Davies, Ben; Jones, Ian – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2022
In this paper, we explore the role of mathematical proof summaries as a tool for capturing students' reading comprehension of a given proof. We present an interview study based on mathematicians' pairwise evaluations of student-produced summaries of a proof demonstrating the uncountability of the open unit interval. We present a thematic analysis,…

Hsu, Chien-Ju – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Sentence comprehension requires both syntactic prediction and working memory processes. Evidence suggests that both are impaired in agrammatic aphasia, and can independently contribute to comprehension breakdowns, but the relationship between them, especially during real-time sentence comprehension remains unclear. Two EEG studies investigated…

Mulvey, Bridget K.; Parrish, Jennifer C.; Reid, Joshua W.; Papa, Jeffrey; Peters-Burton, Erin E. – Science & Education, 2021
In-depth understanding of nature of science (NOS) moves beyond knowledge of discrete NOS aspects to consider connections among NOS aspects. This study presents three teacher cases pre to post a nature of science graduate course to explore the potential of an innovative analytic approach that focuses on the connections individual learners make…

Lauren Petley; Chelsea Blankenship; Lisa L. Hunter; Hannah J. Stewart; Li Lin; David R. Moore – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Amplitude modulations (AMs) are important for speech intelligibility, and deficits in speech intelligibility are a leading source of impairment in childhood listening difficulties (LiD). The present study aimed to explore the relationships between AM perception and speech-in-noise (SiN) comprehension in children and to determine whether…
