Differential Contribution of Specific Working Memory Components to Mathematics Achievement in 2nd and 3rd Graders
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Meyer, M. L.; Salimpoor, V. N.; Wu, S. S.; Geary, D. C.; Menon, V. – Learning and Individual Differences, 2010
The contribution of the three core components of working memory (WM) to the development of mathematical skills in young children is poorly understood. The relation between specific WM components and Numerical Operations, which emphasize computation and fact retrieval, and Mathematical Reasoning, which emphasizes verbal problem solving abilities in…

Spelling and Word Recognition in Grades 1 and 2: Relations to Phonological Awareness and Naming Speed in Dutch Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Verhagen, Wim G. M.; Aarnoutse, Cor A. J.; van Leeuwe, Jan F. J – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2010
The influences of early phonological awareness and naming speed on Dutch children's later word spelling were investigated in a longitudinal study. Phonological awareness and naming speed predicted spelling in early Grade 1, later Grade 1, and later Grade 2. Phonological awareness, however, predominated over naming speed for the prediction of early…

Cahan, Sorel; Greenbaum, Charles; Artman, Lavee; Deluya, Nilly; Gappel-Gilon, Yael – Cognitive Development, 2008
Using the ''between-grade levels'' regression discontinuity design, this study examined the hypothesized differential sensitivity of logico-mathematical (LM) and infralogical (IL) operational tasks to the effects of chronological age and first grade schooling in a sample of 580 1st and 2nd grade Israeli children. The results indicate that the…

The Relation between DIBELS, Reading Comprehension, and Vocabulary in Urban First-Grade Students
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Riedel, Brant W. – Reading Research Quarterly, 2007
The relation between Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) and reading comprehension at the end of first grade and second grade was examined in a sample of 1,518 first-grade students from a large urban school district. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analyses were used to determine optimal DIBELS cut scores for…

The Differential Predictive Validity of the Initial Skills Analysis: Reading Screening Tests for K-3
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Pomplun, Mark – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2004
The present study investigated the differential predictive validity of the Initial Skills Analysis. In the fall, these reading screening tests were administered to students in Grades K to 3. In the spring, a series of reading outcomes tests were administered to these same students, and teachers provided judgments of the students' reading skills.…

Do Parents' Causal Attributions Predict the Accuracy and Bias in Their Children's Self-Concept of Maths Ability? A Longitudinal Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Rytkonen, Katja; Aunola, Kaisa; Nurmi, Jari-Erik – Educational Psychology, 2007
The present study investigated the extent to which parents' causal attributions predict the accuracy of, and bias in, their children's self-concept of maths ability. Participants were 207 children and their 182 mothers and 167 fathers, who were assessed during the children's first and second primary school years. The results showed that the more…
