Predicting University Students' Exam Performance Using a Model-Based Adaptive Fact-Learning System
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Sense, Florian; van der Velde, Maarten; van Rijn, Hedderik – Journal of Learning Analytics, 2021
Modern educational technology has the potential to support students to use their study time more effectively. Learning analytics can indicate relevant individual differences between learners, which adaptive learning systems can use to tailor the learning experience to individual learners. For fact learning, cognitive models of human memory are…

What Children Recall about a Repeated Event When One Instance Is Different from the Others
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Connolly, Deborah A.; Gordon, Heidi M.; Woiwod, Dayna M.; Price, Heather L. – Developmental Psychology, 2016
This research examined whether a memorable and unexpected change (deviation details) presented during 1 instance of a repeated event facilitated children's memory for that instance and whether a repeated event facilitated children's memory for deviation details. In Experiments 1 and 2, 8-year-olds (N = 167) watched 1 or 4 live magic shows.…

Predictors of Responsiveness to Early Literacy Intervention: A 10-Year Update
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lam, Elizabeth A.; McMaster, Kristen L. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2014
The purpose of this review was to update previous reviews on factors related to students' responsiveness to early literacy intervention. The 14 studies in this synthesis used experimental designs, provided small-group or one-on-one reading interventions, and analyzed factors related to responsiveness to those interventions. Participants were…

The Role of Memory for Past Test in the Underconfidence with Practice Effect
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Finn, Bridgid; Metcalfe, Janet – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2007
According to the Memory for Past Test (MPT) heuristic, judgments of learning (JOLs) may be based, in part, on memory for the correctness of answers on a previous test. The authors explored MPT as the source of the underconfidence with practice effect (UWP; A. Koriat, L. Sheffer, & H. Ma'ayan, 2002), whereby Trial 1 overconfidence switches to …

The Prediction, from Infancy, of Adult IQ and Achievement
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Fagan, Joseph F.; Holland, Cynthia R.; Wheeler, Karyn – Intelligence, 2007
Young adults, originally tested as infants for their ability to process information as measured by selective attention to novelty (an operational definition of visual recognition memory), were revisited. A current estimate of IQ was obtained as well as a measure of academic achievement. Information processing ability at 6-12 months was predictive…

A Meta-Analysis of Infant Habituation and Recognition Memory Performance as Predictors of Later IQ.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McCall, Robert B.; Carriger, Michael S. – Child Development, 1993
This review of literature on infant habituation and recognition memory performance as predictors of later IQ concludes that the level of prediction is (1) substantial; (2) higher for at-risk than nonrisk children; and (3) not higher than the level of predictions based on parental education and socioeconomic status.
