{"pk":27700,"title":"Cognition under Pressure: Relationships between Anxiety, Executive Functions, and Mathematics","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This symposium integrates findings across studies\nconducted in both laboratory and classroom contexts to\ndraw attention to the relationships between Executive\nFunctions (EFs) and feelings of anxiety in a context with\neducational consequences: Mathematics. EFs, the cognitive\nresources including working memory and inhibitory control\nthat enable attentional control, manipulation of mental\nrepresentations, and task switching (Miyake et al, 2000),\npowerfully predict mathematics achievement (Bull & Lee,\n2014). Mathematics is also a domain in which anxiety and\nperformance pressure are often heightened, which can result\nin worry ideation and load to EF resources (Foley et al,\n2017; Schmader & Beilock, 2012). However, despite these\nrelationships, mathematics cognition under pressure remains\nunder-considered.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"executive functions"},{"word":"mathematics"},{"word":"anxiety"},{"word":"pressure"},{"word":"stereotype threat"},{"word":"Mindfulness"}],"section":"Symposia","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0s28s8wt","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Emily","middle_name":"McLaughlin","last_name":"Lyons","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Chicago","department":""},{"first_name":"Lindsey","middle_name":"E","last_name":"Richland","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Chicago","department":""},{"first_name":"Priti","middle_name":"","last_name":"Shah","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Michigan","department":""},{"first_name":"Amira","middle_name":"","last_name":"Ibrahim","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Michigan","department":""},{"first_name":"Marci","middle_name":"S","last_name":"Decaro","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Louisville","department":""},{"first_name":"David","middle_name":"B","last_name":"Bellinger","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Louisville","department":""},{"first_name":"Patricia","middle_name":"A.
