Martina Arioli; Valentina Silvestri; Angelo Petrelli; Daniela Morniroli; Maria Lorella Giannì; Hermann Bulf; Viola Macchi Cassia – Child Development, 2025
Four-month-old infants extract ordinal information in number-based and size-based visual sequences, provided that magnitude changes involve increasing relations. Here the ontogenetic origins of ordinal processing were investigated between 2018 and 2022 by testing newborns' discrimination of reversal in numerosity (Experiment 1, N = 22 White, 11…

Baptiste Van Eeckhout; Nicolas Michinov; Karine Le Rudulier – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2025
For several decades, brainstorming in groups and its variants have been widely examined in research as a technique to produce ideas. The way to stimulate elaboration by linking ideas to those previously given by others during a brainstorming session is a challenge for researchers and practitioners aiming to go beyond idea generation. Despite…

Partially Masking Task-Irrelevant Speech Has Opposite Effects on Metacognitive Judgments of Distraction and Objective Distraction Effects
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Gesa Fee Komar; Axel Buchner; Laura Mieth; Raoul Bell – Metacognition and Learning, 2025
Two experiments served to test the hypothesis that partially masking speech with pink noise (Experiment 1) or speech babble (Experiment 2) induces particularly pronounced metacognitive illusions in judgments about the distracting effects of task-irrelevant speech on cognitive performance. We hypothesized that the experimental manipulations would…

Though verbal rehearsal is a frequently endorsed strategy for remembering short lists among adults, there is ambiguity around when children deploy it, and what circumstantial factors encourage them to rehearse. We recoded data from a recent multilab replication of a serial picture memory task in which children were observed for evidence of…

A Field Experiment on Mnemonic and Conceptual Understanding among Chinese Elementary School Students
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kitty K. Y. Tsang; Shui-fong Lam – Chinese Education & Society, 2025
This study compared the effectiveness of two encoding strategies (peg system vs. conceptual understanding) on serial learning. Sixty Chinese 5th graders from a primary school in Hong Kong participated in training on the two strategies in two consecutive weeks. While half of the students learned peg system in the first week and conceptual…
