Heterogeneity in Mathematical Difficulties
Mathematics is a diverse discipline that requires a variety of cognitive abilities and presents varying levels of difficulty. Understanding how different cognitive profiles relate to specific patterns of mathematical performance is important for developing effective educational interventions. This study extends our previous research, in which we identified subgroups of children with mathematical difficulties based on their cognitive abilities. We…
Developmental paths of the associations between visuospatial working memory and numerical processing
The present study examines the role of spatial abilities in numerical processing in children using an application administered on parents’ smartphones. The study comprised four tasks: (1) spatial short-term memory (2) spatial working memory (3) non-symbolic comparison, and (4) symbolic comparison. A total of 541 children performed all four tasks (mean age = 6.41, SD = 4.05), and a conjunction analysis was conducted on the data collected from all …
Heterogeneity in mathematics
Mathematical performance relies on multiple cognitive components, including numerical understanding, language comprehension, and working memory. Although children experiencing mathematical difficulties (MD) share common challenges, their underlying cognitive profiles vary considerably. Understanding this cognitive diversity is important for developing targeted assessment and intervention. This study aims to identify and characterize distinct cogn…
Dissociations between short and long-term effects of coronavirus pandemic closures
Short-Term and Long-Term Effects of Covid-19 and Remote Learning
Background: Over the last three years, many studies have explored the effect of pandemic closures on learning. However, in Israel, the perspectives of parents on the short- and long-term effects of the lockdowns on students with mathematical learning disabilities (MD), have rarely been examined. Method: To fill this gap, MD (n = 33) or typically developing (n = 50) children were selected. They were in the 1st and 2nd grades during the closures, a…
Mathematical anxiety is associated with reduced visuospatial working memory
The attentional control theory posits that anxiety may shift attention towards threatening stimuli and/or affect general attentional control mechanisms. The spatial theory suggests that mathematical anxiety (MA) originates from weakness in spatial processing mechanisms such as visuospatial working memory. Accordingly, MA may negatively influence (1) attentional mechanisms in anxious states and/or (2) general attentional control or working memory …
The role of development in the relationship between symbolic and non-symbolic numeric representations
The role of domain general factors (spatial, executive function, working memory, attention and fine motor skills) in numerical processing in early childhood
Developmental trajectories of strategy use in children with mathematical anxiety
The main goal of the present study was to explore strategy selection in high mathematical anxiety (MA) individuals, and to test the role of development in the selection of strategy. We tested 2nd, 3rd and 5th graders with high or low MA in simple and complex addition problems. Participants first solved the problems and were then asked to report the strategy that they used. During elementary school, typically developing children change strategy us…
