Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Gottsmann, Léa; Trohel, J.; Gal-Petitfaux, N. – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2023
Introduction: The introduction of competence-based approach in international educational official documents has been justified by the development of more active learning methods to respond to social and equality challenges for students. Competence is defined as a situated activity composed of several components, especially knowledge built in…

Cross, Emily S.; Cohen, Nichola Rice; de C. Hamilton, Antonia F.; Ramsey, Richard; Wolford, George; Grafton, Scott T. – Neuropsychologia, 2012
What does it mean to "know" what an object is? Viewing objects from different categories (e.g., tools vs. animals) engages distinct brain regions, but it is unclear whether these differences reflect object categories themselves or the tendency to interact differently with objects from different categories (grasping tools, not animals). Here we…

A 2.5-D Representation of the Human Hand
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Longo, Matthew R.; Haggard, Patrick – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012
Primary somatosensory maps in the brain represent the body as a discontinuous, fragmented set of two-dimensional (2-D) skin regions. We nevertheless experience our body as a coherent three-dimensional (3-D) volumetric object. The links between these different aspects of body representation, however, remain poorly understood. Perceiving the body's…

How Should We Question Young Children's Understanding of Aspectuality?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Waters, Gillian M.; Beck, Sarah R. – British Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2012
In two experiments, we investigated whether 4- to 5-year-old children's ability to demonstrate their understanding of aspectuality was influenced by how the test question was phrased. In Experiment 1, 60 children chose whether to look or feel to gain information about a hidden object (identifiable by sight or touch). Test questions referred either…

The Development and Robustness of Young Children's Understanding of Aspectuality
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Waters, Gillian M.; Beck, Sarah R. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2009
We investigated whether 6-year-olds' understanding of perceptual aspectuality was sufficiently robust to deal with the presence of irrelevant information. A total of 32 children chose whether to look or feel to locate a specific object (identifiable by sight or touch) from four objects that were hidden. In half of the trials, the objects were…

WILLIAMS, JOANNA P. – 1968
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TWO TRAINING METHODS TO FOCUS ATTENTION ON THE CRITICAL FEATURES OF LETTER-LIKE FORMS WAS STUDIED. SUBJECTS WERE 32 KINDERGARTEN PUPILS. SIX NONSYMETRICAL, STANDARD LETTER-LIKE FORMS AND FOUR TRANSFORMATIONS, CONSISTING OF RIGHT-LEFT AND UP-DOWN REVERSALS, 180 DEGREES AND 90 DEGREES ROTATION, WERE USED AS STIMULI TO LEARNING.…
