Huey, Holly; Jordan, Matthew; Hart, Yuval; Dillon, Moira R. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Humans appear to intuitively grasp definitions foundational to formal geometry, like definitions that describe points as infinitely small and lines as infinitely long. Nevertheless, previous studies exploring human's intuitive natural geometry have consistently focused on geometric principles in planar Euclidean contexts and thus may not…

Sevim Nuraydin; Johannes Stricker; Michael Schneider – Child Development, 2024
The number line estimation task is frequently used to measure children's numerical magnitude understanding. It is unclear whether the resulting straight, horizontal, left-to-right-oriented estimate patterns indicate task constraints or children's intuitive number--space mapping. Three- to six-year-old children (N = 72, M[subscript age] = 4.89, 56%…

Corbit, John; Dockrill, Mya; Hartlin, Stef; Moore, Chris – Developmental Science, 2023
There is mounting empirical evidence to suggest that adults are intuitively cooperative. When presented with a cooperative dilemma between self-maximizing and benefitting the common good, decisions made quickly are more likely to be cooperative, whereas slow decisions tend to favor self-interest. To investigate the ontogenetic origins of intuitive…

Hart, Yuval; Mahadevan, L.; Dillon, Moira R. – Cognitive Science, 2022
Euclidean geometry has formed the foundation of architecture, science, and technology for millennia, yet the development of human's intuitive reasoning about Euclidean geometry is not well understood. The present study explores the cognitive processes and representations that support the development of humans' intuitive reasoning about Euclidean…

Chaturvedi, Ramesh Kumar; Verma, Vishal; Mishra, Kushendra – Smart Learning Environments, 2022
The objective of this research paper is to check the difference between pre and post-session of the Brighter Minds based Cognitive Skill Training. The exploratory and descriptive research design is used in this study. In this investigation, the nine measurement variables are selected for the study such as memory, confidence, concentration,…
