TL;DR: Findings indicate that children go astray on proportional reasoning problems involving discrete units only when a numerical match is possible, suggesting that their difficulty is due to an overextension of numerical equivalence concepts to proportional equivalence problems.

TL;DR: A consensus-based checklist to improve and document the transparency of research reports in social and behavioural research and to submit with their manuscript or post to a public repository is presented.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that scaling has a cognitive cost that results in decreasing performance with increasing scaling magnitude, which is consistent with children's use of intuitive strategies to solve proportional reasoning problems that may be important in scaffolding more formal mathematical understanding of proportional relations.

TL;DR: Though disfluent fonts slightly increase response times, there is little evidence that they activate analytic reasoning, and the most famous demonstration showed that participants were more likely to solve counterintuitive math problems when they were printed in hard-to-read font.
