Singer, Vivian; Strasser, Kathernie – School Psychology Quarterly, 2017
Many studies of school achievement find a significant association between reading and arithmetic achievement. The magnitude of the association varies widely across the studies, but the sources of this variation have not been identified. The purpose of this paper is to examine the magnitude and determinants of the relation between arithmetic and…

Greiffenhagen, Christian; Sharrock, Wes – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2008
In the last three decades there have been a variety of studies of what is often referred to as "everyday" or "street" mathematics. These studies have documented a rich variety of arithmetic practices involved in activities such as tailoring, carpet laying, dieting, or grocery shopping. More importantly, these studies have helped to rectify…

Varma, Sashank; Schwartz, Daniel L. – Educational Research, 2008
Background: There is increasing interest in applying neuroscience findings to topics in education. Purpose: This application requires a proper conceptualization of the relation between cognition and brain function. This paper considers two such conceptualizations. The area focus understands each cognitive competency as the product of one (and only…

Gray, Eddie; Tall, David – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2007
This paper considers mathematical abstraction as arising through a natural mechanism of the biological brain in which complicated phenomena are compressed into thinkable concepts. The neurons in the brain continually fire in parallel and the brain copes with the saturation of information by the simple expedient of suppressing irrelevant data and…

Klein, Alice; Starkey, Prentice – New Directions for Child Development, 1988
Presents a three-component model of arithmetical development in young children. Applies this model as a basis for analysis of developmental processes in early mathematics learning that may be universal. (RJC)

Ryan, Ellen Bouchard; And Others – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1986
The review examines cognitive strategy training and self-instructional training with learning disabled children. Discrepancies between potential and performance, cognitive behavior modification, the promotion of active self-regulatory learning styles in arithmetic and reading, and methodological issues and future directions are discussed.…

Nesher, Pearla – American Psychologist, 1986
In the study of mathematics instruction the focus has changed from the outcomes of learning to the cognitive processes involved in mathematics learning. This new emphasis presents a serious challenge for curriculum design, but it may also lead to more success for students in learning mathematics. (Author/VM)

Garnett, Katherine – Learning Disabilities Research and Practice, 1992
Insights from both cognitive psychology and learning disabilities intervention research are presented to improve understanding of the processes by which number fact fluency develops. Discussion includes assessment guidelines and learning strategies such as counting all, counting on, and alternative groupings. (Author/JDD)

Fletcher, Jack M; Loveland, Katherine A. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1986
The nature of arithmetic disabilities in children is discussed first in this review. Then research studies are reported, classified by cognitive and neuropsychological studies and social competency studies. Finally, suggestions for remediation are provided. (MNS)
