Bradley, Holly; Smith, Beth A.; Wilson, Rujuta B. – Infant and Child Development, 2023
Joint attention (JA) is the purposeful coordination of an individual's focus of attention with that of another and begins to develop within the first year of life. Delayed, or atypically developing, JA is an early behavioural sign of many developmental disabilities and so assessing JA in infancy can improve our understanding of trajectories of…

Hu, Yuhang; Plonsky, Luke – Second Language Research, 2021
Statistical tests carry with them a number of assumptions that must be checked. Failing to do so and to report the results of such preliminary analyses introduce a potential threat to the internal validity of a study and to our ability as consumers to put faith in study findings. This article systematically examines the reporting of checks on…

Harwell, Michael; Maeda, Yukiko; Bishop, Kyoungwon; Xie, Aolin – Journal of Experimental Education, 2017
Measures of socioeconomic status (SES) are routinely used in analyses of achievement data to increase statistical power, statistically control for the effects of SES, and enhance causality arguments under the premise that the SES-achievement relationship is moderate to strong. Empirical evidence characterizing the strength of the SES-achievement…

Follmer, D. Jake – Educational Psychologist, 2018
This article presents a meta-analytic review of the relation between executive function and reading comprehension. Results (N = 6,673) supported a moderate positive association between executive function and reading comprehension (r = 0.36). Moderator analyses suggested that correlations between executive function and reading comprehension did not…

Maeda, Yukiko; Harwell, Michael R. – Mid-Western Educational Researcher, 2016
The "Q" test is regularly used in meta-analysis to examine variation in effect sizes. However, the assumptions of "Q" are unlikely to be satisfied in practice prompting methodological researchers to conduct computer simulation studies examining its statistical properties. Narrative summaries of this literature are available but…

Christodoulou, Joan; Lac, Andrew; Moore, David S. – Developmental Psychology, 2017
Wynn's (1992) seminal research reported that infants looked longer at stimuli representing "incorrect" versus "correct" solutions of basic addition and subtraction problems and concluded that infants have innate arithmetical abilities. Since then, infancy researchers have attempted to replicate this effect, yielding mixed…

Anil, Özgür; Batdi, Veli; Küçüközer, Hüseyin – Educational Sciences: Theory and Practice, 2018
Using meta-analysis, this study examines the effect of computer-supported education on students' attitudes and determines the degree to which the effect size obtained by combining the effect sizes of various studies differs, in terms of educational level, course subjects and application duration. Based on the inclusion criteria, a total of 32…

Hong, Ee Rea; Davis, John L.; Neely, Leslie; Ganz, Jennifer B.; Morin, Kristi; Ninci, Jennifer; Boles, Margot B. – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2017
Functional living skills are skills needed for being an independent individual in society. As individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) get older, the discrepancy between functional living skills of themselves and their peers increases. However, it is not known which type of intervention is more or less effective specifically for adolescent-…

Graham, Steve; Collins, Alyson A.; Rigby-Wills, Hope – Exceptional Children, 2017
There is a general consensus that writing is a challenging task for students with learning disabilities (LD). To identify more precisely the extent and depth of the challenges that these students experience with writing, the authors conducted a meta-analysis comparing the writing performance of students with LD to their typically achieving peers.…

Lee, Jiyeon; Yoon, So Yoon – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2017
The purpose of this research was to systematically review the effects of repeated reading (RR) interventions on reading fluency to provide instructional strategies for students with reading disabilities (RD). Correct words per minute were coded as an outcome variable in a search that yielded 34 RR intervention studies from 1990 to 2014 for…

Kangas, Marjaana; Koskinen, Antti; Krokfors, Leena – Teachers and Teaching: Theory and Practice, 2017
The interest towards research on learning games is continuously growing, however, the integration of games in teaching is still a somewhat unexplored area of study. In this qualitative literature review, we were interested in the pedagogical foundations that underpin empirical studies and especially in the teacher's role/activities regarding the…

Sinclair, James; Hansen, Sarah G.; Machalicek, Wendy; Knowles, Christen; Hirano, Kara A.; Dolata, Jill K.; Blakely, Allison W.; Seeley, John; Murray, Christopher – Exceptional Children, 2018
Given the continued changes in demographic diversity of students in the United States, it is important to ensure that participants included in special education research reflect the diversity of the classroom. We examined 16 years of intervention research across 12 special education journals to evaluate the extent to which diverse student…

Ozturk, Meral – Reading Matrix: An International Online Journal, 2017
Dictionary studies have suggested that nearly half of the English lexicon have multiple meanings. It is not yet clear, however, if second language learners reading English texts will encounter words with multiple meanings to the same degree. This study investigates the use of words with multiple meanings in an authentic English novel. Two samples…

Elleman, Amy M. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2017
Inference ability is considered central to discourse processing and has been shown to be important across models of reading comprehension. To evaluate the impact of inference instruction, a meta-analysis of 25 inference studies in Grades K-12 was conducted. Results showed that inference instruction was effective for increasing students' general…
