Cai, Dan; Zhao, Jing; Chen, Zhijun; Liu, Di – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2023
Executive function (EF) training has shown promise for remedying general EF deficiencies faced by students with mathematics difficulty (MD) and for improving their performance. However, latest research also suggests that the instant and sustained effects of EF training remain inconsistent. In this study, 32 Chinese students with MD, age 7 to 10…
