  • combining shared control with variability over surface features effects on transfer test performance and Task Involvement
    Computers in Human Behavior, 2009
    Co-Authors: Gemma Corbalan, Liesbeth Kester, Jeroen J. G. Van Merriënboer
    Abstract:

    Positive effects of learner control decrease when learners do not perceive the control given to them, make suboptimal choices, or are cognitively overloaded by the amount of choice. This study proposes shared control (i.e., learners choose from a pre-selection of suitable Tasks) over highly variable Tasks to tackle these problems. Ninety-four students participated in a 2x2 factorial experiment with the factors control (system, shared) and variability of surface features (low, high). Results show superior effects on training performance, transfer test performance, and Task Involvement of shared control when learners can choose from pre-selected Tasks with surface features that are different from the surface features of previous Tasks.

Contemporary Educational Psychology, 33(4), 733-756.Complex skill acquisition by performing authentic learning Tasks is constrained by limited working memory capacity (Baddeley, 1992). To prevent cognitive overload, Task difficulty and support of each newly selected learning Task can be adapted to the learner’s competence level and perceived Task load, either by some external agent, the learner herself, or both. Health sciences students (N = 55) participated in a study using a 2x2 factorial design with the factors adaptation (present or absent) and control over Task selection (program control or shared control). As hypothesized, adaptation led to more efficient learning; that is, higher learning outcomes combined with less effort invested in performing the learning Tasks. Shared control over Task selection led to higher Task Involvement, that is, higher learning outcomes combined with more effort directly invested in learning. Adaptation also produced greater Task Involvement

  • Detecting Deception and Judge’s Involvement: Lower Task Involvement Leads to Better Lie Detection
    Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 2000
    Co-Authors: James A. Forrest, Robert S. Feldman
    Abstract:

    Videotaped samples of target individuals making honest or dishonest statements were shown to 66 male and female participants who judged each sample in terms of honesty. The participants were either highly involved in the judging Task or relatively uninvolved. It was assumed that highly involved participants would engage in central route processing and therefore attend more to the verbal message, whereas less-involved participants would engage in peripheral route processing and therefore attend more to the nonverbal behavior of the targets. Because nonverbal cues are most indicative of deception, it was hypothesized—and found—that low-Involvement participants would be more accurate at detecting deception than would high-Involvement participants. Furthermore, gender differences and support for a motivational impairment effect were found, in which lies told by people who were highly motivated to lie successfully were more easily detected.
