Walkington, Candace; Woods, Dawn; Nathan, Mitchell J.; Chelule, Geoffrey; Wang, Min – Grantee Submission, 2018
Gestures are associated with powerful forms of mathematical understanding. However, determining the causative role of gestures has been more elusive. In the present study, we inhibit students' gestures by restraining their hands, and examine how this impacts their problem-solving when presented with geometric conjectures to prove. We find no…

Doumas, Leonidas A. A.; Morrison, Robert G.; Richland, Lindsey Engle – Grantee Submission, 2018
Diagrams are powerful opportunities for grappling with and learning abstract relationships, for example learning the relations between elements in an ecosystem rather than simply memorizing the objects within the system. Further, what is crucial from any diagrammatic learning opportunity is the ability to use this relational knowledge in a new…

Ober, Teresa M.; Brooks, Patricia J.; Homer, Bruce Douglas – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2020
Previous meta-analyses highlight the role of executive functions (EF), encompassing working memory, task-switching, and inhibition, in reading comprehension, but have not demarcated its role in decoding, defined as use of orthographic patterns to access oral pronunciations. According to the dual-route model, decoding involves parallel activation…

Weismer, Susan Ellis; Kaushanskaya, Margarita; Larson, Caroline; Mathée, Janine; Bolt, Daniel – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: This article reviews research on executive function (EF) skills in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the relation between EF and language abilities. The current study assessed EF using nonverbal tasks of inhibition, shifting, and updating of working memory (WM) in school-age children with ASD. It also evaluated the…

Setiawan, Vincent; Chor, Tricia Jing Yi; Lai, Yee Qi; Wang, Gan; Yap, Wei Lok; Yow, W. Quin – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2018
This research aims to explore the transfer learning of cognitive control skills using mobile applications. We explored whether mobile application can serve as a viable platform in training interference control, specifically the color Stroop task. Mobile phone's advantage lies in its portability and its ability to reach many people. Forty…

Oppezzo, Marily Ann; Dohmen, Ilsa; Schwartz, Daniel L. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
It is often assumed when students fidget they are not on task. Two within-subject studies challenge this assumption by testing the effect of allowing fidgeting on three types of thinking: speeded mental math (Study 1), brainstorming and memory (Study 2). Study 1 showed that student's performance on speeded math was no different when performed in a…

Saltmarsh, David – Australian Association for Research in Education (NJ1), 2012
The purpose of this paper is to report on an assessment task designed to provoke pre-service teacher education students to recollect and share experiences of what enabled and frustrated their learning. The assumption underpinning the creation of this task was that: if teacher education students could, through reflection and discussion, recapture…

DiLalla, Lisabeth Fisher – 1991
A study of Kagan's peer play situation for measuring heritable influences on children's behavioral inhibition (that is, shyness) drew its data from the large, multimethod, multivariate MacArthur Longitudinal Twin Study. The MacArthur study examined behavioral inhibition across four ages and two situations, looking for possible sex differences and…

Tinsley, Virginia S. – 1982
The effectiveness of verbal strategies on children's performance of tasks requiring persistence was investigated among 36 male and female preschool children ranging in age from 4 years to 5 years, 5 months. Two tasks designed to measure persistence ability were sequentially presented to the children: one task required the child to drop wooden…

Royer, James M.; And Others – 1976
The question considered in this study is whether retroactive interference is influenced by a subject's prior knowledge of the material being studied. Two parallel passages of fictitious biographical information and an accompanying twenty-item short answer criterion test were developed. The fifteen subjects in the experimental group were told that…

Gibbons, Frederick X. – 1978
Contrary to expectations, self-awareness inhibited reactions to a salient norm of social responsibility in two experiments which tested the hypothesis that directing attention to the self would lead to an increase in helping behavior. The reason, apparently, was that self-awareness interfered with the empathy process. Concerned about themselves…

Kerr, Margaret; Warren, Teneke M. – 1997
This study examined empirical research on shyness, inhibition, and social withdrawal published in "Child Development,""Developmental Psychology," and "Development and Psychopathology" between 1990 and 1996, focusing on: (1) conceptual definitions; (2) operational definitions; (3) agreement between conceptual and…

Turner, Robert G. – 1983
Previous research has suggested that behavioral differences between shy and not shy persons may be explained by differences in inhibition rather than differences in interpersonal skills. To investigate the behavior of high and low social anxiety subjects in both ambiguous social situations and in explicitly structured ones, three studies using…

Halford, Graeme S.; And Others – 1987
A series of experiments, which used the primary memory paradigm of Wickens et al. (1981, 1985) with university students, adults, and 8- and 9-year-old children, found an increase in primary memory capacity with age. Primary memory differs from secondary memory in that the latter is susceptible to proactive interference, whereas the former is not.…

Scholmerich, Axel; And Others – 1993
This study investigated whether behavioral inhibition is best conceptualized as a continuous variable or as a distinct typology with two or more subcategories. The following data were gathered on 58 infants at 5, 7, 10, and 13 months of age; physiological functioning (cardiovascular activity and salivary cortisol); emotional expressivity in…
