Exploring how students think: a new method combining think-aloud and concept mapping protocols.

Medical education

Pottier P, Hardouin JB, Hodges BD, Pistorius MA, Connault J, Durant C, Clairand R, Sebille V, Barrier JH, Planchon B.
PMID: 20716103
Med Educ. 2010 Sep;44(9):926-935. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2923.2010.03748.x.

OBJECTIVES: A key element of medical competence is problem solving. Previous work has shown that doctors use inductive reasoning to progress from facts to hypotheses and deductive reasoning to move from hypotheses to the gathering of confirmatory information. No...

Episodic memory and future thinking during early childhood: Linking the past and future.

Developmental psychobiology

Cuevas K, Rajan V, Morasch KC, Bell MA.
PMID: 25864990
Dev Psychobiol. 2015 Jul;57(5):552-65. doi: 10.1002/dev.21307. Epub 2015 Apr 11.

Despite extensive examination of episodic memory and future thinking development, little is known about the concurrent emergence of these capacities during early childhood. In Experiment 1, 3-year-olds participated in an episodic memory hiding task ("what, when, where" [WWW] components)...

'If' and the problems of conditional reasoning.

Trends in cognitive sciences

Byrne RM, Johnson-Laird PN.
PMID: 19540792
Trends Cogn Sci. 2009 Jul;13(7):282-7. doi: 10.1016/j.tics.2009.04.003. Epub 2009 Jun 18.

'If' is a puzzle. No consensus has existed about its meaning for over two thousand years. Here, we show how the main psychological theories deal with the seven crucial problems that it raises. These competing explanations treat 'if' as...

The Invisible Hand: Toddlers Connect Probabilistic Events With Agentive Causes.

Cognitive science

Wu Y, Muentener P, Schulz LE.
PMID: 26452530
Cogn Sci. 2016 Nov;40(8):1854-1876. doi: 10.1111/cogs.12309. Epub 2015 Oct 09.

Children posit unobserved causes when events appear to occur spontaneously (e.g., Gelman & Gottfried, 1996). What about when events appear to occur probabilistically? Here toddlers (M = 20.1 months) saw arbitrary causal relationships (Cause A generated Effect A; Cause...

Problem solving flexibility across early development.

Journal of experimental child psychology

Hopper LM, Jacobson SL, Howard LH.
PMID: 32860967
J Exp Child Psychol. 2020 Dec;200:104966. doi: 10.1016/j.jecp.2020.104966. Epub 2020 Aug 26.

Cognitive flexibility allows individuals to adapt to novel situations. However, this ability appears to develop slowly over the first few years of life, mediated by task complexity and opacity. We used a physically simple novel task, previously tested with...

The Magic of Mechanism: Explanation-Based Instruction on Counterintuitive Concepts in Early Childhood.

Perspectives on psychological science : a journal of the Association for Psychological Science

Kelemen D.
PMID: 31017833
Perspect Psychol Sci. 2019 Jul;14(4):510-522. doi: 10.1177/1745691619827011. Epub 2019 Apr 24.

Common-sense intuitions can be useful guides in everyday life and problem solving. However, they can also impede formal science learning and provide the basis for robust scientific misconceptions. Addressing such misconceptions has generally been viewed as the province of...

Math problem-solving and cognition among emerging bilingual children at risk and not at risk for math difficulties.

Child neuropsychology : a journal on normal and abnormal development in childhood and adolescence

Swanson HL, Kong J, Petcu SD.
PMID: 31609166
Child Neuropsychol. 2020 May;26(4):489-517. doi: 10.1080/09297049.2019.1674268. Epub 2019 Oct 14.

Cognitive processes that underlie individual differences in mathematical problem-solution accuracy in elementary emerging bilingual children (English Learners) at risk and not at risk for math problem-solving difficulties (MD) were examined. A battery of tests was administered in both English...

Neurocomputational mechanisms underlying emotional awareness: Insights afforded by deep active inference and their potential clinical relevance.

Neuroscience and biobehavioral reviews

Smith R, Lane RD, Parr T, Friston KJ.
PMID: 31518636
Neurosci Biobehav Rev. 2019 Dec;107:473-491. doi: 10.1016/j.neubiorev.2019.09.002. Epub 2019 Sep 10.

Emotional awareness (EA) is recognized as clinically relevant to the vulnerability to, and maintenance of, psychiatric disorders. However, the neurocomputational processes that underwrite individual variations remain unclear. In this paper, we describe a deep (active) inference model that reproduces...

Touching the elephant: The search for fluid intelligence.

Applied neuropsychology. Child

Wasserman T, Wasserman LD.
PMID: 28489432
Appl Neuropsychol Child. 2017 Jul-Sep;6(3):228-236. doi: 10.1080/21622965.2017.1317489. Epub 2017 May 10.

Many constructs that we take for granted in modern neuropsychology, fluid intelligence among them, can best be explained by conceptionalizing them as a collection of task specific processes engaged in by an integrated recruited network involved in problem solving....

Word learning under infinite uncertainty.

Cognition

Blythe RA, Smith ADM, Smith K.
PMID: 26927884
Cognition. 2016 Jun;151:18-27. doi: 10.1016/j.cognition.2016.02.017. Epub 2016 Feb 27.

Language learners must learn the meanings of many thousands of words, despite those words occurring in complex environments in which infinitely many meanings might be inferred by the learner as a word's true meaning. This problem of infinite referential...

Reasoning, biases and dual processes: The lasting impact of Wason (1960).

Quarterly journal of experimental psychology (2006)

Evans JS.
PMID: 25158629
Q J Exp Psychol (Hove). 2016 Oct;69(10):2076-92. doi: 10.1080/17470218.2014.914547. Epub 2014 Aug 27.

Wason (1960) published a relatively short experimental paper, in which he introduced the 2-4-6 problem as a test of inductive reasoning. This paper became one of the most highly cited to be published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental...

Minimal groups increase young children's motivation and learning on group-relevant tasks.

Child development

Master A, Walton GM.
PMID: 23075286
Child Dev. 2013 Mar-Apr;84(2):737-51. doi: 10.1111/j.1467-8624.2012.01867.x. Epub 2012 Oct 17.

Three experiments (N = 130) used a minimal group manipulation to show that just perceived membership in a social group boosts young children's motivation for and learning from group-relevant tasks. In Experiment 1, 4-year-old children assigned to a minimal...
