The current study aimed to examine the language learning strategy use of Chinese EFL students in a British university and to explore the impacts of gender on the selection of these strategies. 102 postgraduate students from Newcastle University in the UK were investigated through the administration of Oxford’s (1989) SILL and 20 of them were also interviewed. Significant differences were discov...

Self-regulation of behavior is mediated by the frontal lobes and commonly disrupted after a traumatic brain injury. The rehabilitation field is only now beginning to understand self-regulation as a set of dynamic relationships between metacognitive beliefs and knowledge, ongoing self-monitoring or self-assessment during activities, and self-control (i.e., strategy decisions). This article provi...

Metacognitive skills have been commonly associated with preparation for future learning in deductive domains. Many researchers regarded strategy- and time-awareness as two metacognitive that address how when to use a problem-solving strategy, respectively. It was shown students who are both time-aware (StrTime) outperformed their nonStrTime peers across In this work, were trained on logic tutor...

Both metacognitive and associative models have been proposed to account for children’s strategy discovery and use. Models based on only metacognitive or only associative mechanisms cannot entirely account for the observed mix of variability and constraint revealed by recent microgenetic studies of children’s strategy change. We propose a new approach where metacognitive and associative mechanis...

objectives: the role of cognitive process for postural control was shown in dual task studies. however, there was no definite evidence how verbal instructions influence the allocation of attention to postural control. this study determined whether young and elderly adult are able to deliberately control the resource allocation when performing a sensorimotor and cognitive task simultaneously and...

Gaining insights into the learners’ individual characteristics such as beliefs about language learning and their relationship with learning strategies is essential for planning effective language instruction. Thus, the present study investigated the relationship between beliefs about language learning and learning strategy use in Iranian high school students. This study also compared the correl...

When skill acquisition involves a shift in strategy (such as from rule-based to retrieval-based processing), older adults typically shift later in practice than young adults do. We observed the shift from scanning-based to memory-based processing in a noun pair learning task. Young and older adults were trained in conditions in which the relationship between memory load and scanning load was ma...

the current study was after probing the would-be correlation between emotional intelligence (and its subcomponents), on the one hand, and metacognitive listening strategies used by academic efl learners, on the other. benefiting from 72 female and 40 male university students from urmia university, urmia azad university and salams azad university, the current study also strived to find the possi...

This article describes the development and validation of a new self-report instrument, the Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategies Inventory, which is designed to assess adolescent and adult readers’ metacognitive awareness and perceived use of reading strategies while reading academic or schoolrelated materials. There were 3 strategy subscales or factors: Global Reading Strategies, Probl...
