Individual differences in mathematical cognition: a Bert's eye view

The developmental literature has revealed a wide variety of factors that correlate with individual differences in mathematical cognition. These have been classified along the simple distinction between domain-specific and domain-general factors. Here, I review series recent meta-analyses summarized existing evidence for each these separately. all to similar extent mathematics. correlations are special populations, such as dyscalculia. relative contributions remain after some control other A nascent body suggests associations domain-specific/domain-general performance bi-directional. Future studies should therefore investigate concert through carefully designed longitudinal studies. • Domain-specific math extent. Associations struggling learners (dyscalculia). Emerging suggest bidirectionality mathematics its predictors. Theory-informed needed understand mechanisms.
