Group Design

8.9K
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...

Hindsight Biases

Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?

Inductive Reasoning00:59

Inductive Reasoning

60.4K
Inductive reasoning is a form of logical thinking that uses related observations to arrive at a general conclusion. It is uncertain and operates in degrees to which the conclusions are credible. As such, inductive arguments can be weak or strong, rather than valid or invalid, and conclusions can be used to formulate testable, falsifiable hypotheses.
Inductive reasoning is common in descriptive science. A life scientist makes observations and records them. This data can be qualitative or...

Reason and Intuition

6.4K
The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the...

Cause and Effect01:53

Cause and Effect

10.9K
While variables are sometimes correlated because one does cause the other, it could also be that some other factor, a confounding variable, is actually causing the systematic movement in our variables of interest. For instance, as sales in ice cream increase, so does the overall rate of crime. Is it possible that indulging in your favorite flavor of ice cream could send you on a crime spree? Or, after committing crime do you think you might decide to treat yourself to a cone?

Deductive Reasoning01:16

Deductive Reasoning

55.2K
Deductive reasoning, or deduction, is the type of logic used in hypothesis-based science. In deductive reasoning, the pattern of thinking moves in the opposite direction as compared to inductive reasoning, which means that it uses a general principle or law to predict specific results. From those general principles, a scientist can deduce and predict the specific results that would be valid as long as the general principles are valid.
For example, a researcher can deduce specific predictions...

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Educational Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology

Background:

  • Inference is crucial for reading comprehension.
  • Understanding how inferential behavior changes across different text genres is important for educational interventions.
  • Previous research has not fully explored genre-specific changes in inferential behavior, particularly in students with reading disabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine changes in inferential behavior while reading different genres (expository vs. narrative).
  • To compare inferential behavior between students with reading disabilities (RDs) and students without RDs.
  • To investigate if inferential behavior changes over the course of reading within a genre.

Main Methods:

  • Quantified inferential behavior (attempts and correct inferences) in 28 students with RDs and 44 students without RDs.
  • Measured inference rates during reading of expository and narrative texts.
  • Analyzed changes in inference rates during early versus late stages of reading for each genre.

Main Results:

  • Inferential behavior change is genre-dependent.
  • During expository text reading, neither group showed significant changes in inference making.
  • During narrative text reading, both groups increased inference attempts; only students without RDs significantly increased correct inferences.

Conclusions:

  • Reading narrative texts elicits different inferential patterns compared to expository texts.
  • Students without reading disabilities demonstrate a greater ability to improve correct inference rates during narrative reading.
  • Findings have implications for designing targeted reading programs to enhance comprehension skills across genres for diverse learners.
