Drawing on the job demands-resources model and conservation of resources theory, this study explored the roles of two types of resources, namely academic buoyancy (a personal resource) and perceived autonomy support (a social resource), and their interactive effect on self-regulated learning (an adaptive outcome), controlling for age, gender, and…

Limited research has examined the perspectives of teachers and parents on the effectiveness of e-learning platforms in achieving educational outcomes for kindergarteners. This study sought to evaluate the views of teachers and parents regarding the effectiveness of the Darsak platform in supporting educational outcomes in kindergarten settings. A…

The purpose of this study was to explore factors associated with parents' reporting that their child had been involved in bullying in preschool. A total of 857 parents responded to a digital survey, of which 14% (119) indicated that their child had been involved in conflicts that they would describe as bullying. Hierarchical logistic regression…

Intensive services are recommended for young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Limited research on service receipt in states with mandated ASD-specific service coverage suggests that it remains low, and factors associated with intensity are unclear. Participants were 206 children from the Boston Outcomes of Autism in Toddlers study…

This study examines demographic factors explaining adult digital literacy in Türkiye through a functional literacy approach. Demographics were chosen to examine functional digital literacy because factors such as gender, education and age significantly influence access to and use of digital technologies, making them key predictors of digital…

Computational thinking (CT) has been argued as an essential skill for all students, critical to surviving in the 21st-century era and navigating through a more digital world. Understanding the impact of variables such as gender and age on the development of problem-solving skills is essential for creating equal educational experiences. This…

This study examines developmental differences in the acquisition of computational thinking (CT) among students in Grades 3 to 5 (ages 8-11) engaged in educational robotics (ER) activities implemented through a peer tutoring (PT) framework. The sample comprised 78 students from a public school in Europe, with fifth-grade students serving as tutors…

Background: STEM identity has gained increasing attention for its impact on shaping students' intention to pursue careers in STEM fields. However, its role remains unclear due to inconsistent findings across various studies. This meta-analysis aimed to explore the strength and potential moderators of their relationship by synthesizing evidence…

We examined how different types of negative emotional states (anger, disgust, sadness) influence arithmetic performance, and whether this influence is modulated by the types of arithmetic operations and moderated by adults' age. Younger and older adults verified addition and multiplication problems that were superimposed on emotionally negative…

The aims of the present study were to analyse the gender differences in balance, catching, aiming and change of direction ability (CODA) in elementary education students and to determine the relationship among these motor skills. Balance, catching, aiming and CODA were assessed in 197 elementary education students (6-8). Girls presented higher…

Purpose: Knowing target location can improve adults' speech-in-speech recognition in complex auditory environments, but it is unknown whether young children listen selectively in space. This study evaluated masked word recognition with and without a pretrial cue to location to characterize the influence of listener age and masker type on the…

Purpose: Functional reserve represents the difference between an individual's ability to produce a maximum output function and the ability to perform a functional task. Several studies have documented an age-related decrease in functional reserve with oral tongue pressure generation. Whether this pattern is seen in pharyngeal swallowing pressures…

Research suggests exposure to misinformation continues to impact belief and reasoning, even if that misinformation has been corrected (referred to as the "Continued Influence Effect, CIE"). The proposed experiment explores two potentially important factors that may impact the effect: (a) learner age and (b) length of delay between…

The ability to generate memories that persist throughout a lifetime (that is, memory persistence) emerges in early development across species. Although it has been shown that persistent fear memories emerge between late infancy and adolescence in mice, it is unclear exactly when this transition takes place, and whether two major fear conditioning…

By comparing 51 autistic adults and 49 age-matched controls (aged 30-73 years) we tested if (1) the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is more sensitive in measuring cognitive impairments than the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and (2) if we can replicate the MoCA-findings of Powell et al. (2017) with the Dutch MoCA(-NL). Results showed…
