A multi-measure investigation of mind wandering, creativity, and attention
Navigating the Garden Path
Resolving misrepresentations is key when faced with ambiguous information. For example, problem-solvers may misrepresent the constraints of a problem, while readers may misrepresent parts of a sentence. This work investigates how a shared cognitive process might facilitate the restructuring of representations during complex tasks. Students from Mississippi State University participated in studies demonstrating that similar restructuring processes…
Learning by Invention
Learning by invention is an alternative approach to teaching statistics where students are tasked with attempting to solve a problem before being taught the canonical formula for solving it, often resulting in increased understanding of material compared with traditional instruction. The first study, conducted in a college statistics classroom with mixed-skill groups, extended previous work showing an advantage for learning-by-invention activitie…
What Are the Odds? A Practical Guide to Computing and Reporting Bayes Factors
The purpose of this paper is to provide an easy template for the inclusion of the Bayes factor in reporting experimental results, particularly as a recommendation for articles in the Journal of Problem Solving. The Bayes factor provides information with a similar purpose to the p-value – to allow the researcher to make statistical inferences from data provided by experiments. While the p-value is widely used, the Bayes factor provides several adv…
