Too Anxious to Be Confident? A Panel Longitudinal Study into the Interplay of Mathematics Anxiety and Metacognitive Monitoring in Arithmetic Achievement
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bellon, Elien; Fias, Wim; De Smedt, Bert – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Both mathematics anxiety and metacognitive monitoring have been identified as associated with or predictive of individual differences in arithmetic achievement in primary school children. Although there are various theoretical reasons for an association between mathematics anxiety and metacognitive monitoring, it is unclear at the empirical level…

Number Knowledge and the Approximate Number System Are Two Critical Foundations for Early Arithmetic Development
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Malone, Stephanie A.; Burgoyne, Kelly; Hulme, Charles – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
We assessed a range of theoretically critical predictors (numerosity discrimination, number knowledge, counting, language, executive function and finger gnosis) of early arithmetic development in a large unselected sample of 569 children at school entry. Assessments were repeated 12 months later. Although all predictors (except finger gnosis) were…

The Contribution of General Cognitive Abilities and Specific Number Skills toward Arithmetic Performance in Students with Mild Intellectual Disability
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Soltani, Amanallah; Mirhosseini, Sanaz – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2020
General cognitive and specific number abilities that underlay arithmetic performance have been heavily investigated among typically developing students; however, the inquiry has rarely been applied to students with mild intellectual disability (MID). We examined whether domain-general cognitive abilities (i.e. working memory, processing speed, and…

Cognitive and Linguistic Predictors of Basic Arithmetic Skills: Evidence from First-Language and Second-Language Learners
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kleemans, Tijs; Segers, Eliane; Verhoeven, Ludo – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2014
The present study investigated the role of both cognitive and linguistic predictors in basic arithmetic skills (i.e., addition and subtraction) in 69 first-language (L1) learners and 60 second-language (L2) learners from the second grade of primary schools in the Netherlands. All children were tested on non-verbal intelligence, working memory,…

Number Processing and Heterogeneity of Developmental Dyscalculia: Subtypes with Different Cognitive Profiles and Deficits
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Skagerlund, Kenny; Träff, Ulf – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2016
This study investigated if developmental dyscalculia (DD) in children with different profiles of mathematical deficits has the same or different cognitive origins. The defective approximate number system hypothesis and the access deficit hypothesis were tested using two different groups of children with DD (11-13 years old): a group with…

Effects of Three Interventions on the Reading Skills of Children with Reading Disabilities in Grade 2
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Gustafson, Stefan; Falth, Linda; Svensson, Idor; Tjus, Tomas; Heimann, Mikael – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2011
In a longitudinal intervention study, the effects of three intervention strategies on the reading skills of children with reading disabilities in Grade 2 were analyzed. The interventions consisted of computerized training programs: One bottom-up intervention aimed at improving word decoding skills and phonological abilities, the second…
