Resnick, Ilyse; Newcombe, Nora; Goldwater, Micah – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
There is strong evidence from research conducted in the United States that fraction magnitude understanding supports mathematics achievement. Unfortunately, there has been little research that examines if this relation is present across educational contexts with different approaches to teaching fractions. The current study compared fourth and…

Stephens, Rachel G.; Dunn, John C.; Hayes, Brett K. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
When asked to determine whether a syllogistic argument is deductively valid, people are influenced by their prior beliefs about the believability of the conclusion. Recently, two competing explanations for this belief bias effect have been proposed, each based on signal detection theory (SDT). Under a response bias explanation, people set more…

Vista, Alvin – Cogent Education, 2016
There are relatively few studies in Australia and South-East Asian region that combine investigating models of math growth trajectories with predictors such as reasoning ability and reading comprehension skills. Math achievement is one of the major components of overall academic achievement and it is important to determine what factors (especially…
