Mathematical model incorporated several strategies to help flatten the COVID-19 curve, focusing on scarcity in hospital resources over two years. The models showed current physical distancing can help maintain healthcare capacity and reduce infections. The model also allowed for periodic economic and psychological breaks from social restrictions. Read More
Community actions taken to slow the spread of COVID-19 may help to contain the virus and stop the exponential growth of cases. Researchers say the viral spread in China occurred in a fractal pattern. When social distancing was implemented, viral spread slowed. With more communities adopting social distancing measures, the spread became smaller in each new area exposed. Read More
Combining advanced microscopy and mathematical modeling, researchers have discovered a pattern that governs the growth of neurons. Read More
When those around you are indecisive, it can have a big influence on your own choices. Read More
Brain training exercises do not help boost early math learning. However, core thinking skills, including memory and attention, are key skills that support early math learning. Read More
Visual processing problems in children have been linked to dyslexia, problems with motor skills, and difficulties in mathematics. Read More
Mathematical model describes the chemical reactions responsible for the formation of Alzheimer's-linked protein. Read More
Researchers have developed a new intervention program that promotes the learning of math to school-aged children. More than half the children who entered the ACE-ArithmEcole program were better able to solve complex math problems, compared to 29% who were not exposed to the new method. Read More
Children exposed to virtual interactive characters in educational games learned more quickly and were more accurate in math responses when playing a virtual game. Findings suggest a child's interaction with virtual characters could help improve the learning of basic early math skills. Read More
There is no gender disparity in how children learn and perform math tasks. Read More
Counting directs an infant's attention to numerical aspects of their environment, proving they recognize counting as numerically relevant years before acquiring the meaning of number words. Read More
