Stability of math anxiety and its relation with math performance over time: A meta-analysis of longitudinal studies
Mathematics anxiety (MA), characterized by tension, nervousness, and worry during mathematical activities, is consistently associated with lower mathematical performance (MP) across cultures. Understanding the nature of MA requires determining the stability of its individual differences and addressing the longstanding question of whether MA precedes MP, MP precedes MA, or if they influence each other reciprocally. This meta-analysis synthesized e…
Age-related differences in creative cognition: The mediating role of executive functions and associative processes
Collaborative encoding with a new categorization task: A contribution to collaborative memory research
Collaborative memory research has focused primarily on the effects of collaboration at recall with collaboration during encoding receiving less attention. In the present study, collaboration was investigated both at encoding and at retrieval to determine its effects and possible interactions. The aim was to clarify whether the collaborative inhibition effect depended on whether the encoding was with the same or with a different partner. A total o…
False Beliefs about Mathematics in Spanish Pre-Service Teachers and Relations with Math Anxiety
Teachers may hold beliefs about how students learn mathematics and about the subject itself. However, some of these beliefs, often referred to as “math myths”, may be oversimplified ideas that appear valid but lack solid scientific evidence. This study was aimed to investigate the prevalence of math myths among Spanish pre-service teachers and compare it with the degree of support for these myths reported in previous studies; investigate the poss…
Metacognition in working memory: Confidence judgments during an n-back task
Metacognition in working memory (WM) has received less attention than episodic memory, and few studies have investigated confidence judgements while carrying out a verbal WM task. The present study investigated whether individuals are aware of their own level of performance while carrying out an ongoing verbal WM task, and whether judgments of confidence are sensitive to factors that determine WM performance. A verbal n-back task was adapted to o…
Math anxiety and math performance in children: The mediating roles of working memory and math self-concept
BackgroundNumerous studies, most of them involving adolescents and adults, have evidenced a moderate negative relationship between math anxiety and math performance. There are, however, a limited number of studies that have addressed the mechanisms underlying this relation.AimsThis study aimed to investigate the role of two possible mediational mechanisms between math anxiety and math performance. Specifically, we sought to test the simultaneous …
Which factors influence number updating in working memory? The effects of size distance and suppression
Updating information in working memory is a critical process which makes possible to have available, at every moment, the information most relevant for mind operations. However, the specific mechanisms underlying the updating process have rarely been analysed. This paper examines the importance of two of the mechanisms implicated in a numerical updating task: item comparison and item substitution. The item comparison mechanism was studied by mani…
