Contribution of Finger Gnosia and Fine Motor Skills to Early Numerical and Arithmetic Abilities: New Insights from 3D Motion Analyses
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Neveu, Maëlle; Schwartz, Cédric; Vossius, Line; Rousselle, Laurence – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Finger gnosia and fine motor skills (FMS) are assumed to play a key role in the development of arithmetic abilities, but their contribution to early numerical skills (i.e., enumeration skills and cardinality) has received little attention so far. The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive value of finger gnosia and FMS to…

Desoete, Annemie; Baten, Elke – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2022
Several factors seem important to understand the nature of mathematical learning. Byrnes and Miller combined these factors into the Opportunity-Propensity model. In this study the model was used to predict the number-processing factor and the arithmetic fluency in grade 4 (n = 195) and grade 5 (n = 213). Gender, intelligence and affect (positive…

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…

Experiential Education in Kindergarten: Associations with School Adjustment and the Moderating Role of Initial Achievement
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

de Bilde, Jerissa; Boonen, Tinneke; Speybroeck, Sara; De Fraine, Bieke; Van Damme, Jan; Goos, Mieke – Elementary School Journal, 2015
Experiential education is a child-centered educational framework that is popular in Flemish kindergartens. In this study, the impact of five experiential practices (autonomy support, stimulation, emotional support, time for choice activities, and interest-based activities) and the moderating influence of initial achievement (language and…

Predicting Arithmetic Abilities: The Role of Preparatory Arithmetic Markers and Intelligence
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Stock, Pieter; Desoete, Annemie; Roeyers, Herbert – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2009
Arithmetic abilities acquired in kindergarten are found to be strong predictors for later deficient arithmetic abilities. This longitudinal study (N = 684) was designed to examine if it was possible to predict the level of children's arithmetic abilities in first and second grade from their performance on preparatory arithmetic abilities in…

Classification, Seriation, and Counting in Grades 1, 2, and 3 as Two-Year Longitudinal Predictors for Low Achieving in Numerical Facility and Arithmetical Achievement?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Desoete, Annemie; Stock, Pieter; Schepens, Annemie; Baeyens, Dieter; Roeyers, Herbert – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2009
Previous research stresses the importance of seriation, classification, and counting abilities that should be assessed in kindergarten, when looking for crucial predictors of mathematical learning disabilities in Grade 1. This study examines (n = 158) two-year-long predictive relationships between children's seriation, classification, procedural…
