NCT ID NCT03059758

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study used brain scans (fMRI) to see how children aged 8 to 14 use deductive reasoning—like logical thinking—and how that relates to their math skills. Researchers measured brain activity while kids solved reasoning problems and compared it to their math test scores. The goal was to find which brain areas support math learning through reasoning.
