Tenison, Caitlin; Anderson, John R. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
A focus of early mathematics education is to build fluency through practice. Several models of skill acquisition have sought to explain the increase in fluency because of practice by modeling both the learning mechanisms driving this speedup and the changes in cognitive processes involved in executing the skill (such as transitioning from…

Campbell, Jamie I. D.; Robert, Nicole D. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2008
A variety of experimental evidence indicates that the memory representation for multiplication facts (e.g., 6 [times] 9 = 54) incorporates bidirectional links with a forward association from factors to product and a reverse association from product to factors. Surprisingly, the authors did not find evidence in Experiment 1 of facilitative…

Oberauer, Klaus – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2005
Two experiments investigated whether young and old adults can temporarily remove information from a capacity-limited central component of working memory (WM) into another component, the activated part of long-term memory (LTM). Experiment 1 used a modified Sternberg recognition task (S. Sternberg, 1969); Experiment 2 used an arithmetic…
