To address this gap, this study utilized fNIRS hyperscanning technique to investigate the behavioral and neural mechanisms within both friend and stranger dyads engaging in various levels of interdependent cooperation tasks. Our findings revealed that high interdependent cooperation task can improve the behavioral performance of both friend and stranger dyads, enhancing the intra-brain functional connectivity (FC) of right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC.R) and right supramarginal gyrus (SMG.R) in stranger dyads, as well as the inter-brain synchrony (IBS) of SMG.R. Additionally, high interdependent interpersonal relationship can strengthen the intra-brain FC of DLPFC.R and SMG.R, as well as the IBS of SMG.R, during low interdependent cooperation task. These insights underscore the critical importance of both task and interpersonal interdependences in shaping cooperative behavior and neural synchrony.","PeriodicalId":48503,"journal":{"name":"npj Science of Learning","volume":"10 1","pages":"9"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11847934/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143484188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This consolidation could operate on a shorter timescale during wakefulness after initial motor learning. Within micro-offline learning states, sequences of simple individual actions learned through interleaved practice are condensed into a unified skill through a time-dependent consolidation process occurring during wakeful periods. While emerging evidence links Glutamate and GABA modulations in the primary motor cortex (M1) to motor learning, its relationship with micro-offline consolidation processes in brief resting states during motor learning is unclear. To investigate this issue, we employed Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to evaluate whether interindividual variation of different neurotransmitters at rest influences motor learning consolidation in humans. Our results point to the role of GABAB in micro-offline motor consolidation processes during motor learning in M1. This finding could have an important impact on planning neuropharmacology or non-invasive brain stimulation approaches in clinical domains, such as post-stroke rehabilitation.","PeriodicalId":48503,"journal":{"name":"npj Science of Learning","volume":"10 1","pages":"10"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11847931/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143484224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, interventions that leverage EF to improve mathematics remain poorly understood. 193 four-year-olds (mean age = 3 years; 11 months pre-intervention; 111 female, 69% White) were assessed 5 months apart, with 103 children randomised to an integrated EF and mathematics intervention. Our pre-registered hypotheses proposed that the intervention would improve mathematics more than practice as usual. Multi-level modelling and network analyses were applied to the data. The intervention group improved more than the control group in overall numeracy, even when controlling for differences across settings in EF and mathematics-enhancing practices. EF and mathematics measures showed greater interconnectedness post-intervention. In addition, disadvantaged children in the intervention group made greater gains than in the control group. Our findings emphasise the need to consider EFs in their integration with co-developing functions, and in their educational and socio-economic context.","PeriodicalId":48503,"journal":{"name":"npj Science of Learning","volume":"10 1","pages":"8"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11836118/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143450492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, the developmental trajectory of visual statistical learning has not been fully examined in the orthographic learning domain. Employing an artificial orthographic learning task, we manipulated three levels of positional consistency of radicals, i.e., high (100%), moderate (80%), and low (60%), embedded in pseudocharacters to investigate visual statistical learning across a wide age range between 4-12-year-olds and adults. The non-linear power-function models indicated that the rates of improvement in acquiring varying positional consistencies increased with age, particularly for high and moderate levels. Specifically, we observed a significant enhancement in statistical learning abilities between the ages of 4-5 years and 5-6 years, followed by a stabilization of performance after 8-9 years. Our findings support the age-dependent perspective that individuals' visual statistical learning ability improves significantly in early childhood and then decelerates its improvement progressively until adulthood.","PeriodicalId":48503,"journal":{"name":"npj Science of Learning","volume":"10 1","pages":"6"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11772868/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143053914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
