I’m looking for a study where someone has looked at accuracy on Raven’s matrices (or similar) items under extreme time pressure at the item level (not time pressure at the test level). I can’t find anything, but surely this study must exist?

Thank you @driro.bsky.social for the invitation and for organising this exciting symposium on executive function and maths!

In a new pub, we examined subgroup differences in Asian American children, particularly 1) the diversity of math achievement and 2) what factors predict this diversity. Ultimately, we wanted to see whether the factors predicting math achievement is the same across subgroups.

Couldn't find anything simple and easy to use, so I made a tool to generate auditory numerosity stimuli for ANS studies in Python. Feel free to use it!

Collecting an extensive publicly available dataset on 4 inhibitory control tasks, Lee et al. show that more than 1000 trials/participant are necessary to reduce within-subject variability and improve the reliability of the congruency effect.
