Ajao, Adeola; Fitzallen, Noleine; Chick, Helen; Oates, Greg – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2023
In this paper, the SOLO taxonomy is used to identify different levels of student understanding of the statistical concepts associated with sampling distribution. This study was part of a research project investigating students' conceptual understanding of concepts of hypothesis testing taught with the support of simulation learning activities. The…

Perry, Conrad; Ziegler, Johannes C.; Zorzi, Marco – Cognitive Science, 2013
It is often assumed that graphemes are a crucial level of orthographic representation above letters. Current connectionist models of reading, however, do not address how the mapping from letters to graphemes is learned. One major challenge for computational modeling is therefore developing a model that learns this mapping and can assign the…

Inzunsa, Santiago; Mario Romero – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2012
This paper reports the results of a research about the strategies and difficulties developed by university students in the process of modeling and simulating of random phenomena in an environment of a spreadsheet. The results indicate that students had difficulties to identify key components of the problems, which are crucial to formulate a…

Anderson, Rachel J.; Dewhurst, Stephen A.; Nash, Robert A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2012
Recent literature has argued that whereas remembering the past and imagining the future make use of shared cognitive substrates, simulating future events places heavier demands on executive resources. These propositions were explored in 3 experiments comparing the impact of imagery and concurrent task demands on speed and accuracy of past event…

Turner, Brandon M.; Van Zandt, Trisha; Brown, Scott – Psychological Review, 2011
Signal detection theory forms the core of many current models of cognition, including memory, choice, and categorization. However, the classic signal detection model presumes the a priori existence of fixed stimulus representations--usually Gaussian distributions--even when the observer has no experience with the task. Furthermore, the classic…

Redondo Duarte, Sara; Learreta Ramos, Begoña; Ruiz Rosillo, María Auxiliadora; Alperstedt, Cristiane; Hazé, Emmanuël – International Journal of Pedagogies and Learning, 2015
The main objective of this article is to present the results of a study aimed at determining, classifying and evaluating practices of interest for general competency development and assessment in undergraduate programmes. The study encompassed the following phases: (1) focus group in order to establish a starting point regarding competency…
