de Rooij, Alwin; Vromans, Ruben D. – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2020
Previous research has demonstrated that individual differences in affect and motivation predict divergent and convergent thinking performance, two thinking processes involved in creative idea generation. Individual differences in affect and motivation also predict spontaneous eye blink rate (sEBR) during divergent and convergent thinking; and sEBR…

Asbury, Kathryn; Wai, Jonathan – Journal of School Choice, 2020
This paper introduces a literature from outside the field of education research and policy that we argue has potential to enhance both policy and practice. This field, behavioral genetics, has amassed highly replicable findings spanning more than half a century. Although no necessary policy implications follow from the evidence we review here,…

Brunyé, Tad T.; Smith, Amy M.; Hendel, Dalit; Gardony, Aaron L.; Martis, Shaina B.; Taylor, Holly A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Students learn more effectively through repeated retrieval of study materials relative to repeated exposure to the materials, a phenomenon known as the "testing effect" or "retrieval practice". This pattern has been demonstrated repeatedly with verbal materials, and more recently with visuospatial materials. The extent to which…

Filippi, Courtney; Choi, Yeo Bi; Fox, Nathan A.; Woodward, Amanda L. – Developmental Science, 2020
The mechanisms that support infant action processing are thought to be involved in the development of later social cognition. While a growing body of research demonstrates longitudinal links between action processing and explicit theory of mind (TOM), it remains unclear why this link emerges in some measures of action encoding and not others. In…

Surgent, Olivia J.; Walczak, Matthew; Zarzycki, Oskar; Ausderau, Karla; Travers, Brittany G. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Motor challenges are commonly reported in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Yet, there is substantial heterogeneity in motor ability within ASD, and it is unknown what behavioral characteristics best explain individual differences in motor ability in ASD and related conditions. This observational study examined motor ability as a function of sensory…

Crawford, Jennifer L.; Eisenstein, Sarah A.; Peelle, Jonathan E.; Braver, Todd S. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2021
Stable individual differences in cognitive motivation (i.e., the tendency to engage in and enjoy effortful cognitive activities) have been documented with self-report measures, yet convergent support for a trait-level construct is still lacking. In the present study, we use an innovative decision-making paradigm (COG-ED) to quantify the costs of…

McNamara, Danielle S. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
This article provides a commentary within the special issue, Integration: The Keystone of Comprehension. According to most contemporary frameworks, a driving force in comprehension is the reader's ability to generate the links among the words and sentences (ideas) in the texts and between the ideas in the text and what the readers already know. As…

Olsher, Shai; Cooper, Jason – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2021
While curricular change often begins with a new textbook, its eventual enactment in the hands of individual teachers depends on their orientation towards the curriculum and its representation in the textbook. Studying this teacher-textbook relationship is crucial for understanding how curricular reform intended by textbook designers is likely to…

Israelashvili, Jacob; Pauw, Lisanne S.; Sauter, Disa A.; Fischer, Agneta H. – Journal of Intelligence, 2021
Individual differences in understanding other people's emotions have typically been studied with recognition tests using prototypical emotional expressions. These tests have been criticized for the use of posed, prototypical displays, raising the question of whether such tests tell us anything about the ability to understand spontaneous,…

Henderson, Michael; Ryan, Tracii; Boud, David; Dawson, Phillip; Phillips, Michael; Molloy, Elizabeth; Mahoney, Paige – Active Learning in Higher Education, 2021
Feedback can occur before and after assessment submission, but needs to be useful in order for students to improve their subsequent performance. Arguably, undergraduate students, and particularly international, online and new students, are especially in need of feedback to effectively engage in academic and disciplinary expectations. Therefore,…
