Leyva, Diana; Yeomans-Maldonado, Gloria; Weiland, Christina; Shapiro, Anna; Leech, Kathryn; Pilot, Isabella; Wolf, Sophie – Journal of Literacy Research, 2023
Researchers largely rely on child language and literacy measures to determine the effectiveness of interventions for Latino dual language learners. However, some of these measures may miss certain strengths of these students. This study identified two unstandardized language and literacy tasks (IDELA food and animal vocabulary and personal…

Donna Bryce; Florian Kattner; Teresa Birngruber; Paul Wellingerhof – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Knowing what one knows and accurately monitoring one's own capacities and performance on a moment-to-moment basis are important determinants of task success. Individual differences in such metacognitive monitoring are well documented, but what determines an individual's monitoring accuracy in a particular context is yet to be fully understood. One…

Allison L. Gantt; Teo Paoletti; Srujana V. Acharya; Claudine Margolis – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
Emergent graphical shape thinking (EGST) entails conceiving a graph as being dynamically generated via the trace of a moving point constrained by two changing quantities. As such, Paoletti et al. (2023) argue that meanings for quantities within a situation and meanings for graphical representations must be connected, or bridged, to engage in EGST.…

Herbert, Matthew; Notebaert, Lies; Parsons, Sam; Fox, Elaine; MacLeod, Colin – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2020
The objective of this study is to determine whether attention toward fear messages is affected by variation in the controllability of the associated danger. There is no consensus regarding the effectiveness of fear appeals in driving adaptive behaviour, and it may be the case that threat messages fail to capture attention if the associated danger…

Kachouri, Hiba; Laatar, Rabeb; Borji, Rihab; Rebai, Haithem; Sahli, Sonia – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2020
Background: The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effects of dual-task (DT) constraints on walking performance in children with intellectual disability (ID). Methods: Fifteen children with intellectual disability and fifteen age-matched typically developed children were asked to walk at a preferred speed: along a path (baseline…

Madeleine Long; Hannah Rohde; Michelle Oraa Ali; Paula Rubio-Fernandez – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
This study aims to advance our understanding of the nature and source(s) of individual differences in pragmatic language behavior over the adult lifespan. Across four story continuation experiments, we probed adults' (N = 496 participants, ages 18-82) choice of referential forms (i.e., names vs. pronouns to refer to the main character). Our…

Sophie Wacker; Claudia M. Roebers – Metacognition and Learning, 2024
When young children evaluate their confidence, their monitoring is often overoptimistic, that is, inaccurate. The present study investigated a potential underlying mechanism for kindergarteners' and second graders' overconfidence within a paired associates learning paradigm. We implemented a pre-monitoring phase motivating children to…

Marc Brysbaert – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2024
Experimental psychology is witnessing an increase in research on individual differences, which requires the development of new tasks that can reliably assess variations among participants. To do this, cognitive researchers need statistical methods that many researchers have not learned during their training. The lack of expertise can pose…

Ingela Holmström; Krister Schönström; Magnus Ryttervik – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2024
There is a lack of tests available for assessing sign language proficiency among L2 learners. We have therefore developed a sign repetition test, SignRepL2, with a specific focus on the phonological features of signs. This paper describes the two phases of developing this test. In the first phase, content was developed in the form of 50 items with…

Laura S. Tortorelli; Adrea J. Truckenmiller – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2024
Research has established that reading and writing skills are closely linked for most individuals, which can be explained by the shared knowledge and functional relations theoretical perspectives. The current study used quantile regression to explore differences between and within Grades 3-5 in the United States in the associations between a…

Spyridoula Varlokosta; Katerina Fragkopoulou; Dimitra Arfani; Christina Manouilidou – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: The detection and description of language impairments in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's Disease (AD) play an important role in research, clinical diagnosis and intervention. Various methodological protocols have been implemented for the assessment of morphosyntactic abilities in AD; narrative discourse elicitation tasks…

Gabriella Pocalana; Ornella Robutti – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
This study is aimed to understand the connections between didacticians' meta-didactical praxeologies for the design and implementation of a teacher professional development program and their documentation work for the program itself. Didacticians are mathematics education researchers with the role of teacher educators. Data presents a case study,…

Mads Poulsen; Athanassios Protopapas; Holger Juul – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
Purpose: This study investigated how correlations between rapid automatized naming (RAN) and reading depend on characteristics of the stimuli. RAN tasks using stimuli with high phonological demands were predicted to be the strongest correlates of decoding efficiency, while high semantic demands were predicted to lead to stronger correlations with…

Jinbo Tan; Lei Wu; Shanshan Ma – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
The purpose of this study was to investigate the collaborative dialogue patterns of pair programming and their impact on programming self-efficacy and coding performance for both slow- and fast-paced students. Forty-six postgraduate students participated in the study. The students were asked to solve programming problems in pairs; those pairs'…

Junming Chen; Martin Howard – Language Learning, 2024
Exploring the underinvestigated area of instruction during study abroad, this article offers a quantitative study of linguistic development among second language university learners of Chinese during a semester in China. A comparison is made between learners following task-based language teaching and a comparison group following a traditional…
