PURPOSE / ABSTRACT
Superfluous brackets around high-order operators in the center promoted problem solving accuracy when students had task-unrelated thought.
However, for students whose attention was on task, the presence of superfluous brackets facilitated problem solving response time regardless of high-order operator position.
