Innovative Cognitive Approaches to Learning and Assessment

Thu, April 9, 4:15 to 5:45pm PDT (4:15 to 5:45pm PDT), InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown, Floor: 5th Floor, Los Feliz

Session Type: Paper Session

Abstract

This session brings together innovative research at the intersection of cognition, learning, and assessment. Four papers explore how cognitive processes shape student learning behaviors, strategy use, and responses to educational interventions. Topics include the development of expert system models for evaluating open-ended assessment items, college students’ self-regulated learning in response to diagnostic feedback, cognitive mechanisms underlying tobacco use through executive function, and dynamic spatial strategy identification using eye-tracking and machine learning integrated with IRT modeling. Collectively, these studies highlight cutting-edge methods that move beyond traditional scoring to uncover the cognitive processes driving performance and decision-making. The session will foster dialogue on advancing assessment design, cognitive modeling, and evidence-based educational practices.
