Cognitive strategy interventions improve word problem solving and working memory in children with math disabilities
This study investigated the role of strategy instruction and working memory capacity (WMC) on problem solving solution accuracy in children with and without math disabilities (MD). Children in grade 3 (N = 204) with and without MD subdivided into high and low WMC were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 conditions: verbal strategies (e.g., underlining question sentence), visual strategies (e.g., correc...
متن کاملWorking memory in children with reading disabilities.
This study investigated associations between working memory (measured by complex memory tasks) and both reading and mathematics abilities, as well as the possible mediating factors of fluid intelligence, verbal abilities, short-term memory (STM), and phonological awareness, in a sample of 46 6- to 11-year-olds with reading disabilities. As a whole, the sample was characterized by deficits in co...
متن کاملWorking memory, strategy knowledge, and strategy instruction in children with reading disabilities.
Two experiments investigated the effects of strategy knowledge and strategy training on the working memory (WM) performance in children (ages 10-11) with and without reading disabilities (RD). Experiment 1 examined the relationship between strategy knowledge (stability of strategy choices) and WM performance as a function of initial, gain (cued), and maintenance conditions. WM performance was s...
متن کاملSelective spatial working memory impairment in a group of children with mathematics learning disabilities and poor problem-solving skills.
This study examines visual and spatial working memory skills in 35 third to fifth graders with both mathematics learning disabilities (MLD) and poor problem-solving skills and 35 of their peers with typical development (TD) on tasks involving both low and high attentional control. Results revealed that children with MLD, relative to TD children, failed spatial working memory tasks that had eith...
متن کاملGrowth in Working Memory and Mathematical Problem Solving in Children at Risk and Not at Risk for Serious Math Difficulties
The influence of cognitive growth in working memory (WM) on mathematical problem solution accuracy was examined in elementary school children (N 353) at risk and not at risk for serious math problem solving difficulties. A battery of tests was administered that assessed problem solving, achievement, and cognitive processing (WM, inhibition, naming speed, phonological coding) in children in 1st,...
