Norbert Vanek; Haoruo Zhang – Language Learning, 2024
Event segmentation tests have shown substantial overlaps in how adults recognize starts and endpoints as events unfold. However, far less is known about what role different language systems play in the process. Variations in grammatical aspect have been shown to influence event processing. We tested how closely first language (L1) speakers of…

Paraskevi Michael-Chrysanthou; Areti Panaoura; Athanasios Gagatsis; Iliada Elia – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
The present study examines secondary school students' geometrical figure apprehension based on Duval's theoretical framework regarding perceptual, operative, and discursive apprehension. The aim is to explore the cognitive structure of the geometrical figure apprehension dimensions (operative, discursive, and perceptual) in three grades of…

Ahmet Tasdere; Mehmet Fatih Kaya – Science Education International, 2023
The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of the Common Knowledge Construction Model (CKCM) on 10th-grade students' conceptual understanding of the buoyancy and density of liquids topic. Within a pre-experimental (one group pre-test/post-test) research design, this study was conducted with 22 of 10th-grade students. To collect data, the…

Jennifer Hu – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Language is one of the hallmarks of intelligence, demanding explanation in a theory of human cognition. However, language presents unique practical challenges for quantitative empirical research, making many linguistic theories difficult to test at naturalistic scales. Artificial neural network language models (LMs) provide a new tool for studying…

Zwanch, Karen – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2019
The number sequences describe a hierarchy of students' concepts of number. This research uses two defining cognitive structures of the number sequences--units coordination and the splitting operation--to model middle-grades students' abilities to write linear equations representing the multiplicative relationship between two unknowns. Results…

Nitchot, Athitaya; Wettayaprasit, Wiphada; Gilbert, Lester – Education and Information Technologies, 2019
This research proposes a Web-based system for constructing knowledge structures and suggesting study materials links. Within Web-based learning, it is still difficult for learners to identify and choose study materials that match their current and desired abilities. In addition, learners may fail to recognize missing prerequisite learning, and may…

Wang, Shuhan – ProQuest LLC, 2019
A common drawback in traditional language education is that all students in the same class use the same content. Since students may have different backgrounds such as prior knowledge and learning speed, one single curriculum may not be able to accommodate every student. Unfortunately, most students cannot afford personalized language learning,…

Reimer, Jason F.; Radvansky, Gabriel A.; Lorsbach, Thomas C.; Armendarez, Joseph J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Recently, a great deal of research has demonstrated that although everyday experience is continuous in nature, it is parsed into separate events. The aim of the present study was to examine whether event structure can influence the effectiveness of cognitive control. Across 5 experiments we varied the structure of events within the AX-CPT by…

Weaver, Starla M.; Arrington, Catherine M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2013
The current study explored the potential for hierarchical representations to influence action selection during voluntary task switching. Participants switched between 4 individual task elements. In Experiment 1, participants were encouraged to represent the task elements as grouped within a hierarchy based on experimental manipulations of varying…

Ruggeri, Azzurra; Lombrozo, Tania; Griffiths, Thomas L.; Xu, Fei – Developmental Psychology, 2016
Children are active learners: they learn not only from the information people offer and the evidence they happen to observe, but by actively seeking information. However, children's information search strategies are typically less efficient than those of adults. In two studies, we isolate potential sources of developmental change in how children…

Saçkes, Mesut – Educational Sciences: Theory and Practice, 2015
This study aims to examine kindergarten children's mental models of the day and night cycle and provide implications for pedagogical practices targeting space science concepts in early childhood classrooms. A total of 46 kindergartners participated in the study, their age ranging from 60 to 75 months, including 22 boys and 24 girls.…

Tabor, Whitney; Cho, Pyeong W.; Dankowicz, Harry – Cognitive Science, 2013
Human participants and recurrent ("connectionist") neural networks were both trained on a categorization system abstractly similar to natural language systems involving irregular ("strong") classes and a default class. Both the humans and the networks exhibited staged learning and a generalization pattern reminiscent of the…

Derosier, Sharline; Soslau, Elizabeth – Education, 2014
Research shows that teachers' efficacy relates to pupil achievement. Strong efficacy, or a self-belief that one can positively impact pupil learning, is risked when teachers develop concerns related to pupil learning. This study explored the perceived concerns of teacher candidates (N = 3) throughout an eight-week clinical field experience.…

Barabási, Tünde – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2013
One of the most important tasks of the elementary (and not only) education we can find the teaching pupils to learn. The main topic of this paper is the presentation of the effects of teacher's experiences gotten in their own learning process as students or adults on the development of children's learning strategies. As the research was made in…

Sewell, David K.; Lewandowsky, Stephan – Cognitive Psychology, 2011
Knowledge restructuring refers to changes in the strategy with which people solve a given problem. Two types of knowledge restructuring are supported by existing category learning models. The first is a relearning process, which involves incremental updating of knowledge as learning progresses. The second is a recoordination process, which…
