1.
Martell R, Daker R, Sokolowski H, Ansari D, Lyons I
Psychol Res . 2024 Dec; 89(1):34. PMID: 39653840
Mathematical and spatial abilities are positively related at both the behavioral and neural levels. Much of the evidence illuminating this relationship comes from classic laboratory-based experimental methods focused on cognitive...
2.
Delage V, Daker R, Trudel G, Lyons I, Maloney E
Can J Exp Psychol . 2024 Apr; 78(4):256-274. PMID: 38602814
One of the most robust relations in cognition is that between spatial and mathematical reasoning. One important question is whether this relation is domain general or if specific relations exist...

Fioriti C, Martell R, Daker R, Malone E, Sokolowski H, Green A, et al.
J Intell . 2024 Mar; 12(3). PMID: 38535164
Women reliably perform worse than men on measures of spatial ability, particularly those involving mental rotation. At the same time, females also report higher levels of spatial anxiety than males....

Daker R, Viskontas I, Porter G, Colaizzi G, Lyons I, Green A
Sci Rep . 2023 Oct; 13(1):17095. PMID: 37816728
Identifying ways to enable people to reach their creative potential is a core goal of creativity research with implications for education and professional attainment. Recently, we identified a potential barrier...

Daker R, Gattas S, Necka E, Green A, Lyons I
NPJ Sci Learn . 2023 Mar; 8(1):6. PMID: 36944641
Math-anxious people consistently underperform in math. The most widely accepted explanation for why this underperformance occurs is that math-anxious people experience heightened anxiety when faced with math, and this in-the-moment...

Daker R, Slipenkyj M, Green A, Lyons I
Sci Rep . 2023 Feb; 13(1):3294. PMID: 36841855
Anxieties that are specific to a particular kind of thinking have been demonstrated for a variety of cognitive domains. One hypothesized consequence of these anxieties is reduced interest in pursuing...

Cortes R, Peterson E, Kraemer D, Kolvoord R, Uttal D, Dinh N, et al.
Sci Adv . 2022 Aug; 8(32):eabo3555. PMID: 35947663
Current debate surrounds the promise of neuroscience for education, including whether learning-related neural changes can predict learning transfer better than traditional performance-based learning assessments. Longstanding debate in philosophy and psychology...

Daker R, Delage V, Maloney E, Lyons I
Ann N Y Acad Sci . 2022 Feb; 1512(1):174-191. PMID: 35220582
Anxiety within the domains of math and spatial reasoning have consistently been shown to predict performance within those domains. However, little work has focused on how specific these associations are....

Daker R, Gattas S, Sokolowski H, Green A, Lyons I
NPJ Sci Learn . 2021 Jun; 6(1):17. PMID: 34127672
Math anxiety is widely considered a potential barrier to success in STEM. Current thinking holds that math anxiety is directly linked to avoidance of and underperformance in STEM domains. However,...

Ren Z, Daker R, Shi L, Sun J, Beaty R, Wu X, et al.
Neuroimage . 2020 Oct; 225:117469. PMID: 33099006
While a recent upsurge in the application of neuroimaging methods to creative cognition has yielded encouraging progress toward understanding the neural underpinnings of creativity, the neural basis of barriers to...
