Relation of life sciences students’ metacognitive monitoring to neural activity during biology error detection

Behrendt, Mei Grace; Clark, Carrie; Elliott, McKenna; Dauer, Joseph

2024 npj Science of Learning

doi:10.1038/s41539-024-00231-z pmid:38438416

Metacognitive calibration—the capacity to accurately self-assess one’s performance—forms the basis for error detection and self-monitoring and is a potential catalyst for conceptual change. Limited brain imaging research on authentic learning tasks implicates the lateral prefrontal and anterior...

A genome-wide association study of Chinese and English language phenotypes in Hong Kong Chinese children

Lin, Yu-Ping; Shi, Yujia; Zhang, Ruoyu; Xue, Xiao; Rao, Shitao; Yin, Liangying; Lui, Kelvin Fai Hong; PAN, Dora Jue; Maurer, Urs; Choy, Kwong-Wai; Paracchini, Silvia; McBride, Catherine; So, Hon-Cheong

Dyslexia and developmental language disorders are important learning difficulties. However, their genetic basis remains poorly understood, and most genetic studies were performed on Europeans. There is a lack of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on literacy phenotypes of Chinese as a native...

Evidence for a competitive relationship between executive functions and statistical learning

Pedraza, Felipe; Farkas, Bence C.; Vékony, Teodóra; Haesebaert, Frederic; Phelipon, Romane; Mihalecz, Imola; Janacsek, Karolina; Anders, Royce; Tillmann, Barbara; Plancher, Gaën; Németh, Dezső

2024 npj Science of Learning

The ability of the brain to extract patterns from the environment and predict future events, known as statistical learning, has been proposed to interact in a competitive manner with prefrontal lobe-related networks and their characteristic cognitive or executive functions. However, it remains...

Journal Article

Math items about real-world content lower test-scores of students from families with low socioeconomic status

Muskens, Marjolein; Frankenhuis, Willem E.; Borghans, Lex

2024 npj Science of Learning

doi:10.1038/s41539-024-00228-8 pmid:38491021

In many countries, standardized math tests are important for achieving academic success. Here, we examine whether content of items, the story that explains a mathematical question, biases performance of low-SES students. In a large-scale cohort study of Trends in International Mathematics and...

Neglecting students’ socio-emotional skills magnified learning losses during the pandemic

Lichand, Guilherme; Christen, Julien; Egeraat, Eppie Van

2024 npj Science of Learning

doi:10.1038/s41539-024-00235-9 pmid:38594315

Did the dramatic learning losses from remote learning in the context of COVID-19 stem at least partly from schools having overlooked students’ socio-emotional skills—such as their ability to self-regulate emotions, their mental models, motivation, and grit—during the emergency transition to...

A history of avoidance does not impact extinction learning in male rats

López-Moraga, Alba; Luyten, Laura; Beckers, Tom

2024 npj Science of Learning

doi:10.1038/s41539-024-00223-z pmid:38402221

Pervasive avoidance is one of the central symptoms of all anxiety-related disorders. In treatment, avoidance behaviors are typically discouraged because they are assumed to maintain anxiety. Yet, it is not clear if engaging in avoidance is always detrimental. In this study, we used a...

Utilizing epigenetics to study the shared nature of development and biological aging across the lifespan

Raffington, Laurel

2024 npj Science of Learning

doi:10.1038/s41539-024-00239-5 pmid:38509146

Recently, biological aging has been quantified in DNA-methylation samples of older adults and applied as so-called “methylation profile scores” (MPSs) in separate target samples, including samples of children. This nascent research indicates that (1) biological aging can be quantified early in...

Action video games normalise the phonemic awareness in pre-readers at risk for developmental dyslexia

Bertoni, Sara; Andreola, Chiara; Mascheretti, Sara; Franceschini, Sandro; Ruffino, Milena; Trezzi, Vittoria; Molteni, Massimo; Sali, Maria Enrica; Salandi, Antonio; Gaggi, Ombretta; Palazzi, Claudio; Gori, Simone; Facoetti, Andrea

2024 npj Science of Learning

doi:10.1038/s41539-024-00230-0 pmid:38514689

Action video-games (AVGs) could improve reading efficiency, enhancing not only visual attention but also phonological processing. Here we tested the AVG effects upon three consolidated language-based predictors of reading development in a sample of 79 pre-readers at-risk and 41 non-at-risk for...

Fostering inclusion in EEG measures of pediatric brain activity

Adams, Eryn J.; Scott, Molly E.; Amarante, Melina; Ramírez, Chanel A.; Rowley, Stephanie J.; Noble, Kimberly G.; Troller-Renfree, Sonya V.

2024 npj Science of Learning

doi:10.1038/s41539-024-00240-y pmid:38565857

The past two decades have seen a rapid increase in neuroscientific evidence being used to characterize how contextual, structural, and societal factors shape cognition and school readiness. Measures of functional brain activity are increasingly viewed as markers of child development and...

Interplay of socioeconomic status, cognition, and school performance in the ABCD sample

Langensee, Lara; Rumetshofer, Theodor; Mårtensson, Johan

2024 npj Science of Learning

doi:10.1038/s41539-024-00233-x pmid:38467686

Coming from a disadvantaged background can have negative impact on an individual’s educational trajectory. Some people however seem unaffected and cope well with the demands and challenges posed by school education, despite growing up in adverse conditions, a phenomenon termed academic...
