Ordinal processing in children with mathematics learning disabilities
The present study examined whether a numerical order processing deficiency is a key factor underlying mathematics learning disabilities (MLD) in children, or whether children with MLD have a general ordinal processing deficiency. Twenty-one children with MLD were tested and compared to 32 children without MLD on three ordinal tasks (numbers, letters, lines), and two number magnitude tasks. The results demonstrate that children with MLD have a gen…
The importance of domain-specific number abilities and domain-general cognitive abilities for early arithmetic achievement and development
BackgroundChildren's numerical and arithmetic skills differ greatly already at an early age. Although research focusing on accounting for these large individual differences clearly demonstrates that mathematical performance draws upon several cognitive abilities, our knowledge concerning key abilities underlying mathematical skill development is still limited.AimsFirst, to identify key cognitive abilities contributing to children's development of…
Decision‐making competence and cognitive abilities
Decision‐making competence is a skill that is associated with numerous positive life outcomes. Even though multiple cognitive abilities have been shown to predict decision‐making competence, few studies have incorporated a large test battery tapping into several cognitive abilities concurrently in the same models. The current paper presents a study that sought to investigate which cognitive abilities predicted overall decision‐making competence i…
Competence, Confidence, and Gender
We studied the association of individual differences in objective financial knowledge (i.e. competence), subjective financial knowledge (i.e. confidence), numeric ability, and cognitive reflection on a broad set of financial behaviors and feelings towards financial matters. We used a large diverse sample (N = 2063) of the adult Swedish population. We found that both objective and subjective financial knowledge predicted frequent engagement in sou…
Kindergarten domain-specific and domain-general cognitive precursors of hierarchical mathematical development
This study examined cognitive precursors of hierarchical mathematical development. Six-year-old children (n = 258) were assessed on number skills, cognitive skills, and arithmetic 1 year prior to school entry. Skills in advanced arithmetic and advanced mathematics were assessed in Grades 3 and 6, respectively. Path analyses were computed and provided longitudinal evidence for a hierarchy of mathematics. During development, the reliance on prior s…
Does self-control predict financial behavior and financial well-being?
To improve our understanding of how people make financial decisions, it is important to investigate what psychological characteristics influence individuals’ positive financial behavior and financial well-being. In this study, we explore the effect of individual differences in self-control and other non-cognitive factors on financial behavior and financial well-being. A survey containing measures of financial behavior, subjective financial well-b…
Pathways to arithmetic fact retrieval and percentage calculation in adolescents
There are both similarities and differences in the cognitive mechanisms underlying arithmetic fact retrieval and percentage calculation in adolescents. Adolescents' symbolic-number processing, arithmetic fact retrieval, and percentage calculation continue to rely on the linguistic pathways, whereas the reliance upon the spatial pathway has ceased. The reliance upon the quantitative pathway varies depending on the task
