Nir Shalev; Sage Boettcher; Anna C. Nobre – npj Science of Learning, 2024
Older adults struggle with tasks requiring selective attention amidst distractions. Experimental observations about age-related decline have relied on visual search designs using static displays. However, natural environments often embed dynamic structures that afford proactive anticipation of task-relevant information. We investigate the capacity…

Zieff; Melissa Gladstone; Kirsten A. Donald; Dima Amso – Child Development, 2025
Cognitive development is associated with how predictable caregivers are, but the mechanisms driving this are unclear. One possibility is caregiver predictability initially shapes how infants gather information for learning. Here, caregiver-infant dyads (N = 222, 2-6-months-old, all female caregivers; data collected 2022-2023) in South Africa and…

Harris, Anthony M.; Eayrs, Joshua O.; Lavie, Nilli – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2023
Highly-automated technologies are increasingly incorporated into existing systems, for instance in advanced car models. Although highly automated modes permit non-driving activities (e.g. internet browsing), drivers are expected to reassume control upon a 'take over' signal from the automation. To assess a person's readiness for takeover,…

Herrera, Estibaliz; Alcalá, José A.; Tazumi, Toru; Buckley, Matthew G.; Prados, José; Urcelay, Gonzalo P. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Over the last 50 years, cue competition phenomena have shaped theoretical developments in animal and human learning. However, recent failures to observe competition effects in standard conditioning procedures, as well as the lengthy and ongoing debate surrounding cue competition in the spatial learning literature, have cast doubts on the…

Broeker, Laura; Ewolds, Harald; de Oliveira, Rita F.; Künzell, Stefan; Raab, Markus – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2021
The aim of this study was to examine the impact of predictability on dual-task performance by systematically manipulating predictability in either one of two tasks, as well as between tasks. According to capacity-sharing accounts of multitasking, assuming a general pool of resources two tasks can draw upon, predictability should reduce the need…

Lovegrove, Rhianna A.; Baumann, Oliver – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
Spatial navigation is a fundamental cognitive function essential for daily life. Navigation skill assessment predominantly relies on self-reports, with varying accounts regarding their validity. The current study aimed to determine whether performance on an objective visual scene memory recognition ability task could serve as a valid predictor of…

Becker, Sebastian; Küchemann, Stefan; Klein, Pascal; Lichtenberger, Andreas; Kuhn, Jochen – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Eye tracking enables the reconstruction of eye movements and thus the analysis of visual information selection and integration processes during problem solving. In this way, learner-specific difficulties can be identified and problem-solving process can be adapted accordingly. For such an adaptation, the prediction of response behavior plays a…

Smail Layes; Sana Tibi; Marjolaine Cohen; Linda Lombardino – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2024
This study examined the relationships between word reading and rapid automatized naming (RAN) for objects and letters in Arabic-speaking children with and without dyslexia to determine potential modulating effects of color on naming by comparing children's performance on color and black-white RAN plates. Participants were 114 Arabic-speaking third…

Gregory Warren Orr – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This dissertation investigates the impact of cross-modal binding on word reading skills among English Language Learners (ELLs). Using Baddeley's updated working memory model, which includes the Episodic Buffer, this study examines how the ability to bind visual and phonological information in memory influences the reading development of ELL…

Wilkey, Eric D.; Shanley, Lina; Sabb, Fred; Ansari, Daniel; Cohen, Jason C.; Men, Virany; Heller, Nicole A.; Clarke, Ben – Developmental Science, 2022
Children's ability to discriminate nonsymbolic number (e.g., the number of items in a set) is a commonly studied predictor of later math skills. Number discrimination improves throughout development, but what drives this improvement is unclear. Competing theories suggest that it may be due to a sharpening numerical representation or an improved…

Cheung, Rachael W.; Hartley, Calum; Monaghan, Padraic – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify variability in word-learning mechanisms used by late-talking children using a longitudinal study design, which may explain variability in late-talking children's outcomes. Method: A cohort of typically developing children (n = 40) and children who were classified as late-talking children at age 2;0…

Qian, Yiming; Seisler, Andrea R.; Gilmore, Rick O. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Observers experience complex patterns of visual motion in daily life due to their own movements through space, the movement of objects, and the geometry of surfaces in the visible world. Motion information shapes behavior and brain activity beginning in infancy. And yet most prior behavioral research has focused on how children process only one…

Key-DeLyria, Sarah E.; Bodner, Todd; Altmann, Lori J. P. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2019
Conventional opinion about using Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) for examining sentence comprehension maintains that RSVP taxes working memory (WM), which probably affects sentence processing. However, most RSVP studies only infer the involvement of WM. Other cognitive resources, such as cognitive control or vocabulary may also impact…

Henretty, Dawnelle J.; McEneaney, John E. – Reading Psychology, 2020
Readers are increasingly exposed to text that includes both words and images through comics, graphic novels, online materials, and video games. In this study, we use the medium of the 4-panel comic strip to examine how readers make meaning of the word/image composite. We propose a cognitive interactive framework that incorporates both the…
