Can we identify the brain mechanisms during multiplication task solving predicting the development of positive math attitudes over time? James Booth and I addressed this exciting question in this paper just published in Child Development! Check it out! doi.org/10.1111/cdev.1…

A post-doctoral position is open in the Brain Development Laboratory focusing on the neural basis of language delay in preschoolers. Please send letter of interest, resume, and contact information for three references to James R. Booth at [email protected] by May 15th.

Nice paper indeed! I found interesting the parietal activation for retrieval as well.

New paper out! In this paper, Jérôme Prado James Booth and I review the most recent literature showing how subtraction and multiplication tap into different neurocognitive mechanisms and their role in explaining longitudinal gains. Check it out! authors.elsevier.com/a/1fyat8MqMiiu…

We have had a large number of people offer to become reviewers for Imaging Neuroscience - so we now have a short web form to register yourself as a reviewer - we'll get back in touch shortly - many thanks! Please see the journal website: imaging-neuroscience.org

Ev (like in 'evidence', not Eve) Fedorenko 🇺🇦 My previous work with James Booth plotted the overlapping of individualized top activated voxels during a phonological awareness task. Visual inspectation seems to show that the overlapping in STG increases from 5 to 7 yo, whereas the overlapping for IFG increases from 7 to 9.

Together with V. Prpic, L. Lugli, and M. Murgia we are co-editing this special issue on numerical cognition in Psychological Research. Spread the word! MCLStrainee link.springer.com/collections/bb…

Interesting fMRI paper reporting null findings in comparing children with vs. without dyscalculia. I found that the authors cited my tutorial paper about using Bayesian stuff in fMRI analysis bit.ly/2Q0SFj9 Bayesian can be a useful way to examine null findings directly.
