A Production Task Evaluation of Individual Differences in Mental Addition Skill Development: Internal and External Validation of Chronometric Models.

Little, Todd D.; Widaman, Keith F.

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v60 n3 p361-92 Dec 1995

Validated models of mental addition processing by testing children and adults in a production task paradigm. Examined individual-difference relations between strategy choice parameters and criterion-related measures of ability. Found that individual differences in the apparently calculative processes that underlie numerical facility are highly related to individual differences in addition efficiency and speed of information processing.
