Robert, Nicole D.; LeFevre, Jo-Anne – Research in Mathematics Education, 2013
Does solving subtraction problems with negative answers (e.g., 5-14) require different cognitive processes than solving problems with positive answers (e.g., 14-5)? In a dual-task experiment, young adults (N=39) combined subtraction with two working memory tasks, verbal memory and visual-spatial memory. All of the subtraction problems required…

Hegarty, Mary; Keehner, Madeleine; Khooshabeh, Peter; Montello, Daniel R. – Learning and Individual Differences, 2009
In two studies with a total of 324 participants, dentistry students were assessed on psychometric measures of spatial ability, reasoning ability, and on new measures of the ability to infer the appearance of a cross-section of a three-dimensional (3-D) object. We examined how these abilities and skills predict success in dental education programs,…
