Revisiting the competition model: From formation to pedagogical implications
Banaruee, Hassan; Khatin-Zadeh, Omid; Farsani, Danyal (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Language is a unique phenomenon and special enough to be treated meticulously in its analysis. Several models describe the underlying mechanisms for language acquisition and its processing. One of the most salient ones is ... -
The role of mathematical metaphors and gestures in the understanding of abstract mathematical concepts
Khatin-Zadeh, Omid; Eskandari, Zahra; Farsani, Danyal (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)When a new mathematical idea is presented to students in terms of abstract mathematical symbols, they may have difficulty to grasp it. This difficulty arises because abstract mathematical symbols do not directly refer to ... -
The role of perceptual and action effector strength of graphs and bases of mathematical metaphors in the metaphorical processing of mathematical concepts
Khatin-Zadeh, Omid; Farsani, Danyal; Hu, Jiehui; Marmolejo-Ramos, Fernando (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Metaphors that describe an abstract concept in terms of a motion concept are widely used to enhance our understanding of abstract concepts.
