It is now online the final published version of the Article “Field dependence-independence mediates the association between visual perception and mathematics. A cross-sectional study in children and preadolescents.” by Francesca Vecchione, Marco Giancola, Massimiliano Palmiero, Maddalena Boccia, Simonetta D’Amico and Laura Piccardi published in European Journal of Developmental Psychology. In the present study we found that field-dependent/independent cognitive style (FDI) mediated the relaon between visual-percepon skills and mathemacs specifically during preadolescence, enhancing the posive correlaon between variables. In addion to the theorecal advances, the results of the present study may have an educational impact.

How the Brain Judges Harm: The Neuroscience Behind Moral Evaluation
Evaluating the actions of others is a complex cognitive process. It requires us to seamlessly integrate a person's underlying intentions with the actual outcomes they produce. But how exactly does the brain distinguish between a deliberate attack and a mere accident? A groundbreaking new article titled "How the brain judges harm: functional networks among intentional and […]
