BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Repetitive negative thinking (RNT) is common to multiple emotional disorders and occurs before, during, and following a stressor.

Different mechanisms may drive RNT at the...

Therefore, the process of video search may vary from one user to another depending on the users' individual characteristics, and the effectiveness of video learning may also vary across individuals. This stud...

ely perform complex cognitive tasks such as solving mathematics or reading comprehension problems. In this paper, we use an adaptive multiplayer perceptron model to categorize participants based on their metacognitive awareness and perceived use of reading strategies while reading. Eight hundred and sixty-five middle school students participated in the study. All participants completed a 30-ite...

The distinctiveness heuristic is a response mode in which participants expect to remember vivid details of an experience and make recognition decisions based on this metacognitive expectation.

The aim is to develop a system that helps students improve their ability to reflect upon, understand, and control their learning when engaging in a problem solving activity. The motivation for this research is that it is necessary to focus as much on ...

BACKGROUND Previous research has described the success of an intervention aimed at improving older adults' ability to regulate their learning. This metacognitive approach involves teaching older adults to allocate their study time more efficiently by testing themselves and restudying items that are less well learned. OBJECTIVE Although this type of memory intervention has shown promise, train...
