Summary: This study investigates the differences in cognitive levels of processing when learning from interactive videos and how these differences are related to learning outcomes. The results suggest that students in the deep condition spent more time on key information and processed both details and key information in a deeper way, while students in the surface condition spent more time on details and factual knowledge and rehearsed them more. Students in the deep condition scored higher on the amount and coherence of information they recalled from the videos.

Summary: This paper focuses on the application of auto-regressive cross-lagged panel models in the analysis of longitudinal data. It highlights the issue of confounding between-person and within-person relations in common model implementations, and explains how trivial differences in model specification can lead to substantial differences in interpretation. The paper provides practical guidance and includes annotated model syntax and output using different software.

Summary: Among the various social and emotional learning interventions, mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have gained popularity for preadolescent children. This study reviewed 32 studies and conducted meta-analyses to examine the impact of MBIs on preadolescent children. The results suggest that MBIs have significant benefits in various areas, but the overall effect size is small. However, it remains unclear whether MBIs are as effective as traditional approaches in promoting healthy development and academic achievement for preadolescent children.

Summary: This study examined the developmental profiles of different leisure reading habits and their association with reading fluency and comprehension in 2525 Finnish students. Four profiles were identified: Comics readers, Online readers, Book readers and Nonreaders. Differences in leisure reading emerged early, with boys over-represented in Comics readers and Non-readers, while girls were over-represented in Online readers and Book readers. Book readers had the highest reading skills, although Comics readers were also above-average readers. Among Online readers, girls had above average skills while boys had below-average skills. Non-readers, especially boys, had the poorest reading skills. This study highlights the importance of early onset individual differences in leisure reading habits and their association with reading development.
