Lying is assumed to increase cognitive load, and it has been shown to slow response times to simple questions. We employed a dual-task methodology, the detection response task (DRT), to assess cognitive load in telling narrative lies in a live, open-question interview. The DRT requires participants to press a button in response to a tactile…

Lying requires a long-term memory search and is a cognitive load task. Telling a spontaneous lie is associated with a higher cognitive load compared with the truth, although when memories are planned before telling a lie, the cognitive load can be less compared with the truth; therefore, telling a spontaneous lie could be associated with a higher…

During the COVID-19 pandemic, anatomy educators have demonstrated their ability to respond to face-to-face (F2F) teaching restrictions and offer emergency remote teaching and learning (ERTL) approach. Another educational model that was intensified during COVID-19 was blended learning (BL) which is a combination of F2F and online settings. Studies…

This study answers two research questions: (1) How do 12- and 13-year-old students respond to metacognitive questions posed during a complex task in mathematics or in science and (2) Do these responses differ by discipline? Content analysis was applied to responses collected from 92 students from a French-speaking Belgian school. The results…

Acquiring mathematical literacy requires students to apply mathematics in various real-world contexts. However, mathematics classes often provide brief, content-focused descriptions of reality-based tasks and tasks that describe the situation as more complex, closer to reality, are still lacking. Students with different sociodemographic…

Background: Multiple-choice item (MCI) assessments are burdensome for instructors to develop. Artificial intelligence (AI, e.g., ChatGPT) can streamline the process without sacrificing quality. The quality of AI-generated MCIs and human experts is comparable. However, whether the quality of AI-generated MCIs is equally good across various domain-…

Previous studies have confirmed the pivotal roles of student engagement in predicting learning achievements; however, only a few emphasized the patterns of different engagement dimensions within individuals (i.e., co-occurrences of behavioral, cognitive, and emotional engagement). Thus, this study identifies engagement profiles and explores their…

There are many informal rules regarding women's premarital relationships in Turkey and Islamic cultures in general. It is an unspoken rule that Turkish families disapprove of their daughters' dating. We explored women's experiences hiding their romantic relationships from their families during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants included nine…

This study's purpose was to analyse the relationship between geometric thinking skills with self-regulated learning and with students' basic geometry skills. Furthermore, analyze student errors in solving geometry problems based on their self-regulated learning to determine the optimal geometry learning environment for geometry thinking skills.…

This study evaluates the Children's Worlds Psychological Well-Being Scale (CW-PSWBS) within a diverse international cohort of children aged 10 and 12, utilising Classical Test Theory (CTT) and Item Response Theory (IRT) methodologies. Through a detailed psychometric analysis, this research assesses the CW-PSWBS's structural integrity, focusing on…

This study examined relationship-defining memories in the cultural context and how phenomenological characteristics of those memories were related to psychological well-being. A total of 105 Asian and 108 European American college students (M[subscript age] = 20.16 years; 64% women) each recalled a positive and a negative event significant for…

Screen-based simulation (SBS) can complement traditional nursing courses. We compared the effect of innovative virtual environments not widespread in French nursing schools on self-efficacy, quiz performance, and self-regulated learning behaviors. This quasi-experimental study involved 1183 student nurses. Participants were divided into an…

Task design features have different effects on second language (L2) production and can be adopted for different pedagogical purposes. However, the synergistic effects of task features were left unexplored in the extant task-based literature. The present study investigated the synergistic effects of two task design features, namely, prior knowledge…

Differentiated instruction (DI) has shown positive effects on the success of language learning as compared to traditional teaching. Examining teachers' beliefs pertaining to differentiation is important owing to the fact that teachers' beliefs shape their pedagogical practices. Therefore, this study is aimed at exploring English teachers' beliefs…

This study examines the impact of instructor presence on cognitive load and learning outcomes in video-based learning environments, addressing a significant gap in optimising instructional design for digital education. Utilising eyetracking technology to measure pupil dilation, a reliable proxy for cognitive load, this research compares three…
