recommendations! Published in 2025 at "International Journal of Technology and Design Education"

DOI: 10.1007/s10798-024-09952-z

Abstract: Hands-on activities promote interest in engineering, but their use in primary education is under pressure due to doubts about their effect on learning. Based on the Challenge Point Framework, we hypothesized that an adaptive approach… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10956-020-09845-5

Abstract: This study explored the effects of prior knowledge and cueing on the learning (retention, transfer, and matching) and mental effort of learners who studied an instructional animation with accompanying narration about photosynthesis. A 4 × 2 between-subjects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11423-021-09974-7

Abstract: In-game learning supports aim to help students solve game levels (i.e., game-related supports), and connect to underlying content (i.e., content-related and hybrid supports). Students with different levels of prior knowledge may have different needs for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13369-017-2995-z

Abstract: Ensuring public safety and preventing accidents, such as stampedes, caused by crowd congestion, have become urgent problems to be solved. Conflicting, divergent movements in crowds are a main cause of crowd-related safety incidents and accidents.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s41237-024-00238-1

Abstract: This paper proposes two methods for causal additive models with unobserved variables (CAM-UV). CAM-UV assumes that the causal functions take the form of generalized additive models and that latent confounders are present. First, we propose… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of Memory and Language"

DOI: 10.1016/j.jml.2019.03.006

Abstract: Abstract Our experiences are encoded in relation to existing knowledge, and learning of new information is influenced by what has already been learned. Although learning is often an incremental process spanning multiple repetitions, the influences… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jvb.2017.09.001

Abstract: Abstract Decisions to reveal one's sexual orientation are assumed to be a volitional choice. Prior research has shown, however, that people often learn about the lesbian, gay, or bisexual (LGB) identities of others through indirect… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neucom.2020.10.026

Abstract: Abstract Exploiting prior/human knowledge is an effective way to enhance Bayesian models, especially in cases of sparse or noisy data, for which building an entirely new model is not always possible. There is a lack… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2021.10.013

Abstract: Impaired memory is a hallmark of prodromal Alzheimer's disease (AD). Prior knowledge associated with the memoranda improves memory in healthy individuals, but we ignore whether the same occurs in early AD. We used functional MRI… read more here.
