It is commonly accepted that repeatedly using mental procedures results in a transition to memory retrieval, but the determinant of this process is still unclear. In a 3-week experiment, we compared two different learning situations involving basic additions, one based on counting and the other based on arithmetic fact memorization. Two groups of…

Wittmann, Michael C.; Black, Katrina E. – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2015
Students learning to separate variables in order to solve a differential equation have multiple ways of correctly doing so. The procedures involved in "separation" include "division" or "multiplication" after properly "grouping" terms in an equation, "moving" terms (again, at times grouped) from…

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…

Yost, David – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2008
A derivative is the limit of a quotient. It is an abstraction of division. Since division is harder to understand than multiplication, teachers teach it later, hopefully only after a sound understanding of multiplication has been attained. For the same reason, it may make sense to teach integration first, and move on to differential calculus only…

Imbo, Ineke; LeFevre, Jo-Anne – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2009
In the present study, the authors tested the effects of working-memory load on math problem solving in 3 different cultures: Flemish-speaking Belgians, English-speaking Canadians, and Chinese-speaking Chinese currently living in Canada. Participants solved complex addition problems (e.g., 58 + 76) in no-load and working-memory load conditions, in…

Torbeyns, Joke; De Smedt, Bert; Stassens, Nick; Ghesquiere, Pol; Verschaffel, Lieven – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2009
Subtraction problems of the type a - b = ? can be "flexibly" solved by various strategies, including the indirect addition strategy ("how much do I have to add to b to get at a?"). Little research has been done on the use of the indirect addition strategy with multi-digit numbers. The present literature review entails a summary…
