The foundations of numerical and mathematical abilities: A literature review
We constantly use numbers in our everyday lives, from estimating how long it will take us to get from A to B to being able to use numerical information to make financial decision. How do we acquire these numerical and mathematical skills? The present paper reviews evidence from studies with animals, infants, children and adults using both neuroscientific and behavioral methods (such as the meas...
متن کاملAre Individual Differences in Arithmetic Fact Retrieval in Children Related to Inhibition?
Although it has been proposed that inhibition is related to individual differences in mathematical achievement, it is not clear how it is related to specific aspects of mathematical skills, such as arithmetic fact retrieval. The present study therefore investigated the association between inhibition and arithmetic fact retrieval and further examined the unique role of inhibition in individual d...
متن کاملTrajectories of Symbolic and Nonsymbolic Magnitude Processing in the First Year of Formal Schooling
Sensitivity to numerical magnitudes is thought to provide a foundation for higher-level mathematical skills such as calculation. It is still unclear how symbolic (e.g. Arabic digits) and nonsymbolic (e.g. Dots) magnitude systems develop and how the two formats relate to one another. Some theories propose that children learn the meaning of symbolic numbers by scaffolding them onto a pre-existing...
متن کاملDevelopmental changes in the association between approximate number representations and addition skills in elementary school children
The approximate number system (ANS) is assumingly related to mathematical learning but evidence supporting this assumption is mixed. The inconsistent findings might be attributed to the fact that different measures have been used to assess the ANS and mathematical skills. Moreover, associations between the performance on a measure of the ANS and mathematical skills may be discontinuous, i.e., s...
متن کاملA Sense of Order: Numerical ordering ability predicts complex mental arithmetic performance
What are the key cognitive factors that characterize the potential difference between symbolic and nonsymbolic representations of numerical magnitude, and can individual variability in such factors be used to predict differences in more complex mathematical processes? We suggest that the availability of information about relative numerical order is a critical factor that distinguishes symbolic ...
