Does the relative frequency of exposure to mandatory and prohibitory signs influence the speed of drivers’ inferences
People from some geographical areas are more accustomed to seeing mandatory signs at T-Junctions, whereas in other regions, prohibitory signs are more common. The key question is whether the greater prevalence of one type of sign affects how people draw inferences. Previous studies have shown that, although both types of signs convey the same information, the inferences drawn from them differ. Furthermore, when individuals have sufficient time, t…
Delayed keyword generation improves secondary students’ metacomprehension of print and digital text / La generación diferida de palabras clave mejora la metacomprensión del texto impreso y digital de …
Meta-analytic research with undergraduate students reveals they tend to overestimate their text comprehension to a higher extent when they read texts in digital as opposed to printed format. This inaccurate metacomprehension of students’ own understanding could lead them to ineffective reading and studying decisions, such as early termination of a rather complex text. This study investigates the effectiveness of delayed keyword generation in impr…
Validation of the multidimensional reading habits instrument for primary school students / Validación del instrumento multidimensional de hábitos lectores para estudiantes de educación primaria
Children’s reading habits can contribute to the development of reading comprehension skills. Increased digitalization during the last years has introduced new reading practices. Accordingly, an adequate measurement is necessary to accurately examine the current reading habits of children for different purposes and across different media. Here we present the Multidimensional Reading Habits Instrument (MRHI), which is composed of two questionnaires…
Do New Forms of Reading Pay Off? A Meta-Analysis on the Relationship Between Leisure Digital Reading Habits and Text Comprehension
Previous research has evidenced a strong positive relationship between leisure print reading habits and reading comprehension across the lifespan. The rapid evolution of new forms of leisure digital reading could modify such a relationship. This meta-analysis extends previous research by analyzing the relationship between leisure digital reading habits and reading comprehension. We analyzed 40 effect sizes using multilevel analysis. Data involved…
How digital reading habits shape reading motivation and comprehension over time
Nowadays, children's reading habits extend beyond traditional printed texts, embracing new practices and forms through digital devices. The influence of such new digital reading habits on reading motivation and comprehension development remains largely underexplored. This study aimed to explore reciprocal causal paths between digital reading habits, reading comprehension and intrinsic reading motivation. To do so, we analyzed longitudinal data of…
Did screen reading steal children's focus? Longitudinal associations between reading habits, selective attention and text comprehension
Background The idea that screens ‘stole children's focus’ and that reading books, in contrast, stimulates selective attention is theoretically complex and has largely been ignored in empirical tests. Research has identified positive associations between reading habits and various dimensions of attention in children, but most research is restricted to book or print reading habits, with limited evidence for digital habits. Methods We tested the ass…

Bayesian Estimation of the Prevalence of Suicide Risk in Institutionalized Older People
The assessment of suicide risk in institutionalized older people has received less attention in comparison with those not institutionalized. The studies carried out show contradictory data on the prevalence of risk in this population group. The current work estimates the prevalence of suicide risk through a Bayesian analysis and studies the risk factors of this behavior in a group of 110 institutionalized older people. A prevalence of 38.4% is ob…
