Purpose: The goal was to evaluate the potential effects of increasing hearing loss and advancing age on spectral envelope perception. Method: Spectral modulation detection was measured as a function of spectral modulation frequency from 0.5 to 8.0 cycles/octave. The spectral modulation task involved discrimination of a noise carrier (3 octaves…

Grit is among the individual difference (ID) variables that have recently come to the attention of researchers investigating second language acquisition. While some empirical evidence has been accumulated, it is clearly scant and limited, also because of the fact that many studies have looked into domain-general grit rather than this attribute as…

Telemental health services have become more pressing for higher education students since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of that need, and barriers to accessing care, remain uncertain -- including demographic inequities. Between June 2020 and December 2021, public university students (N = 1441) were surveyed about demographic…

Parental vaccine hesitancy has been a hotly debated issue long before the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, the emergence of a new vaccine during this public health crisis made even pro-vaccine individuals reconsider vaccines for their children. This scoping review was conducted to understand why parents expressed hesitancy towards the COVID-19 vaccine…

The current experimental study among 451 Belgian adolescents examined how televised narratives that suggest that academic performance can change with hard work and effort (i.e. malleability narrative) compared to narratives that focus on inability to change academic performances (i.e. fixed narrative) differently affect academic self-perceptions,…

Computational thinking (CT) is an indispensable higher-order competency in our complex, digitalized era; its development in students can be an effective tool for societal problem-solving. This research aimed to use an escape room to develop students' computational thinking using challenges oriented toward Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 of…

Objective: The current systematic literature review explores the factors contributing to anxiety among Asian international college students in the United States. Methods: A search of multiple electronic databases yielded seven relevant peer-reviewed articles published since 2018. Results: Findings indicated that academic stressors, lack of social…

Despite earlier claims that language abilities are intact in individuals with Williams syndrome (WS), many studies have shown that language development is often delayed and atypical, that is, it develops in line with different cognitive abilities compared to typically developing populations. It is unclear, however, whether general cognitive…

Emotion words allow us to identify, describe and regulate our emotional states. Emotion vocabulary grows through childhood, but little research has considered emotion words in the context of children's written language. To address this gap, we used a cross-corpus developmental approach to chart the emergence of emotion words in children's reading…

The perspectives of science teachers and students is of paramount focus of this study regarding the use of ChatGPT in the science classroom as a supplementary tool within Mandaluyong City, Philippines for the school year 2023-2024. 899 junior high school students and 26 science teachers were surveyed using the quantitative research design,…

This study sought to characterize caregiver concerns for autistic children receiving care in two public service systems--schools and mental health programs--and to identify child and family characteristics associated with these concerns. Caregivers of 353 school-age autistic children in mental health services (n = 192) or schools (n = 161) named,…

This report was conducted in compliance with Senate Bill 55 (SB 55), 88th Texas Legislature, Regular Session (codified as Texas Education Code Section 61.06694): "an act relating to a study and report by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board regarding best practices for assisting students with autism spectrum disorder" (ASD). The…

Overall undergraduate enrollment at Washington's public postsecondary institutions has not returned to pre-COVID levels; however, enrollment has grown or stabilized since spring 2023 when the public health crisis ended. After dropping to a low of 98,184 award-seeking students in fall 2022, the community and technical colleges (CTCs) experienced a…

To facilitate multisensory processing, the brain binds multisensory information when presented within a certain maximum time lag (temporal binding window). In addition, and in audiovisual perception specifically, the brain adapts rapidly to asynchronies within a single trial and shifts the point of subjective simultaneity. Both processes, temporal…

It is unknown how multiple components of on-task regulation of learning affect task performance in school children. This research aimed to acquire insights into the interrelations between children's metacognitive monitoring, regulation of learning, and task performance. Three components of on-task regulation of learning were investigated:…
