In psychology, small sample sizes are a frequent challenge—particularly when studying specific expert populations or using complex and cost-intensive methods like human scoring of creative answers—as they reduce statistical power, bias re...
This article presents and validates the Metacognitive Knowledge Intervention for Thinking (MKIT)—an educational framework designed to assess and develop domain-general metacognitive knowledge (MK) in children aged 5 to 9. Moving beyond traditio...
This study comprehensively analyses how AI tools scaffold and share metacognitive processes, thereby facilitating students’ learning in STEM classrooms through a mixed-method research synthesis combining bibliometric analysis and systematic rev...
The present study aimed to investigate individual differences in practice effects during progressive matrices based on Carpenter et al.’s taxonomy of abstract rules. To this end, data from a non-verbal reasoning test, the Abstract Reasoning Tes...
This study examined the associations among emotional intelligence (EI), grit, motivation, and second language (L2) learning performance, with particular attention to the mediating roles of grit and motivation. A sample of 801 Chinese university stude...

Dyslexia, a heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder, is characterized by persistent reading and spelling difficulties despite average intellectual potential. Although intellectual functioning in dyslexia is often described as average, emerging evid...
Previous studies suggested that people have stable conflict management styles which relate to their personality traits. However, recent research indicates that conflict management requires flexibility to switch between strategies and that this flexib...
In this preregistered multi-level meta-analysis, we aim to clarify the association of need for cognition (NFC) and typical intellectual engagement (TIE) with intelligence and executive functions. Multi-level models with robust variance estimation wer...
This study examined the relationships among shared leadership, organizational attractiveness, and organizational identification among teachers in Malatya, Türkiye. Using a relational design and structural equation modeling, the research explored...
To meet the growing demands for competency-based and personalized instruction in high school English reading, this study investigates a quantitative approach to modeling learning pathways and progressions. Traditional assessments often fail to captur...
Nonverbal tests assess cognitive ability in multicultural and multilingual children, but language-based instructions disadvantage non-proficient children. This is a growing concern worldwide due to the increasing number of multilingual classrooms. Th...
The relationship between cognitive abilities and students’ achievement in math is well documented. However, theoretical views on the chronological development of cognitive ability and math success remain controversial. Empirically, mutual effec...
The present study employed immersive virtual reality (iVR) technology to create a multimodal enriched learning environment and investigated the effects of pre-training on sleep-dependent consolidation of novel word learning. Native Chinese speakers w...
Emotional intelligence (EI) and its meta-cognitive counterpart, meta-emotional intelligence (MEI), have increasingly been recognized as key factors in helping students understand, regulate, and reflect on their emotional experiences. MEI expands upon...
Deep learning ability is critical for children’s development, yet little research has been conducted on preschool children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). This study investigated the deep learning ability of children with ASD in inclusive...
This review synthesizes research from cognitive psychology and English for Academic Purposes (EAP) to propose a new conceptual framework for understanding and fostering international student success. It argues that traditional EAP approaches, while e...
