Wow, that is one misleading headline. “Find a link” vs. “we looked at these two things together”? Not the same thing whatsoever.
I mean, I can see studying algebra being pretty traumatic to some people, but I doubt it’s that bad. Immediate treatment is likely not necessary.
On a more serious note, the research does seem to speak specifically to memory formation from intense/extreme sensory experience, and most algebra studies won’t be particularly impactful on a sensory level. Would definitely be interesting to see this thread followed up on though.
