Modeling discrete and continuous entities with fractions and decimals.
When people use mathematics to model real-life situations, their use of mathematical expressions is often mediated by semantic alignment (Bassok, Chase, & Martin, 1998): The entities in a problem situation evoke semantic relations (e.g., tulips and vases evoke the functionally asymmetric "contain" relation), which people align with analogous mathematical relations (e.g., the noncommutative divi...
متن کاملUnderstanding the real value of fractions and decimals.
Understanding fractions and decimals is difficult because whole numbers are the most frequently and earliest experienced type of number, and learners must avoid conceptualizing fractions and decimals in terms of their whole-number components (the "whole-number bias"). We explored the understanding of fractions, decimals, two-digit integers, and money in adults and 10-year-olds using two number ...
متن کاملRational-number comparison across notation: Fractions, decimals, and whole numbers.
Although fractions, decimals, and whole numbers can be used to represent the same rational-number values, it is unclear whether adults conceive of these rational-number magnitudes as lying along the same ordered mental continuum. In the current study, we investigated whether adults' processing of rational-number magnitudes in fraction, decimal, and whole-number notation show systematic ratio-de...

متن کاملCognitive Inhibition and Working Memory in Obese and Normal Women
Background: The increasing incidence of overweight or obesity is a significant health problem. Hence, this study aims to investigate attention inhibition and memory function in obese and normal women. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted from 2017 to 2018 in Ahvaz. A sample of 200 women referred to sports clubs was selected by the convenience sampling method. The tools ...
