In this case study, we investigated the mathematics experiences of two women who participated in an afterschool girls‐only STEM club 30 years ago when they were in fifth and sixth grades.

ManyBabies 3: A Multi‐Lab Study of Infant Algebraic Rule Learning
ABSTRACT The ability to learn and apply rules lies at the heart of cognition. In a seminal study, Marcus et al. (1999) reported that 7‐month‐old infants learned abstract rules over syllable sequences and were able to generalize those rules to novel syllable sequences.
