There was a story in the New York Times yesterday about perceptual learning, and it brought up two things for me:
a) I was surprised (relieved?) to hear that I wasn't the only one who has trouble with fractions.
b) I had a breakthrough moment a few weeks ago when Catherine told me to break out the number line.

Fascinating, but totally makes sense when I think back to Gladwell's "Blink." Interesting that we can, in way, speed the process up.

The approach is interesting, but the study was done with way-too-tiny sample sizes.
