涉及大数(例如9×8)的乘法问题比涉及小数(例如2×3)的问题更难解决。行为研究表明,这种问题大小效应可能是由于不同国家和教育系统的不同因素造成的。然而,没有神经成像证据支持这一假设。在这里,我们比较了在中国和美国接受教育的成年人中乘法问题大小效应的神经相关性。我们发现,在与语音加工相关的双侧上颞区,中国人比美国人有更大的神经问题大小效应。然而,我们发现,在与计算程序相关的右顶内沟(IPS)中,美国人比中国人有更大的神经问题大小效应。因此,与美国人相比,乘法问题大小效应在中国人中可能是一种言语提取效应,但与中国人相比,它可能源于美国人对计算程序的使用。我们的结果表明,教育实践的差异可能会影响符号算术的神经基础。
Multiplication problems involving large numbers (e.g., 9 × 8) are more difficult to solve than problems involving small numbers (e.g., 2 × 3). Behavioral research indicates that this problem-size effect might be due to different factors across countries and educational systems. However, there is no neuroimaging evidence supporting this hypothesis. Here, we compared the neural correlates of the multiplication problem-size effect in adults educated in China and the United States. We found a greater neural problem-size effect in Chinese than American participants in bilateral superior temporal regions associated with phonological processing. However, we found a greater neural problem-size effect in American than Chinese participants in right intra-parietal sulcus (IPS) associated with calculation procedures. Therefore, while the multiplication problem-size effect might be a verbal retrieval effect in Chinese as compared to American participants, it may instead stem from the use of calculation procedures in American as compared to Chinese participants. Our results indicate that differences in educational practices might affect the neural bases of symbolic arithmetic.
