Trying to remember something now typically improves your ability it later. However, after watching a video of simulated bank robbery, participants who verbally described the robber were 25% worse at identifying in lineup than instead listed U.S. states and capitals—this has been termed “verbal overshadowing” effect (Schooler & Engstler-Schooler, 1990). More recent studies suggested that this might be substantially smaller first reported. Given uncertainty about size, influence finding...

The purpose of this study was to illustrate the relationship between self-efficacy, task value, goal orientations, metacognitive self-regulation, self-regulation and learning strategies investigate unique contribution each on variability in students' total scores 12 exams. Our revealed that task-value, elaboration are significantly positively correlated with scores. Path analysis demonstrated self-efficacy strongest predictor score predicted mastery goals, but negatively avoidant goals....

Introducción: La distinción entre metas de dominio y rendimiento ha sido el planteamiento teórico dominante a la hora estudiar orientación meta durante las últimas tres décadas. Las investigaciones recientes empiezan aportar evidencia que sean necesarias más distinciones. También se sugiere creencias los alumnos sobre naturaleza inteligencia inciden en clase éstos plantean. Método: A través del análisis factorial confirmatorio, este trabajo pretende incorporar teorías implícitas una medida...

Mathematical problem solving is a process involving metacognitive (e.g., judging progress), cognitive working memory), and affective math anxiety) factors. Recent research encourages researchers who study cognition to consider the role that interaction between metacognition anxiety plays in mathematical solving. Problem solvers can make many judgments during problem, ranging from global such as, "Do I care solve this problem?" minor cue-based "Is my current strategy successful making...

The goal of the current study was to replicate resent findings that suggest mind wandering is associated with impaired explicit learning but not implicit learning, and extend those finding by investigating whether under attentional load, not. We used a sequential task, specifically serial reaction task (SRT), determine if would interfere does require resources (implicit learning). Participants completed time while watching 13-minute video lecture. At end participants answered 10...

Abstract Previous researchers have argued that objects associated with a protagonist may be foregrounded, or held active, in memory. This study expanded on previous work by using an inconsistency paradigm to investigate the effects of association object accessibility. Readers experienced more processing difficulty when target sentence contradicted previously presented information about protagonist-associated than contradiction pertained protagonist-dissociated objects. However, results...

In 2 experiments, the authors investigated available but unattended information following working memory task demands. The experimental presented a set containing exemplars from conceptual categories. Following instructions to focus attention on only 1 category, priming of both categories was assessed with category comparisons exemplar pairs. Priming greatest for focused and (direct priming). also extended new (indirect priming) showed little decline over more than min intervening processes....

Mindfulness meditation involves focusing one's attention on the present moment in a non-judgmental way. Several recently published investigations have demonstrated that brief session of mindfulness meditation, practiced before higher-education course lecture, can improve performance quiz over lecture content given immediately following lecture. It is less clear how multiple lectures, impacts quizzes time as well cumulative exam all contents. The experiment compared group to an active control...

This study investigated the relationship between executive functions and metacognition. Both constructs have been well-studied, but little research has focused on their connections. The goal of current investigation was to increase understanding metacognition by assessing relationships metacognitive monitoring accuracy three component (updating, inhibition, shifting) among college students. Metacognitive measured using a knowledge (KMA) test. components functions, updating, shifting were...
