A metacognitive learner acts in a planful way, monitors their progress, flexibly adapts strategies, and reflects on learning. Unsurprisingly, approach to learning is an important predictor of children’s academic performance many attempts have been made promote metacognition young children. The current meta-analytic study evaluates the impact such interventions outcomes related self-regulated achievement typically developing pre- elementary school Structural, content-related, methodological...
The attentional spatial-numerical association of response codes (Att-SNARC) effect (Fischer, Castel, Dodd, & Pratt, 2003)—the finding that participants are quicker to detect left-side targets when the preceded by small numbers and right-side they large numbers—has been used as evidence for embodied number representations support strong claims about link between space (e.g., a mental line). We attempted replicate Experiment 2 Fischer et al. collecting data from 1,105 at 17 labs. Across...
Inhibitory control is a core function that allows us to resist interference from our surroundings and stop an ongoing action. To date, it not clear whether inhibitory single process or composed of different processes. Further, these processes are separate clustered in childhood under debate. In this study, we investigated the existence development two hypothesized component control-interference suppression response inhibition-using task event related potential components. Twenty 8-year-old...
The ability to select an appropriate motor response by resolving competition among alternative responses plays a major role in cognitive performance. fMRI studies suggest that the development of this skill is related maturation frontal cortex underlies improvement inhibition abilities. However, cannot characterize temporal properties and activation general. We studied time course competition. To end, we used lateralized readiness potential (LRP), ERP measure, for tracking correct incorrect...
The presence of task-irrelevant sound disrupts short-term memory for serial information. Recent studies found that enhanced perceptual task-encoding load (static visual noise added to target items) reduces the disruptive effect an auditory deviant but does not affect task-specific interference by changing-state sound, indicating deviation may be more susceptible attentional control. This study aimed further specify role control in shielding against different types distraction, examining...
*This is a preprint and has been accepted for publication by Cognitive Development* Children’s metacognitive monitoring typically considered as domain general skill that can be applied in different tasks situations. However, this assumption lacks empirical evidence few studies tested whether children’s accuracy of judgments well their behaviours are consistent across tasks. It also not clear if children who provide more accurate show frequent behaviours. In the current research study 53...
*This manuscript is not yet published* Developing the ability to focus on relevant information and ignore irrelevant crucial for navigating an ever-changing environment. This skill, cognitive control, can be studied using conflict tasks in which a trial either align or compete (congruency). Performance these affected only by current trial’s congruency but also previous congruency. In adults, this adaptation has been reported occur between trials of same task different tasks. The goal study...
This study investigated the role of impaired inhibitory control as a factor underlying attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Children with ADHD and typically developing children completed an animal Stroop task while electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded. The lateralized readiness potential event-related brain potentials associated perceptual conflict processing were analyzed. slower to give correct responses irrespective congruency, prepare in incongruent condition. delay could...
Previous studies have provided evidence that introspection about dual-task performance in the psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm is severely limited. The present study investigated at other pole of multitasking continuum, namely task switching. In 2 experiments, participants estimates their response times (i.e., introspective RTs) after each trial modified versions alternating-runs and task-cuing paradigm, which included only tasks a trial. contrast to previously observed...
Individuals with severe antisocial behaviour often demonstrate abnormalities or difficulties in emotion processing. Antisocial typically onsets before adulthood and is reflected individuals at the biological level. We therefore conducted a brain-based study of processing juvenile offenders. Male adolescent offenders age-matched non-offenders passively viewed emotional images whilst their brain activity was recorded using electroencephalography. The early posterior negativity (EPN) late...
Accounting for how the human mind represents internal and external world is a crucial feature of many theories cognition. Central to this question distinction between modal as opposed amodal representational formats. It has often been assumed that one but not both these two types representations underlies processing in specific domains cognition (e.g., perception, mental imagery, language). However, paper we suggest formats play major role most cognitive domains. We believe comprehensive...
This exploratory study used mixed methods to investigate young people's preferences in the delivery of mental health education and possible age gender differences.Information was gathered about three secondary schools. Nine pupil focus groups were carried out identify key themes which then further developed administered through questionnaires a larger sample 773 pupils.Gender differences found who should deliver education, what, when, where how this be delivered.Mental reflect needs people....
Randomized response techniques (RRTs) are applied to reduce biases in self-report surveys on sensitive research questions (e.g., socially undesirable characteristics). However, there is evidence that they cannot completely eliminate self-protecting strategies. To address this problem, RRTs specifically designed measure the extent of such Here we assessed recently devised unrelated question model—cheating extension (UQMC) a preregistered online survey intimate partner violence (IPV)...
