Supporting the Fraction Magnitude Understanding of Students with Significant Behavior Problems
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Emma Fisher; Minyi Shih Dennis – Journal of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders, 2024
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a number line intervention with supported self-explanation on student understanding of fraction magnitude and quality of explanation. Participants were three U.S. middle school students with significant behavior problems. Participants were given eight lessons containing explicit instruction…

The Deficit Profile of Elementary Students with Computational Difficulties versus Word Problem-Solving Difficulties
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lin, Xin; Peng, Peng; Luo, Hongjing – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2021
The purpose of the study was to compare the deficit profiles of two important types of mathematics difficulties. Three cognitive measures (working memory, processing speed, and reasoning), two mathematics measures (numerical facts retrieval and mathematics vocabulary), and reading comprehension were assessed among 237 Chinese fourth-grade…

Building Word-Problem Solving and Working Memory Capacity: A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Three Intervention Approaches
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Lynn S. Fuchs; Douglas Fuchs; Sonya K. Sterba; Marcia A. Barnes; Pamela M. Seethaler; Paul Changas – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
This study's purpose was to investigate effects of 3 intervention approaches for building working memory (WM) and improving word-problem solving (WPS). Children with mathematics difficulties (n = 240; 7.51 years [SD = 0.33]) were randomized to 4 conditions: a control group, general WM training with contiguous math practice, WPS intervention…

Fluid Reasoning, Working Memory and Planning Ability in Assessment of Risk for Mathematical Difficulties
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Partanen, Petri; Jansson, Billy; Sundin, Örjan – Educational Psychology in Practice, 2020
The demands on mathematical problem-solving have increased in almost all school systems internationally and may constitute a barrier for children with special educational needs (SEN). This study explored the role of fluid reasoning (FR), working memory (WM) and complex executive function of planning (EF) in children (N = 62) referred for…

Subject Variables in Cognitive Self-Instructional Training.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Copeland, Anne P.; Hammel, Robert – 1980
Cognitive self-instructional (CSI) programs have been successful in improving problem-solving skills in many, but not all, children. The importance of understanding the influence of subject characteristics in self-control studies, while often ignored in actual research, has been repeatedly advocated verbally. This paper presents a study designed…
