Understanding Learning Strategy Use Through the Lens of Habit - Educational Psychology Review Students frequently rely on ineffective learning strategies instead of those that promote long-term retention. This is not simply a matter of lacking metacognitive knowledge. Research on…

The self-regulated learning literature must distinguish true self-regulation (i.e., inhibition, adaption) from internalized, habitual enactment. We don't want students self-regulating every moment during learning! This is a helpful discussion of habits re: SRL. #PsychSciSky #AcademicSky #EduSky

The dependence of children’s generalization on episodic memory varies with age and level of abstraction - Nature Communications Children’s ability to generalize from episodic memories varies by both age and the level of abstraction. Here, the authors show that lower level generalization increasingly depends on episodic memory with age, whereas higher level generalization shows no such relationship.

Thrilled to see this paper out! It's the culmination of a project begun in the depths of the pandemic with Sabrina Karjack and @zoengo.bsky.social . We continue our exploration of how children generalize when their episodic memory is not yet mature.

I've always wanted to teach an intro to (psychological) research methods based on this book. Ian Hacking is simply an excellent explainer and the book covers a lot of ground, though it's not an intro to philosophy of science.

A new paper is out in @edpsychjournal.bsky.social with @luisevk.bsky.social! In educational psychology, motivation theories have not really changed since I was a ph. D. student (20y ago) and same theories are still dominant. Do you find it strange? If so, read it!

In case you needed more evidence that social media may not be the thing we should be obsessing about when it comes to wellbeing…another meta-analysis of experimental data showing no link.

Excellent post on the lack of empirical support for stereotype threat, from someone deeply involved in the research.

Also, importantly, "stereotype threat isn't real" != "stereotypes are not threatening." These are very different claims, but the former is often taken to mean the latter.

We desperately need new ways to conceptualise social media's impact on the mind & brain. Formal computational modelling could be a way to do this. Georgia spent 2+ years of her PhD further developing this approach.

In this paper, we lay out ways in which instructors might be able to support students' use of effective, but difficult, learning strategies both in and out of the classroom and directions for future research.
