Nora Turoman; Evie Vergauwe – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
There is growing recognition that working memory and selective attention are highly related. However, a key function of selective attention--ignoring distractors--is much less understood in the domain of working memory. In the attention domain, it is now clear that distractors' task relevance and stimulation of multiple senses at a time (i.e.,…

Alena Egorova; Vy Ngo; Allison S. Liu; Molly Mahoney; Justine Moy; Erin Ottmar – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2024
Perceptual learning theory suggests that perceptual grouping in mathematical expressions can direct students' attention toward specific parts of problems, thus impacting their mathematical reasoning. Using in-lab eye tracking and a sample of 85 undergraduates from a STEM-focused university, we investigated how higher-order operator position (HOO;…

Sourav Choudhury; Nikita Ruth D’cruz; Joy Prakash Deb; Samiul Biswas; Sandeep Dagdu Patil – Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in Education, 2025
The study aimed at exploring the relationship between social media disorder and academic procrastination, and to thereby investigate the mediating effects of intrusive thinking and fatigue. By enrolling 412 undergraduate college students in India, the interconnectedness of the four variables was investigated using Social Media Disorder scale by…

Nicolas Michinov; Jérôme Hutain – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2024
Multitasking activities among students using various technological devices is common during lectures, and many studies have demonstrated their deleterious effects on various learning outcomes. In contrast, fewer studies have examined ways to reduce multitasking and stimulate engagement in learning. The present study provides an educational…

Thomas Mathias; Andrew Goldman – Journal of Research in Music Education, 2025
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of three schedules of practice on high-level violinists' learning. The contextual interference (CI) effect occurs when two or more tasks are practiced in an interleaved manner, which has been shown to impair initial learning but improve retention. How a musician alternates between tasks…

Weissman, Daniel H. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Although domain-specificity is prevalent in models of human cognition, its presence is not always easy to verify. For example, according to one prominent model, experiencing conflict from an incongruent distractor in a Stroop-like task triggers an upregulation of domain-specific control that facilitates the resolution of the same, but not a…

McCarthy, Minako – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Strikingly brutal racial violence has occurred repeatedly in recent decades worldwide. Racial and ethnic biases have become critical and urgent topics in multicultural societies because they impact racial violence (Lawson, 2015; Park, 2017). Simultaneously, when students and teachers have biased perceptions toward others, it interferes with their…

Ariel, Yaron; Elishar-Malka, Vered – Education and Information Technologies, 2019
This study examined the viewpoints of lecturers and students regarding the roles of smartphones in the classroom: how legitimate is it to use them in class, and in what ways? Does the usage of smartphones impair in-class learning processes, and if it does, can we tie specific uses with specific disruptions to the class? Conversely, could it be…

Crossley, Matthew J.; Maddox, W. Todd; Ashby, F. Gregory – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Interventions for drug abuse and other maladaptive habitual behaviors may yield temporary success but are often fragile and relapse is common. This implies that current interventions do not erase or substantially modify the representations that support the underlying addictive behavior--that is, they do not cause true unlearning. One example of an…

Acarturk, Cengiz; Ozcelik, Erol – Journal of Experimental Education, 2017
This study investigates secondary-task interference on eye movements through learning with multimedia. We focus on the relationship between the influence of the secondary task on the eye movements of learners, and the learning outcomes as measured by retention, matching, and transfer. Half of the participants performed a spatial tapping task while…

Laski, Elida V.; Dulaney, Alana – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2015
The present study tested the "interference hypothesis"-that learning and using more advanced representations and strategies requires the inhibition of prior, less advanced ones. Specifically, it examined the relation between inhibitory control and number line estimation performance. Experiment 1 compared the accuracy of adults' (N = 53)…
