• Don’t stop believing: Rituals improve performance by decreasing anxiety (2016, background): “instance, there is only suggestive evidence of the efficacy of mindfulness meditation (Brunyé et al., 2013; Williams, Delizonna, & Langer, 2009; Shearer, Hunt, Chowdhury, & Nicol, 2015), distraction (Blagden & Craske, 1996), alcohol consumption (Steele & Josephs, 1988), and listening to music (Knigh”
• Understanding and addressing mathematics anxiety using perspectives from education, psychology and neuroscience (2016, background): “…stress responses elicited by mathematics tasks (Tang et al., 2007) and in improving performance on mathematics tasks for individuals with high MA (Brunyé et al., 2013) Cognitive reappraisal is another strategy proposed by Maloney et al. (2014) that can target both the physiological symptoms of…”
• Math Anxiety (2015, background): “…who were given a focused breathing exercise prior to completing a math task showed a greater increase in math performance when compared with highermath-anxious individuals who received either an unstructured breathing exercise or an exercise meant to exacerbate their worries (Brunyé et al., 2013).”
• Preschool Teachers’ Sensitivity to Mathematics in Children’s Play: The Influence of Math-Related School Experiences, Emotional Attitudes, and Pedagogical Beliefs (2015, background): “Emotional attitudes toward mathematics or potential math anxiety can be overcome through appropriate training programs (Brunyé et al., 2013; Hembree, 1990; Maloney & Beilock, 2012; Tobias, 1978).”
• Reciprocal relations among motivational frameworks, math anxiety, and math achievement in early elementary school (2018, background): “Studies involving experimentally decreasing anxiety have firmly established this causal path, at least among adults (Brunyé et al., 2013; Hembree, 1990; Park et al., 2014).”
