Abreu-Mendoza, Roberto A.; Pincus, Melanie; Chamorro, Yaira; Jolles, Dietsje; Matute, Esmeralda; Rosenberg-Lee, Miriam – Developmental Science, 2022
Mathematical cognition requires coordinated activity across multiple brain regions, leading to the emergence of resting-state functional connectivity as a method for studying the neural basis of differences in mathematical achievement. Hyper-connectivity of the intraparietal sulcus (IPS), a key locus of mathematical and numerical processing, has…

Mackey, Allyson P.; Hill, Susanna S.; Stone, Susan I.; Bunge, Silvia A. – Developmental Science, 2011
The goal of this study was to determine whether intensive training can ameliorate cognitive skills in children. Children aged 7 to 9 from low socioeconomic backgrounds participated in one of two cognitive training programs for 60 minutes/day and 2 days/week, for a total of 8 weeks. Both training programs consisted of commercially available…
