Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Verena Dresen"
- Verena Dresen's research focuses on the intersection of language, cognition, and mathematics, with a particular emphasis on how linguistic and developmental factors influence numerical skills in children and the efficacy of psychoeducational interventions for stress management in university students.
- Recent studies highlight the critical role of spatial language skills in predicting verbal number skills in children, indicating a connection between cognitive development and numerical understanding through a longitudinal analysis.
- Dresen's work also explores embodied numerical representations, showing how finger counting influences mathematical performance and suggesting that cross-linguistic differences affect arithmetic fact retrieval, which emphasizes the importance of language in the processing of numerical concepts.
