There are declines with age in speed of processing, working memory, inhibitory function, and long-term memory, as well as decreases in brain structure size and white matter integrity. In the face of these decreases, functional imaging studies have demonstrated, somewhat surprisingly, reliable increases in prefrontal activation. To account for these joint phenomena, we propose the scaffolding th...

Computer-based scaffolding assists students as they generate solutions to complex problems, goals, or tasks, helping increase and integrate their higher order skills in the process. However, despite decades of research on scaffolding in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education, no existing comprehensive meta-analysis has synthesized the results of these studies. This r...

Abstract There has been a little research on emotion, cognitive load, or learning performance for digital game-based (DGBL). However, there is still dearth of investigating the interactive effects scaffolding DGBL and style above three outcomes. Participants were 97 middle-aged elder adults from community college randomly assigned into groups. Taking prior knowledge as covariate, 3 × 2 two-way ...

Sound is inherently a temporal and sequential signal. Experience with sound therefore may help bootstrap - i.e., provide a kind of "scaffolding" for - the development of general cognitive abilities related to representing temporal or sequential patterns. Accordingly, the absence of sound early in development may result in disturbances to these sequencing skills. In support of this hypothesis we...

It is becoming increasingly easy to capture lifelong data about a person. This creates the potential for valuable new ways for people to self-monitor diverse aspects their lives. If people are to do this effectively, we need to ensure that relevant aspects of lifelong user models are available to the user, in a form that is meaningful. Beyond this, current research indicates that most people ne...
