Summary: Most research on the creative process has focused on idea generation, and the prevalence and influence of many other creative subprocesses remain poorly understood. This study investigated the frequencies of different subprocesses and their associations with creativity-related personal characteristics and product creativity. The results suggest that anchoring, which involves monitoring and refining task-related goals and constraints, is particularly important throughout the creative process.

Summary: This study investigated the intention of Chinese students to engage in Internet plagiarism (IP) and analyzed the influence of gender, educational level, achievement goals, low self-control, acceptance, and plagiarism experience. The findings showed that male students had more IP experience than female students, and college students were more likely to have IP intentions than high school students.

Summary: Psycholinguistic research has mainly focused on verbal metaphors, but metaphors often occur in a multimodal format. A study compared verbal and multimodal metaphors and found that both types elicit similar N400 effects. However, visual metaphors take longer to process compared to verbal metaphors.

Summary: The majority of children's language learning experiences occur in inclusive early child care and education settings. However, there is a lack of evidence-based professional development programs to empower early childhood education providers in using language instruction practices in inclusive classrooms. This pilot study found that providers in the Early Achievements for Child Care Providers (EA-CP) program showed greater fidelity in implementing naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention (NDBI) strategies during shared book reading compared to those in the business-as-usual (BAU) condition. Additionally, toddlers with and without developmental delays in the EA-CP group exhibited greater vocabulary and communication gains. These findings have implications for research, practice, and policy.

Summary: This study examines the effectiveness of community-based early interventions for autistic children, particularly those from minoritized backgrounds. The findings suggest that providers had low fidelity to the intervention and the measurement tools used were not sensitive to change.

Summary: This study used a mixed-methods design to develop a comprehensive theory of change for a naturalistic developmental behavioral intervention (NDBI). The qualitative data from interviews were used to develop a causal model, and path analyses were conducted to test select paths of the model. However, the quantitative analyses did not support all of the hypothesized causal relationships.

Summary: This study investigates the manifestation of awareness of knowledge gaps (AKG) during the problem-solving phase of the educational approach known as problem-solving followed by instruction (PS-I). It quantitatively and qualitatively analyzes the cognitive and metacognitive processes of learners during this phase, as well as their judgements of knowledge structure in relation to AKG. The findings suggest that students mainly focus on problem-solving and rarely evaluate their thoughts or express awareness of knowledge gaps. The study discusses the relationships between judgements of knowledge structure and students' perception of their knowledge gaps, and proposes instructional strategies to promote specific learning behaviors.

Summary: This study examines the impact of grade retention on students' post-secondary schooling choices and finds that being retained significantly decreases the likelihood of higher education enrollment. Retainees are more likely to opt for a college of applied sciences instead of a university. Self-efficacy plays a mediating role in program choice, but not in higher education enrollment. The study does not find a moderating effect of school retention composition.

Summary: This study examines the impact of homicides near schools on the standardized test scores of students and finds that homicides occurring within 7 days of the test and within 500 m of the school lead to a decrease in test scores. It also suggests that even short-lived learning losses can accumulate to impair learning for substantial portions of the school year.

Summary: In the context of instrumental teaching, developing student autonomy is a major goal for teachers. This research examines the perspectives of teachers on student autonomy and highlights the unconscious pedagogical actions taken by teachers to develop autonomy. The study proposes a model that helps teachers understand and clarify the four key phases of the self-regulation process in order to foster student autonomy.

Summary: This article examines the use of transparent research practices in the field of psychological science, focusing on the 2021 biennial meeting of the Society for Research in Child Development. The findings indicate that the research presented in poster presentations is predominantly quantitative studies conducted by American researchers using samples from the Western hemisphere. Additionally, the sharing of data/materials, preregistrations, and replications is limited.

Summary: This study examines the complexity of self-regulated learning and academic challenges for adolescents using a self-report measure. The results indicate that the SRL-PSD instrument is reliable and valid in measuring adolescents' SRL practices and academic challenges, and there are significant correlations between different types of SRL practices and academic challenges. Additionally, SRL practices are positively associated with school engagement, while academic challenges are negatively associated with school engagement.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and secondary traumatic stress among school personnel using latent profile analysis. Four latent profiles of childhood experiences were identified. The study also explored the moderating effect of trauma-informed practice efficacy, but found no significant interaction. The findings suggest the need for targeted interventions to help reduce secondary traumatic stress among school personnel.

Summary: Newcomer immigrant adolescents in the United States are a vulnerable group facing multiple stressors, which put them at risk for social-emotional and academic problems. Schools play a crucial role in supporting these adolescents, but there is insufficient research addressing their needs. In this article, the authors discuss the challenges faced in conducting research with this population and propose solutions, aiming to promote further efforts in addressing the needs of newcomer immigrant adolescents in the United States.

Summary: This study examined the language and executive functions of female adolescents with high risk factors. Standardized assessments revealed that most participants had below-average language and writing skills, as well as challenges in executive functioning. However, their current disabilities did not match these profiles. Participants involved with the justice system had the greatest challenges in all areas.
