Iao, Lai-Sang; Roeser, Jens; Justice, Lucy; Jones, Gary – Developmental Psychology, 2021
Concurrent learning of adjacent and nonadjacent dependencies has been shown in adults only. This study extended this line of research by examining dependency-specific learning for both adjacent and nonadjacent dependencies concurrently in both adults and children. Seventy adults aged 18 to 64 (40 women, 30 men; Experiment 1) and 64 children aged…

Touloumakos, Anna K.; Vlachou, Evangelia; Papadatou-Pastou, Marietta – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2023
The term learning styles (LS) describes the notion that individuals have a preferred modality of learning (i.e., vision, audition, or kinesthesis) and that matching instruction to this modality results in optimal learning. During the last decades, LS has received extensive criticism, yet they remain a virtual truism within education. One of the…

Gale, Elaine – Young Exceptional Children, 2021
What can be done to ensure that early intervention programs collaborate with deaf adults and provide families with newly identified deaf newborns with immediate and multiple connections with deaf adults? The aim of this article is to review published recommendations for infusing deaf adults in early intervention programs, to highlight the…

Roark, Casey L.; Lescht, Erica; Hampton Wray, Amanda; Chandrasekaran, Bharath – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Categories are fundamental to everyday life and the ability to learn new categories is relevant across the lifespan. Categories are ubiquitous across modalities, supporting complex processes such as object recognition and speech perception. Prior work has proposed that different categories may engage learning systems with unique developmental…

Elaine Gale; Amber Martin – Discover Education, 2024
Deaf people use visual language and communication strategies naturally. Moreover, hearing people (both young children and adults) can also benefit from sign language and the visual strategies that deaf parents and teachers use with young children, an example of deaf gain. This paper will provide an overview of the concept of deaf gain, review…

Sarah Cacicio – Adult Literacy Education, 2024
Research shows that the vast majority of students who are diagnosed with learning disabilities in school are, in fact, dyslexic. Still, many students with dyslexia are not adequately identified, assessed, or supported with research-based interventions. Adults with dyslexia report struggling with reading difficulties from as early as kindergarten…

Qi, Zhenghan; Sanchez Araujo, Yoel; Georgan, Wendy C.; Gabrieli, John D. E.; Arciuli, Joanne – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2019
There is growing interest in the link between implicit statistical learning (SL) and reading ability. Although learning to read involves both auditory and visual modalities, it is not known whether reading skills might be more strongly associated with auditory SL or visual SL. Here we assessed SL across both modalities in 36 typically developing…

Primativo, Silvia; Reilly, Jamie; Crutch, Sebastian J – Cognitive Science, 2017
The Abstract Conceptual Feature (ACF) framework predicts that word meaning is represented within a high-dimensional semantic space bounded by weighted contributions of perceptual, affective, and encyclopedic information. The ACF, like latent semantic analysis, is amenable to distance metrics between any two words. We applied predictions of the ACF…

Sali, Anthony W.; Anderson, Brian A.; Yantis, Steven – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Individuals regularly experience fluctuations in the ability to perform cognitive operations. Although previous research has focused on predicting cognitive flexibility from persistent individual traits, as well as from spontaneous fluctuations in neural activity, the role of learning in shaping preparatory attentional control remains poorly…

Rogowsky, Beth A.; Calhoun, Barbara M.; Tallal, Paula – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2015
While it is hypothesized that providing instruction based on individuals' preferred learning styles improves learning (i.e., reading for visual learners and listening for auditory learners, also referred to as the "meshing hypothesis"), after a critical review of the literature Pashler, McDaniel, Rohrer, and Bjork (2008) concluded that…

Cao, Jianxia; Nishihara, Akinori – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 2012
More and more videos are now being used in e-learning context. For improving learning effect, to understand how students view the online video is important. In this research, we investigate how students deploy their attention when they learn through interactive slide video in the aim of better understanding observers' learning style. Felder and…

Rensink, Ronald A.; Enns, James T. – Psychological Review, 1995
Eight experiments, each with 10 observers in each condition, show that the visual search for Mueller-Lyer stimuli is based on complete configurations rather than component segments with preemption by low-level groups. Results support the view that rapid visual search can only access higher level, more ecologically relevant structures. (SLD)

Griffith, Penny L.; Robinson, Jacques H. – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 1984
Signs from lists used with mentally retarded and autistic children and previously rated for visual iconicity were presented tactilely to 13 blind adults. Visual and tactile ratings were very similar across blind and sighted groups, as were statements of relationship between signs and their meanings. (Author/CL)

Gross, Dana; And Others – Child Development, 1991
In two experiments, children and adults made judgments about drawings of a person walking or running. The drawings varied according to whether action lines, background lines, or no lines were present. Seven and nine year olds offered equivalent judgments of action and background lines, whereas adults distinguished between these devices. (BC)

Hayes, Virginia; Reeve, Gilmour T. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1980
This study examined the use of visual feedback (VF) by typists at various skill levels. Subjects performed typing trials under four conditions: unrestricted VF, VF for response confirmation, VF for response guidance, and restricted VF. Results suggest similar use of visual feedback by typists of different skill levels. (Author/SJL)
