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...

Evidence for the use of both models and r...
