The present study investigated whether and how a musical rhythm entrains listener's visual attention. To this end, participants were presented with pictures of faces houses indicated picture orientation was upright or inverted. Participants performed task in silence playing the background. In latter condition, could occur off-beat on rhythmically implied, silent beat. Pictures without responded to more slowly than on-beat. This effect comparable for houses. Together these results indicate...

Testing (having students recall material) and worked examples study a completed problem) are both recommended as effective methods for improving learning.The two strategies rely on different underlying cognitive processes thus may strengthen types of learning in ways.Across three experiments, we examine the efficacy retrieval practice goals identify factors that determine when each strategy is more effective.The optimal depends kind knowledge being learned (stable facts vs. flexible...

The present study investigates the relation between resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) of cytoarchitectonically defined subdivisions parietal cortex at end 1st grade and arithmetic performance 2nd grade. Results revealed a dissociable pattern relations rsFC competence among intraparietal sulcus (IPS) angular gyrus (AG). right hemisphere IPS contralateral positively correlated with competence. In contrast, left hIP1 medial temporal lobe, AG superior frontal gyrus, were negatively...

In this study, we have developed a webXR tool that helps students visualise 3D graphs from functions of two variables through the use simple, practical and cost-effective Google Cardboard for in classroom. Further, assessed Cardboard's usability as content delivery system mid-sized multivariable calculus classroom with about 40 other control group. We also assess if is better than PowerPoint slides, shown on flat screen computers, terms students' attitudes engagement towards teaching...

The subject of probability and statistics is easily dismissed by students as assemblages formulae to be rote-memorized. We propose here an integration simulation-based activities with certain mathematical paradoxes using patchwork assessment first-year undergraduates, such that they can better appreciate the real-world context statistics. proposed examples alongside various facilitation skills for instructor are discussed. also provide original spreadsheet simulation program in Excel Visual...

In this study, we investigate the attitudes of students towards an immersive educational instruction method used to augment in-person biology laboratories. Specifically, employ Oculus Quest 2 in a mid-sized classroom setting conduct virtual heart dissection instructional class using Virtual Reality (VR). We engaged with 23 from Singaporean secondary school gather insights into their experiences and perspectives. The focus study is twofold: firstly, assess potential VR technology,...

Debate continues on whether encoding of symbolic number is grounded in nonsymbolic numerical magnitudes. Nevertheless, fluency perceiving both formats, and translating between them, predicts math skills across the life span. Therefore, this study asked if numbers share cortical activation patterns formats tasks, neural response to math-related behaviors. We analyzed using 7 Tesla functional magnetic resonance imaging a sample 39 healthy adults. Discrimination was successful numerosities 2,...

A region in the posterior inferior temporal gyrus (pITG) is thought to be specialized for processing Arabic numerals, but fMRI studies that compared passive viewing of numerals other character types (e.g., letters and novel characters) have not found evidence numeral preference pITG. However, recent showed engagement pITG modulated by attention task contexts, suggesting paradigms may ill-suited examining specialization It possible, however, even if strengths responses different category are...

Multivariable calculus is a subject undertaken by engineering students as core module at the freshman level. One of intended learning outcomes (ILOs) in multivariable to gain an intuition for visualizing three-dimensional surfaces and deducing their properties. For visualize more complex concepts, virtual reality (VR) application has been created. Tapping on existing infrastructures, we investigate effectiveness visualization through VR usage vis-à-vis two-dimensional digital screen. We have...

Studies of brain activity during number processing suggest symbolic and nonsymbolic numerical stimuli (e.g., Arabic digits dot arrays) engage both shared distinct neural mechanisms. However, the extent to which format influences large-scale functional network organization is unknown. In this study, using 7 Tesla MRI, we adopted a neuroscience approach characterize whole-brain architecture supporting comparison in 33 adults. Results showed degree global modularity was similar for formats. The...

In this paper, we explore the use of opinion dynamics models to examine changes in opinions lifelong learning, and identify groups people for targeted intervention improve their reception learning. This method has a multitude potential applications related clustering segmentation. Singapore’s initiative SkillsFuture, serves as case study application technique. We first found positive correlation between how motivated are learn negative much know about SkillsFuture opportunities, with respect...

Lifelong learning is crucial for equipping the workforce to navigate a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world. Despite its importance, resistance enrolling in lifelong courses persists. This exploratory study examines exposure engagement with government-sponsored among two distinct groups: individuals who opt these those select alternative courses. We employed comparative statistical analysis identify primary factors influencing course awareness selection. Our findings...

Abstract A growing body of evidence suggests that in adults, there is a spatially consistent “inferior temporal numeral area” (ITNA) the occipitotemporal cortex appears to preferentially process Arabic digits relative non-numerical symbols and objects. However, very little known about why ITNA segregated from regions other orthographic stimuli such as letters, it across individuals. In present study, we used diffusion-weighted imaging functional magnetic resonance contrast structural...

This paper studies how the GeoGebra 3D Calculator with augmented reality (AR) serves as a tool for visualizing graphs from functions of two variables in mid-sized multivariable calculus class.We assessed this AR tool's usability content delivery system.In our study, 39 students group received instructions on using tool, while another 28 control worked exclusively PowerPoint slides.Statistical testing reveals that proves more effective than slides terms teaching and learning calculus.However,...

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) refer to negative between 0 – 18 years old. This period is developmentally sensitive environmental influences and ACEs increase the risk of somatic psychological dysfunction across lifespan. High global prevalence makes research into its neurobiological mechanisms paramount. Outcome resilience refers adaptive functioning post-ACEs, inferred by ability function within everyday environments. study outcome from in educational, social settings, neurocognitive...
