Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2013 AbstractGeometry is a basic skill to be mastered. It is important in architecture and design, in engineering and in various aspects of construction work. However, in Malaysian education system, the process of teaching and learning geometry does not reflect its importance.

The van Hiele Levels at Czech Secondary Schools
Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2015 AbstractThis paper focuses on the results of a pilot study based on the van Hiele theory of geometric thinking at Czech secondary schools. The van Hiele theory describes how young people learn geometry. It postulates five levels of geometric thinking.

Switching from ligand to receptor anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antibodies or vice versa in non-responders: A controlled cohort study. [PDF]
Eur J NeurolAbstract Background and purpose Limited options exist for migraine prevention after stopping anti‐calcitonin gene‐related peptide monoclonal antibodies. A systematic review examining the benefits of switching between different classes (ligand vs. receptor monoclonal antibody) is essential, alongside well‐designed real‐world studies.

Involuntary Attention in Healthy Older Adults at Electroencephalographic Risk of Cognitive Decline: An ERP Study. [PDF]
Brain BehavThis study compared the distraction event‐related potential between 25 older adults with excessive theta activity (risk group, RG) and 25 controls (CG). Participants underwent an auditory duration discrimination task with standard and deviant tones while an EEG was recorded to obtain ERPs.

Functionally annotated electrophysiological neuromarkers of healthy ageing and memory function. [PDF]
Hum Brain MappWe analysed a large open resting‐state EEG dataset and found that dynamic rather than static neuromarkers better capture cognitive ageing. We clarified that individualised alpha power reflects memory performance rather than ageing. Finally, we used functionally annotated source reconstruction to reveal domain‐specific electrophysiological mechanisms ...

Re‐evaluation of erythritol (E 968) as a food additive
EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 Abstract This opinion addresses the re‐evaluation of erythritol (E 968) as food additive and an application for its exemption from the laxative warning label requirement as established under Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011. Erythritol is a polyol obtained by fermentation with Moniliella pollinis BC or Moniliella megachiliensis KW3‐6, followed by ...

Simplest Shapes First! But Let's Use Cognitive Science to Reconceive and Specify What “Simple” Means
Mind, Brain, and Education, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 5-19, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Children's informal and formal learning experiences with geometric shapes currently result in misconceptions that persist into adulthood. Here, we combine research from mathematics education as well as cognitive science pertaining to concepts, categories, and learning strategies to propose a more optimal progression that is better specified ...

Children building and having fun while they learn geometry
Computer Applications in Engineering Education, Volume 30, Issue 3, Page 741-758, May 2022., 2022 Abstract Geometry is a basic discipline in STEM education. Recent educational reports, however, suggest that geometry is one of the subjects that sees the lowest levels of performance in the math curriculum. This paper presents a gamified itinerary through digital activities designed to teach geometry. Our aim is to attract Primary School children into

Learning a new geometric concept: The role of working memory and of domain‐specific abilities
British Journal of Educational Psychology, Volume 91, Issue 4, Page 1537-1554, December 2021., 2021 It has been suggested that not only domain‐specific factors but also working memory (WM) may play a crucial role in mathematical learning included Geometry, but the issue has not been deeply explored. In the present study, we examined the role of domain‐specific factors and of verbal versus visuospatial WM on geometric learning of a new geometrical ...
