The development of a vaccine marks a breakthrough in the fight against infectious diseases. However, to eradicate highly infectious diseases globally, the immunization of large parts of the population is needed. Otherwise, diseases, such as polio, measles, or more recently COVID-19, will repeatedly flare-up, with…

'Allen Drew Nelson' 'Cynthia Borja'] Problem-solving skills are highly valued in modern society and are often touted as core elements of school mission statements, desirable traits for job applicants, and as some of the most complex thinking that the brain is capable of executing. While learning to problem-solve is a…

This article proposes an interconnected framework, Ways of thinking in STEM-based Problem Solving, which addresses cognitive processes that facilitate learning, problem solving, and interdisciplinary concept development. The framework comprises critical thinking, incorporating critical mathematical modelling and…

Procedural knowledge space theory (PKST) was recently proposed by Stefanutti (British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, 72(2) 185-218, [39]) for the assessment of human problem-solving skills. In PKST, the problem space formally represents how a family of problems can be solved and the knowledge space…

This article aims to show that there is an alternative way to explain human action with respect to the bottlenecks of the psychology of decision making. The empirical study of human behaviour from mid-20th century to date has mainly developed by looking at a normative model of decision making. In particular Subjective…

Children exhibit remarkable variability in their mathematical problem-solving abilities, yet the cognitive, metacognitive and affective mechanisms underlying these individual differences remain poorly understood. We developed a novel Bayesian model of arithmetic problem-solving (BMAPS) to uncover the latent processes…

As an important system in the national defense and military information construction, the command, control, communication, and intelligence (C3I) system urgently needs to establish an adaptive process to deal with the dynamic operating environment and changeable task requirements to ensure the long-term effective and…

Adaptive learning systems increasingly employ pedagogical agents (PAs) to enhance students’ engagement and learning outcomes, yet little is known about how motivational PAs influence students’ conceptual understanding and strategic choice-making. This study compared 49 school students (at 9th and 10th grade) using an…

In the last 25 years, a new foundational perspective has emerged in the cognitive sciences under the title of embodied cognition. The core of embodied cognition can be expressed by the general hypothesis that cognitive processes are fundamentally rooted in the morphological traits and sensorimotor and affective systems…

'Jenna Landy'] Criterion-referenced testing is usually applied to the assessment of achievement. In this article, we suggest how it can also be applied to the assessment of adaptive intelligence, that is, intelligence as adaptation to the environment. In the era of the Anthropocene, we argue that adaptive intelligence…

Background Mental process is a cornerstone of success in the rapid sports industry, where players must navigate high-pressure, dynamic environments. Cognitive flexibility is essential for adaptability and effective problem-solving, yet its relationship with negative psychological traits remains underexplored. This…

'Loek Nieuwenhuis' 'Jan van Tartwijk' 'Wietske Kuijer-Siebelink'] Professionals will increasingly be confronted with new insights and changes. This raises questions as to what kind of expertise professionals need, and how development of this expertise can be influenced within the contexts of both education and work.…

Globalization, technological advances, economic and geopolitical shocks, pandemics, and any number of novel or unanticipated events have one thing in common: they represent change and require dynamic responses and adaptation from organizations, teams, and individuals. A critical resource for individuals to be adaptive…

Assessing executive functions in individuals with disorders or clinical conditions can be challenging, as they may lack the abilities needed for conventional test formats. The use of more personalized test versions, such as adaptive assessments, might be helpful in evaluating individuals with specific needs. This paper…

In tertiary science education, students are encouraged to engage in discipline specific thinking, to learn their chosen subject. The challenge for educators is engaging all students equitably, despite their educational backgrounds and depth of discipline specific knowledge. Personalising learning in the context of…

'José M. Pêgo' 'Gergo Pinter' 'Iain M. Robinson' 'Daniel Zahra'] Adaptive testing has a long but largely unrecognized history. The advent of computer-based testing has created new opportunities to incorporate adaptive testing into conventional programmes of study. Relatively recently software has been developed that…
