Numerosity in college students
KRATOCHVÍLOVÁ, Dominika
This bachelor thesis focuses on problems of numerosity among university students studying humanities. The aim is to compare mathematical abilities and rough mathematical estimation of people studying humanities. The theoretical part deals with mathematical abilities and their disruption, numerosity and especially the definition of the aproximal numerical system. Electroencephalography or EEG, which is the method by which the data for this research was obtained, is described. The practical part is divided into two parts, when the probands are tested first. It works with a standardized test, which further allows to divide probands into mathematically gifted and non-gifted. The main part of the research is the analysis of acquired data using electroencephalograph (EEG), which enables comparison between the above mentioned target groups. The aim of this thesis is to extend information about numerosity. The research included a total of 8 probands, who were at the age from 19 to 25. The results of this research showed that, in contrast to previous research, when there was significant activity in the parietal part on the left side, significant activity could be seen in the parietal-occipital and occipital regions on both sides (not just the left side). In addition, a correlation was demonstrated in probands who achieved above-average results in the Intelligence Test (IST Structure Test) and the rough mathematical estimate was processed faster. Probands who achieved below-average results in the Intelligence Test had slower processing of rough mathematical estimation. However, it turned out that although probands with above-average mathematical intelligence processed the result sooner, their reaction time was longer.
