Prueitt, Ethan; Yates, Mark – Journal of Research in Reading, 2023
Background: Previous research has shown that the emotional content of words affects how quickly they are recognised. One recent measure of word emotionality is emotional experience that measures the degree to which reading a word can invoke emotional experiences tied to the word. Words that are higher in emotional experience are recognised more…

Ovando-Tellez, Marcela; Kenett, Yoed N.; Benedek, Mathias; Bernard, Matthieu; Belo, Joan; Beranger, Benoit; Bieth, Theophile; Volle, Emmanuelle – Creativity Research Journal, 2023
Associative thinking plays a major role in creativity, as it involves the ability to link distant concepts. Yet, the neural mechanisms allowing to combine distant associates in creative thinking tasks remain poorly understood. We investigated the whole-brain functional connectivity patterns related to combining remote associations for creative…

Cabiddu, Francesco; Bott, Lewis; Jones, Gary; Gambi, Chiara – Language Learning, 2023
Word segmentation is a crucial step in children's vocabulary learning. While computational models of word segmentation can capture infants' performance in small-scale artificial tasks, the examination of early word segmentation in naturalistic settings has been limited by the lack of measures that can relate models' performance to developmental…

Kampis, Dora; Lukowski Duplessy, Helle; Askitis, Dimitrios; Southgate, Victoria – Child Development, 2023
People sometimes commit 'egocentric errors', failing to ignore their own perspective when interpreting others' communication. Training imitation-inhibition, when participants perform the opposite action from another person, facilitates subsequent perspective-taking in adults. This study tested whether imitation-inhibition training also facilitates…

Cheeseman, Jill; Downton, Ann; Ferguson, Sarah; Roche, Anne – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2023
Children's multiplicative thinking as the recognition of equal group structures and the enumeration of the composite units was the subject of this research. In this paper, we provide an overview of the Multiplication and Division Investigations project. The results were obtained from a small sample of Australian children (n = 21) in their first…

Poole, Adam Langston – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of an intervention utilizing modified schema-based instruction (MSBI) on the mathematical problem-solving ability of elementary school students with mild to moderate disabilities. Four participants were taught to solve percent of change word problems, which required them to calculate the…

Luo, Jiahui; Chan, Cecilia Ka Yuk – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2023
For students to sustain their learning beyond higher education, it is important for them to develop their evaluative judgement. Although the importance of evaluative judgement is well-established, the process through which students make such judgements remains contested. This study explores students' evaluative judgement process by asking 20…

Ismail Özgür Zembat; Sümeyye Gürhan – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2023
This article provides an analysis of a data set coming from a two-phase qualitative study that focused on fostering primary students' abstraction of interrelations among quadrilaterals (squares, rectangles, parallelograms, rhombuses, trapezoids). The pilot study consisted of work with eight primary students operating at van Hiele level 2 (e.g.,…

Matthew Sargent; Alex LePage; Yoed N. Kenett; Heath E. Matheson – Creativity Research Journal, 2023
Accounts of embodied cognition suggest that environmental scene and motor information can be used in a type of neural simulation when generating creative uses for manipulable objects. A scarce amount of studies suggests that the state of the body and environment play a role in people's ability to devise creative uses for objects. In this…

John M. Norris; Shoko Sasayama; Michelle Kim – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2023
The Elicited Imitation Task (EIT) is a popular technique for efficiently measuring global proficiency in multiple languages, and accumulated evidence indicates high reliability and strong relationships with other proficiency measures. Nevertheless, several dimensions of EIT design remain open to investigation, including the assumption that a pause…

Do, Hieu Manh – rEFLections, 2023
The present study adopts the four-step framework of course development processes proposed by Graves (1996) to develop a writing course for EFL Vietnamese undergraduates. A total of 60 students were asked to take a writing test and a survey about writing problems to identify their "objective needs". Then "subjective needs" were…

Kayrn P. Higgs; Alecia M. Santuzzi; Cody Gibson; Ryan D. Kopatich; Daniel P. Feller; Joseph P. Magliano – Grantee Submission, 2023
Reading is typically guided by a task or goal (e.g., studying for a test, writing a paper). A reader's task awareness arises from their mental representation of the task and plays an important role in guiding reading processes, ultimately influencing comprehension outcomes and task success. As such, a better understanding of how task awareness…

Leila Etemadi; Dan-Anders Jirenhed; Anders Rasmussen – npj Science of Learning, 2023
Eyeblink conditioning is used in many species to study motor learning and make inferences about cerebellar function. However, the discrepancies in performance between humans and other species combined with evidence that volition and awareness can modulate learning suggest that eyeblink conditioning is not merely a passive form of learning that…

Kleinkorres, Ruben; Forthmann, Boris; Holling, Heinz – Journal of Intelligence, 2021
Up to now, support for the idea that a controlled component exists in creative thought has mainly been supported by correlational studies; to further shed light on this issue, we employed an experimental approach. We used four alternate uses tasks that differed in instruction type ("be fluent" vs. "be creative") and concurrent…

Warren, Tiffani; Cagliani, Rachel R.; Whiteside, Erinn; Ayres, Kevin M. – Journal of Behavioral Education, 2021
This study compared effects of student choice of task sequence to two variations in teacher-manipulated task sequences on on-task behavior of elementary-aged students with disabilities. Researchers modified Call et al.'s (J Appl Behav Anal 42: 723-728, 2009) demand assessment to determine high-, moderate-, and low-probability tasks. Next,…
