Yunji Park; Yuan Zhang; Hyesang Chang; Vinod Menon – Developmental Science, 2024
Number sense is fundamental to the development of numerical problem-solving skills. In early childhood, children establish associations between non-symbolic (e.g., a set of dots) and symbolic (e.g., Arabic numerals) representations of quantity. The developmental estrangement theory proposes that the relationship between non-symbolic and symbolic…

Yang Fu; Xiaohui Yan; Jiaqi Mao; Haibin Su; Fan Cao – npj Science of Learning, 2024
Reading difficulty (RD) is associated with phonological deficits; however, it remains unknown whether the phonological deficits are different in children and adults with RD as reflected in foreign speech perception and production. In the current study, using functional Near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), we found less difference between Chinese…

Rüsseler, Jascha; Arendt, Denise; Münte, Thomas F.; Mohammadi, Bahram; Boltzmann, Melanie – Language Assessment Quarterly, 2021
Testing language abilities is common in the context of migration. It has been observed that approximately 6.2 million adults in Germany are low literate and that approximately 47% of this group does not have German as their L1. Similar findings have been reported for other modern Western societies with compulsory schooling and a well-developed…

Nienke van Atteveldt; Maaike Vandermosten; Wouter Weeda; Milene Bonte – npj Science of Learning, 2021
Capturing developmental and learning-induced brain dynamics is extremely challenging as changes occur interactively across multiple levels and emerging functions. Different levels include the (social) environment, cognitive and behavioral levels, structural and functional brain changes, and genetics, while functions include domains such as math,…

Billeci, Lucia; Callara, Alejandro Luis; Guiducci, Letizia; Prosperi, Margherita; Morales, Maria Aurora; Calderoni, Sara; Muratori, Filippo; Santocchi, Elisa – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Previous studies suggest that autism spectrum disorders are characterized by alterations in the microbiota-gut-brain axis. Probiotics may modify the composition and the functionality of the gut microbiota of autism spectrum disorder individuals, with possible cascading effects on brain function. In this study, we analyzed possible brain…

Prentki, Tim – Research in Drama Education, 2023
This essay proposes that it is time to redesign educational curricula to take account of recent discoveries in the neuroscience of the human brain. The identification of mirror neurons has drawn attention to the importance of empathy as a determiner of action and their function is replicated in communication between actors, characters, and…

Jung, Rex E.; Hunter, Dan R. – Creativity Research Journal, 2023
Psychologist J. P. Guildford issued a challenge to study creativity nearly 70 years ago. How well have we done and what might the next steps be in our endeavors to understand creativity? The field of creativity research has examined the internal thinking process of creativity, largely through measures of divergent thinking and remote associates.…

Yu, Yuhua; Oh, Yongtaek; Kounios, John; Beeman, Mark – Creativity Research Journal, 2023
To solve a new problem, people spontaneously engage multiple cognitive processes. Previous work has identified a diverse set of oscillatory components critical at different stages of creative problem solving. In this project, we use hidden state modeling to untangle the roles of oscillation processes over time as people solve puzzles. Building on…

O.; Pennell, Craig E.; Newbury, Dianne F.; Stein, John; Talcott, Joel B.; Bishop, Dorothy V. M.; Paracchini, Silvia – Child Development, 2023
Handedness has been studied for association with language-related disorders because of its link with language hemispheric dominance. No clear pattern has emerged, possibly because of small samples, publication bias, and heterogeneous criteria across studies. Non-right-handedness (NRH) frequency was assessed in N = 2503 cases with reading and/or…

Haigh, Sarah M.; Van Key, Laura; Brosseau, Pat; Eack, Shaun M.; Leitman, David I.; Salisbury, Dean F.; Behrmann, Marlene – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Sensory abnormalities are characteristic of autism and schizophrenia. In autism, greater trial-to-trial variability (TTV) in sensory neural responses suggest that the system is more unstable. However, these findings have only been identified in the amplitude and not in the timing of neural responses, and have not been fully explored in…

Zazil-Ha Baruch – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This study acknowledges the potential contribution of Mexican highly-skilled immigrants settled in the United States. Then, to better understand how the brain waste phenomenon (unemployment/underemployment) functions among these immigrants in the United States, by using the lens of neo-racism, Latina/o Critical Race Theory (LatCrit), and…

Goto, Jun-Ichi; Fujii, Satoshi; Fujiwara, Hiroki; Mikoshiba, Katsuhiko; Yamazaki, Yoshihiko – Learning & Memory, 2022
In hippocampal CA1 neurons of wild-type mice, a short tetanus (15 or 20 pulses at 100 Hz) or a standard tetanus (100 pulses at 100 Hz) to a naive input pathway induces long-term potentiation (LTP) of the responses. Low-frequency stimulation (LFS; 1000 pulses at 1 Hz) 60 min after the standard tetanus reverses LTP (depotentiation [DP]), while LFS…

da Silva, Thiago Rodrigues; Sohn, Jeferson Machado Batista; Andreatini, Roberto; Stern, Cristina Aparecida – Learning & Memory, 2020
Reconsolidation is a time-limited process under which reactivated memory content can be modified. Works focused on studying reconsolidation mainly restrict intervention to the moments immediately after reactivation and to recently acquired memories. However, the brain areas activated during memory retrieval depend on when it was acquired, and it…

Tieme W. P. Janssen; Nienke van Atteveldt – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2025
Background: Although past research demonstrated growth mindset interventions to improve school outcomes, effects were small. This may be due to the "theoretical" nature of psychosocial techniques (e.g., reading about brain plasticity), which may not be optimally convincing for students. Aims: To address this issue and improve…

Mary Helen Immordino-Yang – Phi Delta Kappan, 2025
Emotion is essential for learning, but brain evidence shows how not all emotional engagement is equivalent. New research by Mary Helen Immordino-Yang and the research team at the USC Center for Affective Neuroscience, Development, Learning, and Education finds that adolescents' dispositions toward emotionally engaged "transcendent…
