Yang, Xiujie; Yan, Mengge; Ruan, Yijun; Ku, Serena Yuk Yee; Lo, Jason Chor Ming; Peng, Peng; McBride, Catherine – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
The present study presents a meta-analysis of the relations between phonological processing abilities and different mathematics subskills. Using a random-effects model with 94 studies (135 unique samples, 826 effect sizes), the present meta-analysis revealed a significant general association between phonological processing and mathematics (average…

Yang, Xiujie; McBride, Catherine; Ho, Connie Suk-Han; Chung, Kevin Kien Hoa – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
This 13-month longitudinal study investigated whether different phonological processing components independently predicted individual differences in Chinese word reading and arithmetic. Three phonological processing skills [phonological awareness, phonological memory, and rapid automatized naming (RAN)], word reading, and arithmetic were assessed…

Wong, Simpson W. L.; Cheung, Him; Zheng, Mo; Yang, Xiujie; McBride, Catherine; Ho, Connie Suk-Han; Leung, Judy Sze-Man; Chow, Bonnie Wing-Yin; Waye, Mary Miu Yee – Child Development, 2020
Vocabulary knowledge was tested in a native (Cantonese-Chinese) and foreign (English) language in 150 twins and 150 singletons aged 6-11 years, matched on age, gender, grade level, nonverbal intelligence, parents' education, family income, and number of siblings and household members. The singletons clearly outperformed the twins on the native…
