Social problem-solving attitudes and performance as a function of differences in trait and state worry.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Journal of behavior therapy and experimental psychiatry [J Behav Ther Exp Psychiatry] 2023 Mar; Vol. 78, pp. 101792. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Nov 23.
Abstract: Background and Objectives: This study investigated problem-solving attitudes and state-dependent, performance-based problem-solving abilities of individuals with high trait worry as compared to those low in trait worry. Secondary objectives involved in...
Can prior knowledge increase task complexity? - Cases in which higher prior knowledge leads to higher intrinsic cognitive load.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): The British journal of educational psychology [Br J Educ Psychol] 2023 Aug; Vol. 93 Suppl 2, pp. 305-317. Date of Electronic Publication: 2022 Nov 27.
Abstract: Background & Aims: Cognitive load theory assumes that the higher the learner's prior knowledge (i.e., the more expert the learner), the lower the intrinsic cognitive load (complexity) experienced for a given problem. While this is the case in many scen...
Protecting against mental impasses: Evidence of selective retrieval mitigating the impact of fixation in creative problem solving.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Cognition [Cognition] 2023 Oct; Vol. 239, pp. 105547. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Jul 07.
Abstract: A common issue in creative problem solving is the unintended fixation on strongly associated, yet inappropriate solutions. In two experiments, we investigated whether lowering their accessibility by means of selective retrieval can positively affect su...
An exercise in scientific problem-solving: Illustrating the utility of the principles of the Sydney Declaration.
Publication Type: Report
Source(s): Journal of forensic sciences [J Forensic Sci] 2023 Sep; Vol. 68 (5), pp. 1835-1842. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Jul 13.
Abstract: In forensic science, scientific problem-solving is characterized by the recognition of traces as part of iterative reasoning processes to assign meaning to those traces in order to interpret and reconstruct events. Through a set of fundamental principl...
Contextual risks, child problem-solving profiles, and socioemotional functioning: Testing the specialization hypothesis.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Development and psychopathology [Dev Psychopathol] 2023 Aug; Vol. 35 (3), pp. 1421-1433. Date of Electronic Publication: 2021 Dec 13.
Abstract: Guided by the evolutionary perspective and specialization hypothesis, this multi-method (behavioral observation, questionnaire) longitudinal study adopted a person-centered approach to explore children's problem-solving skills within different contexts...
The subjective amplitude of the diurnal rhythm matters - Chronobiological insights for neuroimaging studies.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Behavioural brain research [Behav Brain Res] 2023 Oct 02; Vol. 454, pp. 114640. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Aug 26.
Abstract: Multiple aspects of human psychophysiology, including mood and cognition, are subjected to diurnal rhythms. While the previous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have focused solely on the morningness-eveningness (ME) preference dichotomy, i.e. t...
Tracking informal fraction knowledge and its correlates across first grade.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Developmental psychology [Dev Psychol] 2023 Oct; Vol. 59 (10), pp. 1739-1756. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Aug 10.
Abstract: Young children have informal knowledge of fractions before learning about fraction symbols in school. In the current study, we followed 103 children in the Mid-Atlantic United States from the fall to the spring of first grade to characterize the develo...
Promoting spontaneous analogical transfer by idealizing target representations.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Memory & cognition [Mem Cognit] 2023 Oct; Vol. 51 (7), pp. 1497-1510. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Mar 21.
Abstract: Recent results demonstrate that inducing an abstract representation of target analogs at retrieval time aids access to analogous situations with mismatching surface features (i.e., the late abstraction principle). A limitation of current implementation...
Transitive inference and the testing effect: Retrieval practice impairs transitive inference.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Quarterly journal of experimental psychology (2006) [Q J Exp Psychol (Hove)] 2023 Oct; Vol. 76 (10), pp. 2356-2370. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Mar 01.
Abstract: There is substantial interest in the extent to which the testing effect (the finding that retrieval practice enhances memory) extends to more complex forms of learning, especially those entailing greater element interactivity. Transitive inference (TI)...
The development of simple addition problem solving in children: Reliance on automatized counting or memory retrieval depends on both expertise and problem size.
Publication Type: Academic Journal
Source(s): Journal of experimental child psychology [J Exp Child Psychol] 2023 Oct; Vol. 234, pp. 105710. Date of Electronic Publication: 2023 Jun 06.
Abstract: In an experiment, 98 children aged 8 to 9, 10 to 12, and 13 to 15 years solved addition problems with a sum up to 10. In another experiment, the same children solved the same calculations within a sign priming paradigm where half the additions were dis...
