While symbolic number processing is an important correlate for typical and low mathematics achievement, it remains to be determined whether children with high mathematics achievement also have excellent symbolic number processing abilities. We investigated this question in 64 children (aged 8 to 10), i.e., 32 children with persistent high…

The assumption that (early) attendance of universal pre-school enhances the future academic performance of pupils with lower socio-economic and/or immigrant backgrounds underlies many education policies in Europe. The purpose of this study is to assess this assumption for Flanders -- a case characterised by near-general enrolment and a…

Bakker, Merel; Torbeyns, Joke; Verschaffel, Lieven; De Smedt, Bert – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Many studies in the past decades have focused on low and typical mathematics achievers, yet little is known about children with high mathematics achievement, particularly at a young age. The current study aimed to fill this gap and started from the early work of Krutetskii (1976) as a theoretical lens to study the characteristics of high…

Degrande, Tine; Verschaffel, Lieven; Van Dooren, Wim – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
Both additive and proportional reasoning are types of quantitative analogical (QA) reasoning. We investigated the development and nature of primary school children's QA reasoning by offering two missing-value word problems to 3rd to 6th graders. In one problem, ratios between given numbers were integer, in the other ratios were non-integer. These…

Herman, Juliana; Post, Sasha; O'Halloran, Scott – Center for American Progress, 2013
Early childhood education and school readiness is essential to preparing children to succeed in an increasingly competitive global economy. Compared to other countries, however, the United States lags far behind on preschool, trailing a number of other countries in enrollment, investment, and quality. In February 2013, however, President Barack…
