This protocol describes a surgical set-up for a permanent epicranial electrode socket and an implanted chest electrode in rodents. By placing a second electrode into the socket, different types of transcranial electrical brain stimulation can be delivered to the motor system in alert animals through the intact...

Algae are a highly heterogeneous group of microorganisms that have one common trait, namely the possession of photosynthetic pigments. In the environment, algae can cause problems for swimming pool owners by growing in the water. Algae can also cause problems in surface waters, such as lakes and reservoirs, due to algal blooms that release toxins. More recently, algae...

Quantitative assessment of prokaryotes can be onerous given their abundance, propensity for exponential proliferation, species diversity within a population, and specific physiological needs. Compounding this challenge, is the four-phase nature in which bacteria replicate (lag, log, stationary and death). The ability to accurately...

An Introduction to Developmental Genetics

Development is the complex process through which a single-celled embryo transforms into a multicellular organism. Developmental processes are guided by information encoded in an organism's DNA, and geneticists are trying to understand how this information leads to a fully formed organism.
This video reviews seminal research in the field of developmental biology, including the identification of specific genes that control various embryonic processes. An introduction to the major questions asked...

Surface soils are a heterogeneous mixture of inorganic and organic particles that combine together to form secondary aggregates. Within and between the aggregates are voids or pores that visually contain both air and water. These conditions create an ideal ecosystem for bacteria, so all soils contain vast populations of bacteria, usually over 1 million...

Introduction to Developmental Psychology

Developmental psychology explores the changes and continuities in human abilities throughout life, encompassing physical, cognitive, linguistic, and social dimensions. Human development is not restricted to growth, but includes aspects of decline, particularly in physical abilities as individuals age. Developmental psychologists seek to understand how people change as they age and how their mental and social skills evolve.Developmental MilestonesA key concept in developmental psychology is...

Summary

Alerting cues improved number enumeration for controls but not for adults with developmental dyscalculia (DD). This suggests DD involves both general and specific cognitive deficits impacting number sense.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology

Background:

  • Number enumeration abilities vary with quantity range, with subitizing (1-4 items) being rapid and counting (5-9 items) showing linear reaction time increases.
  • Subitizing was previously thought to be pre-attentive, but recent findings indicate attention engagement can facilitate it.
  • Individuals with developmental dyscalculia (DD) often exhibit a reduced subitizing range and impaired attentional systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if an alerting cue could expand the subitizing range in adults with developmental dyscalculia (DD) from 3 to 4 items.
  • To examine the effects of alerting cues on enumeration performance across different quantity ranges in both DD adults and controls.

Main Methods:

  • Participants (adults with DD and controls) performed enumeration tasks under conditions with and without an alerting cue.
  • Reaction times (RTs) and accuracy rates were measured across subitizing (1-4) and counting (5-9) ranges.
  • The study specifically analyzed the impact of the alerting cue on the subitizing range and overall enumeration efficiency.

Main Results:

  • For control participants, alerting cues enhanced accuracy and facilitated enumeration within the subitizing range.
  • Adults with DD showed enhanced RTs across all enumeration ranges due to the alerting cue, but their subitizing range did not increase.
  • Accuracy rates in the subitizing range for DD participants were not improved by the alerting cue.

Conclusions:

  • The findings suggest that number enumeration relies on both domain-general and domain-specific cognitive abilities.
  • The results indicate that while alerting cues can benefit general processing speed in DD, they do not remediate the core deficit in subitizing range.
  • Developmental dyscalculia appears to involve complex impairments extending beyond a simple deficit in attentional engagement.
