[MATHLINK] Inquiry about Assistance in Meta-Analysis on Spontaneous Focusing on Numerosity and Mathematics

[oyangxz at connect.hku.hk]

To whom it may concern,

I hope this email finds you well. My name is Xiangzi Ouyang. My collaborators (Dr. Jenny Chan and Dr. Terry Wong) and I are currently working on a meta-analysis related to spontaneous focusing on numerosity and mathematics. I believe that the members of the Mathematical Cognition and Learning Society (MCLS) could provide valuable insights and data that would significantly contribute to my research.

I am writing to kindly request your assistance in sending an email to the MCLS mailing list on our behalf. We would like to inquire if any members have unpublished data or studies related to spontaneous focusing on numerosity and mathematics that they would be willing to share. The inclusion of such data in my meta-analysis would help provide a more comprehensive understanding of this topic and potentially contribute to advancements in the field.

Below, I have prepared a draft of the email that I would like you to consider sending to the mailing list:

Subject: Request for Unpublished Data on Spontaneous Focusing on Numerosity and Mathematics for a Meta-Analysis

Dear MCLS Members,

I hope this email finds you well. One of our fellow researchers, Dr. Xiangzi Ouyang, Dr. Jenny Chan, Dr. Terry Wong, are currently working on a meta-analysis related to spontaneous focusing on numerosity and mathematics. They are seeking unpublished data or studies related to this topic to include in their research.

Specifically, the team is conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis on SFON, with the focus on (a) the relation between SFON (including spontaneous focusing on number symbols and quantitative relations, attention to number and mathematical features) and children's math achievement (including children's number skills, word problem-solving, arithmetic or calculation, approximate number system, geometry, algebra, statistics and probability), and (b) potential moderators of this relation (e.g., age, gender, measures of SFON and math).

If you have any gray literature (e.g., pre-prints, theses and dissertations, conference posters and presentations, unpublished papers, etc.) that you believe could contribute to this meta-analysis, please consider sharing it with Dr. Xiangzi Ouyang by emailing her at oyangxz at connect.hku.hk<mailto:oyangxz at connect.hku.hk>.

Thank you for your consideration and support.

Best regards,
Mathematical Cognition and Learning Society

I appreciate your time and consideration in this matter, and I hope that you can assist me in reaching out to the MCLS members. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you for your support, and I look forward to receiving your feedback.

Best regards,
Xiangzi Ouyang, Ph.D.
