Human infants' learning of social structures: the case of dominance hierarchy.

Psychological science

Mascaro O, Csibra G.
PMID: 24220623
Psychol Sci. 2014 Jan;25(1):250-5. doi: 10.1177/0956797613500509. Epub 2013 Nov 12.

We tested 15-month-olds' capacity to represent social-dominance hierarchies with more than two agents. Our results showed that infants found it harder to memorize dominance relations that were presented in an order that hindered the incremental formation of a single...

Student learning: what has instruction got to do with it?.

Annual review of psychology

Lee HS, Anderson JR.
PMID: 22804771
Annu Rev Psychol. 2013;64:445-69. doi: 10.1146/annurev-psych-113011-143833. Epub 2012 Jul 12.

A seemingly unending controversy in the field of instruction science concerns how much instructional guidance needs to be provided in a learning environment. At the one extreme lies the claim that it is important for students to explore and...

Spatial visualization ability and laparoscopic skills in novice learners: evaluating stereoscopic versus monoscopic visualizations.

Anatomical sciences education

Roach VA, Mistry MR, Wilson TD.
PMID: 24136843
Anat Sci Educ. 2014 Jul-Aug;7(4):295-301. doi: 10.1002/ase.1412. Epub 2013 Oct 17.

Elevated spatial visualization ability (Vz) is thought to influence surgical skill acquisition and performance. Current research suggests that stereo visualization technology and its association with skill performance may confer perceptual advantages. This is of particular interest in laparoscopic skill...

A free-choice premium in the basal ganglia.

Trends in cognitive sciences

Niv Y, Langdon A, Radulescu A.
PMID: 25282675
Trends Cogn Sci. 2015 Jan;19(1):4-5. doi: 10.1016/j.tics.2014.09.005. Epub 2014 Oct 02.

Apparently, the act of free choice confers value: when selecting between an item that you had previously chosen and an identical item that you had been forced to take, the former is often preferred. What could be the neural...

How learning style and personality type can affect performance.

The Health care supervisor

Huston JL, Huston TL.
PMID: 10142541
Health Care Superv. 1995 Jun;13(4):38-45.

Many factors can influence the performance of allied health professionals in the academic arena and working environment. This study looked at how learning style and personality type influenced the performance of medical transcription students in both routine and creative...

Understanding arithmetic concepts: The role of domain-specific and domain-general skills.

PloS one

Gilmore C, Clayton S, Cragg L, McKeaveney C, Simms V, Johnson S.
PMID: 30252852
PLoS One. 2018 Sep 25;13(9):e0201724. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0201724. eCollection 2018.

A large body of research has identified cognitive skills associated with overall mathematics achievement, focusing primarily on identifying associates of procedural skills. Conceptual understanding, however, has received less attention, despite its importance for the development of mathematics proficiency. Consequently,...

Learning science as a potential new source of understanding and improvement for continuing education and continuing professional development.

Medical teacher

Van Hoof TJ, Doyle TJ.
PMID: 29334306
Med Teach. 2018 Sep;40(9):880-885. doi: 10.1080/0142159X.2018.1425546. Epub 2018 Jan 15.

Learning science is an emerging interdisciplinary field that offers educators key insights about what happens in the brain when learning occurs. In addition to explanations about the learning process, which includes memory and involves different parts of the brain,...

Children's success at detecting circular explanations and their interest in future learning.

Psychonomic bulletin & review

Mills CM, Danovitch JH, Rowles SP, Campbell IL.
PMID: 28176292
Psychon Bull Rev. 2017 Oct;24(5):1465-1477. doi: 10.3758/s13423-016-1195-2.

These studies explore elementary-school-aged children's ability to evaluate circular explanations and whether they respond to receiving weak explanations by expressing interest in additional learning. In the first study, 6-, 8-, and 10-year-olds (n = 53) heard why questions about...

Sufficiency and Necessity Assumptions in Causal Structure Induction.

Cognitive science

Mayrhofer R, Waldmann MR.
PMID: 26522238
Cogn Sci. 2016 Nov;40(8):2137-2150. doi: 10.1111/cogs.12318. Epub 2015 Nov 02.

Research on human causal induction has shown that people have general prior assumptions about causal strength and about how causes interact with the background. We propose that these prior assumptions about the parameters of causal systems do not only...

Emotional Objectivity: Neural Representations of Emotions and Their Interaction with Cognition.

Annual review of psychology

Todd RM, Miskovic V, Chikazoe J, Anderson AK.
PMID: 31610131
Annu Rev Psychol. 2020 Jan 04;71:25-48. doi: 10.1146/annurev-psych-010419-051044. Epub 2019 Oct 14.

Recent advances in our understanding of information states in the human brain have opened a new window into the brain's representation of emotion. While emotion was once thought to constitute a separate domain from cognition, current evidence suggests that...
