Li, Liang; Disney, Leigh – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2023
In the literature in recent years, a number of developmental studies have demonstrated the importance of children entering the school environment with a solid foundation of mathematical content knowledge and argued that problem solving, as an important mathematical process, should be acknowledged in early childhood mathematical education. However,…

Preverbal infants spontaneously represent the number of objects in collections. Is this 'sense of number' (also referred to as Approximate Number System, ANS) part of the cognitive foundations of mathematical skills? Multiple studies reported a correlation between the ANS and mathematical achievement in children. However, some have suggested that…

Abolghasem, Zahra; Teng, Tiffany H.-T.; Nexha, Elida; Zhu, Cherrie; Jean, Cindy S.; Castrillon, Mariana; Che, Eric; Di Nallo, Eva V.; Schlichting, Margaret L. – Developmental Science, 2023
Even once children can accurately remember their experiences, they nevertheless struggle to use those memories in flexible new ways--as in when drawing inferences. However, it remains an open question as to whether the developmental differences observed during both memory formation and inference itself represent a fundamental limitation on…

Parkin, Jason R.; Hajovsky, Daniel B.; Alfonso, Vincent C. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2023
Although phonemic awareness is an essential skill in learning to decode written words, practitioners may question which phonemic awareness tasks best operationalize their relationship with orthographic mapping, the process that converts a decoded word into one instantly recognized on sight. Tests from the "Woodcock-Johnson IV" were used…

Lane, Jonathan D.; Ronfard, Samuel – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
For decades, developmental psychologists and educators have emphasized that learning about counterintuitive phenomena may be a critical driving force for cognitive development. Thus far, little is known about the specific content that children seek to enrich their knowledge. Using a novel book-choice paradigm, we directly examine children's…
