Papamitsiou, Zacharoula; Economides, Anastasios A. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
This longitudinal study investigates the differences in learners' effortful behaviour over time due to receiving metacognitive help--in the form of on-demand task-related visual analytics. Specifically, learners' interactions (N = 67) with the tasks were tracked during four self-assessment activities, conducted at four discrete points in time,…

Baisa, Ayelet; Mevorach, Carmel; Shalev, Lilach – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
The role of relative salience in processing of hierarchical stimuli in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was examined in this study. Participants with ASD and typically developing controls performed a Navon letters task under conditions of global salience, local salience or equal salience of both levels. Results revealed no group…

Derouet, Joffrey; Droit-Volet, Sylvie; Doyère, Valérie – Learning & Memory, 2021
The present study evaluates the updating of long-term memory for duration. After learning a temporal discrimination associating one lever with a standard duration (4 sec) and another lever with both a shorter (1-sec) and a longer (16-sec) duration, rats underwent a single session for learning a new standard duration. The temporal generalization…

Winiger, Samuel; Singmann, Henrik; Kellen, David – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2021
Ongoing discussions on the nature of storage in visual working memory have mostly focused on 2 theoretical accounts: On one hand we have a discrete-state account, postulating that information in working memory is supported with high fidelity for a limited number of discrete items by a given number of "slots," with no information being…

Alonso, David; Lavelle, Mark; Drew, Trafton – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2021
Prior research has shown that interruptions lead to a variety of performance costs. However, these costs are heterogenous and poorly understood. Under some circumstances, interruptions lead to large decreases in accuracy on the primary task, whereas in others task duration increases, but task accuracy is unaffected. Presently, the underlying cause…

Vekaria, Komal Bhupendra; Calyam, Prasad; Wang, Songjie; Payyavula, Ramya; Rockey, Matthew; Ahmed, Nafis – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2021
There is an increasing trend in cloud adoption of enterprise applications in, for example, manufacturing, healthcare, and finance. Such applications are routinely subject to targeted cyberattacks, which result in significant loss of sensitive data (e.g., due to data exfiltration in advanced persistent threats) or valuable utilities (e.g., due to…

Panorkou, Nicole – Cognition and Instruction, 2021
This study presents the results of a series of design experiments that aimed to engage twelve fourth-grade students in mathematical activity exploring the volume of right prisms and cylinders as a dynamic sweep of a surface through a height, an approach that is referred to as Dynamic Measurement for Volume (DYME-V). This article describes this…

Manga, Annamária; Madurka, Petra; Vakli, Pál; Kirwan, C. Brock; Vidnyánszky, Zoltán – Learning & Memory, 2021
Binding visual features into coherent object representations is essential both in short- and long-term memory. However, the relationship between feature binding processes at different memory delays remains unexplored. Here, we addressed this question by using the Mnemonic Similarity Task and a delayed-estimation working memory task on a large…

Garofalo, Gioacchino; Marino, Barbara F. M.; Bellelli, Stefano; Riggio, Lucia – Cognitive Science, 2021
We performed three experiments to investigate whether adjectives can modulate the sensorimotor activation elicited by nouns. In Experiment 1, nouns of graspable objects were used as stimuli. Participants had to decide if each noun referred to a natural or artifact, by performing either a precision or a power reach-to-grasp movement. Response grasp…

Pepin, Guillaume; Fort, Alexandra; Jallais, Christophe; Moreau, Fabien; Ndiaye, Daniel; Navarro, Jordan; Gabaude, Catherine – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2021
Mind-wandering (MW) has a negative impact on tasks requiring sustained and divided attention like driving. During MW, drivers experience perceptual decoupling. As driving is mainly a visual activity, it would seem to be appropriate to evaluate stages of visual information processing impaired during MW, using event-related potential techniques. The…

Kim, Jong-Baeg; Moon, Kyoung-Suk; Park, Soowon – Asia Pacific Education Review, 2021
This study assessed the combined effects of students' achievement goal orientations (performance-approach goal and mastery-approach goal) and contextual factors (goal structures and task difficulty) on their performance. Researchers first asked 313 junior students about their achievement goal orientations and then randomly assigned them to one of…

Rehrig, Gwendolyn L.; Cheng, Michelle; McMahan, Brian C.; Shome, Rahul – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2021
A major problem in human cognition is to understand how newly acquired information and long-standing beliefs about the environment combine to make decisions and plan behaviors. Over-dependence on long-standing beliefs may be a significant source of suboptimal decision-making in unusual circumstances. While the contribution of long-standing beliefs…

Yanaoka, Kaichi; Saito, Satoru – Child Development, 2021
This study examined whether executive functions impact how flexibly children represent task context in performing repeated sequential actions. Japanese children in Experiments 1 (N = 52; 3-6 years) and 2 (N = 50, 4-6 years) performed sequential actions repeatedly; one group received reminders. Experiment 1 indicated that reminders promote flexible…

Urban, Kamila; Urban, Marek – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2021
Accurate self-evaluation leads to better regulation of learning and better performance in elementary school children and acts as a predictor of future academic success. The present study investigates the conditions under which preschoolers' self-evaluation accuracy can be enhanced. In the empirical research, 111 children were assigned to one of…

Lavoie, Monica; Black, Sandra E.; Tang-Wai, David F.; Graham, Naida L.; Stewart, Steven; Leonard, Carol; Rochon, Elizabeth – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: Despite its importance, in-depth analysis of connected speech is often neglected in the diagnosis of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) -- especially for the logopenic variant (lvPPA) for which unreliable differential diagnosis has been documented. Only a few studies have been conducted on this topic in lvPPA. Aims: The aim of this…
