Cross-Cultural Factors Relating to the Mathematical Cognition of Diverse Populations Around the Globe
We explore cognitive, socioemotional, and biological factors related to the mathematics performance of diverse learners. This symposium examines dual-language (English/Spanish, U.S.) and second-language learners (Irish, U.K.), indigenous students (Māori, N.Z.), underrepresented minority students (African-American and Hispanic, US) and the differences in monkeys, children, remote Amazonian people, and U.S. adults.
