We reviewed the literature on the role of working memory in the solution of arithmetic
problems such as 3+ 4 or 345+ 29. The literature was neither comprehensive nor systematic …

The contribution of the three core components of working memory (WM) to the development
of mathematical skills in young children is poorly understood. The relation between specific …

A dual-task methodology was used to investigate the roles played by executive and
phonological aspects of working memory in mental arithmetic. Experiment 1 showed that …

This study examined the contributions of the different components of the working memory
(WM) model to a range of mathematical skills in children, using measures of WM function …

While there is evidence for an association between the development of reading and
arithmetic, the precise locus of this relationship remains to be determined. Findings from …

This study examined whether children with mathematical difficulties (MDs) or comorbid
mathematical and reading difficulties have a working memory deficit and whether the …

Results from a 2-year longitudinal study of 181 children from 4th through 5th grade are
reported. Levels of growth in children's computation, word problem, and estimation skills by …

Passive and active visuospatial working memory (VSWM) were investigated in relation to
maths performance. The mental rotation task was employed as a measure of active VSWM …

A visual short-term memory task was more strongly disrupted by visual than spatial
interference, and a spatial memory task was simultaneously more strongly disrupted by …

This longitudinal study analyzes whether selected components of executive function (EF)
measured during the preschool period predict several indices of math achievement in …
