However, the behavior-disordered seven year olds performance did not score higher than the four year olds on both measures. The behavior-disordered children performed significantly worse in the second-order false-belief task than the average developing seven year olds. This suggests that behavior disorder children have more difficulty with understanding the mental states of other people. The researchers…

constantly, motivating teachers not only to be aware of the many theories, but also forcing them to constant development and testing of emerging ones to improve the management of each classroom.

Harackiewicz (2015) examined utility-value interventions in three different studies to compare interventions that rely on information that is directly communicated with interventions that employed self-generated information. Previously, motivational interventions have used a variety of “self-persuasion techniques” and “directly communicated information” to promote positive attitudes toward school among school-aged children, according to Canning & Harackiewicz…

He admitted that he had no pity for the…

The activity itself involved five different real-life dialogues. For each, I gave either a positive or a negative response, dependent on the type of response as indicated. After having inferred the set circumstances, I reflected on how my answers were given in contrast to the rest of the class. As a result…
