TL;DR: The present meta-analysis statistically synthesized the extensive evidence on the correlation between number line estimation and broader mathematical competence and demonstrated that the task is a robust tool for diagnosing and predicting broader Mathematical competence and should be further investigated in developmental and experimental training studies.
Abstract: The number line estimation task is widely used to investigate mathematical learning and development. The present meta-analysis statistically synthesized the extensive evidence on the correlation between number line estimation and broader mathematical competence. Averaged over 263 effect sizes with 10,576 participants with sample mean ages from 4 to 14 years, this correlation was r = .443. The correlation increased with age, mainly because it was higher for fractions than for whole numbers. The correlation remained stable across a wide range of task variants and mathematical competence measures (i.e., counting, arithmetic, school achievement). These findings demonstrate that the task is a robust tool for diagnosing and predicting broader mathematical competence and should be further investigated in developmental and experimental training studies.

TL;DR: The first meta‐analysis comparing transcranial Electrical Stimulation of learning vs. of test performance supports the view that tES enhances long‐term synaptic learning and provides evidence for the modulation of long-term synaptic plasticity by tES in the context of practically relevant learning tasks.

TL;DR: The first synthesis of (-)-mitrephorone A is disclosed along with discussion and study of synthetic strategies, which presents a number of approaches for the synthesis of the central oxetane, including carbonyl-olefin photocycloadditions, Prins-type cyclizations, and oxidative ring closures.
Abstract: The first synthesis of (−)-mitrephorone A is disclosed along with discussion and study of synthetic strategies. The natural product includes a highly congested hexacyclic ent-trachylobane diterpenoid framework featuring a rare, embedded oxetane. The synthetic analysis presented dissects a number of approaches for the synthesis of the central oxetane, including carbonyl-olefin photocycloadditions, Prins-type cyclizations, and oxidative ring closures. In the successful route, three [4 + 2] cycloadditions enable rapid construction of all carbocycles. A novel late-stage oxidative cyclization of a hydroxy diosphenol with Koser’s reagent furnishes the pivotal oxetane moiety.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that imagery training with adult athletes is widely used to improve performance and that one underlying mechanism is the optimization of mental movement representations, and they leave open the question of whether imagery also improves mental representati
Abstract: Imagery training with adult athletes is widely used to improve performance. One underlying mechanism is the optimization of mental movement representations. However, past research has focused mainly on adults and has left open for further research on whether imagery also improves mental representati

TL;DR: The authors tracked 137 undergraduate psychology students' concepts of human memory longitudinally over four semesters and found that the students' development followed six transition paths between four knowledge profiles, indicating a general trend from fragmented knowledge to integrated scientific knowledge.

TL;DR: A modular synthesis of analogues is described, allowing flexible variations of the cyclic side chain of the parent lactone to be modified for the secretion of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-6.
