Power promotes a broad motivational orientation associated with approach and action. Power also insulates its holder from punishment and other costs of mistakes. I hypothesize that these factors encourage powerful individuals to use...
Few studies have examined the impact of age on reactivity to concurrent think-aloud (TA) verbal reports. The aim of this project was to test whether older adults exhibit greater negative reactivity to concurrent verbal reports than...
The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between first grade student's self-regulation skills, literacy outcomes, and the time that students spent in non-instructional activities in the classroom. Students were...
The ability to accurately monitor and regulate one's cognitive performance is essential to success in a number of settings. What distinguishes between those who can accurately monitor their own performance and those who cannot?...
Explaining expert chess players' dramatically superior skill represents an outstanding unsolved theoretical problem for cognitive psychology. This review extends and re-evaluates the current state of theories on chess skill, highlighting...
