Executive function effects and numerical development in children : behavioural and ERP evidence from a numerical Stroop paradigm

TL;DR: The authors used the numerical Stroop paradigm (NSP) and ERPs to study possible executive interference in numerical processing tasks in 6-8-year-old children, showing that younger children are highly susceptible to interference from irrelevant physical information such as digit size, but that access to the numerical representation is almost as fast in young children as in adults.

Predicting similarity judgments in intertemporal choice with machine learning.

TL;DR: This work uses machine-learning algorithms to assess what factors predict similarity judgments and whether decision trees capture the judgment outcomes and process and finds that combining small and large values into numerical differences and ratios and arranging them in tree-like structures can predict both similarity judgment and response times.

Behavior of rats under fixed consecutive number schedules: effects of drugs of abuse

TL;DR: Four rats responded under a simple fixed consecutive number schedule in which eight or more consecutive responses on the run lever, followed by a single response on the reinforcement lever, produced the food reinforcer.

More but not less uncertainty makes adult humans' tool selections more similar to those reported with crows.

TL;DR: It seems that increasing, but not decreasing, people’s uncertainty about a problem can make humans’ tool selections more similar to those reported with crows.

On the classification of reinforcement schedules

TL;DR: I am indebted to Professor Lighthill for some further illuminating remarks regarding this point and his comments on Heisenberg's Theory of Isotropic Turbulence are highly illuminating.
