Rational Number Understanding across Development and Mathematical Achievement
Direct linkDirect link
Sangmi Park – ProQuest LLC, 2023
A solid foundation in mathematics is beneficial not only for individuals' concurrent and later academic achievement, but also for future career success and financial stability. Rational number knowledge plays a pivotal role in mathematical success, yet it is often regarded as a challenging area to grasp comprehensively. The dissertation aims to…

Jenks, Kathleen M.; de Moor, Jan; van Lieshout, Ernest C. D. M. – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2009
Background: Although it is believed that children with cerebral palsy are at high risk for learning difficulties and arithmetic difficulties in particular, few studies have investigated this issue. Methods: Arithmetic ability was longitudinally assessed in children with cerebral palsy in special (n = 41) and mainstream education (n = 16) and…

Children's and Adults' Abilities To Use Episodic and Semantic Information To Derive Inferences.
Bourg, Tammy M.; And Others – 1987
A study investigated children's and adults' abilities to derive inferences requiring the integration of two episodic premises (episodic inferences) and inferences requiring the integration of one episodic premise with extra-stimulus, semantic knowledge. Subjects, 95 kindergarten, third grade, seventh grade, and college students, watched either an…

Schwantes, Frederick M. – 1983
Two experiments investigated the effects of preceding sentence context on the naming times of sentence completion words in third-grade children and college students. In the first study subjects were shown incomplete sentences with four types of target words: best completions; semantically and syntactically appropriate, but less likely completions;…

Contextual Effects across the Lifespan.
Byrd, Diana; And Others – 1984
Sixteen third grade students, 16 college students, and 16 older adults performed a lexical decision (word-nonword) task to determine age-related differences in the magnitude of contextual priming effects. Context length and target quality (intact versus degraded) were within subject manipulations. A significant Age X Context Length X…

The Development from Effortful to Automatic Processing in Mathematical Cognition.
Kaye, Daniel B.; And Others – 1981
This investigation capitalizes upon the information processing models that depend upon measurement of latency of response to a mathematical problem and the decomposition of reaction time (RT). Simple two term addition problems were presented with possible solutions for true-false verification, and accuracy and RT to response were recorded. Total…
