A Review of Event-Related Potential (ERP) Components Employed in Mental Arithmetic Processing Studies
نویسنده
چکیده
Arithmetic from the Greek word αιρθμόζ means number and is the oldest and simplest branch of mathematics with four basic operations addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Despite the apparent ease with which we decide mentally that 5 2 is 3, 4 x 6 is 24, 5 + 3 is 8, 24 ÷ 6 is 4 and so on, the literature attest to the complexity of mental processing involved in these seemingly elementary tasks [1,2]. Although mental arithmetic is a relatively circumscribed domain with explicit rules, facts, and principles, it still shares the processing complexity of other cognitive tasks and appears to use the same mental structures and memory systems [3].

Event-Related Potentials of Bottom-Up and Top-Down Processing of Emotional Faces
Introduction: Emotional stimulus is processed automatically in a bottom-up way or can be processed voluntarily in a top-down way. Imaging studies have indicated that bottom-up and top-down processing are mediated through different neural systems. However, temporal differentiation of top-down versus bottom-up processing of facial emotional expressions has remained to be clarified. The present st...

Introduction: One of the secondary consequences of burnout is a significant reduction in cognitive functions, the most obvious and important of which is the cognitive function of attention and control, which can play a vital role in efficiency and prevention of errors at work in many occupations. On the other hand, a neurological examination is needed to understand better the relationship betwe...
متن کاملNative-like Event-related Potentials in Processing the Second Language Syntax: Late Bilinguals
Background: The P600 brain wave reflects syntactic processes in response to different first language (L1) syntactic violations, syntactic repair, structural reanalysis, and specific semantic components. Unlike semantic processing, aspects of the second language (L2) syntactic processing differ from the L1, particularly at lower levels of proficiency. At higher L2 proficiency, syntactic violatio...
متن کاملEvaluation of self-esteem in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder based on event-related potential
Background: Self-esteem, the value we place on ourselves, has been associated with effects on health, and life satisfaction. Many studies reported that children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) suffer from low self-esteem has been associated with negative life outcomes. The present study investigated neural correlation of self-esteem in this group compared with typically dev...
متن کاملCognitive Development of Semantic Process and Mental Arithmetic in Childhood: An Event-Related Potential
The objective of this work is to investigate the cognitive development of semantic process and arithmetic calculation in childhood using event-related potential tools. Sixty children of three age groups (8-, 9and 11-year-old groups) participated in the experiment. Each group included 10 girls and 10 boys. Stimuli were presented in two separate lists: semantic priming list and mental arithmetic ...
