Understanding students’ historical understanding is a complex and challenging endeavour, for history teachers as well as for researchers from diverse fields. Since historical situations contain interpersonal and social issues that happened in the past, not only history educators are interested in how students understand them.
The book focuses on theoretically important relationships among determinants of young children's cognitive development: Working memory, executive function, and conceptual understanding of the mental domain.
Living at the beginning of the 21st century requires being numerate, because numerical abilities are not only essential for life prospects of individuals but also for economic interests of post-industrial knowledge societies. Thus, numerical development is at the core of both individual as well as societal interests. There is the notion that we are already born with a very basic ability to deal with small numerosities. Yet, this often called “number sense” seems to be very restricted, approximate, and driven by perceptual constraints. During our numerical development in formal (e.g., school) but also informal contexts (e.g., family, street) we acquire culturally developed abstract symbol...
In this handbook, the world's leading researchers answer fundamental questions about dyslexia and dyscalculia based on authoritative reviews of the scientific literature. It provides an overview from the basic science foundations to best practice in schooling and educational policy, covering research topics ranging from genes, environments, and cognition to prevention, intervention and educational practice. With clear explanations of scientific concepts, research methods, statistical models and technical terms within a cross-cultural perspective, this book will be a go-to reference for researchers, instructors, students, policymakers, educators, teachers, therapists, psychologists, physicians and those affected by learning difficulties.
Based on decades of established research findings in cognitive and developmental psychology, this volume explores and integrates the leading scientific advances into infancy and brain-memory linkages as well as autobiographical and strategic memory. In addition, given that the predominantly classic research on memory development has recently been complemented by more cutting-edge applied research (e.g., eyewitness memory, memory development in educational contexts) in recent years, this volume also provides in-depth and up-to-date coverage of these emerging areas of study.
Die Vermittlung von Lernstrategien gilt als wichtiges Bildungsziel und relevanter Bildungsauftrag der Grundschule. Erfolgreiche Lernstrategien bei Schulerinnen und Schulern bilden letztlich die Grundlage und Voraussetzung fur gelingende Lehr- und Lernprozesesse in den einzelnen Unterrichtsfachern. Das Buch liefert erstmalig eine Zusammenschau von theoretischen Konzepten und Forschungsergebnissen zur Entwicklung, Erkennung und Forderung von Lernstrategien bei Kindern im Grundschulalter. Dabei wird nicht nur ein Uberblick uber Befunde aus der padagogischen und psychologischen Lehr-Lernforschung geboten; ausfuhrlich wird auch auf die praktischen Implikationen fur die einzelnen Unterrichtsfacher und Lernfelder eingegangen.
Feature binding is the process whereby different features such as shape, colour, size, orientation, location, etc. are linked together to form a coherent representation of the object. It is a ubiquitous physiological sequence and an essential phase in information processing, for it provides the basis of mental representations, which in turn, are requisite for all cognitive functions. It is important to realize though, that binding is not an isolated process. There are myriad stimuli impinging on our senses at all times, vying to gain entry into our consciousness. Further, not only does sensory input emanate from a complex, dynamic environment, but it also enters a neural system that is alrea...
Die Motivationspsychologie behandelt ein weit gefachertes Themenspektrum. Es reicht von den biologischen Basisprozessen, der Emotions- und Kognitionspsychologie uber die Sozial- und Personlichkeitspsychologie bis hin zu Problemstellungen in klinischen und padagogischen Anwendungsfeldern. Die 4. Auflage des Lehrbuchs "Motivation" zeichnet diese Entwicklungslinien nach und setzt die erfolgreiche Strategie der ersten Auflagen fort, indem sich die Darstellung der Sachverhalte sowohl an Problemen und ihrer historischen Entfaltung als auch an inhaltlichen Themen (Hunger, Sexualitat, Neugier, Furcht, Aggression, Macht, Anschluss, Leistung) orientiert. Die Erganzung des Texts um methodische und anwendungsorientierte Schwerpunkte ist insbesondere fur Studierende der neuen Bachelor- und Master-Studiengange wichtig.
