We are a group of researchers, led by @mateuszhohol.bsky.social, based at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, investigating the psychological mechanisms of mathematical cognition and learning. Our website: https://mcll.edu.pl
Great news! Member of our lab, Julia Klimecka, has been admitted (from the 1st position in the Psychology program!) to the Doctoral School in the Social Sciences of the Jagiellonian University. Congratulations and all the best!

We just got back from #MCLS2025, where we presented our research on numerical processing in mathematicians and on associations between long-term memory and math skills. Many fantastic talks and conversations with colleagues from around the world @mcls-official.bsky.social @mclstrainee.bsky.social

This weekend, our team gave three talks at the Mathematical Cognition conference in Toruล. Weโre returning with a best poster award, a special mention, and plenty of inspiration from great discussions with researchers and practitioners. Thanks to everyone for the insights!

Think you're good at picking random numbers? ๐ฒ
Our "random" choices are shaped by hidden patterns - like favoring small numbers, leaning left on a mental number line, and even being influenced by how we move our bodies in space or how we read.
Curious? Stay for more!
Did you know being good at school math doesnโt mean you can use it in real life? ๐งฎ
Market-working kids solve complex math daily but struggle with school tasksโwhile students ace tests but canโt apply math practically!
Bridging this gap is key. Stay for more! ๐ค
๐ข Numbers tell two stories: the literal (quantity) and the deeper meaning (context).
๐ A 1% increase might seem smallโunless itโs the leap from no risk to some risk.
Numeracy & fuzzy-trace theory reveal why both exact and intuitive reasoning matter.
๐ Stay tuned for more!
A preregistered VR study by our lab member Piotr (with J. Nenadalovรก & N. Van Leeuwen) is out in Psychology of Religion & Spirituality! ๐ฅณ
The authors (re) tested whether feeling of threat affects agency detection ๐ป

Congrats, Piotr!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Ending 2024 with great news! ๐คฉ

Nina Baลผela recently joined a seminar on diagnosing dyscalculia, sharing insights on a diagnostic tool for assessing math abilities that she's developing as part of the project at the Educational Research Institute.
