Richard E. Mayer – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
The cognitive theory of multimedia learning (Mayer, 2021, 2022), which seeks to explain how people learn academic material from words and graphics, has developed over the past four decades. Although the name and graphical representation of the theory have evolved over the years, the core ideas have been constant--dual channels (i.e., humans have…

Alexander Skulmowski – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
Engaging learners in activities is an important instructional method. However, the learning-by-doing approach also poses some risks. By analyzing the differences between various types of learning activities, issues of activity-based learning are revealed and discussed. Activity-based learning can consist of relatively simple patterns of motor…

Andreas Lachner; Leonie Sibley; Salome Wagner – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
In educational research, there is the general trade-off that empirical evidence should be generalizable to be applicable across contexts; at the same time, empirical evidence should be as specific as possible to be localizable in subject-specific educational interventions to successfully transfer the empirical evidence to educational practice.…

Frank Reinhold; Timo Leuders; Katharina Loibl; Matthias Nückles; Maik Beege; Jan M. Boelmann – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
To explain successful subject matter learning with digital tools, the specification of mediating cognitive processes is crucial for any empirical investigation. We introduce a cognitive process framework for the mechanisms of learning with digital tools (CoDiL) that combines core ideas from the psychology of instruction…

Axel Grund; Stefan Fries; Matthias Nückles; Alexander Renkl; Julian Roelle – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
In the context of instructional design and self-regulated learning research, the notion of mental effort allocation, monitoring, and control has gained increasing attention. Bringing together a cognitive perspective, focusing on Cognitive Load Theory, and a motivational perspective, merging central accounts from Situated Expectancy Value Theory…

Patricia A. Alexander; P. Karen Murphy – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
In 2006, after receiving the Division 15 Career Award, Alexander delivered a keynote address entitled "Evolution of a Learning Theory: A Case Study." This presentation was a clarion call for greater respect for and attention to scientific speculation in educational psychology as a critical component in theory building. To build her case,…

Yael Sidi; Rakefet Ackerman – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
When faced with challenging thinking tasks accompanied by a feeling of uncertainty, people often prefer to opt out (e.g., replying "I don't know", seeking advice) over giving low-confidence responses. In professions with high-stakes decisions (e.g., judges, medical practitioners), opting out is generally seen as preferable to making…

Urhahne, Detlef; Wijnia, Lisette – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
Several major theories have been established in research on motivation in education to describe, explain, and predict the direction, initiation, intensity, and persistence of learning behaviors. The most commonly cited theories of academic motivation include expectancy-value theory, social cognitive theory, self-determination theory, interest…

Fiorella, Logan – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
How do learners make sense of what they are learning? In this article, I present a new framework of sense-making based on research investigating the benefits and boundaries of generative learning activities (GLAs). The generative sense-making framework distinguishes among three primary sense-making modes--explaining, visualizing, and…

The goals of this article are three-pronged. The first is to consider the perspectives and insights collectively offered by the four contributions to this special issue dealing with higher-order, critical, and critical-analytic thinking. The second is to build on the content of those contributions and on the literature from philosophy and…

Dinsmore, Daniel L.; Fryer, Luke K.; Dumas, Denis G. – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
The literature on cognitive processing and strategic processing is murky with regard to how these types of processing influence learning. One reason for this is that the frameworks used to investigate these relations have separately focused on different aspects related to cognitive processing with little integration between them. To address these…

Sadoski, Mark; Lawrence, Beth – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
This article reviews the embodied theoretical basis for the meaningful learning of abstract vocabulary and reviews selected educational programs that are theoretically based and have both success and promise for abstract vocabulary development. Abstract vocabulary is a mainstay of academic vocabulary, but its nature and educational development are…

Wang, Tingting; Lajoie, Susanne P. – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
Although cognitive load (CL) and self-regulated learning (SRL) have been widely recognized as two determinant factors of students' performance, the integration of these two factors is still in its infancy. To further specify why and how CL links with SRL, we first conducted an overview to describe the multiple dimensions of cognitive load (i.e.,…

Flanigan, Abraham E.; Brady, Anna C.; Dai, Yan; Ray, Emily – Educational Psychology Review, 2023
Undergraduate student misuse of mobile technology (e.g., smartphones, laptops, tablets) for non-class purposes (e.g., texting, scrolling social media, playing games) has become ubiquitous in college classrooms across the globe. In addition, research has suggested that these digital distractions can negatively impact learning and performance. The…

Academic procrastination is a prevalent and pernicious self-regulation failure, which affects students' academic performance, health, and well-being. We conducted a systematic review of the recent (i.e., 2018 and subsequent) literature on the efficacy of interventions designed to reduce academic procrastination in several relevant online…
