classic distinction between semantic and episodic memory, people answer general-knowledge questions by querying their semantic memory. And yet, an appeal of trivia games is the variety of memory experiences they arouse--including the recollection of episodic details. We report the first in-depth exploration of the memory states that…

Tomasetto, Carlo; Morsanyi, Kinga; Guardabassi, Veronica; O'Connor, Patrick A. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Whereas some evidence exists that math anxiety may interfere with math performance from the very beginning of primary school, no study to date has attempted to investigate whether math anxiety may also interfere with early math learning (i.e., the encoding of new math knowledge) and not only with recalling already mastered contents in test…

Flynn, Erin E.; Schachter, Rachel E. – Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education, 2017
This study investigated eight prekindergarten teachers' underlying assumptions about how children learn, and how these assumptions were used to inform and enact instruction. By contextualizing teachers' knowledge and understanding as it is used in practice we were able to provide unique insight into the work of teaching. Participants focused on…

Benoliel, Pascale; Schechter, Chen – International Journal of Educational Management, 2017
Purpose: The ongoing challenge to sustain school learning and improvement requires schools to explore new ways, and at the same time exploit previous experience. The purpose of this paper is to attempt to expand the knowledge of mechanisms that can facilitate school learning processes by proposing boundary activities and learning mechanisms in…

Esposito, Alena G.; Bauer, Patricia J. – Grantee Submission, 2019
A primary objective of development is to build a knowledge base. To accumulate knowledge over time and experiences, learners must engage in productive processes, going beyond what is explicitly given to generate new knowledge. Though important to accumulating knowledge, these processes are also easily disrupted. Individuals often depend on surface…

Rawson, Katherine A.; Dunlosky, John – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2011
The literature on testing effects is vast but supports surprisingly few prescriptive conclusions for how to schedule practice to achieve both durable and efficient learning. Key limitations are that few studies have examined the effects of initial learning criterion or the effects of relearning, and no prior research has examined the combined…

Gillingham, Mark G.; Price, Gary Glen – Journal of Educational Research, 1987
A novel computer-delivered training task was given to 11 children in grades one and three and to 7 adults to observe their differences in content-general knowledge while equating subject-specific knowledge. Results are presented. (Author/MT)

Harnqvist, Kjell – Educational Researcher, 1977
Suggests that qualitative studies of how knowledge becomes organized and retrieved over long periods of time would be of great interest not only as a more naturalistic counterpart to the laboratory experiments on memory, but also for education generally. (Author/AM)

Farquhar, John D.; Surry, Daniel W. – Performance and Instruction, 1995
Presents a model of information processing that demonstrates how to facilitate knowledge acquisition. Various instructional strategies designed to reduce the effect of impositions are described, such as use of novelty, mystery, and questioning techniques; reducing complexity of instructional messages; and the automaticity of secondary skills.

Merriman, William E.; And Others – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 1988
Investigated the relation between age and rate of forgetting in 72 three-, four-, and six-year-olds in a task that eliminated differences in level of initial learning. Rate of forgetting was nearly identical in every age group. (RJC)

Potts, George R. – 1975
It is reasonable to assume that information such as the fact that "a beaver is larger than a mouse" is part of the average college student's generalized world knowledge. The present experiments examine the processes whereby new information is integrated with this type of generalized world knowledge. During the study phase of these…

Allix, Nicholas; Gronn, Peter – Educational Management Administration & Leadership, 2005
Despite a long history and considerable study, leadership remains a notoriously perplexing and enigmatic phenomenon. Although the "new leadership" perspective has revived convictions and general interest in leadership studies, conceptual and methodological problems nevertheless remain a feature of the research and theory-building terrain, and some…

Greeno, James G. – 1980
By 1960 there was a strongly developed theory of learning in which learning was considered as change of behavior. Neobehaviorist theories and then formal stochastic models analyzed processes in which probabilities of responses are altered. In the 1960's, analysis of learning as a discrete change between states of knowledge or stages of processing…
