Exploring Limbic Regions associated Motivation on Convergence and Mathematics Activity

This study aims to investigate the relations between limbic regions and motivation in convergence and mathematics learning. For this purpose, the magnetic resonance images of brain of 22 right-handed high school students were collected. The partial correlated subcortical regions between volume and motivation scores were left accumbens and right Pallidum. Among these regions, left accumbens was only significant region in regressive analysis on motivation score of convergence learning. These results show that learning motivation in convergence and mathematics was related to reward system as structural aspect. This results could improve understanding about learning motivation on convergence and mathematics.
