Cognitive and Affective-Emotional Factors in Math Achievement: The Mediating Role of Intelligence
In this study, we aimed to investigate the cognitive and affective-emotional factors underlying math achievement in a sample of 169 Japanese elementary school children. Using structural equation modeling, we examined the contributions of fluid and crystallized intelligence, verbal and spatial working memory, and affective-emotional variables, including general anxiety, test anxiety, math anxiety, and math self-efficacy. We found intelligence to b…
The Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale ( Amas ): Applicability and Utility in a Sample of Japanese Elementary School Children
Math anxiety negatively affects math performance and future career choices in math‐related fields. Various tools assess math anxiety, but the Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (AMAS) is noteworthy for its ease of administration and good psychometric properties. This study evaluates the AMAS's applicability and utility in a sample of approximately 170 Japanese elementary‐school children. Findings indicate that the Japanese version of the AMAS has ver…
Parenting stress in autism: Do children’s characteristics still count more than stressors related to the Covid-19 pandemic
Structure of working memory in children from 3 to 8 years old
Several models of working memory (WM) have been proposed in the literature. Most of the research on the architecture of WM is based on adults or older children, but less is known about younger children. In this study, we tested various models of WM on a sample of 739 Italian children, ranging in age from 3 to 8 years, primarily of European heritage and from medium to medium-high socioeconomic background. Participants were assessed with 12 WM task…
Association between Exposure to Particulate Matter during Pregnancy and Multidimensional Development in School-Age Children: A Cross-Sectional Study in Italy
Air pollutants can potentially affect the development of children. However, data on the effect of exposure to air pollution during pregnancy and developmental outcomes in school children are rare. We investigated the link between prenatal exposure to particulate matters smaller than 10 microns (PM 10 ) and the development of school-age children in multiple domains. Cross-sectional data were collected in Italy between 2013 and 2014. Children aged …
Domain-specific and domain-general precursors of mathematical achievement: A longitudinal study from kindergarten to first grade
Background. Many contributing factors, both domain specific and domain general, influence children's performance in school achievement.Aims. This research aims to verify the importance of kindergarten measures of cognitive abilities and numerical competence in the role of predicting mathematical school achievement at the end of first grade.Sample and Methods. A total of 70 children (38 females and 32 males) took part in the study. We tested the c…
