J. Dylan Burton – Language Testing, 2024
Nonverbal behavior can impact language proficiency scores in speaking tests, but there is little empirical information of the size or consistency of its effects or whether language proficiency may be a moderating variable. In this study, 100 novice raters watched and scored 30 recordings of test takers taking an international, high stakes…

Hadis Anahideh; Nazanin Nezami; Abolfazl Asudeh – Grantee Submission, 2025
It is of critical importance to be aware of the historical discrimination embedded in the data and to consider a fairness measure to reduce bias throughout the predictive modeling pipeline. Given various notions of fairness defined in the literature, investigating the correlation and interaction among metrics is vital for addressing unfairness.…

Schüler-Meyer, Alexander – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2022
Understanding the intricate quantifier relations in the formal definitions of both convergence and continuity is highly relevant for students to use these definitions for mathematical reasoning. However, there has been limited research about how students relearn previous school mathematics for understanding multiply quantified statements. This…

López-Zambrano, Javier; Lara, Juan A.; Romero, Cristóbal – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2022
One of the main current challenges in Educational Data Mining and Learning Analytics is the portability or transferability of predictive models obtained for a particular course so that they can be applied to other different courses. To handle this challenge, one of the foremost problems is the models' excessive dependence on the low-level…

Siew, Cynthia S. Q.; Engelthaler, Tomas; Hills, Thomas T. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
How does the relation between two words create humor? In this article, we investigated the effect of global and local contrast on the humor of word pairs. We capitalized on the existence of psycholinguistic lexical norms by examining violations of expectations set up by typical patterns of English usage (global contrast) and within the local…

Kvavilashvili, Lia; Ford, Ruth M. – Child Development, 2022
In a cross-sectional study, 5-, 7-, and 9-year-old-children and adults (N = 144, 86 females, predominantly White U.K. sample of lower-middle to middle-class background) were interviewed about their experiences of involuntary autobiographical memories (IAMs) and semantic mind-pops that come to mind unintentionally. Although some age differences…

Brainerd, Charles J.; Bialer, Daniel M.; Chang, Minyu – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
The conjoint-recognition model (CRM) implements fuzzy-trace theory's opponent process conception of false memory. Within the family of measurement models that separate the memory effects of recollection and familiarity, CRM is the only one that accomplishes this for false as well as true memory. We assembled a corpus of 537 sets of…

Eszter Ronai – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Scalar inference, the process by which we infer meanings stronger than what was explicitly said, has long been a central topic of investigation in theoretical semantics-pragmatics, as well as in psycholinguistics. Upon encountering the sentence "Mary ate some of the deep dish", for instance, hearers regularly compute the pragmatic…

Tatler, Benjamin W. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2021
CCTV plays a prominent role in public security, health and safety. Monitoring large arrays of CCTV camera feeds is a visually and cognitively demanding task. Arranging the scenes by geographical proximity in the surveilled environment has been recommended to reduce this demand, but empirical tests of this method have failed to find any benefit.…

van Heerden, Martina – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2021
In order for feedback to effectively facilitate learning and development, it needs to feed-forward from one assignment to the next. Yet, it is not always clear how to determine if feedback is actually feeding forward. This paper, therefore, presents a translation device, using Legitimation Code Theory, and specifically, semantic gravity, to help…

Prasad, Grusha; Linzen, Tal – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Temporarily ambiguous sentences that are disambiguated in favor of a less preferred parse are read more slowly than their unambiguous counterparts. This slowdown is referred to as a "garden path effect." Recent self-paced reading studies have found that this effect decreased over the course of the experiment as participants were exposed…

Canessa, Enrique; Chaigneau, Sergio E.; Moreno, Sebastián – Cognitive Science, 2021
In the property listing task (PLT), participants are asked to list properties for a concept (e.g., for the concept "dog," "barks," and "is a pet" may be produced). In conceptual property norming (CPNs) studies, participants are asked to list properties for large sets of concepts. Here, we use a mathematical model of…

Oliveira Moraes, Laura; Pedreira, Carlos Eduardo – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2021
Manually determining concepts present in a group of questions is a challenging and time-consuming process. However, the process is an essential step while modeling a virtual learning environment since a mapping between concepts and questions using mastery level assessment and recommendation engines is required. In this article, we investigated…

Babineau, Mireille; de Carvalho, Alex; Trueswell, John; Christophe, Anne – Developmental Science, 2021
Young children can exploit the syntactic context of a novel word to narrow down its probable meaning. But how do they learn which contexts are linked to which semantic features in the first place? We investigate if 3- to 4-year-old children (n = 60) can learn about a syntactic context from tracking its use with only a few familiar words. After…

Li, Degao; Song, Dangui; Wang, Tao – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
To compare the influences of concreteness and imageability on Chinese two-character (2C) word recognition, two experiments were conducted in a primed task on a cohort of skilled readers. In addition to PRIME (2C words or their transposed constituent characters) and DIRECTION (forward or backward collocations between prime words and targets),…
