Summary of the third meeting of the Working Group on Symbolic Cognition in Advanced Mathematics

چکیده
Following two meetings as a discussion group in the previous international meetings, we moved forward to work within three specifically defined sub-groups formulating existing and future lines of inquiry with related data sets. We aimed to focus on the use of data, which ranged from qualitative think-aloud accounts to pre-post tests asking what is the role of data in our study. If there is a theory of symbolic cognition then what empirical evidence do we and can we collect to support and falsify our inquiry; in particular do symbols (one might even say higher-order symbols) evolve to assist learning and reduce cognitive load or are they an active part of a functional neuropsychological model (i.e. are mathematical signs more “symbolic” or representative of how particular parts of the brain operate).
