Brain‐Anatomy Differences in the Commission of Reversal Errors during Algebraic Word Problem Solving

An important line of research related to the resolution word problems is study cognitive processes involved when subjects translate into language algebra. One most common errors in problem-solving reversal error (RE), which occurs students reverse relationship between two variables translating equations from comparison problems. The aim this neuroeducational investigate brain anatomy differences groups, one group that commits RE and a second does not. Magnetic resonance images 37 normal healthy participants ages 18–25 years were acquired. Differences gray matter assessed using voxel-based morphometry analysis. Our results show has larger volume putamen, suggesting these have make greater effort solve
