In this thesis we deal with the role of the commutative property in the organization of the
memory that encodes the knowledge about two arithmetic operations: multiplication and …

Three experiments were conducted in which adults practiced complex multiplication
problems (eg, 4 x 17). In Experiments 1 and 2, after practice participants completed a …

Determining adults' and children's strategies in mental arithmetic constitutes a central issue
in the domain of numerical cognition. However, despite the considerable amount of research …

The identical elements (IE) model of arithmetic fact representation (Rickard, 2005; Rickard &
University of Regina, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada Bourne, 1996) was developed and …

The abstractness of cognitive representations and the extent to which mental processes
depend on the modality or format of stimulus inputs are central issues in cognition and …

The goal of the study was to examine the part played by skill in memorizing arbitrary
sequences in the efficiency with which normal young adults perform simple arithmetic fact …

We examined the role of numerical format in the activation and selection of arithmetic facts.
We also explored the inhibitory nature of this mechanism. To this end, in two experiments we …

This project investigated the retrieval of arithmetic facts from associative memory through
three experiments that examined the obligatory activation of arithmetic facts and through five …

Neuropsychologists actively examine and report cases of individuals who have experienced
brain damage because these cases offer unique insight into cognitive processes that …

Abstract According to LeFevre, Sadesky, and Bisanz (1996), averaging solution latencies in
order to study individuals' arithmetic strategies can result in misleading conclusions …
