Lockwood, Elise; Purdy, Branwen – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2020
The multiplication principle (MP) is a fundamental aspect of combinatorial enumeration. In an effort to better understand students' reasoning about the MP, we had two undergraduate students reinvent a statement of the MP in a teaching experiment. In this paper, we adopt an actor-oriented perspective (Lobato, "Educational Researcher,"…

Röer, Jan Philipp; Bell, Raoul; Buchner, Axel; Saint-Aubin, Jean; Sonier, René-Pierre; Marsh, John E.; Moore, Stuart B.; Kershaw, Matthew B. A.; Ljung, Robert; Arnström, Sebastian – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Visual-verbal serial recall is disrupted when task-irrelevant background speech has to be ignored. Contrary to previous suggestion, it has recently been shown that the magnitude of disruption may be accentuated by the semantic properties of the irrelevant speech. Sentences ending with unexpected words that did not match the preceding semantic…

Lorraine Vera Gaunt; Jana Visnovska – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2025
Numeracy is important for everyday life. Being numerate has a positive impact on the quality of life of individuals, with positive economic, health, and social outcomes. Despite this, little is known about the role of numeracy in the lives of adults with intellectual disability (ID). Design research has been used to develop ways to support…

Kolarec, Biserka; Nincevic, Marina – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2022
The object of research is a statistics exam that contains problem tasks. One examiner performed two exam evaluation methods to repeatedly evaluate the exam. The goal was to compare the methods for objectivity. One of the two exam evaluation methods we call a serial evaluation method. The serial evaluation method assumes evaluation of all exam…

A recent Registered Replication Report (RRR) of the development of verbal rehearsal during serial recall revealed that children verbalized at younger ages than previously thought, but did not identify sources of individual differences. Here, we use mediation analysis to reanalyze data from the 934 children ranging from 5 to 10 years old from the…

Lindsey, Dakota R. B.; Logan, Gordon D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
It has long been understood that associations can form between items that are paired (Ebbinghaus, 1885), but it is commonly assumed that previously retrieved items are not used when remembering items in serial order. We present a series of experiments that test this assumption, using a serial learning procedure inspired by Ebenholtz (1963). In…

Xu, Chang; LeFevre, Jo-Anne – Child Development, 2021
How do children develop associations among number symbols? For Grade 1 children (n = 66, M = 78 months), sequence knowledge (i.e., identify missing numbers) and number comparison (i.e., choose larger number) predicted addition, both concurrently and indirectly at the end of Grade 1. Number ordering (i.e., touch numbers in order) did not predict…

Majerus, Steve; Oberauer, Klaus – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
The processing of ordinally organized information is a characteristic of both serial-order working memory and numerical cognition. Serial positions of items presented within a list follow an ordinal organization when stored in working memory, whereas numbers are based on an ordinal structure stored in long-term memory. We tested the hypothesis…

Xu, Chang; LeFevre, Jo-Anne; Di Lonardo Burr, Sabrina; Maloney, Erin A.; Wylie, Judith; Simms, Victoria; Skwarchuk, Sheri-Lynn; Osana, Helena P. – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
Children's knowledge of the ordinal relations among number symbols is related to their mathematical learning. Ordinal knowledge has been measured using judgment (i.e., decide whether a sequence of three digits is in order) and ordering tasks (i.e., order three digits from smallest to largest). However, the question remains whether performance on…

Gerring, John; Pemstein, Daniel; Skaaning, Svend-Erik – Sociological Methods & Research, 2021
A key obstacle to measurement is the aggregation problem. Where indicators tap into common latent traits in theoretically meaningful ways, the problem may be solved by applying a data-informed ("inductive") measurement model, for example, factor analysis, structural equation models, or item response theory. Where they do not, researchers…

Ginzburg, Jérémie; Moulin, Annie; Fornoni, Lesly; Talamini, Francesca; Tillmann, Barbara; Caclin, Anne – Developmental Science, 2022
Developmental aspects of auditory cognition were investigated in 5-to-10-year-old children (n = 100). Musical and verbal short-term memory (STM) were assessed by means of delayed matching-to-sample tasks (DMST) (comparison of two four-item sequences separated by a silent retention delay), with two levels of difficulty. For musical and verbal…

Bai, Honghong; Leseman, Paul P. M.; Moerbeek, Mirjam; Kroesbergen, Evelyn H.; Mulder, Hanna – Journal of Intelligence, 2021
This study examined the unfolding in real time of original ideas during divergent thinking (DT) in five- to six-year-olds and related individual differences in DT to executive functions (EFs). The Alternative Uses Task was administered with verbal prompts that encouraged children to report on their thinking processes while generating uses for…

Liang, Chen; Ye, Jianbo; Zhao, Han; Pursel, Bart; Giles, C. Lee – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
Strict partial order is a mathematical structure commonly seen in relational data. One obstacle to extracting such type of relations at scale is the lack of large scale labels for building effective data-driven solutions. We develop an active learning framework for mining such relations subject to a strict order. Our approach incorporates…

Altani, Angeliki; Protopapas, Athanassios; Katopodi, Katerina; Georgiou, George K. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
The serial advantage, defined as the gain in naming rate in the serial over the discrete task of the same content, was examined between grades and types of content in English and Greek. 720 English- and Greek-speaking children from Grades 1, 3, and 5 were tested in rapid naming and reading tasks of different content, including digits, objects,…

Gerard, Juliana – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2022
Previous research on 4-6-year-olds' interpretations of adjunct control has observed non-adult-like behavior for sentences like "John called Mary before running to the store." Several studies have aimed to identify a grammatical source of children's errors. This study tests the predictions of grammatical and extragrammatical accounts by…
