Mascia, Maria Lidia; Perrone, Simona; Bardi, Dianora; Agus, Mirian; Penna, Maria Pietronilla; Lucangeli, Daniela – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2018
A consistent part of the literature shows the significant role of digital experience in digital natives' cognitive processes. The main goal of the current study was to investigate the impact of digital learning on the improvement of mathematical skills and on some change in cognitive processes in 166 primary school children from schools located in…

Baccaglini-Frank, Anna; Antonini, Samuele; Robotti, Elisabetta; Santi, George – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
This study gives insights into how Logo-like microworlds can affect cognitive development related to mathematics education of students with math learning difficulties. In particular, we analyse the case of a 15-year-old student with dyslexia and severe dyscalculia. Among the various cognitive aspects involved, here we delve into the development of…

Morra, Sergio – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 1994
Two studies on M-capacity found factor-analytical and correlational evidence that five M-capacity tests share a common source of variance and that, as subjects' increase in age, scores increase at a similar rate. Results suggest that, in the 6-11 age range, M-capacity can be measured with a battery of tests. (AA)

Sabena, Cristina – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2004
The paper reports on a case study from a teaching experiment on the construction of meaning of integral at secondary school level, starting from the cognitive root of area. In the considered activity, students are faced with some graphs of functions and are asked to work in group to trace the corresponding integral functions. The analysis…

Longoni, Anna M.; Scalisi, T. G. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 1994
Four experiments investigated phonemic and visual similarity effects in 5- and 10-year olds. Results suggested that young children rely on modality-dependent codes, which are probably automatically activated, and do not use a speech-based memory code for drawings and words. This pattern of findings appeared to be independent of culture and…

Cartiglia, Marco; Furinghetti, Fulvia; Paola, Domingo – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2004
In this paper we report on some patterns of reasoning, which emerged during an activity of proving a mathematical statement performed by nine grade and university mathematics students. The statement in question involves drawing figures, working in arithmetic and in algebra. As for secondary students we detected fluency, flexibility and ability of…
