Towards the determination of capabilities relevant for expert thinking [PDF]

open access: yesZbornik Instituta za pedagoška istraživanja, 2006
The paper starts from the assumption that expert thinking is a complex manner of thinking of higher order, comprising higher mental functions and complex capabilities based on deep structures and knowledge patterns.

Relationships between intrinsic functional connectivity, cognitive control, and reading achievement across development

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2020
There are vast individual differences in reading achievement between students. Besides structural and functional variability in domain-specific brain regions, these differences may partially be explained by the organization of domain-general functional ...

Differential Development of Children’s Understanding of the Cardinality of Small Numbers and Zero

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2018
Counting and the understanding of cardinality are important steps in children’s numerical development. Recent studies have indicated that language and visuospatial abilities play an important role in the development of children’s cardinal knowledge of ...

TMS over the pre-SMA enhances semantic cognition via remote network effects on task-based activity and connectivity

open access: yesBrain Stimulation, 2023
Background: The continuous decline of executive abilities with age is mirrored by increased neural activity of domain-general networks during task processing.

Predicting first-grade mathematics achievement: The contributions of domain-general cognitive abilities, nonverbal number sense, and early number competence.

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2014
Early number competence, grounded in number-specific and domain-general cognitive abilities, is theorized to lay the foundation for later math achievement. Few longitudinal studies have tested a comprehensive model for early math development.

A true reflection of executive functioning or a representation of task-specific variance? Re-evaluating the unity/diversity framework

open access: yesActa Psychologica, 2023
The unity/diversity framework, originally published by Miyake et al. (2000) has become the most cited model of executive functioning. Consequently, when researchers operationalise executive function (EF) they often exclusively assess the three “core” EFs:

Metacognitive judgment and denial of deficit [PDF]

open access: yesJudgment and Decision Making, 2007
Patients suffering from the behavioral variant of Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD-b) often exaggerate their abilities. Are those errors in judgment limited to domains in which patients under-perform, or do FTD-b patients overestimate their abilities in ...

Visuo-Spatial Processes as a Domain-General Factor Impacting Numerical Development in Atypical Populations

open access: yesJournal of Numerical Cognition, 2017
In the past few years, the role of both domain-specific and domain-general factors on numerical development and mathematics achievement has been debated. In this paper, we focus on the role of visuo-spatial processes. We will more particularly review the

A first look at the role of domain-general cognitive and creative abilities in jazz improvisation. [PDF]

open access: yesPsychomusicology: Music, Mind, and Brain, 2013
The present study explored the associations among several cognitive and creative abilities and expert ratings of jazz improvisational quality. Ten male undergraduate jazz students (8 performance majors, 2 education majors; 5 winds, 3 strings, 1 piano, and 1 drum) performed a video-recorded improvisation with a trio and completed measures of divergent ...

The Cognitive Underpinnings of Multiply-Constrained Problem Solving

open access: yesJournal of Intelligence, 2021
Individuals encounter problems daily wherein varying numbers of constraints require delimitation of memory to target goal-satisfying information. Multiply-constrained problems, such as the compound remote associates, are commonly used to study this type ...
