New blogpost day!
Did you know we tend to associate smaller numbers with our left & larger numbers with our right?
Dr Krzysztof Cipora has written a brilliantly accessible overview of this effect (SNARC) & introduces his most recent paper investigating it 🎨 ⤵️

Loved reading this one from Lara, as engaging as always and interesting to situate mathematics in our everyday thought processes.
In our newest CMC blogpost, Lara Alcock has written a brilliant piece linking logical reasoning in mathematics to psychological research on reasoning about everyday concepts.
