معرفی
Mikael Skagenholt is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Behavioural Sciences and Learning (IBL) within the Division of Psychology (PSY) at Linköping University. He is affiliated with the JEDI-lab, which investigates intuition, reflection, and emotion in economic decision-making. His research focuses on numerical cognition, developmental psychology, and the neural underpinnings of cognitive processes. Skagenholt’s work bridges educational psychology and neuroscience, examining how cognitive and affective factors influence arithmetic skills and academic achievement across lifespan stages.
His research interests include mathematics anxiety, number processing mechanisms, and the interplay between domain-specific and domain-general cognitive abilities. He collaborates with colleagues such as Ulf Träff and Kenny Skagerlund on studies involving neurocognitive foundations of numerical skills and their developmental trajectories.
Skagenholt’s recent publications highlight advancements in understanding arithmetic skill development in primary school, the role of reading comprehension in mathematical proficiency, and the neural correlates of numerical cognition. His contributions to the field emphasize both empirical and theoretical frameworks for improving educational practices and addressing cognitive challenges in learning.
