How Evolution Constrains Human Numerical Concepts
The types of cognitive and neural mechanisms available to children for making concepts depend on the problems their brains evolved to solve over the past millions of years. Comparative research on numerical cognition with humans and nonhuman primates has revealed a system for quantity representation that lays the foundation for quantitative development. Nonhuman primates in particular share man...
متن کاملHow working memory capacity constrains the learning of relational concepts
We investigated the way in which working memory (WM) constrains the learning of relational concepts – categories defined by the way objects are assigned to roles in the structure of an underlying relation, and not by objects’ intrinsic features. By applying to a large sample a novel test of concept learning as well as the battery of WM tasks, we found that WM is a strong predictor of the scores...
متن کاملHow Form Constrains Function in the Human Brain
In neural systems, form and function are intimately linked; the communication dynamics across networked areas depends on the organization and integrity of the connections between them (i.e., axons and tracts). With the growth of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and fiber tractography tools over the past decade, it has become possible to visualize the physical architecture of the human brain at ...
متن کاملHow intonation constrains pragmatic inference
In this paper, we present two experiments that investigate how intonation can constrain pragmatic inference. While prior research has shown that intonation can increase the likelihood of an inference being made, less is known about how it affects the mechanisms involved in processing of inferences. In the first experiment, listeners had more direct mouse paths towards target responses for stron...
متن کاملHow employment constrains participation in MOOCs?
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) changed the way continuous education is perceived. Employees willing to progress their careers can take high quality courses. Students can develop skills outside curriculum. Studies show that most of the MOOC users are pursuing or have received a university degree. Therefore it is beneficial to consider motives and constraints of this class of participants wh...
