Numerical cognition research, explained
3 open-access numerical cognition studies, each with a flashcard deck and a quiz.
- How Genetics and Dopamine Affect Math Skills in Children
Children with a gene variant that leads to higher dopamine levels in the prefrontal cortex performed better on both symbolic and non-symbolic math tasks.
- Can We Do Number Research Online?
Online browser experiments can reliably measure fine differences in human reaction times for numerical processing tasks, replicating classic laboratory findings.
- How Walking in Circles Affects Math Performance
Walking clockwise helps people perform addition tasks more quickly, but this spatial boost to calculation speed is only seen in men.
