An Exploration of Two Methods for using fMRI to Identify Student Problem Solving Strategies

Abstract. Using a math-learning paradigm, we explore two potential uses for fMRI when modeling problem-solving strategies. First, we use fMRI as an additional data source for our model. Second, we employ fMRI as a method of testing and understanding our behavioral models. We evaluate each method and consider which gains the greatest benefit from the inclusion of fMRI data.
