Direct linkDecarli, Gisella; Zingaro, Donatella; Surian, Luca; Piazza, Manuela – Developmental Science, 2023
Preverbal infants spontaneously represent the number of objects in collections. Is this 'sense of number' (also referred to as Approximate Number System, ANS) part of the cognitive foundations of mathematical skills? Multiple studies reported a correlation between the ANS and mathematical achievement in children. However, some have suggested that…

Starr, Ariel; Leib, Elena R.; Younger, Jessica W.; Project iLead Consortium; Uncapher, Melina R.; Bunge, Silvia A. – Developmental Science, 2023
Relational thinking, the ability to represent abstract, generalizable relations, is a core component of reasoning and human cognition. Relational thinking contributes to fluid reasoning and academic achievement, particularly in the domain of math. However, due to the complex nature of many fluid reasoning tasks, it has been difficult to determine…

Wilkey, Eric D.; Shanley, Lina; Sabb, Fred; Ansari, Daniel; Cohen, Jason C.; Men, Virany; Heller, Nicole A.; Clarke, Ben – Developmental Science, 2022
Children's ability to discriminate nonsymbolic number (e.g., the number of items in a set) is a commonly studied predictor of later math skills. Number discrimination improves throughout development, but what drives this improvement is unclear. Competing theories suggest that it may be due to a sharpening numerical representation or an improved…

Albert, W. Dustin; Hanson, Jamie L.; Skinner, Ann T.; Dodge, Kenneth A.; Steinberg, Laurence; Deater-Deckard, Kirby; Bornstein, Marc H.; Lansford, Jennifer E. – Developmental Science, 2020
Children from families with low socioeconomic status (SES) earn lower grades, perform worse on achievement tests, and attain less education on average than their peers from higher-SES families. We evaluated neurocognitive mediators of SES disparities in achievement in a diverse sample of youth whose data were linked to administrative records of…

Finn, Amy S.; Minas, Jennifer E.; Leonard, Julia A.; Mackey, Allyson P.; Salvatore, John; Goetz, Calvin; West, Martin R.; Gabrieli, Christopher F. O.; Gabrieli, John D. E. – Developmental Science, 2017
Working memory (WM) capacity reflects executive functions associated with performance on a wide range of cognitive tasks and education outcomes, including mathematics achievement, and is associated with dorsolateral prefrontal and parietal cortices. Here we asked if family income is associated with variation in the functional brain organization of…

van Marle, Kristy; Chu, Felicia W.; Li, Yaoran; Geary, David C. – Developmental Science, 2014
The study assessed the relations among acuity of the inherent approximate number system (ANS), performance on measures of symbolic quantitative knowledge, and mathematics achievement for a sample of 138 (64 boys) preschoolers. The Weber fraction (a measure of ANS acuity) and associated task accuracy were significantly correlated with mathematics…

Rose, Susan A.; Feldman, Judith F.; Jankowski, Jeffery J. – Developmental Science, 2011
This study identified deficits in executive functioning in pre-adolescent preterms and modeled their role, along with processing speed, in explaining preterm/full-term differences in reading and mathematics. Preterms (less than 1750 g) showed deficits at 11 years on a battery of tasks tapping the three basic executive functions identified by…
