Ensor, Tyler M.; Surprenant, Aimée M.; Neath, Ian; Hockley, William E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
In recognition, context effects often manifest as higher hit and false-alarm rates to probes tested in an old context compared with probes tested in a new context; sometimes, this concordant effect is accompanied by a discrimination advantage. According to the cue-overload account of context effects (Rutherford, 2004), context acts like any other…

Sehl, Claudia G.; Denison, Stephanie; Friedman, Ori – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Children have a robust social preference for people similar to them, like those who share their language, accent, and race. In the present research, we show that this preference can diminish when children consider who they want to learn about. Across three experiments, 4- to 6-year-olds (total N = 160; 74 female, 86 male, from the Waterloo region…

Kragness, Haley E.; Ullah, Farhat; Chan, Emma; Moses, Rachel; Cirelli, Laura K. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Around the world, musical engagement frequently involves movement. Most adults easily clap or sway to a wide range of tempos, even without formal musical training. The link between movement and music emerges early--young infants move more rhythmically to music than speech, but do not reliably align their movements to the beat. Laboratory work…

Diane Morin; Philippe Valois; Mélina Rivard; Cécile Bardon; Caroline Faust; Claire Robitaille – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2024
Purpose: The main objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of the participation of students and health professionals who provided free health screenings for athletes with intellectual disabilities (ID) during their sports competitions on their attitudes toward people with ID. Methods: Quantitative data were collected from 51 students and…

White, Katherine S.; Nilsen, Elizabeth S.; Deglint, Taylor; Silva, Janel – First Language, 2020
Disfluencies, such as 'um' or 'uh', can cause adults to attribute uncertainty to speakers, but may also facilitate speech processing. To understand how these different functions affect children's learning, we asked whether (dis)fluency affects children's decision to select information from speakers (an explicit behavior) and their learning of…

Pereverseff, Rosemary S.; Bodner, Glen E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Based on the classic distinction between semantic and episodic memory, people answer general-knowledge questions by querying their semantic memory. And yet, an appeal of trivia games is the variety of memory experiences they arouse--including the recollection of episodic details. We report the first in-depth exploration of the memory states that…

Ashcroft, Katie; Etmanski, Brittany; Fannon, Anne-Marie; Pretti, T. Judene – International Journal of Work-Integrated Learning, 2021
Student performance evaluations are a traditional method for assessing a student's skills during a work-integrated learning (WIL) experience. While these assessments provide students with feedback on the development of their skills, little documentation of student performance exists after the WIL experience. This paper explores the role of…

Cirelli, Laura K.; Trehub, Sandra E. – Developmental Psychology, 2020
Parents commonly vocalize to infants to mitigate their distress, especially when holding them is not possible. Here we examined the relative efficacy of parents' speech and singing (familiar and unfamiliar songs) in alleviating the distress of 8- and 10-month-old infants (n = 68 per age group). Parent-infant dyads participated in 3 trials of the…

Abdulaziz Alarifi; Benjamin V. Tucker – Second Language Research, 2024
This study investigated the role of orthographic information in the acquisition of non-native speech sounds by monolingual English listeners. Two potentially important orthographic variables were explored: Orthographic compatibility (whether the orthographic information supports or contradicts the distributional information) and orthographic…

Peterson, Amy J.; Silver, Gillian K.; Bell, Heather A.; Guinosso, Stephanie A.; Coyle, Karin K. – American Journal of Sexuality Education, 2023
This synthesis of 30 qualitative studies examined young people's views on pornography related to their sexual health. Synthesis revealed pornography use is considered normal by young people, reinforced by its usefulness as a tool for pleasure, information, and instruction in the absence of sufficient sexuality education. However, youth can become…

Galante, Angelica; Piccardo, Enrica – ELT Journal, 2022
Pronunciation is a common topic of interest in ELT but teachers may be unsure of what features of pronunciation to prioritise, especially in multilingual classes. While research calls for explicit pronunciation instruction that focuses on improving intelligibility and comprehensibility, implementation is still a challenge. This article presents…

Gennis, Hannah; DiLorenzo, Miranda; Pillai Riddell, Rebecca; Spiegel, Rebecca; Connolly, Jennifer; Martin, Jodi – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2020
This study explores the impact of talks by university researchers in different formats on students' perceptions of research. Undergraduate students (N = 222) were randomly assigned to watch research talks via video recording (n = 78), research talks presented live (n = 67), or a control group (n = 77). Students completed pre-intervention (Time 1)…

Sutton, Sarah; Miles, Rachel; Konkiel, Stacy – Journal of Education for Library and Information Science, 2018
Altmetrics track the attention paid to scholarship via mentions in social media, the press, and other non-traditional venues. For library and information science (LIS) faculty, altmetrics are also a new and important area for research and teaching. We conducted a survey of LIS faculty teaching in US and Canadian graduate LIS programs accredited by…

Wammes, Jeffrey D.; Meade, Melissa E.; Fernandes, Myra A. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Drawing a picture of to-be-remembered information substantially boosts memory performance in free-recall tasks. In the current work, we sought to test the notion that drawing confers its benefit to memory performance by creating a detailed recollection of the encoding context. In Experiments 1 and 2, we demonstrated that for both pictures and…

Teng, Minnie Y.; Brown, Mary-Lou; Jarus, Tal; Yvonne Bulk, Laura – Research in Education, 2020
Belonging is associated with increased engagement in academic pursuits and well-being. However, there is a lack of research on how a sense of belonging develops in academia. The academic environment comprises largely of sighted individuals. Exploring sighted students, staff, and educators' perceptions of belonging contributes to our understanding…
