Direct linkHarris, Paul L.; Cheng, Liao – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Research with adults has increasingly moved beyond the focus on a small set of allegedly basic emotions, each associated with a signature facial expression. That expansion has been accompanied by a greater emphasis on the potential variability of emotion concepts across different cultural settings. In this conceptual review of children's…

Ferrante, Donatella; Girotto, Vittorio; Straga, Marta; Walsh, Clare – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2013
Current views of hypothetical thinking implicitly assume that the content of imaginary thoughts about the past and future should be the same. Two experiments show that, given the same experienced facts of reality, future imagination may differ from past reconstruction. When participants failed a task, their counterfactual thoughts focused on…

Grandinetti, Roberto – Learning Organization, 2011
Purpose: With the advance of globalization the competitive chances of industrial districts depends increasingly on their ability to connect to the cognitive circuits of the global economy. This challenge demands the presence of local actors capable of acting as cognitive interfaces between the district context and the global environment. The paper…

This contribution explains the connection between spatial intelligence and spatial competences and by indicating how the first is the cognitive matrix of abilities necessary to move in space as well as to represent it. Indeed, two are principal factors involved in the spatial intelligence: orientation and representation. Both are based on a close…

Kroesbergen, Evelyn H.; Van Luit, Johannes E. H.; Naglieri, Jack A.; Taddei, Stefano; Franchi, Elena – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2010
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between early mathematical skills and cognitive processing abilities for two samples of children in Italy (N = 40) and the Netherlands (N = 59) who completed both a cognitive test that measures Planning, Attention, Simultaneous, and Successive (PASS) processing and an early mathematical…

Cattaneo, Zaira; Vecchi, Tomaso – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2008
In this article, the authors investigated unimodal and cross-modal processes in spatial working memory. A number of locations had to be memorized within visual or haptic matrices according to different experimental conditions known to be critical in accounting for the effects of perception on imagery. Results reveal that some characteristics of…

Looney, Janet W. – OECD Publishing (NJ1), 2009
Do some forms of student (and school) assessment hinder the introduction of innovative educational practices and the development of innovation skills in education systems? This report focuses on the impact of high-stake summative assessment on innovation and argues that it is possible to reconcile high-stakes assessments and examinations through…

Grano, Caterina; Lucidi, Fabio; Zelli, Arnaldo; Violani, Cristiano – International Journal of Aging and Human Development, 2008
The present study focused on changes in volunteering over time among Italian adults and examined a model in which motives from self-determination theory (SDT) were hypothesized to influence a series of social-cognitive processes including self-efficacy judgments and constructs from the theory of planned behavior (TPB). The study was conducted with…

Ligorio, M. Beatrice; Cesareni, Donatella; Schwartz, Neil – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2008
Virtual environments are able to extend the space of interaction beyond the classroom. In order to analyze how distributed cognition functions in such an extended space, we suggest focusing on the architecture of intersubjectivity. The Euroland project--a virtual land created and populated by seven classrooms supported by a team of…

This study sought to identify and compare the characteristics of the social pedagogic context of cognitive activities in a sample of early education settings in six European countries (England, Finland, Greece, Italy, Spain and Sweden). Previous research concerning the social context within which cognitive/learning activities take place has…

Sabena, Cristina – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2004
The paper reports on a case study from a teaching experiment on the construction of meaning of integral at secondary school level, starting from the cognitive root of area. In the considered activity, students are faced with some graphs of functions and are asked to work in group to trace the corresponding integral functions. The analysis…

Cartiglia, Marco; Furinghetti, Fulvia; Paola, Domingo – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2004
In this paper we report on some patterns of reasoning, which emerged during an activity of proving a mathematical statement performed by nine grade and university mathematics students. The statement in question involves drawing figures, working in arithmetic and in algebra. As for secondary students we detected fluency, flexibility and ability of…
