"Der Gedanke an die Mathestunde macht mir Bauchschmerzen" - das ist ein Satz, den sicherlich schon einige Kinder gesagt haben. Aber was ist da wirklich dran? Darüber sprechen Kai und Luise in dieser Folge. Grundlage ist eine fMRT Studie, die gezeigt hat, dass Schmerzareale bei Menschen mit Matheangst in bestimmten Situationen aktiv werden. Aber: Das wird vor allem bei der Antizipation, nicht aber bei der Bearbeitung der Matehaufgabe gesehen. Was bedeutet das und spühren wir dann wirklich Schmerzen? Anlehnend daran dissktuieren die beiden heute, was diese Forschung für die Gestaltung von Matheunterricht bedeutet und wie man das nutzten kann, um gerade Kindern die Angst vor Mathe zu nehmen.

How often do you choke under pressure? Sweaty palms, brain blanks, heart going a million miles an hour...we’ve all been there. Thankfully, there are ways to avoid the panic and crush the performance next time you’re in the spotlight. Sian Leah Beilock became the 8th president of Barnard College at Columbia University in July, 2017. A cognitive scientist by training, she previously spent twelve years at the University of Chicago as the Professor of Psychology, specializing in how children and adults learn and perform at their best, especially under stress. In her research on the subject, Beilock explores the brain and body factors that influence skill learning and performance, as well as how simple psychological strategies can be used to ensure success in high-stakes situations ranging from test-taking and public speaking to athletics. She has published more than 100 papers and received numerous prestigious awards for her work. Alongside her other writing, President Beilock is the author of two books that have been published in more than a dozen languages, and her 2017 TED talk has been viewed over 2 million times.  On this episode of the Abundantly Clear podcast, Malorie and Sian cover why we choke under pressure and fail to perform our best (and how to stop doing it), rethinking the distractions in our world and allocating our resources more effectively, and finding balance between our many identities. Listen in for the best advice on acing your next big presentation. You’ll Learn   What you can do to focus your mind and body before a high-stakes performance, whatever it may be, in order to do your actual best Why taking a break and stepping away is biologically an important step in getting things done How to make the practice of being self-conscious a regular step in preparing for a big meeting, speech or task   And much more! Favorite Quote “If you take anything from my work, it's that we're not born chokers or thrivers. Like it's something you can learn, you can learn to perform better, and you need a toolbox of techniques. And so what we've been doing in my research is studying actually what happens in the brain when you use a particular technique and high pressure situation, how that works and how we can implement them regardless of where you are, whether it's taking a test or giving a talk or doing a concert piano performance, and I think, you know, there's always more work to do there until we don't have stressful situations, which doesn't seem to be like it's going to happen anytime soon.”  - Sian Beilock Connect with Sian: Twitter  Sianbeilock.com  Instagram   Choke: What the Secrets of the Brain Reveal About Getting It Right When You Have To Book How to get involved Malorie has become an expert in helping people remove their mindset blocks, so they can experience the growth in their business and decrease in stress they desire.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.05.25.114959v1?rss=1 Authors: Kardan, O., Layden, E. A., Choe, K. W., Lyu, M., Zhang, X., Beilock, S. L., Rosenberg, M. D., Berman, M. G. Abstract: Although practicing a task generally benefits later performance on that same task (practice effect), there are large, and mostly unexplained, individual differences in reaping the benefits from practice. One promising avenue to model and predict such differences comes from recent research showing that brain networks can extract functional advantages from operating in the vicinity of criticality, a state in which brain network activity is more scale-free. As such, we hypothesized that individuals with more scale-free fMRI activity, indicated by BOLD time series with a higher Hurst exponent (H), gain more benefits from practice. In this study, participants practiced a test of working memory and attention, the dual n-back task (DNB), watched a video clip as a break, and then performed the DNB again, during MRI. To isolate the practice effect, we divided the participants into two groups based on improvement in performance from the first to second DNB task run. We identified regions and connections in which H and functional connectivity related to practice effects in the last run. More scale-free brain activity in these regions during the preceding runs (either first DNB or video) distinguished individuals who showed greater DNB performance improvements over time. In comparison, functional connectivity (r2) in the identified connections did not reliably classify the two groups in the preceding runs. Finally, we replicated both H and r2 results from study 1 in an independent fMRI dataset of participants performing multiple runs of another working memory and attention task (word completion). We conclude that the brain networks can accommodate further practice effects in individuals with higher scale-free BOLD activity. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info

LHI's #HearHerStory podcast features Sian Beilock, President of Barnard College, renown cognitive scientist, and author of "Choke." Sian became the 8th President of Barnard College in July, 2017. A cognitive scientist by training, she is focused on further developing Barnard as a singular institution. She is raising the College’s eminence in math, science, and technology to parallel its renown in the arts and humanities. Building on our unique relationship with Columbia University, President Beilock is increasing options for students to transition directly from Barnard into a range of master’s programs at Columbia, including international relations, public health, and engineering. In this interview, Sian talks pursuing a career in academia and equipping young female students with tools and resources to overcome self-doubt. She details her experiences as well as techniques in tackling anxiety and performing up to one's utmost potential. Featured Quotes: "I think whenever we're in a situation where there may be historical cues or cues in the environment that signal we don't belong, it can cause us to start worrying and doubting ourselves. This is certainly true for women in male-dominated fields. In my research, what I argue is that those worries and self doubt are all cognitive load." "We know that simple things like getting your worries down on paper can help download them from your mind. We know that focusing on why you should succeed rather than why you should fail works as well. Talking to someone who can help you talk through these things can be really important too. Our thoughts can get the best of us and instead of worrying, we can actually harness them in a way that can be productive." Check out the interview on the LHI publication here.
