Direct linkPáchová, Anna; Vondrová, Nada – Research in Mathematics Education, 2021
Research has uncovered a semantic cue effect for short inconsistent word problems; the presence of functionally related objects makes them easier for pupils than the presence of categorically related ones. This study builds on this result by investigating other types of problems. Variants of problems differing in a semantic cue were solved by…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; Fuchs, Douglas; Seethaler, Pamela M.; Cutting, Laurie E.; Mancilla-Martinez, Jeannette – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2019
In this article, we discuss the approach adopted within the Vanderbilt University Learning Disabilities Innovation Hub, which focuses on students with higher-order comorbidity: students with concurrent difficulty with reading comprehension and word-problem solving. The aim of the Hub's Research Project is to test what we refer to as the…

Carruthers, Sarah; Stege, Ulrike – Journal of Problem Solving, 2013
This article is concerned with how computer science, and more exactly computational complexity theory, can inform cognitive science. In particular, we suggest factors to be taken into account when investigating how people deal with computational hardness. This discussion will address the two upper levels of Marr's Level Theory: the computational…
