Cold showers have been used for centuries as a way to invigorate the body and mind. While the idea of taking a cold shower may seem daunting to some, the benefits of cold showers are numerous and can lead to improved physical and mental health. In this blog post, we'll explore some of the benefits of cold showers and why you should consider incorporating them into your daily routine. Boosted Immune System Cold showers can help boost your immune system by increasing the production of white blood cells. These cells are responsible for fighting off infections and diseases, making them essential for maintaining good health. Cold showers also stimulate the lymphatic system, which is responsible for removing waste and toxins from the body. Improved Circulation Cold water causes your blood vessels to constrict, which helps to improve circulation. This can be particularly beneficial for those who suffer from poor circulation or conditions ...

The early morning hours, just after sunrise, can be a magical time of day. The light is soft, the air is cool, and the world is still relatively quiet. But did you know that there are also some significant health benefits to exposing yourself to early morning light? In this blog post, we'll explore some of the benefits of early morning light exposure and why it's worth making the effort to rise early and enjoy the morning light. Improved sleep patterns.  One of the most important benefits of early morning light exposure is that it can help to regulate your sleep patterns. Exposure to natural light in the morning helps to reset your body's internal clock, making it easier to fall asleep at night and wake up in the morning. This is because exposure to morning light helps to suppress the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep, and increase cortisol, a hormone that helps you feel more awake and alert. Boosted mood.  Exposure to early morning light has also be...

  JASP , which stands for "Jeffreys's Amazing Statistics Program", is a free and open-source software designed for statistical analysis. Developed by a team of statisticians and programmers, JASP provides an easy-to-use graphical interface for conducting a variety of statistical tests and analyses. The software features a wide range of statistical models, including Bayesian and frequentist approaches, making it a versatile tool for data analysis in fields such as psychology, social sciences, and education.  The software can be downloaded here:  https://jasp-stats.org/download/    Tutorials here:  https://jasp-stats.org/how-to-use-jasp/   Youtube videos here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVR3LrmfNYA&list=PLVI_iGT5ZuRnIqpav1UaadEJmj2e8QHzn  

  “One”, ●●, 3, Four: The Emergence of Early Numerical Knowledge  Chair: Francesco Sella (1), Attila Krajcsi (2)  Early numerical knowledge strongly predicts later mathematical achievement. Yet, we have an unclear picture of how children progressively acquire such knowledge. This symposium brings together four studies that have implemented specific numerical and non-numerical tasks to unveil how different numerical competencies develop and interact. We provide evidence of the limited number knowledge in 5- and 6-knowers (Talk 1), the role of inhibition in moderating the relation between non-symbolic and symbolic number skills (Talk 2), the influence of non-symbolic and symbolic mapping on maths achievement (Talk 3), and the role of number ordering in early numerical development (Talk 4).  Keywords: Early numeracy, Counting, Preschool children, Number development, Symbolic number processing Intro slide.
