Streitwieser, Bernhard; Duffy-Jaeger, Kathryn; Roche, Jane – Comparative Education Review, 2020
Tensions over borders lie at the center of a growing global debate. But while politicians argue, some US higher education institutions (HEIs) have made education and protections possible for displaced students. Using securitization theory and social movement theory to examine the role of HEIs as they responded to immigration policies attempted by…

Fluoxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that reduces obsessive-compulsive symptoms. There is limited evidence supporting its efficacy for repetitive behaviors (RRBs) in autistic spectrum disorder (ASD). We conducted a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of fluoxetine in 158 individuals with ASD (5-17 years). Following 14…

Mumbardó-Adam, Cristina; Guàrdia-Olmos, Joan; Giné Giné, Climent – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2020
Self-determination, as a person dispositional characteristic, is indeed influenced by situational characteristics that shape actions across contexts. Research has also reported differences in self-determination as a function of personal factors, but there is a need to integrate this knowledge in a general model aiming to analyse the impact of…

Two experiments were conducted to examine the production and detection of common, everyday deception. Experiment 1 was a naturalistic study in which participants provided their most recent truthful and deceptive (both sent and received) text messages. Participants in Experiment 2 were asked to generate text messages that were either deceptive or…

Lee, Sunji – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2020
This paper aims to show how to conceive the relationship between educational methods and cognitive modes. Focusing on the difference between Stiegler and Hayles, I will show that it is necessary to invent an educational philosophy for hyper attention. While Stiegler agrees with Hayles's position regarding attention, he criticizes Hayles for…

Heaney, Conor – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2020
In "Taking Care of Youth and the Generations", Bernard Stiegler develops an account of the pedagogical responsibilities which follow from rhythmic intergenerational flows, involving the creation of milieus which care for and pay attention to the future, toward the creation of nootechnical milieus. Such milieus are defined by their…

Parrill, Fey; Blocton, Alexsis; Veta, Paige; Lowery, Mary; Schneider, Ava – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2020
The presence of a human figure in a scene appears to change how people describe it. About 20% of participants take the human figure's viewpoint (Tversky and Hard in Cognition 110:124-129, 2009. http://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2008.10.008). Five exploratory studies compare descriptions of a scene with no person to descriptions of a scene with a…

Keller, Nicole E.; Dunsmoor, Joseph E. – Learning & Memory, 2020
Counterconditioning (CC) is a form of retroactive interference that inhibits expression of learned behavior. But similar to extinction, CC can be a fairly weak and impermanent form of interference, and the original behavior is prone to relapse. Research on CC is limited, especially in humans, but prior studies suggest it is more effective than…

Coyle, Emily F.; Liben, Lynn S. – Child Development, 2020
To study effects of the gender-packaging of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) toys, mother-child dyads (31 daughters; 30 sons; M = 5.2 years) were randomly assigned to play with a mechanical toy packaged for girls ("GoldieBlox") or boys ("BobbyBlox"). When familiarizing themselves with the toy to prepare…

Hudson Kam, Carla L. – Language Learning and Development, 2020
Hudson Kam (2018) examined whether learning of a particular aspect of language that adults are known to have difficulty with (grammatical gender) could be improved by manipulating the learning experience of adults so that it was more like that of infants. Specifically, based on likely differences between adult and child learners' experiences as…

Özdenk, Çagri – African Educational Research Journal, 2020
Maximal exercise capacity (W[subscript max]) and anaerobic threshold (A[subscript T]) are important tools used non-invasively to evaluate aerobic fitness levels and clinically possible risk. It has been shown that O[subscript 2] uptake to heartbeat ratio (O[subscript 2] pulse) at the maximal exercise test is an important parameter used to evaluate…

Finch, W. Holmes – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2020
Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is widely used by researchers in the social sciences to characterize the latent structure underlying a set of observed indicator variables. One of the primary issues that must be resolved when conducting an EFA is determination of the number of factors to retain. There exist a large number of statistical tools…

de Leur, Tessa; van Boxtel, Carla; Wilschut, Arie – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2020
The past is not in the classroom to observe and study. Thus, creating a lively and understandable image of a past period or situation is an achievement to be learned. A variety of tasks can be used to stimulate students to create an image of the past. In this experimental study, 151 grade 9 students (14-16 years old) participated by completing a…

Benton, Tom; Leech, Tony; Hughes, Sarah – Cambridge Assessment, 2020
In the context of examinations, the phrase "maintaining standards" usually refers to any activity designed to ensure that it is no easier (or harder) to achieve a given grade in one year than in another. Specifically, it tends to mean activities associated with setting examination grade boundaries. Benton et al (2020) describes a method…
