Individual differences in cognitive arithmetic.
Unities in the processes involved in solving arithmetic problems of varying operations have been suggested by studies that have used both factor-analytic and information-processing methods. We designed the present study to investigate the convergence of mental processes assessed by paper-and-pencil measures defining the Numerical Facility factor and component processes for cognitive arithmetic ...
متن کاملSimple arithmetic processing: individual differences in automaticity
This study investigated individual differences in the ability to automatically access simple addition and multiplication facts from memory. It employed a targetnaming task and a priming procedure similar to that utilized in the single word semantic-priming paradigm. In each trial, participants were first presented with a single digit arithmetic problem (e.g., 6 + 8) and were then presented with...

متن کاملIndividual differences in cognitive flexibility.
I s it better to be flexible, or persistent? A colleague once said that the secret to success in science is perseveration (no, not mere perseverence—that wouldn’t get you very far at all). Yet we all believe that the highest levels of cognitive function are associated with extreme flexibility—the ability to juggle many things at once and not get hung up on just one. Indeed, this ability to jugg...
متن کاملMental Arithmetic Efficiency: Interactivity and Individual Differences
Thinking efficiency as a function of interactivity was examined in a mental arithmetic task. Participants carried out single-digit additions, involving either 7 or 11 numbers, as fast and as accurately as possible. They completed the sums in blocks, five from the ‘easy’ set first, and five from the ‘hard’ set second. These sets were interpolated among a series of other tasks that measured numer...
