The relation of spatial skills, spatial memory span, and two anxiety types with statistics anxiety in European and North American University students

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background & Aims The present two studies investigated the role of spatial cognition in statistics anxiety. The hypothesis that spatial representations and/or visuospatial skills are related to the acquisition of statistics abilities which, when lacking or unused, generate statistics anxiety is examined.

Literacy: A cultural influence on functional left-right differences in the inferior parietal cortex [PDF]

, 2007
The current understanding of hemispheric interaction is limited. Functional hemispheric specialization is likely to depend on both genetic and environmental factors.

A resource model of phonological working memory [PDF]

, 2018
The classic Baddeley and Hitch (1974) model divides working memory into domain-specific subsystems and a shared, do- main-general central executive, which plays a role in allocating resources to items stored in the subsystems. The nature of this resource—in particular, its quantization (discrete vs.

Enjoyment and perceived teacher conflict shape early L2 English performance: A longitudinal study in primary school

British Journal of Educational Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Learning English as a second language (L2) is crucial in a globalized world. However, longitudinal evidence on how young learners' achievement emotions and perceived teacher–child relationship quality jointly shape L2 outcomes remains limited.

Distributional effects and individual differences in L2 morphology learning [PDF]

, 2016
Second language (L2) learning outcomes may depend on the structure of the input and learners’ cognitive abilities. This study tested whether less predictable input might facilitate learning and generalization of L2 morphology while evaluating ...

Working memory and phonological awareness in children with rolandic epilepsy

Universitas Psychologica, 2017
This study investigated how the difficulties in language in children with Rolandic Epilepsy (RE) could be related to alterations in their development of phonological awareness and/or working memory. We evaluated fourty-two children aged 6 to 13 years old.

How do gestural interactions support visuospatial cognition in STEM learning?

British Journal of Educational Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Existing literature shows that touchscreen devices can support learning of visuospatially rich STEM content. However, the mechanisms by which touchscreen devices support cognition in learning remains unclear. This study examined how gestural interactions afforded by touchscreen devices support visuospatial cognition in STEM learning by ...

Disentangling phonology from phonological short-term memory in Alzheimer’s disease phenotypes

Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy
Background Impaired phonological short-term memory is a core feature of the logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA), but it is not clear whether a core phonological processing deficit is also present. Methods We asked three questions: (i)

Bridging the Gap Between L1 and L2: Enhanced Emotional Vocabulary Through Elaborative Processing in Spanish‐Speaking English Language Learners

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Foreign languages are often learnt in formal and disembodied environments which may limit the emotional resonance of their vocabulary and their pragmatic usage in real‐life communication. In a context of English as a foreign language (EFL), this study examines whether elaborative processing as a teaching strategy leads to changes in the ...
