Intelligence and negation biases on the Conditional Inference task
We examined a large set of conditional inference data compiled from several previous studies and asked three questions: How is normative performance related to intelligence? Does negative conclusion bias stem from Type 1 or Type...

Measuring the approximate number system
Recent theories in numerical cognition propose the existence of an approximate number system (ANS) that supports the representation and processing of quantity information without symbols. It has been claimed that this system is...
Achievement and behaviour in undergraduate mathematics
We investigated two factors that predict students' achievement and behaviour in undergraduate mathematics: gender and personality. We found that gender predicted students' achievement and behaviour when considered in isolation...

Non-verbal number acuity correlates with symbolic mathematics achievement
The process by which adults develop competence in symbolic mathematics tasks is poorly understood. Nonhuman animals, human infants, and human adults all form nonverbal representations of the approximate numerosity of arrays of...
Increasing cognitive inhibition with a difficult prior task
Dual-process theories posit two distinct types of cognitive processing: Type 1, which does not use working memory making it fast and automatic, and Type 2, which does use working memory making it slow and effortful. Mathematics...

People in pain make poorer decisions
Chronic pain affects 1 in 5 people and has been shown to disrupt attention. Here, we investigated whether pain disrupts everyday decision making. In study 1, 1322 participants completed 2 tasks online: a shopping-decisions...

The development of reasoning skills during compulsory 16 to 18 mathematics education
The belief that studying mathematics improves reasoning skills, known as the Theory of Formal Discipline (TFD), has been held since the time of Plato. Research evidence supports this idea, at least in the context of students who...

Measuring the approximate number system in children
Research has demonstrated that children and adults have an Approximate Number System (ANS) which allows individuals to represent and manipulate the representations of the approximate number of items within a set. It has been...

Individual differences in inhibitory control, not non-verbal number acuity, correlate with mathematics achievement
Camilla Gilmore, N F Attridge, Sarah Clayton, Lucy Cragg, Samantha Johnson, Neil Marlow, Victoria Simms, Matthew Inglis
Jun 13, 2013
Given the well-documented failings in mathematics education in many Western societies, there has been an increased interest in understanding the cognitive underpinnings of mathematical achievement. Recent research has proposed...
Implementing Social Media
Social media is an important avenue for information dissemination and public communication in emergency management. Through social media content analysis and in-depth interviews, this study explores how county level emergency...

Reasonable Disagreement and the Neutralist Dilemma
Clare Chambers
Jul 10, 2018
This paper starts by investigating the idea of reasonable disagreement. It then considers Matthew Kramer’s argument that there is no neutral solution available to the disagreement over abortion. The paper argues that Kramer’s...
