    Abstract : Simple content analysis methods, such as the Bechdel test and measuring percentage of female talk time or characters, have seen a surge of attention from mainstream media and in social media the last couple of years. Underlying assumptions are generally shared with the gender role socialization model and consequently, an importance is stated, due to a high degree to which impressions from media shape in particular young children’s identification processes.

  3. 13. Nature and Nurture in Numerical Cognition : Investigating the Idea of a Generalized Magnitude System for Number, Space, and Time

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap; Linköpings universitet/Filosofiska fakulteten

    Author : Mikael Skagenholt; [2014]
    Keywords : Cognitive Science; Generalized Magnitude System; fMRI; ATOM; A Theory of Magnitude; Nature and Nurture; Numerical Cognition;

    Abstract : Current research in the field of numerical cognition reveals strong behavioral interactions and similar processing mechanisms for the perceptions of space, time, and number; which is generally believed to indicate that these dimensions share a common metric for representation in the brain. These three dimensions of magnitude––analog, ratio dependent representations of space, time, and number––are essential for interaction with the environment, and provide a conceptual basis on which further perceptual experience enhances the discrimination of distance, speed, numerosity, quantity, and size.
