Common neural functions during children's naturalistic and controlled laboratory mathematics learning

A major goal of human neuroscience is to understand how the brain functions in the real world, and to measure neural processes under conditions that are ecologically valid. A critical step toward this goal is understanding how brain activity during naturalistic tasks that mimic the real world, relates to brain activity in more traditional laboratory tasks. In the present study, we used intersubject correlations to locate reliable stimulus-driven cerebral processes among children and adults in a naturalistic video lesson and a laboratory forced-choice task that shared the same arithmetic concept. We show that relative to a control condition with grammatical content, naturalistic and laboratory arithmetic tasks evoked overlapping activation within brain regions previously associated with math semantics. The regions of specific functional overlap between the naturalistic mathematics lesson and laboratory mathematics task included bilateral intraparietal cortex, which confirms that this region processes mathematical content independently of differences in task mode. These findings suggest that regions of the intraparietal cortex process mathematical content when children are learning about mathematics in the real world.

Avaliação de intervenções educativas e conhecimento da equipe de enfermagem no uso de eletrocirurgia

Objetivo: Evaluar el efecto de las intervenciones educativas en el conocimiento y la aplicabilidad de la electrocirugía del equipo de enfermería.Material y método: Cuasiexperimento, con evaluaciones antes y después en un solo grupo, llevado a cabo en el centro quirúrgico de un hospital universitario terciario brasileño. Se realizó en siete etapas, se aplicó un cuestionario semiestructurado para evaluar los conocimientos de los participantes. Los participantes fueron expuestos a dos intervenciones educativas (clase expositiva, dialogada y video clase) y después de cada intervención se evaluó la retención de conocimientos. También se evaluaron indicadores de la aplicación de la unidad de electrocirugía durante los procedimientos quirúrgicos.Resultados: Participaron del estudio 4 enfermeros y 28 técnicos en enfermería. Los enfermeros tenían conocimientos previos sobre el tema de la mayor parte de los tópicos. Los técnicos en enfermería, mejoraron en los ítems verificación del equipamiento y colocación de la placa. Conclusiones: Los profesionales presentaron un buen desempeño teórico pero el mismo no se refleja en la práctica porque los profesionales son reacios a realizar prácticas que no coincidan con la teoría. La realización de este tipo de investigaciones es conveniente porque les permite a los gestores la posibilidad de proponer proyectos para una mejora continua de la asistencia perioperatoria. Objective: To evaluate the effect of educational interventions on the Nursing team's knowledge and applicability of electrosurgery.Material and Method: A quasi-experiment, with pre- and post-tests in a single group developed in the operating room of a Brazilian tertiary-level university hospital. It was developed in seven stages, with the application of a semi-structured questionnaire to assess the participants' knowledge. The participants were exposed to two educational interventions (lecture, dialogue and video-lesson) and, after each intervention, they were evaluated for knowledge retention. Indicators of the application of the electrosurgery unit during surgical procedures were also evaluated.Results: Four nurses and 28 nursing technicians participated in the study. The nurses had prior knowledge of the theme on most of the topics. Among the nursing technicians, there was an improvement in the “equipment check” and “electrodispersive plate positioning” items. Conclusions: The professionals presented good theoretical performance but the same is not evidenced in the practice because they are reluctant to having a practice different from the theory. Research of this nature is timely because it provides managers with a possibility to propose projects for continuous improvement of perioperative assistance.
