Current theories of numerical cognition differ in assumptions about the componential
architecture of number processing and about the extent of notation-specific processes. To …

In the present review we will deal with the following questions: What are arithmetic facts?
How are they related to other cognitive functions? What are characteristic features of fact …

We performed a meta-analysis of dual-task experiments to assess the robustness of the
effects of conducting working memory secondary tasks on arithmetic performance. Four …

Abstract Adults (n= 64) solved single-digit multiplication problems under both speed and
accuracy instructions. Half also provided self-reports of their solutions to the problems. The …

Recent evidence suggests that areas in and around the intraparietal sulcus (IPS) represent
magnitude in a stimulus-independent format. However, it has not been established whether …

The authors used the operand-recognition paradigm (C. Thevenot, M. Fanget, & M. Fayol,
2007) in order to study the strategies used by adults to solve subtraction problems. This …

We investigated if incongruent solutions of simple multiplication problems would elicit similar
event-related brain potentials as inappropriate words in sentences. In Experiment I, 12 …

Canadian university students either of Chinese origin (CC) or non-Asian origin (NAC) and
Chinese university students educated in Asia (AC) solved simple-arithmetic problems in the …

Our ability to perform arithmetic relies heavily on working memory, the manipulation and
maintenance of information in mind. Previous research has found that in adults, procedural …

The complex interplay between cognitive and emotional factors at the base of maths
achievement started to be evaluated and quantified in the last few years. Only a few studies …
