Mapping the hierarchies and the incoherence within a network system, including neural networks, genes, and even social networks, can help estimate the point at which the network becomes strongly connected.
Study offers promising insight into how technology can aid in early math skills and can be used to close gaps in early childhood learning.
People actually process numbers faster when they are displayed vertically, with the smaller number at the bottom and larger number at the top.
The brain naturally implements principles of calculus and integrated learned rules of life with sensory information to guide motor plans and actions.
A new mathematical model has the potential to accurately distinguish a misunderstanding from false information and lies.
A young child's counting skills are the single biggest predictor of their ability to participate in fair sharing behaviors. Prompting children to count improves their pro-social sharing behaviors, researchers say.
The strength of the connection between the hippocampus and the intraparietal sulcus predicts a child's ability to learn number sense and mathematics.
Using algebraic topography, researchers have created an algorithm that requires only a few examples to generate a large number of unique cells.
A child's ability to perform approximate calculations extends to true division. The findings may provide a basis for strategies for teaching mathematical concepts.
Some neurons become exclusively activated when performing addition, others become active when performing subtraction tasks.
In order to represent an exact quantity higher than four, people need to have words for those numbers.
A new mathematical equation predicts which individuals will have more happiness and increased brain activity for intrinsic rather than extrinsic rewards. The approach can be used to predict personal preferences based on mood and without asking the individual.
