Association of Domain-Specific Knowledge and Analytical Ability with Insight Problem Solving in Mathematics

International Journal of Pedagogies and Learning, 2009
In this study, the author investigated how analytical mathematical ability and domain-specific mathematical knowledge were associated with insight problem solving in mathematics. Knowledge and analytical subtests of the Test of Three-Mathematical Minds and nine insight problems were used to measure participants' mathematical knowledge, analytical ...

A Non-domain Specific Spatial Ability Test for Gamers Using Drawing and a Mental Rotation Task

2015
This chapter describes a study of gamers (defined as persons who play 2D or 3D games for more than 1 hr a week) and non-gamers (defined as those who play 2D or 3D games for less than 1 hr a week/month) and their ability to draw what they see. Participants completed a drawing task, a series of spatial cognition tests, and reported on their gaming habits.

Differences in General Cognitive Abilities and Domain-Specific Skills of Higher- and Lower-Achieving Students in Stoichiometry

Journal of Chemical Education, 2014
This paper reports a comparison of a group of higher- and lower-achieving undergraduate chemistry students, 17 in total, as separated on their ability in stoichiometry. This exploratory study of 17 students investigated parallels and differences in the students’ general and domain-specific cognitive abilities.

Domain-specific identity, epistemic regulation, and intellectual ability as predictors of belief-biased reasoning: A dual-process perspective

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2005
To explore the hypothesis that domain-specific identity development predicts reasoning biases, adolescents and young adults completed measures of domain-general and domain-specific identity, epistemic regulation, and intellectual ability and evaluated arguments that either supported or threatened their occupational goals. Biases were defined as the use

A Longitudinal Study of the Domain-Specificity of Ability and Effort Attributions in African American Students

2017
Students’ causal attributions about the reasons underlying their academic successes and failures influence their academic motivation and subsequent achievement. We investigated whether students’ attributions vary across academic subjects, and whether such domain-generality or specificity changes with development.

Understanding how genetic and environmental information shape perceptions of domain-specific abilities.

Introduction: Implicit beliefs regarding abilities’ development (e.g., STEM-related abilities) have important implications in people's perceptions (e.g., influencing how people perceive the likelihood of a person pursuing a STEM career). Such beliefs may be genetic (abilities are innate and unchangeable), environmental (abilities can be modified and ...
