In the “remarkable coincidence” department, I just saw this morning an advert for a (UK) PhD studentship on this very topic: “Enabling Success on Science and Maths Problems; The Role of Local and Global Processing”.
… The student will investigate the relationship between success on maths and science misconceptions (e.g. naive conceptions, scientific misconceptions, perceptual bias, overgeneralisations) and: 1) the ability to inhibit local vs. global misleading information; 2) the ability to adaptively switch between local and global processing.
Full info is at this link (eligibility: UK/EU, application deadline 13 March). I am not affiliated with this research group/institution but thought there was enough potential overlap with LW readership to be worth posting.
