Neurokognition der Verarbeitung und des Erlernens von Brüchen
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
Taken together, studies 1 and 2 of our project showed that there are domain-specific and domaingeneral aspects of content-specific fraction processing, which determine the difficulty of fractions. Moreover, results of study 3 indicated that domain-specific magnitude processing of fractions can be improved by training, even if this training uses different notations. In addition to this content-specific fraction processing, there were also affective aspects which can influence and even hinder fraction processing and which are also driven by the difficulty of the fraction task. In this vein, results of study 4 suggested that negative affective responses to difficult math tasks (in this case proportions) seem to occur in all individuals, but the ability to sufficiently regulate these affective reactions seems to reduce the negative effect on actual performance. Therefore, we suggest that a training of domain-general emotion regulation might be beneficial for content-specific fraction learning and processing. Nevertheless, it is up to future studies to evaluate these claims.
