Solving arithmetic word problems is a complex task that requires individuals to activate their
working memory resources, as well as the correct performance of the underlying executive …

Solving arithmetic word problems requires constructing a situation model based on the
problem text and translating that into a mathematical model. As such, word problem solving …

In this chapter, I will present empirical evidence about the crucial role of prior knowledge on
arithmetic word problem solving processes. First, I show that daily life experiences can either …

This paper focuses on difficulties that primary school students have in facing mathematical
word problems. In particular, we are interested in exploring how they develop in the …

This study analyzed the cognitive functioning underlying arithmetical difficulties and
explored the predictors of arithmetic achievement in the last three grades of Spanish Primary …

This study analyzed the contribution of cognitive processes (planning, attention,
simultaneous and successive processing) and domain-specific skills (counting, number …

In the present study, we explored how linguistic skills (phonological and semantic) influence
the multiple components of school arithmetic (numeration, computation, and word problems) …

Numerous studies have addressed the relationship between performance in mathematics
problem-solving and reading comprehension in students of all educational levels. This work …

Arithmetic word problems, also called verbal or story problems, are verbal descriptions of
numerically quantified situations involving one or several explicit questions. It is tacitly …

Most studies on mathematics learning in the field of educational neuroscience have focused
on the neural correlates of very elementary numerical processing skills in children. Little is …
