Kubit, Benjamin M.; Janata, Petr – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
Involuntary musical imagery (INMI; more commonly known as "earworms" or having a song "stuck in your head") is a common musical phenomenon and one of the most salient examples of spontaneous cognition. Despite the ubiquitous nature of INMI in the general population, functional roles of INMI remain to be fully established and…

Lewis, Katherine E.; Lynn, Dylan M. – Cognition and Instruction, 2018
In this article, we provide a novel view of mathematics learning disability (MLD) by studying a student with an MLD (Dylan) who had compensated so effectively that she was able to major in statistics. We push back on the dominant deficit model used in studies of MLD, and consider issues of access and compensation from a Vygotskian theoretical…

Bufford, Carolyn A.; Mettler, Everett; Geller, Emma H.; Kellman, Philip J. – Grantee Submission, 2014
Mathematics requires thinking but also pattern recognition. Recent research indicates that perceptual learning (PL) interventions facilitate discovery of structure and recognition of patterns in mathematical domains, as assessed by tests of mathematical competence. Here we sought direct evidence that a brief perceptual learning module (PLM)…
