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,…

Three great theories of humour aspire to summarize the meaning of humour into one formula. Since humour is a complex phenomenon, with a number of different forms, it is necessary to analyze a number of humour patterns in order to create a more reliable base for defining the meaning of humour. We have started from the concept of basic jokes. These…

Background: The integration of religious education with cognitive development strategies has become a growing area of interest, particularly within Islamic schools. Understanding how religious concepts influence cognitive and emotional processes through expressive writing, can provide valuable insights into the holistic development of students.…

Digital tools such as audiobooks enable language learners to read and listen to a text simultaneously. Access to such bimodal input has been argued to enhance L2 vocabulary learning from reading by directing learners' attention to novel words and facilitating the development of form-meaning links (Long, 2017). However, research on the cognitive…

Background/purpose: This study analyzes the commognition of students with low Working Memory Capacity (WMC) when solving calculus problems, particularly in integral material. Commognition, which merges cognition and communication, is explored through four indicators: keywords (stating knowns and unknowns), visual mediators (graphical…

Background/purpose. This research aims to analyze the influence and test the effectiveness of using an e-module based on sustainable development goals (SDGs) with the conceptual change model-cognitive conflict approach (CCM-CCA) integrated with local wisdom on students' critical thinking skills. Materials/methods. This research employed a…

As they progress to more abstract and complex levels of mathematics, students with learning disabilities (and other students who are struggling with mathematics) can face challenges related to memory and cognition, as well as potential difficulties with math anxiety. For example, quadratic functions can present several challenges for many…

The PISA 2022 evidence suggests that having a growth mindset is related to positive learning outcomes. However, this positive relationship is clearest among students performing at middle proficiency levels, where belief in improvement aligns with tangible opportunities for progress. For lower-performing students, by contrast, the relationship is…

Questions asked by teachers are vital to maintaining and sustaining learner engagement. In Hong Kong secondary classrooms where English is used as the medium of instruction (EMI), productive teacher questioning is key to promoting both language and content learning. Drawing on classroom observations and in-depth interviews, this study investigated…

Personalization is often perceived as a technical problem in the context of digital education. However, it is also a cognitive challenge, requiring an understanding of how learners process information. This study presents a cognitive-based recommendation model designed and tested within the Master's program in E-learning and Intelligent…

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…

Purpose: This study aims to examine the variables that influence learners' acceptance of chat generative pre-trained transformer (ChatGPT) through the theoretical synthesis of variables in the field of behavioral science. It uses the use and gratifications theory in conjunction with variables related to the information system (IS), as proposed by…

Under cognitive load theory, time pressure/urgency-induced arousal is a major contributor to pupil dilation during cognition. However, pupillometric encoding studies have failed to consider the possible role of time pressure/urgency effects, instead often assuming that encoding dilations directly reflect encoding strength. To isolate possible…

Research on prospective memory has paid no attention to the way in which the intentions to be remembered are framed. In two studies on time-based prospective memory, participants had to remember multiple delayed intentions framed as time rules (i.e., respond every 7 min, every 10 min) or as a series of corresponding instances (i.e., respond at…

Engineering students particularly struggle with mathematics in the first year of their university studies. A result of these difficulties are high drop-out rates among the engineering students. There are various measures to support the students in their studies such as preparatory courses or bridging courses. The contribution of this research is…
