Had a blast at the "Language, concepts, & mathematics" symposium chaired by @anne_lafay at MCLS! We discussed several avenues to study the role of semantics in word problem solving, from eye tracking to drawing analysis. Exciting to see the latest works in the field!

#MCLS24 was fantastic! My team presented new work on children's interpretations of 2x2 tables, adults' strategies for comparing improper fractions& mixed numbers, children's pattern learning, and links between early abacus training & adult math skills! Rui Meng @nicholas_vest

New paper: "How Teachers Make Connections among Ideas in Mathematics Instruction"--with Rui Meng, Rui Meng, Andrea Donovan Andrea Marquardt Donovan, Meixia Ding, & Amelia Yeo. Free access at this link for a few weeks: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jK39ErOABSrQ

🚨 PUBLICATION ALERT! 🚨 So happy that our article on cognitive flexibility has been published today in the Journal of Cognition @JCgntn: doi.org/10.5334/joc.403 (open access!) Can we foster cognitive flexibility if we don't know its nature?
