The effects of neonatal jaundice and respiratory complications on learning and habituation in 5- to 11-month-old infants

Article Abstract:

Two studies examined the impact of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and respiratory complications on the habituation performance and continency learning of 5- to 11-month-old infants. Findings revealed that subjects with low respiratory risk experienced increasing adverse effects for habituation and learning as the jaundice history became more severe. Those with high respiratory risk demonstrated a highly complicated pattern. A summative effect of neonatal jaundice and respiratory risk factors was observed only for the learning task.

The use of orthographic analogies in learning to read Chinese

Article Abstract:

Analogical reasoning develops early in life, and children are observed to use analogies spontaneously to learn in the classroom. Studies have been undertaken to look at Chinese children's use of orthographic analogies in learning to read Chinese, to determine whether they used orthographic analogies in learning the sound and meaning of unfamiliar Chinese characters. Bother first-graders and third-graders made phonological analogies by the phonetic and semantic analogies by the radical.

Computers for learning: psychological perspectives

Article Abstract:

Computers are continuously explored by psychologists to improve the major means of learning at all age levels and in all subject areas. Associationist, constructivist, and social-constructivist perspectives are adopted to address child learning and the special needs for instruction, construction and simulation, and collaboration into the wider social and institutional context within which learners encounter computers.
