Desoete, Annemie; Praet, Magda; Titeca, Daisy; Ceulemans, Annelies – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
The sensitivity of number sense as cognitive phenotype for mathematical learning disabilities (MLD) was assessed in siblings of children with MLD (n = 9) and age matched children without family members with MLD (n = 63). A number line estimation paradigm was used as a measure of children's early number sense. In line with the triple code model of…

Desoete, Annemie; Ceulemans, Annelies; De Weerdt, Frauke; Pieters, Stefanie – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2012
Background: The ability to compare numbers, as the most basic form of number sense, has been related to arithmetical achievement. Aims: The current study addressed the predictive value of non-symbolic and symbolic (number word (NW) and Arabic number (AN)) comparison for arithmetics by means of a longitudinal design. Sample: Sixteen children with…

Stock, Pieter; Desoete, Annemie; Roeyers, Herbert – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2010
In a 3-year longitudinal study, 471 children were classified, based on their performances on arithmetic tests in first and second grade, as having persistent arithmetic disabilities (AD), persistent low achieving (LA), persistent typical achieving, inconsistent arithmetic disabilities (DF1), or inconsistent low achieving in arithmetic. Significant…

Noel, Marie-Pascale – Developmental Psychology, 2009
In this study, the author aimed at measuring how much limited working memory capacity constrains early numerical development before any formal mathematics instruction. To that end, 4- and 5-year-old children were tested for their memory skills in the phonological loop (PL), visuo-spatial sketchpad (VSSP), and central executive (CE); they also…
