Erim Kizildere; Tilbe Göksun – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2025
This longitudinal study investigated parents' different pretend play behaviors (substitution, animation, and role enactment) to their infants during free play and the bidirectional links with infants' vocabulary development at 14 months (Time-1: N = 34, M[subscript age] = 14.23 months) and 20 months (Time-2: N = 34, M[subscript age] = 20.33…

Patrik Havan; Michal Kohút; Peter Halama – International Journal of Testing, 2025
Acquiescence is the tendency of participants to shift their responses to agreement. Lechner et al. (2019) introduced the following mechanisms of acquiescence: social deference and cognitive processing. We added their interaction into a theoretical framework. The sample consists of 557 participants. We found significant medium strong relationship…

Adrien Alejandro Fillon; Fabien Girandola; Nathalie Bonnardel; Lionel Souchet – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2025
People systematically overlook subtractive changes and favor additive ones when reporting new ideas. In a first preregistered experiment conducted via the Prolific platform among French adults (N = 477), we replicated experiments 2, 3, and 4 in Adams et al.'s study. We replicated the overlooking of subtraction, as participants reported 1155…

Jianqiang Ye; Yubin Zheng; Min Zhan; Yiling Zhou; Long Li; Dimei Chen – Research in Science Education, 2025
Organic chemistry is challenging for novices as it involves a large quantity of organic reactions. Effective learning requires not only profound theoretical knowledge but also the ability to reason about causal mechanisms. This study investigated pre-service chemistry teachers' mechanistic reasoning and the implicit cognitive process. Participants…

Ivana Rochovská – Acta Educationis Generalis, 2025
Introduction: The research analyses four science primary school textbooks designed for the 3rd grade. Methods: The textbooks were analysed using various methods and procedures. It was determined which of the examined textbooks is the most educationally effective, meaning it not only provides information from the respective field and focuses on…

Jennifer E. Corbett; Jaap Munneke – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2025
From video games to laparoscopic surgeries, differences in users' abilities to adapt to new control schemes can have significant, even deadly impacts on performance. Starting with the question of why some video game players invert the y-axis on their console controllers, this work aims to provide a foundation for future investigations of how…

Belén Palop; Irene Díaz; Luis J. Rodríguez-Muñiz; Juan José Santaengracia – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
In the realm of K-12 Education, the growing significance of Computational Thinking has sparked extensive inquiry into its nature and instructional methodologies. Despite a wealth of literature on the subject, ongoing debates persist regarding its fundamental components. Across global educational landscapes, Computational Thinking is being…

Hagit Magen; Michal Tomer-Offen – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2025
In many circumstances in everyday life, individuals offload information to external stores (e.g., shopping lists) to compensate for limitations in internal memory. When saving information externally, individuals tend to refrain from actively encoding an additional internal copy of the information, leading to a weakening of its internal trace. This…

Mara Stockner; Giuliana Mazzoni; Francesco Ianì – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2025
"Motor fluency" refers to the ease with which an action can be performed and several studies have shown how it can modulate various cognitive processes, such as memory and decision making. To investigate these implications of motor fluency, typing-based paradigms have been proven to be useful. In this literature, based on pioneering…

Ginnobili, Santiago; González Galli, Leonardo; Ariza, Yefrin – Science & Education, 2022
We argue that teleological thinking plays a central role in biology and, more specifically, in theory of natural selection, and, therefore, the didactic goal cannot be its unnuanced elimination. In this sense, we will suggest that students' teleological views can be used as the starting point for the construction of knowledge in this area of…

Shields, Grant S.; Hunter, Colton L.; Yonelinas, Andrew P. – Learning & Memory, 2022
The effects of acute stress on memory encoding are complex. Recent work has suggested that both the delay between stress and encoding and the relevance of the information learned to the stressor may modulate the effects of stress on memory encoding, but the relative contribution of each of these two factors is unclear. Therefore, in the present…

Coppess, Brian – Educational Research: Theory and Practice, 2022
Although empathy is cited as a favorable leadership disposition in research, school principals are typically unsure about the role of empathy while performing their duties. Through a review of literature, this paper discerns specific strategies that should diminish principals' confusion about empathy and lead to more empathic, inclusive school…

Alzahabi, Reem; Hussey, Erika; Ward, Nathan – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Cognitive control operates via two distinct mechanisms, proactive and reactive control. These control states are engaged differentially, depending on a number of within-subject factors, but also between-group variables. While research has begun to explore if shifts in control can be experimentally modulated, little is known about whether context…

Kit Turner; Jennifer P. Lilgendahl; Moin Syed; Kate C. McLean – Developmental Psychology, 2024
We examined the critical task of emerging adulthood--identity development--via analyses of trajectories of identity exploration and commitment over the college years, as well as whether narrative processing of important events during this period served as a mechanism of identity exploration and commitment. We took advantage of a unique and…

Yanli Lin; Rachel E. Brough; Allison Tay; Joshua J. Jackson; Todd S. Braver – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2024
Previous research has linked working memory capacity (WMC) with enhanced proactive control. However, it remains unclear the extent to which this relationship reflects the influence of WMC on the tendency to engage proactive control, or rather, the ability to implement it. The current study sought to clarify this ambiguity by leveraging the Dual…
