Interactivity and Individual Differences in Mental Arithmetic
Symposium: Advances in Thinking, Problem Solving and Creativity: A Festschrift for Kenneth J. Gilhooly Organiser: Linden Ball Rationale: Since the 1970s Ken Gilhooly has made major and lasting contributions to the fields of thinking, problem solving and creativity through his research on topics such as the role of working memory and individual differences in reasoning and planning, the processe...
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...
متن کاملInteractivity, Expertise and Individual Differences in Mental Arithmetic
Participants completed long single digit sums in two interactivity contexts. In a low interactivity condition sums were solved with hands down. In a second, high interactivity condition participants used moveable tokens. As expected accuracy and efficiency was greater in the high compared to the low interactivity condition. In addition, participants were profiled in terms of working memory capa...
متن کاملIndividual 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 کاملThe hands that guide the thinking: Interactivity in mental arithmetic
Whether it is in mining distal cultural influences or using more proximal artefacts, problem solving in the wild routinely scaffolds on the basis of interacting with resources outside the head. Individuals often gesture, point or use objects as an aid to solving quotidian arithmetic problems. Interactivity has been linked to better performance in problem solving, possibly due to a more efficien...
