Whether Verbal and Visuospatial Working Memory Play Different Roles in Pupil's Mathematical Abilities
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Liang, Zhanhong; Dong, Peiqi; Zhou, Yanlin; Feng, Shanshan; Zhang, Qiong – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Background: Previous research showed a significant association between mathematics and working memory (WM). However, evidence regarding the different effects of verbal and visuospatial WM on mathematical abilities was very limited. Aims: The current research aims to explore the relationship between verbal and visuospatial WM with mathematical…

Becker, Derek R.; Miao, Alicia; Duncan, Robert; McClelland, Megan M. – Grantee Submission, 2014
The present study explored direct and interactive effects between behavioral self-regulation (SR) and two measures of executive function (EF, inhibitory control and working memory), with a fine motor measure tapping visuomotor skills (VMS) in a sample of 127 prekindergarten and kindergarten children. It also examined the relative contribution of…

Why Do Fine Motor Skills Predict Mathematics? Construct Validity of the Design Copying Task
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Murrah, William M.; Chen, Wei-Bing; Cameron, Claire E. – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2013
Recent educational studies have found evidence that measures of fine motor skills are predictive of educational outcomes. However, the precise nature of fine motor skills has received little attention in these studies. With evidence mounting that fine motor skills are an important indicator of school readiness, investigating the nature of this…

Mathematical Skills in Williams Syndrome: Insight into the Importance of Underlying Representations
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
O'Hearn, Kirsten; Luna, Beatriz – Developmental Disabilities Research Reviews, 2009
Williams syndrome (WS) is a developmental disorder characterized by relatively spared verbal skills and severe visuospatial deficits. Serious impairments in mathematics have also been reported. This article reviews the evidence on mathematical ability in WS, focusing on the integrity and developmental path of two fundamental representations,…
