This paper aims at clarifying the nature of fact retrieval difficulties in an 18-year-old young
man (MO) who exhibited a puzzling pattern of developmental dyscalculia. Contrasting …

Subject-performed tasks (SPTs; ie, carrying out the actions during study) improve free recall
of action phrases without enhancing relational information. By this mechanism, items pop …

The role of executive and phonological working memory resources in simple arithmetic was
investigated in two experiments. Participants had to solve simple multiplication problems …

Number facts are commonly assumed to be verbally stored in an associative multiplication
fact retrieval network. Prominent evidence for this assumption comes from so-called operand …

Mental arithmetic, or the ability to find solutions to problems like 4× 7 or 238+ 567, has been
one of the most frequently investigated mathematical abilities by cognitive aging …

Ageing results in a decrease in balance control and correlatively raises the risk of falling.
Furthermore, dual task situations can increase this age-related imbalance. Within this …

This study investigated contributions of general cognitive abilities and foundational
mathematical competencies to numeration understanding (ie, base-10 structure) versus …

This paper presents part of a multidimensional examination of mathematical giftedness. The
present study examined the memory mechanisms associated with general giftedness (G) …

This research shows that people can unconsciously initiate and follow arithmetic rules (eg,
addition). Participants were asked to detect whether a symbol was a digit. This symbol was …

To explicate the mechanisms which support attempts at random number production, two
experiments explore the role of memory systems in random sequencing. In the first, subjects …
