The University of Oxford's ABCD lab is looking for children aged 5.5-6.8 for an *online* study where they play fun number games to help us understand attention to numbers! To sign up, DM me or email [email protected] @GaiaScerif @AbiFiske @MissGrimesTeach @CoolenIlse

I had a nice chat about how complex counting is and how to make it fun for little ones. bbc.co.uk/tiny-happy-people/…?

When do children learn to count and how to help them

Have you ever wondered how toddlers learn to count? They start being able to group things from a very young age, but how do they start to understand numbers?

How does learning arithmetic changes brain activity in children? New data paper from the lab in which we ran a training study and measured changes in brain activity via fMRI. authors.elsevier.com/c/1eiLJ… with 50 days free access (1/n)

Thinking about your thinking: new brain imaging data from the lab on how kids monitor their academic performance (when they calculate) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… exciting work by @elienbellon and lovely collaboration with @NumCog

The neural basis of metacognitive monitoring during arithmetic in the developing brain

The current study is the first to demonstrate that brain activity during metacognitive (MC) monitoring, relative to the control task, increased in the left inferior frontal gyrus in 9- to 10-...

Does anyone have a behavioral n-back task programmed in psychopy (or something that I could adapt) that they love? So many studies... so few task details... !

Such a neat learning experience to meet @lienpeters5 and participate in a research study at @BMI_WesternU with my 10 year old. We loved seeing pictures of our brains and visiting the lab. @NumCog 🧠
