Cognitive Testing Practices for Basic Military Training in the Nordic Countries: A Scoping Review

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Nordic countries have a long tradition of using general mental ability (GMA) tests as part of their military conscription process, a practice that began in the mid‐20th century. These Nordic tests were developed with a dual purpose—to filter out individuals unfit for military service and to rank individuals' GMA for military roles—and they

Children's Multiplicative Reasoning: Differences Across Grade Level and Tasks for Multiplication and Division

open access: yesSchool Science and Mathematics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multiplicative reasoning is a fundamental construct for children to engage meaningfully with multiplication and division. However, various reports suggest that elementary and middle school students in the United States lack the necessary multiplicative reasoning to engage in relevant topics.

An eikonal model with re‐excitability for fast simulations in cardiac electrophysiology

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Restitution properties obtained from cable‐equation simulations and anisotropic remeshing informed by local fibre orientation are combined in an eikonal model with re‐excitability. The resulting reduced electrophysiology model enables efficient simulations of recurrent activation patterns, here illustrated by atrial re‐entry ...
