Information Processing Approach01:30

Information Processing Approach

189
The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

Cognitive Development During Adolescence

151
During adolescence, individuals experience significant cognitive development that enhances their understanding of others' emotions and thoughts, known as cognitive empathy. This period is marked by an increased ability to adapt to others' perspectives and a more nuanced understanding of others' mental states, a skill that is foundational for social problem-solving and conflict avoidance. The development of cognitive empathy relies heavily on the theory of mind — the...

Piaget's Stage 3 of Cognitive Development

706
During Piaget's concrete operational stage, from ages 7 to 11, children exhibit a marked increase in logical thinking skills, specifically in relation to tangible, real-world events. This stage is characterized by the development of several essential cognitive concepts, including conservation, reversibility, and classification, all of which support the child's evolving capacity for structured thought.

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition01:24

Revisionist Views of Adolescent and Adult Cognition

121
A revisionist approach to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has brought new insights that challenge and reinterpret his established ideas. Piaget proposed that the formal operational stage, emerging in adolescence, represents the culmination of cognitive maturity. During this stage, individuals are said to develop abstract thinking, engage in systematic problem-solving, and show a form of egocentrism, believing others are as preoccupied with their behavior as they are...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Brain activity in specific regions supports math attitudes in children. Memory retrieval for arithmetic facts may explain the development of positive attitudes toward math.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Math attitudes correlate with academic achievement.
  • The neural mechanisms underlying changes in math attitudes are not well understood.
  • Longitudinal studies are needed to explore the relationship between brain function and math attitude development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the neural correlates of math attitudes in children.
  • To examine how brain activity relates to math attitudes and their changes over time.
  • To identify brain regions supporting the development of positive math attitudes.

Main Methods:

  • Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to scan 51 children.
  • Children completed a multiplication task at two time points (ages 11 and 13).
  • Brain activity in the left middle to superior temporal gyri was analyzed in relation to math attitudes.

Main Results:

  • Brain clusters in the left middle to superior temporal gyri at age 11 were associated with math attitudes at that time.
  • These brain clusters also correlated with longitudinal improvements in math attitudes.
  • No significant association was found between changes in attitudes and changes in brain activity over time.

Conclusions:

  • Neural activity in specific temporal gyri regions at age 11 is linked to math attitudes and their improvement.
  • The findings suggest that the retrieval of arithmetic facts from memory plays a role in fostering positive math attitudes.
  • Future research should explore interventions targeting memory retrieval to enhance math attitudes.
