Strømsø, Helge I. – Educational Psychologist, 2017
Research on multiple source use concerns how readers handle a number of different, often conflicting or discrepant, information sources to construct a mental representation of content. Students are increasingly being exposed to such complex reading situations, both in and outside of school. The digital world demands multiple source use, and…

Graf, Edith Aurora – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2014
In "How Task Features Impact Evidence from Assessments Embedded in Simulations and Games," Almond, Kim, Velasquez, and Shute have prepared a thought-provoking piece contrasting the roles of task model variables in a traditional assessment of mathematics word problems to their roles in "Newton's Playground," a game designed…

Smallwood, Jonathan – Psychological Bulletin, 2010
When the mind wanders, conscious thoughts come to mind that are only loosely related to the task being performed. This phenomenon produces tension within the cognitive sciences because the interfering nature of these thoughts is at odds with the assumption that such processes are functional in daily life. In their comment, McVay and Kane (2010)…

Barrouillet, Pierre; Portrat, Sophie; Vergauwe, Evie; Diependaele, Kevin; Camos, Valerie – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2011
The sources of forgetting in working memory (WM) are a matter of intense debate: Is there a time-related decay of memory traces, or is forgetting uniquely due to representation-based interference? In a previous study, we claimed to have provided evidence supporting the temporal decay hypothesis (S. Portrat, P. Barrouillet, & V. Camos, 2008).…

Juvina, Ion; van Oostendorp, Herre – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2008
Research on cognitive modeling of information search and Web navigation emphasizes the importance of "information scent" (the relevance of semantic cues such as link labels and headings to a reader's goal; Pirolli & Card, 1999). This article shows that not only semantic but also structural knowledge is involved in navigating the Web…

Hannum, Wallace H. – NSPI Journal, 1980
Presents a four-step model for learning task analysis that is based on empirical and theoretical footings: (1) identification of instructional goals/tasks, (2) specification of behavioral contributors, (3) classification of contributors into learning domains, and (4) application of varying analytical procedures to tasks in each domain.

McIntyre, A. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 1993
Examines problems of existing courseware authoring systems and suggests the use of knowledge-based techniques. A prototype knowledge-based representation language called GTE (Generic Tutoring Environment) is described that could form the basis of a full authoring environment, including generic tasks and instructional methods, domain knowledge, and…

Jeng, Ling Hwey; Weiss, Karen B. – Information Processing and Management, 1994
Discussion of the development of expert systems for cataloging focuses on a feasibility study conducted at the National Agricultural Library. Topics addressed include the nature of cataloging expertise; limitations of existing expert systems; research on cataloging expertise; and a model for cataloging expertise based on five cataloging task…
