“…We used fMRI data from an independent sample of 45 participants to classify task improvers from non-improvers in a different cognitive test, the word completion task (as part of a Choose-and-Solve Task (CAST; Choe et al, 2019), see methods). The performance levels of participants are shown in Figure 6, and panel B shows the performance separately for the two groups of improvers and non-improvers.…”

“…The dataset was provided by Choe, Jenifer, Rozek, Berman, & Beilock (in preparation), and consists of fMRI runs for 45 participants aged between 18-35 who performed a math and word Choose-and-Solve Task (CAST) for 6 minutes in every run. This task involves choosing to solve math equation completion and word completion tasks and is originally designed for detecting math anxiety and math avoidance behavior (Choe et al, 2019). The participants performed the CAST in 6 runs in fMRI scanner which provided us with a different learning/practice paradigm to cross-validate the Hbased classification model used for dual n-back.…”

“…Negative perceptions towards mathematics generate avoidance behaviors, taking measures to counteract this behavior can be the key to reducing anxiety towards mathematics (Choe, Jenifer, Rozek, Berman & Beilock, 2019).…”

“…While these observations are largely anecdotal [2], the effects of having math anxiety can be devastating, as mathematics is an important part of life [3]. Math anxiety can cause individuals to avoid math or situations that require analytical and rational thought [4]. Several studies have been carried out with elementary and grade school students to learn more about human reaction to mathematics [5], yet fewer studies have been done on college students or later.…”
