The Science of Quantitative Reasoning
Numerical sequences require the brain to engage in **Inductive Reasoning**. This is the ability to take specific observations (the numbers shown) and deduce a general rule (the interval).
This process primarily occurs in the **Intraparietal Sulcus**, a region of the brain specialized for processing numerical magnitude and spatial-numerical associations.
"Training with numerical intervals improves 'Number Sense,' which is foundational for complex problem-solving and executive function."
Cognitive Load Management
As the sequences become more complex, your **Working Memory** must hold multiple variables: the current number, the previous number, and the hypothesized interval.
Strengthening this mental "scratchpad" allows for faster data processing in real-world scenarios, from financial planning to split-second logical deductions.
