The Role of Experience in Numerical Skill: Multiplication Performance in Adults from Canada and China.

LeFevre, Jo-Anne; Liu, Jing

Mathematical Cognition, v3 n1 p31-62 1997

Examines adults from China and Canada solving single-digit multiplication problems. Reports that Chinese adults were faster and made fewer errors than Canadian adults, and Chinese adults made more errors that reflect verbal-production processes that may occur after retrieval whereas Canadian adults made more errors that reflect retrieval processes.
