Skakni, Isabelle – Teaching in Higher Education, 2018
Intellectual abilities alone are not sufficient to successfully progress through doctoral studies. Research indicates that modes of training and the context and conditions in which doctoral studies take place also have a significant impact on the process. However, few studies examine how taken-for-granted and self-evident practices in academia…

Gaston, Paul L. – Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, 2018
As this anniversary issue of "Change" goes to press, Congress should be considering reauthorization of the Higher Education Act. It was up for renewal in 2014. But meaningful action before the November 2018 elections seems unlikely. What was once routine housekeeping with broad bipartisan support has in the past 15 years become another…

Mamo, Sara K.; Reed, Nicholas S.; Price, Carrie; Occhipinti, Dona; Pletnikova, Alexandra; Lin, Frank R.; Oh, Esther S. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review was to assess studies of treating hearing loss in older adults with cognitive impairment. Of interest to this review is identifying clinical adaptations that may be used to tailor hearing loss treatment to older adults with cognitive impairment in order to better serve this vulnerable population.…

Chen, Kuan-Lin; Lin, Chien-Ho; Yu, Tzu-Ying; Huang, Chien-Yu; Chen, Ying-Dar – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
This study aimed to compare symptoms of autism spectrum disorder using the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) and the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS™-2) and to investigate their influencing factors. The diagnostic agreement was 92.7%, but with a fair Kappa value (0.247). Children's verbal comprehension was related to the CARS scores, and no…

H.; Pasco, Greg; Pickles, Andrew; Tucker, Leslie; Volein, Agnes – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2018
Cognitive and adaptive behaviour abilities early in life provide important clinical prognostic information. We examined stability of such skills in children at high familial risk for ASD who either met diagnostic criteria for ASD at age 7 years (HR-ASD, n = 15) or did not (HR-non-ASD, n = 24) and low-risk control children (LR, n = 37),…

McAfee, Ciara A.; Wyckoff, Emily P.; Choe, Katherine S. – Infant and Child Development, 2018
Time is closely linked to people's representation of spatial experience. Previous research showed that adults primed with positive affect judged that they were approaching the event (ego-moving), whereas those primed with negative affect reported that the event was approaching them (event-moving). The present research investigated the…

Ekici, Summani; Irez, Gonul Babayigit; Saygin, Ozcan; Goksel, Ali Gurel; Yildiz, Yasin – Online Submission, 2018
Spatial skill is the ability to move or reconstruct objects and components of one or more parts in three-dimensional space in their mind. In other words, it is defined as the mental arrangement of spatial skills objects and their parts in two-dimensional and three-dimensional space. 500 volunteer students included from Faculty of Education Primary…

Esposito, Alena G.; Bauer, Patricia J. – Grantee Submission, 2018
Self-derivation of new factual knowledge through integration of separate episodes of learning is one means by which children build knowledge. Content generated in this manner becomes incorporated into the knowledge base and is retained over time; successful self-derivation predicts academic achievement. Yet the component processes on which…

Vintere, Anna – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2018
The mathematics studies at university develop the cognitive abilities of the person, influence studies of special subjects as well as contribute to the development of professional competence. Nevertheless, several studies have been carried out to show that the quality of mathematical studies is decreasing and students' preparation and knowledge…

Redding, Sam; Twyman, Janet – Center on Innovations in Learning, Temple University, 2018
Teachers are accustomed to gathering and analyzing data that show what a student knows, has learned, and has not yet learned. With this information, aggregated for the class, the teacher may alter her lesson plans to accelerate her pace or slow down to reteach. She may make notes to alter the lesson design for the next time she teaches the lesson.…

Lindelani Mnguni – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2018
The use of visual models in teaching, learning and research has increased. Consequently, students have to develop various new competencies including visual literacy in order to learn efficiently. However, visual literacy among biochemistry students is not well documented. Using quantitative research methodology, the current research was aimed at…

Redmond, Sean M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Estimates of the expected co-occurrence rates of idiopathic language disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) provide a confusing and inconsistent picture. Potential sources for discrepancies considered so far include measurement and ascertainment biases (Redmond, 2016a, 2016b). In this research symposium forum…

Darko, Christian K.; Vasilakos, Nicholas – British Educational Research Journal, 2020
We use data from the Young Lives longitudinal survey to analyse the effect of socioeconomic conditions and gender on the educational performance of young children in India. In particular, we use data for standardised scores on two cognitive tests: the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) and a maths test. Our results show that there are…

Haciomeroglu, Erhan Selcuk; Haciomeroglu, Guney – International Journal of Progressive Education, 2020
The present study sought to examine mathematical performance of students with different learning preferences in traditionally taught first semester calculus as well as its relationship with learning preference, spatial ability, and verbal-logical reasoning ability. Data were collected from 86 students enrolled in two sections of first semester…
