He, Huizhong; Zhang, Yunxiang; Su, Mengmeng; Yi, Lixin; Lv, Jiayi – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2023
Deaf and hearing adults perceive faces differently. This study investigates whether these differences are acquired during childhood development. We characterized facial perception in deaf and hearing children aged 7-17 using a perceptual discrimination task. Configural and featural information was manipulated in the eye and mouth facial regions.…

Farkish, Araz; Bosaghzadeh, Alireza; Amiri, S. Hamid; Ebrahimpour, Reza – Education and Information Technologies, 2023
Educational multimedia has proven to be an effective and efficient way of learning. Designers strive to produce multimedia that convey concepts most efficiently. That is to design multimedia that imposes the least possible cognitive load on the learner. Mayer's multimedia design principles are well-known, and multiple pieces of research have…

Cohen, Anna-Lisa; Goldberg, Chaim; Mintz, Jonathan; Shavalian, Elliot – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2023
"Narrative transportation" is a state of total immersion that arises when one becomes engaged in a story. In Cohen et al. (2015), participants viewed a suspenseful film either with order of scenes intact or scrambled (out of chronological order). Participants had to remember to raise their hand every time they heard a film character say…

Caddick, Zachary A.; Fraundorf, Scott H.; Rottman, Benjamin M.; Nokes-Malach, Timothy J. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2023
Over the course of training, physicians develop significant knowledge and expertise. We review dual-process theory, the dominant theory in explaining medical decision making: physicians use both heuristics from accumulated experience (System 1) and logical deduction (System 2). We then discuss how the accumulation of System 1 clinical experience…

Ober, Teresa M.; Lu, Yikai; Blacklock, Chessley B.; Liu, Cheng; Cheng, Ying – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2023
We develop and validate a self-report measure of intrinsic and extrinsic cognitive load suitable for measuring the constructs in a variety of learning contexts. Data were collected from three independent samples of college students in the U.S. (N[subscript total]= 513; M[subscript age]= 21.13 years). Kane's (2013) framework was used to validate…

Jeglinski-Mende, Melinda A.; Fischer, Martin H.; Miklashevsky, Alex – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
While some researchers place negative numbers on a so-called extended mental number line to the left of positive numbers, others claim that negative numbers do not have mental representations but are processed through positive numbers combined with transformation rules. We measured spatial associations of negative numbers with a modified implicit…

Avci-Dogan, Gülsah; Akbulut, Yavuz; Sak, Ugur – Infant and Child Development, 2023
Processing speed is a component of general intelligence and an indicator of learning potential. There is a need for robust measures of mental speed based on contemporary theoretical developments. The current study addressed this need by proposing a mental speed test for children aged 60 to 96 months (5 to 8 years) and examining its psychometric…

Kienitz, Anna; Krebs, Marie-Christin; Eitel, Alexander – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2023
Previous research often revealed detrimental effects of seductive details on learning with multimedia instruction, but there are mixed findings regarding how to best explain these detrimental effects. We investigated whether the detrimental effects of seductive details are mainly mediated by the cognitive processes of diversion (deeper processing…

Marques, Hugo; Brites, Rute; Nunes, Odete; Hipólito, João; Brandão, Tânia – Educational Psychology, 2023
The prevalence of burnout among university students is increasing with consequences for their academic performance. Attachment theory, as a theory of affect regulation and interpersonal relationships, may be an important framework that helps to explain why some students experience academic burnout while others do not. This study aims to examine…

Harris, Anthony M.; Eayrs, Joshua O.; Lavie, Nilli – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2023
Highly-automated technologies are increasingly incorporated into existing systems, for instance in advanced car models. Although highly automated modes permit non-driving activities (e.g. internet browsing), drivers are expected to reassume control upon a 'take over' signal from the automation. To assess a person's readiness for takeover,…

Sadoski, Mark; Lawrence, Beth – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
This article reviews the embodied theoretical basis for the meaningful learning of abstract vocabulary and reviews selected educational programs that are theoretically based and have both success and promise for abstract vocabulary development. Abstract vocabulary is a mainstay of academic vocabulary, but its nature and educational development are…

Hsing, Hsiang-Wen; Bairaktarova, Diana; Lau, Nathan – Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Background: Spatial problem-solving is an essential skill for success in many engineering disciplines; thus, understanding the cognitive processes involved could help inform the design of training interventions for students trying to improve this skill. Prior research has yet to investigate the differences in cognitive processes between spatial…

Song, Ningyuan; Chen, Kejun; Jin, Xiufang; Zhao, Yuehua – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: In the digital environment, users' academic reading behaviour has changed, working with many articles simultaneously to search, filter, scan, link, annotate and analyse content fragments. The semantic enhancement environment has been widely set with semantic technologies to offer additional and handy support for users and thus…

Kahn, Joshua D.; Bullis, Michael D. – Leadership and Policy in Schools, 2023
In this integrative literature review, we synthesize the scant literature from the last 40 years of educational research on how school principals make difficult decisions. Reviewing 15 peer-reviewed articles, articles were coded for the methods used and their substantive findings. We review sampling techniques, the types of problems and methods…

Costley, Jamie; Lange, Christopher – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
The use of e-learning personalization allows learners to control their learning by choosing which content to process and how to process it. In order to explain the processes that occur when students use e-learning personalization, this study looks at how it interacts with two other variables: sequencing and fading, a scaffolding technique where…
