Interventions and Approaches Being Used by Teachers to Support Student Self-Regulation in Mainstream Primary School Classrooms: A Scoping Review
No full textRecent systematic reviews and meta analyses have shown that there are many interventions, tools, programmes and approaches available to support students’ self-regulation and that these have an impact on students’ skills (Cipriano et al., 2023; Muir et al., 2023; Pandey et al., 2017). However, an initial search has not identified any scoping or systematic reviews, or meta-analyses, that explores which of the available interventions mainstream primary school teachers are using in practice and how they use them in the classroom. This scoping review aims to explore this gap in the literature. It will follow the nine stage framework outlined in chapter 11 of the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis (Peters et al., 2020).

Dataset for “A method for studying the contextual similarity of characters in Cyrillic, Devanagari, and Latin scripts and exploration of the effects of typeface design and expertise”
No full textA series of studies conducted to examine the perceived similarity that underlies the visual coherence in typefaces (fonts). Character similarity was studied in a range of common typefaces intended for continuous reading in Cyrillic, Devanagari, and Latin scripts. A new experimental approach was used to obtain data that would allow for enquiry of internal character representations in some detail to better understand character similarity relationships, particularly in the context of typeface design.

Interventions used to increase physical activity in children 8-12 years: A systematic review
No full textThis systematic review aims to summarize interventions used to increase adherence to physical activity among younger school-age children. The goal is to create a comprehensive overview of available interventions and present their reported effectiveness

Adaptation vs. Mitigation: Averting Disasters Individually or Collectively in Merit-Based and Luck-Based Worlds
No full textWhen a community faces a collective risk, some individuals may seek to first protect themselves before contributing to efforts to protect the wider community. In the context of global warming, for example, governments may put climate change adaptation before mitigation. The issue with this private approach is that it tends to be less economically efficient than solving shared problems as a group, while also undermining codependency and cooperation within the community. In this study we present participants with a collective risk problem in which they face the prospect of losing their endowment. They can avoid this outcome by solving the problem privately or as a group. We investigate whether individuals who are made richer or poorer (i.e., better able to protect themselves privately) as a result of merit or luck are more likely to solve the problem privately rather than as a group. We test our hypotheses with samples of university students based in the UK, Egypt, France, Japan, Italy, Germany, and the US
Motor Imagery ability in adults with neurological conditions compared to healthy individuals: A systematic review
No full textObjective: Growing evidence suggests effects of motor imagery interventions in neurorehabilitation. However, neurological impairment may be related to deficits in motor imagery ability. We summarized the evidence on differences across motor imagery ability components following Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Parkinson’s disease (PD), or Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
Data sources: Six databases were searched up to February 2024.
Review methods: Studies comparing adults with these conditions to healthy individuals were included. Two reviewers independently selected studies and assessed Risk of Bias. Qualitative analyses were applied. Outcomes were motor imagery generation, maintenance, and manipulation, assessed through questionnaires, mental chronometry, and mental rotation tasks.
Results: Fifty-two studies with low or moderate bias were included (Stroke: n=26; TBI: n=1; PD: n=14; MS: n=11). Qualitative analyses suggested possible differences in Stroke and MS for manipulation of MI, while for PD the evidence was contradictory. For imagery generation and maintenance, contradictory evidence for Stroke and MS (stronger towards a difference) was found, while for PD moderate evidence for a difference was found. For TBI, a limited number of studies impeded performing formal syntheses of the evidence.
Conclusion: Differences in specific motor imagery ability domains may be present in people with neurological conditions of different aetiologies. Clinicians should consider assessing all three components before applying motor imagery interventions
Evidence for imprecise guidance for color in real-world objects (Experiment 3)
No full textRecent research has shown that during a visual search task for colored objects, attentional processes were guided to distractor objects that were several degrees away in color from the target's color (Yu et al., 2022). In other words, coarser target templates were utilized to guide attentional processes. Evidence for imprecise target templates has not been examined in search for real-world objects as these experiments utilized simple colored circles. The purpose of this study is to determine whether coarser target templates are employed during a visual search task for real-world objects. More specifically, we found in a previous experiment that attention may enhance template-matching features more coarsely than initially predicted. However, this may be due to targets changing between each trial, preventing participants from forming a precise template to begin with. Previous research utilized a single colored circle as the target (Yu et al., 2022). Regardless, unlike simple colored circles, real-world objects contain many features and broader target representation may be necessary to effectively search for real-world object targets
