It's clear that the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) programs such as ChatGPT (generative pre-trained transformer) will significantly impact education, and it is natural for teachers to feel apprehensive about this change. This article explores the role of ChatGPT in a high school English classroom and discusses how it can…

In many domains, learners extract recurring units from continuous sequences. For example, in unknown languages, fluent speech is perceived as a continuous signal. Learners need to extract the underlying words from this continuous signal and then memorize them. One prominent candidate mechanism is statistical learning, whereby learners track how…

Our aim in the current study was to examine how different diary methods might impact the results of involuntary memory studies. We compared three different commonly used diary methods, record all memories experienced per day, record up to two memories per day, or record only the first two per day. Results showed that the record-all group had the…

The current study examined the influences of SRL prompts provided in three different phases (i.e., forethought, performance, and self-reflection) on college students' learning outcome and SRL levels during video-based learning. Fifty-eight participants were randomly assigned into one of the four conditions: 1) SRL prompts at the forethought phase;…

Purpose: The aim of the study was to determine the ability of children with developmental language disorder (DLD) to infer word class and meaning from text and to document variations by word class (noun, verb, adjective) and modality (listening, reading). We also asked whether the children could integrate global cues across the entire passage as…

We conducted two experiments to assess the alignment between Generative AI (GenAI) text personalization and hypothetical readers' profiles. In Experiment 1, four LLMs (i.e., Claude 3.5 Sonnet; Llama; Gemini Pro 1.5; ChatGPT 4) were prompted to tailor 10 science texts (i.e., biology, chemistry, physics) to accommodate four different profiles…

As automation becomes increasingly integrated into complex military tasks, its role in supporting human performance under fatigue warrants careful evaluation. A specific military use case in which automatic target cuing (ATC) is integrated is undersea threat detection (UTD). These types of tasks demand sustained vigilance, accurate classification,…

An increasing number of studies have investigated how ChatGPT can aid in written assessment and feedback provision. However, many studies overlook its conversational design and underlying architecture, raising concerns about the reliability and validity of their analytical outputs. Therefore, applying first principles thinking to prompt use, and…

Writing in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) is a special chance for students to improve their language skills and develop their social awareness. Through the use of writing prompts that promote values like tolerance, respect for others, and critical thinking, students are able to express themselves more effectively in English and gain a deeper…

A longstanding criticism of traditional high-stakes writing assessments is their use of static prompts in which test takers compose a single text in response to a prompt. These static prompts do not allow measurement of the writing process. This paper describes the development and validation of an innovative interactive writing task. After the…

Empower every student to explore their creative potential with Accessible Arts Education by Rhoda Bernard. This essential guide offers practical strategies to make arts instruction inclusive for students with disabilities. Learn to reduce barriers, support diverse learning needs, and foster an equitable classroom where all students can thrive in…

The current study aimed to explore the influence of pedagogical agents and visual cues on students' deep learning within a virtual reality setting by evaluating the effects on various factors, including learning outcomes, intrinsic motivation, cognitive load, learning engagement, and cognitive processing metrics. The investigation utilized a 2 x 2…

Children employ multiple cues to identify the referent of a novel word. Novel words are often embedded in sentences and children have been shown to use syntactic cues to differentiate between types of words (adjective vs. nouns) and between types of nouns (count vs. mass nouns). In this study, we show that children learning Malay (N = 67), a…

Previous studies across languages (English, Spanish, French) have argued that perceptual salience and cue reliability can explain cross-linguistic differences in early comprehension of verbal agreement. Here we tested this hypothesis further by investigating early comprehension in Greek, where markers have high salience and reliability (compared…

If cues from different sensory modalities share the same cause, their information can be integrated to improve perceptual precision. While it is well established that adults exploit sensory redundancy by integrating cues in a Bayes optimal fashion, whether children under 8 years of age combine sensory information in a similar fashion is still…
