Injae Hong; Jeremy M. Wolfe – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2024
In classic visual search, observers typically search for the presence of a target in a scene or display. In foraging tasks, there may be multiple targets in the same display (or "patch"). Observers typically search for and collect these target items in one patch until they decide to leave that patch and move to the next one. This is a…

Luisa Cacciante; Giorgia Pregnolato; Silvia Salvalaggio; Sara Federico; Pawel Kiper; Nicola Smania; Andrea Turolla – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Humans often use co-speech gestures to promote effective communication. Attention has been paid to the cortical areas engaged in the processing of co-speech gestures. Aims: To investigate the neural network underpinned in the processing of co-speech gestures and to observe whether there is a relationship between areas involved in…

Despina Desli; Panagiotis Dimitropoulos – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
The present study aimed to examine children's and adults' performance and strategies in volume estimations. Three tasks were designed and presented to 40 adults and 40 6th grade children who were asked to estimate: (a) the number of unit measures (bricks/rice spoons) that may be put in a container, (b) the quantity of bricks/rice, between two…

Selcuk Akpinar – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2024
The human body seems symmetrical but functional asymmetry can be observed for many tasks. One of the tasks observed the functional asymmetry is grip force and rate of grip force development (RGFD). To efficiently accomplish many tasks, it is important to measure those parameters in different ages and special groups. Thus, the purpose of the study…

Andrea H. Mason; Alejandra S. Padilla; Kristen A. Pickett – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2024
Previous studies have identified patterns of coordinated control when adults combine gait and grasping. What remains unclear is whether the coordination of these two tasks differs between adolescent and adult groups. Groups of adults and adolescents were asked to walk across an instrumented gait mat in three conditions: walk forward, walk and…

Sterre K. Ruitenburg; Pieter Guldemont; Paul A. Kirschner; Halszka Jarodzka; Gino Camp – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2025
Successful adoption of proven effective practice strategies such as distributed practice may contribute to much-needed improvement in mathematics performance. However, it is not yet fully understood if distributed practice is beneficial for long-term retention of complex procedural knowledge and, if so, for which initial practice performance level…

Shari Cavicchi; Abdulaziz Abubshait; Giulia Siri; Magda Mustile; Francesca Ciardo – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2025
Cognitive load occurs when the demands of a task surpass the available processing capacity, straining mental resources and potentially impairing performance efficiency, such as increasing the number of errors in a task. Owing to its ubiquity in real-world scenarios, the existence of offloading strategies to reduce cognitive load is not new to…

Trudi Lord; Paul Horwitz; Amy Pallant; Christopher Lore – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2025
This study employs the Experiential Learning Theory framework to investigate students' use of a wildfire simulation. We analyzed log files automatically generated by middle and high school students (n = 1515) as they used a wildfire simulation and answered associated prompts in three simulation-based tasks. We first analyzed students' log files to…

Rebecca J. Collie; Andrew J. Martin – Social Psychology of Education: An International Journal, 2025
Educational bodies are weighing up the extent to which generative artificial intelligence (genAI) is embedded within educational settings. Although researchers have examined how (generative) AI can be used for effective teaching and learning, less is known about how genAI was being integrated within teachers' practice shortly after the wide-scale…

Guoyang Liu; Yueyuan Zheng; Michelle Hei Lam Tsang; Zhao Yazhou; Janet H. Hsiao – npj Science of Learning, 2025
Eye movement patterns and consistency during face recognition are both associated with recognition performance. We examined whether they reflect different mechanisms through EEG decoding. Eighty-four participants performed an old-new face recognition task with eye movement pattern and consistency quantified using eye movement analysis with hidden…

Andrew Jackson – Journal of Technology Education, 2025
The design process is full of judgment, especially around successes and failures that occur through each iteration. Decisions about how to proceed when ideas do not work can be especially challenging for beginning designers. Yet, experts are able to demonstrate more natural regulation of the process. This research focused on the experiences of…

Falakfarsa, Galan; Brand, Denys; Bensemann, Joshua; Jones, Lea; Miguel, Caio F.; Heinicke, Megan R.; Mason, Makenna A. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2023
Procedural fidelity is defined as the extent to which the independent variable is implemented as prescribed. Research using computerized tasks has shown that fidelity errors involving consequences for behavior can hinder skill acquisition. However, studies examining the effects of these errors once skills have been mastered are lacking. Thus, this…

Hutto, Randi; Fleming, Kandace; Davidson, Meghan M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: The purpose of this research note was to examine the sample representation, feasibility and completion, and data quality when using an unmoderated remote study (i.e., conducted without direct contact with a researcher) for a listening comprehension task with 4- to 11-year-old children. Method: Thirty-five participants met inclusionary…

Elizabeth R. Thomas; Robyn K. Pinilla; Leanne R. Ketterlin-Geller; Cassandra Hatfield – Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 2023
Cognitive interviews play an important role in articulating the intended construct of educational assessments. This paper describes the iterative development of protocols for cognitive interviews with kindergarten through second-grade children to understand how their spatial reasoning skill development aligns with intended constructs. We describe…

John Duff – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Language comprehension requires a complex series of decisions under uncertainty. This is especially obvious when one string may have multiple different interpretations, whether due to lexical ambiguity, or the potential for an inference beyond literal content. This dissertation profiles how the human system for language comprehension times those…
