Williams et al. (2006) found that increased imageability of cue words during an autobiographical memory task increased specificity of autobiographical memory (ABM) and improved subsequent social problem-solving (SPS). This study explored whether imagery during SPS improved SPS skill, perceived SPS ability, and the specificity of ABMs retrieved in the process of SPS in dysphoric students. Additi...

In this paper we propose an approach to skill acquisition which is based on a technique for inductive program synthesis developed in the domain of automatic programming. This approach enables us to model skill acquisition as generalization on three levels: In a rst step, learning by doing is performed by generalizing over problem states which were explored when solving a given problem. This pro...

This paper describes a psychometrically-based approach to the measurement of collaborative problem solving skills, by mining and classifying behavioral data both in real-time and in post-game analyses. The data were collected from a sample of middle school children who interacted with a game-like, online simulation of collaborative problem solving tasks. In this simulation, a user is required t...

Community-driven, collaborative approaches to health promotion have the potential to enhance skills among community members and, in turn, increase community capacity. This study uses data from an evaluation of the California Healthy Cities and Communities (CHCC) Program to examine whether, and how, community problem-solving and collaboration skills are improved among coalition members and local...

The ability of conjecturing thinking skill is very important in the industrial era 4.0. Conjecturing skills are to make strong guesses or predictions on problem solving. This also strongly related generalizing from a specific truth broad truth. Therefore this study, Research-Based Learning model which integrated with STEM approach (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) will be applied ...

Although problem solving is a highly valued skill, the processes involved are rarely taught in our undergraduate biology classes. An essential component skill of monitoring and reflection during problem solving is work checking, a process used by experts while solving problems to determine if their solution is achieving the goal. The results of work checking may reveal errors or inconsistencies...
