1st Mathematical Cognition and Learning Society Conference
Professor Yulia Kovas participated in the 1st Mathematical Cognition and Learning Society Conference (University of Oxford) and delivered a talk «Genetic, Environmental and Neural Underpinnings of Mathematical Anxiety» (co-authored with Tomasz Blonievski) at the Symposium «Math Anxiety: from psychophysiology to interventions, through genetic and learning».
The talk presented recent findings from genetically informative studies into the aetiology of mathematical anxiety and its association with general anxiety and spatial anxiety; presented results of an EEG twin study into neurophysiological correlates of mathematical anxiety, conducted at Tomsk State University conducted. The research suggests that anxiety is a multifactorial construct phenotypically and aetiologically, highlighting the importance of studying anxiety within specific contexts.
