Fuchs, Lynn; Fuchs, Douglas; Seethaler, Pamela M.; Barnes, Marcia A. – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
The focus of this article is the well documented association between low working memory capacity and difficulty with mathematical word-problem solving. We begin by describing a model that specifies how various cognitive resources, including working memory, contribute to individual differences in word-problem solving and by then summarizing…
